Questions Before You Get Started?
We’ve answered the most common concerns about capacity, reliability, and how our model fits your operation.
How do you ensure OSHA and DOT compliance?
US1 ShortHaul maintains compliance with both OSHA workplace safety standards (covering terminals, docks, and yard operations) and DOT/FMCSA regulations (covering driver qualifications, hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and on-road safety).
Our compliance program includes regular audits, ongoing personnel training, and proactive equipment maintenance and inspection schedules.
We handle the compliance burden so you don’t have to.
How do you handle safety incidents when they occur?
We use advanced software for real-time incident tracking and reporting.
When an incident occurs, it’s documented immediately, investigated thoroughly, and followed by corrective action.
Root cause analysis ensures we address the underlying issue, not just the symptom.
Incident data is reviewed in weekly safety meetings and quarterly business reviews to identify trends and prevent recurrence.
What is your safety record?
US1 ShortHaul was awarded the 2023 Middle Mile Safety-Yard Provider of the Year by Target Corporation — one of the most demanding and safety-conscious companies in retail logistics.
This award reflects our consistent safety performance across multiple facilities and our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in every yard and on every route we operate.
What safety training do your drivers and yard operators receive?
All US1 ShortHaul personnel receive initial safety training during onboarding and ongoing training through weekly safety meetings.
Training covers safe vehicle operation, proper trailer coupling and spotting procedures, loading dock safety, hazard communication (HazCom), personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, emergency action plans, and incident reporting procedures.
We maintain documentation of all training for compliance and accountability.
How does US1 ShortHaul approach safety?
Safety is foundational to everything we do — not just a compliance checkbox.
Our program includes weekly safety meetings for all drivers and yard personnel, consistent training on equipment operation, hazard awareness, and emergency procedures, incident tracking and reporting through advanced software, proactive maintenance to prevent equipment-related safety issues, and compliance with both OSHA and DOT/FMCSA regulations.
Our commitment to safety was recognized with the 2023 Middle Mile Safety-Yard Provider of the Year Award from Target.
