Section 01

Driver Training & Qualifications
Every driver is onboarded before running loads for D&G, and safety education continues after that. Training focuses on the procedures and equipment our drivers use every day in port and rail work.

- —Equipment awareness for tractors, chassis and containers
- —Applicable licensing and certifications for the work assigned

Modern ELD & Fleet Technology
D&G uses electronic logging devices and fleet technology to record driver hours, support accurate logs and give our operations team visibility into where equipment is. This helps drivers and dispatch stay within hours-of-service rules and supports compliant, well-coordinated operations.
Section 04
Equipment Inspections
Preventative inspection is part of the daily routine. Drivers complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and problems found are reported and addressed before equipment goes back into service.
- —Trucks: brakes, tires, lights, steering, coupling and fluid checks
- —Chassis: tires, lights, twist locks, landing gear and brakes
- —Trailers and other equipment: condition checks before dispatch
- —Reefer-related equipment: checks where applicable to the load
