Choosing a trucking company isn’t just about finding someone who can move freight. It’s about finding a partner who values reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction as much as you do.
At Trail Runner Transport, we know that freight safety matters to Baton Rouge area businesses. We also know that safety isn’t just about following the rules—it’s about setting a higher standard for what safe trucking should look like.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Hiring and Training the Best Drivers Keeps Freight Safe
A trucking company is only as good as its drivers. That’s why we:
✅ Hire experienced, safety-conscious drivers who understand the responsibility of the job.
✅ Provide ongoing training in secure freight handling, defensive driving, and compliance with federal safety laws.
✅ Run extensive background checks and drug screenings to ensure we’re putting the safest professionals on the road.
2. Strict Vehicle Maintenance and Inspections Keeps Freight Safe
We don’t wait for things to break—we prevent problems before they happen. Our equipment goes through:
✅Routine safety inspections to check brakes, tires, lights, and overall vehicle condition.
✅ Regular servicing to prevent breakdowns and keep trucks running efficiently.
✅ Pre-trip checks before every haul to ensure everything is in top shape.
If a truck isn’t 100% road-ready, it doesn’t leave. Period.
3. Investing in Safety Technology Keeps freight safe
Safety isn’t just about experience—it’s about having the right tools for the job. That’s why our trucks are equipped with:
✅ GPS tracking – So we always know where your freight is.
✅ Collision avoidance systems – Helping drivers react quickly to sudden changes on the road.
✅ Dash cameras – Promoting accountability and improving driver training.
These tools help us anticipate risks before they become problems, ensuring your shipment arrives without issues.
