At Bartlett Tree Experts, our motto “Safety Above All Else” is reflected at all levels of the company, especially with the production crews that maintain your trees and landscape. One of our biggest challenges occurs before we even arrive at your property, and that challenge is the commute.
Our employees are professional Arborists when they are working on your property—and they are also professional truck drivers when they are driving to and from the jobsite. As a company, Bartlett Tree Experts makes a large investment in driver training to ensure our employees are up to the task of operating large vehicles on public roads. Driving a truck is very different from driving a standard car, and it is easy to overlook the stresses and dangers that go into driving these large trucks and sharing the road with the rest of the public. Our trucks are typically slower, have more blind spots, and are obviously larger than typical vehicles. As such it takes more time and distance to stop our trucks, which can pose challenges when maneuvering through narrow roads and driveways.
Bartlett Tree Experts utilizes a Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration-approved driving curriculum that we developed to ensure our drivers are equipped to operate safely. Each driver undergoes many hours of training and is regularly tested by experienced and qualified trainers.
So next time you see a Bartlett Tree Experts truck in your town, keep in mind that not only do we care about your trees, landscapes, and properties, we care about being safe, professional, and courteous drivers.
