As strong as our commitment to service and reliability is, safe operations are always at the forefront of everything we do at Connecticut Bulk Transport. Hauling hazardous materials comes with great responsibility for public safety and client peace of mind, and we take it very seriously. Our trucks share the road with all manner of motorists - our families, friends, and neighbors, as well as distracted and reckless drivers - so we must be especially sure of both the mechanical safety of our vehicles and the safe, cautious driving of our operators.
Here are just a few of the many ways Connecticut Bulk Transport assures that its drivers and mechanics are focused on safety as the number one priority:
- CBT’s experienced drivers are carefully vetted through background checks, drug screening, capabilities assessments, and referrals from prior employers.
- Drivers have all the special licenses, certifications, and endorsements needed to transport hazardous materials.
- New drivers are paired with a trainer for the first weeks of their employment to assess and assure compliance to CBT safety standards.
- Drivers undergo rigorous security awareness training for handling regulated hazardous material, with refreshers every year.
- The CBT fleet exceeds inspection requirements of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and other state and federal regulatory agencies.
- CBT has an insurance certificate filed with the U.S. Department of Transportation and maintains an exceptionally low record of loss on some of the busiest roadways in the Northeast.
- CBT conforms with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49: Transportation, taking all measures to assure the safe transportation of dangerous materials.
- CBT administers a security plan incorporating action items recommended by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
