The Plan is for people who drive for work – potential employees, existing employee drivers, owner, contractor and volunteer drivers or anyone who wants to pursue a career in driving. The Plan is also for businesses who want to create driving excellence, reduce the cost of driver injury and accidents and meet their obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Q. How does the DT Fleet Driver Plan reduce the cost of driver injury and accidents to business?
