100,000 safe miles in first year at Werner Enterprises

100,000 safe miles in any year is an accomplishment to be proud of.  Safe driving takes constant alertness of your surroundings and the ability to predict what others around you may do by studying the behaviors of the road and actions of fellow drivers around you. Nothing can be taken for granted.  Leaving enough space, giving yourself an out, maintaining a safe speed, looking ahead are just some of the basics to safe driving.  being adoptable and taking into consideration of weather and wind speeds are also very important. Every safe mile matters not just for recognition but for the safety of every irreplaceable heartbeat on that road. Every person matters weather they are on the ground or in the sky, where I want my next and final chapter of transportation to take me. Safe miles are precious miles, no matter how they are achieved.
