Perhaps in addition to reviewing trucking companies’ financial performance, it would be worthwhile to measure such things as the health of their drivers.
In the case of Celadon Group, Con-way Truckload and Prime Inc., their efforts to improve the health of their truck drivers have set them apart, with each receiving awards recently.
“We want healthy employees to help us be successful, and we’re helping them to help themselves,” said Celadon CEO Paul Will. His company ranked No. 8 on a list compiled by Healthiest Employers, a technology and data research company.
Likewise, Con-way was honored by the American Heart Association and Prime by Everyday Health Media.
