Ruan is dedicated to fostering a safety-focused culture, which inspired the creation of our proprietary Megasafe Safety Program designed with everyone in mind. We were among the first transportation companies to implement a formal safety program back in the 1940s. Building on that legacy, we later introduced our Megasafe7 rules of safe driving and Megasafe5 rules of workplace safety. Over the years, our commitment to safety has only deepened, with the program continuously evolving to align with industry trends and practices.

The Megasafe mission is to cultivate a top-tier safety culture, enhance compliance with transportation regulations, and mitigate risk through proactive safety and loss prevention strategies. This is accomplished through education, regulatory adherence, and the application of both industry standards and Ruan-specific practices.

At Ruan, one of our core principles is an unwavering commitment to safety. We place a strong emphasis on the importance of proper preparation, particularly through promoting adequate rest. Our Sleep Apnea program plays a key role in supporting drivers, ensuring they are alert, responsive, and focused while on the road.

Rachel R., Safety Compliance Specialist

I joined the transportation and logistics industry in 1974 and have experienced various approaches to safety throughout my career. In 2009, I became part of the Ruan family, where safety is a fundamental focus. Ruan has one of the best safety programs—well thought out, regularly updated, and designed to effectively reinforce safe driving practices for our drivers and team members. In 2014, I transitioned from a Ruan driver to a Driver Safety Instructor, where I strive to help our drivers stay safe on the road—not only for their own well-being but also for the safety of the motoring public.

Someone once told me she was afraid of 18-wheelers. That really stuck with me, and it reminded me of the responsibility that comes with this job. I aspire to be safe, not by chance, but by choice. By following Ruan's Megasafe7 rules of driving, I consider the safety of myself and others. This program is the perfect recipe—its ingredients are designed to help our team members strive for safety.

Lisa K., Team Safety Instructor

Ruan’s Megasafe Safety Program was designed not just to keep the driver safe, but also to keep the general public safe! When I go through our Megasafe safety steps, I keep my family in mind and the fact that many more families are out on the roads with us, and I take great pride in knowing I’m doing my part to help keep other’s loved ones safe as well!

Jac B., Team Safety Instructor
