The safer shift
A serious commercial vehicle accident can cost tens of thousands to several million dollars, and the human cost is immeasurable. The fleets getting ahead aren't leaving safety to chance. The Volvo VNL backs them up with real capability: adaptive cruise control, lane departure systems, and pedestrian detection.
We have a very strong focus on safety. Our goal is that you get home every night to your family.
— Terry Tesch, President, RB Stewart Petroleum Products
No room for error
Technology can back up a safety culture, but it can't replace a trained driver. RB Stewart hauls gasoline and diesel through dense city traffic, with 80% of their miles in urban areas like Houston, Dallas, and Denver, where one wrong lane change carries real consequences.
Backup, built in
Rather than choosing between driver training and equipment, RB Stewart invests in both. The Volvo VNL's adaptive cruise control, lane departure systems, and pedestrian detection give their drivers real backup on the road.
Orozco Trucking
Safety culture starts before a truck ever hits the road. At Orozco, hiring standards, training, and equipment selection are all built around the same priority, safety first, in that order. Choosing the Volvo VNL is part of that same decision.
"Safety comes first. Everything else comes after."
— Roman Jeludev and Konstantin Shaposhnykov, Founders, Orozco Trucking
Expedited Trans
Skipping safety tech to save on spec costs is a short-term trade. Expedited specs distance monitoring on every new Volvo VNL, helping drivers maintain proper following distance before a risk becomes an incident.
"We make sure that we have the right equipment, it has to be safe, reliable, dependable."
— Jerry Velasquez, Owner, Expedited Trans
