All In to Zero: Living Safety Every Mile

June is National Safety Month—a time to reflect on what safety means and how we live it every day at Hirschbach.

Here, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a core value that drives every decision we make. It’s about protecting lives—our drivers, our families, and everyone we share the road with.

Our commitment to safety comes to life through our All In to Zero mindset and the Safe 6—a set of guiding principles that shape how we operate, and influence our decision making, on and off the road.

All In to Zero

Our goal is simple: zero accidents. That’s the heart of our All In to Zero safety program. It’s not just a tagline—it’s a mindset and a mission. Every mile, every decision, every action is driven by the responsibility we carry behind the wheel of the biggest, heaviest vehicles on the road.

Living the Safe 6

At Hirschbach, safety starts with intentional habits. Our Safe 6 principles are simple, powerful behaviors that help our drivers stay focused, prepared, and in control—every mile.

  1. Get Ready – Thoroughly prepare to do your important work. This includes making sure yourself and your equipment are ready and safe to roll – and making sure your plan for the day is solid. 
  2. Right SpeedChoose the right speed, the speed limit, in ideal situations. Reduce your speed if conditions are less than ideal. 
  3. Right Sight – Place your attention on what matters most for the situation you're in. Eliminate distractions.
  4. Right Space – Maintain safe following distances and give yourself room to respond.
  5. Right Response – Stay calm and choose the right response to hazards and dynamic road situations.
  6. Reduce Risk – Make choices that eliminate or minimize risk in every situation.

"Do Safe. Always."

At Hirschbach, safety is a value—not just a priority. Priorities can shift depending on circumstances; values are constant – meaning when the circumstances around you change, your approach to safety stays the same. That’s why we say Do Safe. Always. There is never a situation where it's okay to operate unsafely—not for convenience, speed, or shortcuts. 

Whether it’s something as serious as distracted driving or as simple as speeding in a low-limit zone, the expectation is the same: Do Safe, always.

Leveraging Technology for Safer Roads

Our drivers are supported by advanced safety technology that delivers real-time feedback and detailed performance insights. From Geotab telematics that track speed second-by-second to Lytx dashcams that identify unsafe behaviors, these tools help reinforce safe habits on the road.

A Culture That Cares

What sets Hirschbach apart is not just our technology or our training—it’s the culture we’ve built around safety. We care deeply about our people and the people we share the road with. That care is reflected in how we train, how we coach, and how we hold ourselves and one another accountable.

Protective driving is more than a requirement—it’s a reflection of who we are.

All. In. Every Mile.

This June and every month, we reaffirm our commitment: Do Safe. Always. Because when it comes to safety, we’re all in.
