Oklahoma
City, OK – March 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / Gemini
Motor Transport, the primary fuel hauler for Love’s
Travel Stops & Country Stores and member of the Love’s Family of
Companies, announces its efforts to recognize safety by rewarding company
drivers who have remained accident-free and met Gemini’s strict safety
policies and procedures for five years. Gemini is honoring more than 60
drivers through its Safe Driver Credits program this year, including the
first-ever award for a crude driver. Gemini will distribute more than $1.85
million in bonuses through the program this year.
“Gemini
prides itself in driver safety and this program is one of the many ways
we show our support and appreciation to the drivers who make safety a top
priority,” said Brent Bergevin, vice president of transportation for Gemini.
“The Safe Driver Credits program has drastically reduced driver turnover
and has helped Gemini continue its incredible safety record. We’re pleased
to present drivers with this well-earned bonus.”

Safety
credits are awarded to drivers on an annual basis. To earn one credit,
drivers must remain accident-free and have no tickets or fuel-related incidents
over the course of one year. Drivers must also pass all U.S. Department
of Transportation and Gemini inspections and adhere to Gemini’s stringent
safety policies. Once drivers collect five safety credits, they’re eligible
to receive the bonus. Drivers were recognized at receptions across the
country in February and March.
In
2017, Gemini received the Harvison Division North American Safety Champion
Award from National Tank Truck Carriers, Inc. (NTTC), for the company’s
safe driving record. The award recognizes the best tank truck industry
safety programs in two different mileage divisions. Gemini won the more
than 40 million miles category with an accident frequency of 0.291 accidents
per million miles. Gemini is also up for the award again for its accomplishments
in 2018.
Since
recognizing the inaugural 2015 class in 2016, Gemini has awarded more than
$8.1 million in Safe Driver Credits to drivers. To learn more about Gemini,
