The evolution of road transport in Mexico not only demands more efficient units and new technologies, but also better prepared operators to face the risks of the road , an activity in which training, road safety and rest conditions are fundamental.
On the occasion of Operator Day , International highlighted the importance of strengthening the skills of these professionals through training programs and actions focused on their well-being, given the demands involved in transporting goods in the country.
One of these initiatives is Elite Driver , an efficiency and safety certification program that includes 16 hours of theoretical and practical training, as well as evaluation and follow-up.
According to the company, in addition to improving driving skills, a more efficient operation can open up professional development opportunities and facilitate access to additional benefits related to operator performance.
In the area of road safety, International also participates together with the National Association of Private Transport (ANTP) in the Road Safety Masters (MASVI), an initiative operated by the organization and aimed at operators of affiliated private companies, with the objective of strengthening the prevention of risks on the road.
Well-being during working hours is also part of this strategy . Through its dealer network, the manufacturer has incorporated operator lounges, spaces designated for rest, meals, and personal hygiene for operators while their vehicles receive specialized maintenance.
According to information from International, nine out of 10 operators recommend the brand, a result that the company links to the trust developed between the operators and its service network.
“Operators are professionals who face great challenges and make personal sacrifices to ensure goods reach their destination. At International, we recognize this effort and know that our commitment must go beyond technology,” said Rafael Alvarenga, President of Commercial Operations for International in Latin America .
The executive added that the company seeks to support their development, contribute to their safety, and offer spaces where they feel valued, also considering the impact that long hours and absences have on their families.
With these initiatives, International seeks to strengthen the preparation and well-being of operators, in an industry where the safety of each journey depends as much on the technology of the units as on the capabilities and conditions of those who operate them .
