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 enhance the education of forestry product transportation owners and drivers nationwide. If we all come together and work to improve our training, we will ensure there is an industry left to be passed on for generations to come.
TEAM Safe Trucking’s mission statement
“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
TEAM Safe Trucking has developed a Driver Refresher Training Program to assist both owners & drivers with continuing education using an online learning management system.
Entry Level Driver Theory
TEAM Safe Trucking has developed 34 training courses to meet the requirements of the FMCSA Entry Level Driver Theory Training Regulation
