Essen Transport takes safety and compliance very seriously. Programs like Drug and Alcohol Testing, and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods are mandatory requirements for all drivers. The Department of Transportation and other governing bodies in Canada and the United States provide our Safety and Compliance Department with tools to encourage a safe work ethic at home, in the workplace, and most importantly for drivers in the cab of a truck.
