BRAVO
Every day, Atlas Professional Van Operators put in long hours and hard work to help Atlas customers go new places®

Because of this, Atlas Agencies throughout the U.S. and Canada dedicate time annually to Boost Recognition of Atlas Van Operators (BRAVO). Why? Because we understand our van operators are critical to our overall success. We've earned the reputation as one of the best service providers in the industry because we have the very best PVOs in the industry, and our PVOs go above and beyond each day to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers.

From small, humble gatherings to catered lunches and giveaways, agencies roll out the red carpet throughout BRAVO for those who DriveAtlas!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all Atlas Van Operators for all you do for us every day!

History of BRAVO:

Van Operator Appreciation Event Began many years ago with ROAD Day

In 1988, Atlas began celebrating a company-wide event, called ROAD Day (Recognizing Our Atlas Drivers), to thank these outstanding men and women who bring the trucks, the brains, and the brawn to moving. When the first ROAD Day arrived, just after the busiest season on record, Atlas van operators steered their rigs toward the nearest of any of the Atlas agencies. They were greeted by ROAD Day banners, employees wearing ROAD Day buttons, and refreshments—all in their honor.

The Event Changes to Three Days!

As the years passed by, this tradition continued as a fun way for agency staff to get together with Atlas van operators and congratulate them on a job well done. However, one issue persisted throughout the history of this event. While ROAD Day was established as a day of appreciation for van operators, each year many van operators were not able to participate as they were either on the road or otherwise performing a move. At the start of 2011, a decision was made that instead of a single ROAD Day, Atlas would host a whole week of appreciation in which van operators would have more opportunities to participate and it was renamed BRAVO. In 2017, the week long celebration was condensed to three days as a happy medium.
 
Atlas Agents Open Their BRAVO Celebrations to Other Drivers

Throughout BRAVO, agencies in the U.S. and Canada extend an invitation beyond just Atlas PVOs by welcoming van operators from other carriers to their celebrations. This is a great opportunity for Atlas Agencies to show off the advantages of becoming an Atlas van operator while showing appreciation for the van operating community as a whoe. BRAVO is a great ice breaker and a perfect excuse to invite other drivers out to meet an agency’s staff as well as the men and women currently driving for Atlas.

Atlas Agencies responded with a full range of dates and activities. Nearly half of the participating Agencies celebrated throughout the three days, while many others chose one or two days of participation. From fully themed events with contests and catered meals to small cookouts or breakfasts, one constant remains throughout these celebrations: Atlas van operators are the best in the business.

So as we refer to this celebratio

Dan Lammers invites AJ, Mike, and Clay to discuss Safety and Maintenance and what to do if your in an accident. Call: 812-492-4900

ACE Relocation

The trucking industry plays a vital role in the global economy by facilitating the transportation of goods across vast distances. Safety and maintenance within the trucking industry are crucial components that contribute to its overall efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. 

1. Reduced Accidents and Injuries:
Emphasizing safety measures and proper maintenance practices helps reduce the number of accidents and injuries on the road. Well-maintained trucks are less likely to experience breakdowns or mechanical failures that could lead to accidents. This not only protects the drivers and passengers of the trucks but also other road users.

2. Improved Road Safety:
By maintaining trucks in optimal condition, the risk of causing accidents due to mechanical failures, such as brake malfunctions or tire blowouts, is significantly reduced. This leads to safer roadways for everyone, including pedestrians and other drivers.

3. Enhanced Driver Well-Being:
Safe and well-maintained trucks contribute to a more comfortable and safer working environment for truck drivers. Properly functioning equipment reduces driver stress and fatigue, which are critical factors in preventing accidents caused by human error.

4. Regulatory Compliance:
Adhering to safety regulations and maintenance standards ensures that trucking companies and drivers remain in compliance with legal requirements. This not only prevents potential legal issues and penalties but also reinforces the industry's reputation for responsible practices.

5. Cost Savings:
Regular maintenance of trucks helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs. This proactive approach can save trucking companies significant amounts of money in the long run. Additionally, well-maintained trucks are more fuel-efficient, contributing to cost savings on fuel expenses.

6. Increased Efficiency and Reliability:
Maintained trucks are less likely to experience breakdowns or delays due to mechanical issues. This leads to increased operational efficiency and reliability, ensuring that goods are delivered on time and in optimal condition.

7. Positive Environmental Impact:
Properly maintained trucks emit fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases into the environment, contributing to reduced air pollution and a smaller carbon footprint. This aligns with growing societal concerns about sustainability and environmental responsibility.

8. Reputation and Customer Trust:
Trucking companies that prioritize safety and maintenance develop a reputation for reliability and professionalism. This can lead to increased customer trust and loyalty, as clients value timely and secure deliveries.

9. Longevity of Equipment:
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of trucks and equipment. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and investments in new vehicles, resulting in cost savings for trucking companies.

10. Industry Image:
A commitment to safety and maintenance enhances the overall image of the trucking industry. Demonstrating responsibility and dedication to safe practices fosters a positive perception among the public and potential employees, ult
