WHY GREAT WEST
Driver Safety Awards
Safety Awards Program for Truck Drivers
Awards and recognition can boost employee morale, increase retention, and promote safety. To help support your efforts, Great West created the Driver Safety Awards (DSA) program. Participation is free and easy!
Driver Safety Award Eligibility
To participate in the DSA program, the employer must be currently insured with Great West and attest that each driver submitted for an award meets the following criteria:
- The driver must currently possess a valid commercial driver’s license and not be disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle.
- The driver must be currently employed/leased by the motor carrier.
- The driver must possess a clean motor vehicle record with no moving violations or preventable accidents. See Appendix B for definitions of preventable accident, moving violation, and clean MVR.
- The driver must have driven a commercial motor vehicle without a preventable accident for the entire period specified on the DSA submission form.
- IMPORTANT: Driver Safety Awards are based on consecutive years of driving or million-mile increments without a preventable accident. If a driver is involved in a preventable accident, their streak of consecutive years or miles ends, and they must start over at zero.
