We run by the book. Here is exactly how we keep our drivers, our equipment and your freight safe, from the day a driver is hired to the moment your load is delivered.
Every new company driver completes the ALFA Clan two-week training course, then rides along with one of our experienced drivers before running loads on their own. Owner-operators complete a one-week ALFA Clan training before their first load.
Every truck and trailer is inspected before each trip and again when the trip is done, so small problems get caught before they become big ones.
Every truck comes back to our Houston base every three weeks for an oil change and a check of tires, brakes, lights, hitch and securement gear. Cristian, our owner and maintenance manager, oversees the work.
Every truck carries ratchet straps, chains and binders, tarps, and edge protectors, so each load is strapped, chained or tarped the way that freight needs.
Every truck runs Motive electronic logs (ELD), and driving hours are managed to stay within hours-of-service rules.
Our company drivers run on a rotation of three weeks on and one week off, so they get real time off and come back to the road rested.
Every driver signs our written inspection policy and is held accountable for the results of every roadside inspection.
The driver calls dispatch first, dispatch updates the broker right away, and Cristian arranges the repair or roadside help. Someone answers the phone at any hour while a load is moving.
These are the practices we follow every day. They describe how we operate and are not a guarantee of any specific outcome.
