Dow recently awarded Dupré Logistics its Gold Safety Excellence Award during the North America road carrier safety director meeting in Freeport TX.
Dow, headquartered in Midland MI, annually recognizes its safest carriers with gold and silver awards. Gold-level awards are reserved for carriers with no serious, moderate or minor carrier-caused transportation incidents.
Al LaCombe, Dupré’s vice president of safety and risk management, was on hand to accept the 2019 award.
“We are honored to win this coveted award,” LaCombe said. “Each employee is a true steward of the safety programs at Dupré Logistics—programs that are overseen from the top down but work daily from the bottom up by job experts completing each task safely one at a time.”
The safety awards are based on Dow’s data for mileage, shipment count and incident history for carriers directly contracted by Dow. Silver awards go to carriers with no serious or moderate incidents, and only one minor carrier-caused incident per 10,000 shipments.
Dupré specializes in tanker, hazmat and petrochemical transportation, and complex supply chain solutions in industrial and consumer products.
