Who We Are
Formed in 2015, TEAM Safe Trucking (TST) is a non-profit volunteer group seeking to elevate the standard and performance of the American forest industry’s log trucking sector.
Our goal is to elevate the continuing education of forest product transportation owners and drivers nationwide. We believe that by unifying safety-focused minds and messages, we will ensure a healthy industry that will be passed on for generations to come.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reduce accidents through enhanced driver training and effective fleet management and to recruit new, safety-focused drivers to deliver a sustainable and profitable supply chain.
Driver Refresher Training
Our Driver Refresher Training Program was created exclusively for forest product haulers—both drivers and owners. We believe industry-specific training is critical to a successful business and industry. Training can be accessed 24/7 from any internet-connected device.
Entry Level Driver Theory
We offer 34 training courses to meet the FMCSA Entry Level Driver Theory Training Regulation requirements. (offering theory only at this time)
