Moving thousands of pounds of logs onto a truck and then securing it for transport is not an easy task. Not surprisingly, it’s a high-risk activity. Many fatalities and serious injuries can occur as a result of logs falling and hitting drivers or operators.
The Great Depression, World War II and the Great Recession are just a few of the events BITCO has weathered over the course of its 103-year history protecting American businesses.
All businesses have ups and downs. Sometimes you’re busy. Other times – especially as we face unprecedented times due to COVID-19 – business slows down.
Here’s a staggering fact: Each day in the United States, 2,000 people are injured in ladder-related incidents.
Hiring drivers for logging operations is hard. The industry-wide driver shortage combined with the unique skills needed to safely operate a logging truck as well as the remote work locations can make it hard to find the right person for your team.
Using hands-free devices while driving may seem like a safe choice; however, recent data shows that driving while communicating on hands-free devices is not completely risk-free.
