Safety & Awards
Award-Winning Service: Recognized Safety
Atlantic Bulk Carrier has earned a series of awards for its safety efforts. Several customers, including Fortune 500 companies, have recognized Atlantic Bulk for outstanding performance and safety. The Virginia and South Carolina trucking associations have each awarded Atlantic Bulk for its safety record and the National Tank Truck Carriers Association has recognized Atlantic Bulk Carrier no fewer than 10 times during the past 22 years for its commitment to safe operations.
“Because of the nature of the job and because of the nature of the commodities that we are transporting, we need to focus our attention on safe operations every day. That is a benchmark of the service that we provide. We spend a great deal of time, money and effort on our safety program. I brag upon my drivers anywhere and everywhere I go. They do a fantastic job. I will put my guys up against anybody in the industry.”

“I’ve been here 11 years. Great people to work for who treat their drivers with respect and you are a name, not a number. In fact, your dispatcher will know you by name. Yes, we work 24/7, but you have a great amount of home time. I don’t see myself leaving for a long time.”
