Safety First, Always: No job is so urgent or important that it cannot be done safely. Every team member is empowered to stop work if they believe safety is at risk. We strictly adhere to all regulatory requirements, including load restraint standards, hours-of-service rules, and vehicle maintenance protocols. Our aim is not just compliance, but exceeding industry standards at every step.

We strictly adhere to hours-of-service regulations to prevent driver fatigue. Our tablet-based electronic logging devices (ELDs) ensure accurate, real-time tracking of work hours and rest breaks, supporting both compliance and driver well-being 

All drivers receive comprehensive training in defensive driving, load restraint, hazard awareness, and vehicle safety mechanical inspections:

• We emphasise maintaining safe following distances, obeying speed limits, and avoiding distractions such as mobile devices while driving. Drivers are trained to check blind spots regularly, using mirrors every 8–10 seconds to remain aware of surrounding vehicles.
• Wide turns are made with care, allowing for the additional space large vehicles require and always signalling intentions well in advance. Speed is managed and GPS monitored according to road, traffic, and weather conditions, never exceeding posted limits and always prioritising safety over deadlines.

Every truck in our fleet is equipped with a rugged tablet system that enhances safety in multiple ways:

• Real-time GPS navigation and route optimization to avoid hazards and minimize risk.
• Distraction-prevention features that limit tablet functionality while the vehicle is in motion.
• Instant safety alerts, hands-free communication, and emergency contact access at the driver’s fingertips.
• Integration with collision avoidance and lane departure warning systems, giving drivers an extra layer of protection.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. We foster a proactive culture where drivers and staff are encouraged to report hazards, near-misses, and suggestions for improvement. Regular safety meetings, ongoing training, and recognition of safe practices ensure that safety remains at the forefront of our operations.

MBMT delivers more than freight—we deliver peace of mind. Through unwavering adherence to industry leading policies, systems and best practices, investment in advanced safety technology, and a culture of continuous improvement, we ensure that every journey is as safe as possible for our team, our clients, and the public.
