California Trucking Association's safety awards program judges companies on specific safety performance, including accident frequency, personnel and hiring systems, documented safety policies and procedures, driver-safety training, internal accident handling procedures, and participation in the association's safety activities. Top contenders' safety programs are audited, and accident statistics are reviewed by the CTA safety staff.
