After Firda Wednesday wrote about a shocked witness who saw what she described as madness on the road, where a lorry and a passenger offended together in a past iteration, the truck industry pointed heita important to have good attitudes and good reputation.
– There is a great need for attitude change in the business, says Trond Nilstad the carrier Magnus Nilstad AS.
Norway Lastebileierforbund (NLF) has since 2009 worked on the project “on the right side” in this context. Project manager Jens Olaf Ruud says that the majority of the Norwegian transporters behave well on the roads, but there will always be someone who does not take security as seriously.
– Through our project we are working for the Norwegian transport industry should be the best. The fact that our reputation will be the best possible, which hang closely with road safety, says Ruud.
He says that they from time to time experiencing episodes which contributes to a negative reputation, and that it is precisely such they want to avoid the project, which has as purpose to change actions within the transportation industry. Through “On the right side” draws transport enterprises security agreements with the Federation, which means that drivers should not rush.

Showing concern
– That one should be driving defensively and show concern on the roads. We are big and dominant, and when we have to take into consideration. We have seen improvement in the companies that have signed the agreement contains Ruud forward.
The project is one business in each county in Norway was appointed to the beacon businesses. In Sogn og Fjordane this Magnus Nilstad AS.
– Companies Nilstad will constantly strive to ensure that they will have a good reputation. Have an it, Norwegian transporters all opportunities to survive in the tough competition from abroad has a rounded Ruud.
It is NLFv who have pointed out this particular establishment.
– Companies in the county have pointed out to us to be a pilot project in the county, says Trond Nilstad in the enterprise, which says that the enterprises after a year of the project has achieved excellent results.
– Less stress for car drivers, better fuel economy on these cars, better health and mood of the driver, and less damage to cars and goods. In addition, we see that the work is at least as effective – if not more effective, says Nilstad.
Shall relax
internally they have in the past year actively working on that car drivers should be driving with vit.
– That one should be careful to maintain distance from the vehicle in front, and not look at the clock.
Nilstad believe there is a great need for exactly this kind of attitude change in the industry, which is related to traffic safety.
– project started in Eastern Valleys, where it was very much pig iteration. The cars low close up in the front. It was so bad that if you drove with vit so were you bullied. Here we have seen that the project has helped a lot.
Although Nilstad have already seen good results, he believes that the reorganization has not been drastic.
– it’s the only reason to relax and to not rush in traffic.
This can professional driver Jørn Røyrvik in Magnus Nilstad AS testify.
Better weekdays
– everyday life has been completely different. Now it is just to sit back and take it easy. One was the little inquiring when we were with the project, but eventually we have seen that there is a great measure, says Røyrvik.
The two says that they after long drive trips now feels much more obvious.
– I notice that I’m even more utkvilt, and that it is safer to not rush the guard says Røyrvik.
they still feel that other companies are not as positive about the project, but we believe this is related to the fact that they do not know what it is about. No hope that they will change when the results of their host presented at a conference in NLF in January. They can namely document to solid profitability.
Through a computer system hosting all the cars their carefully monitored. Here, among other things, speed, braking and using cruise control measured. The result is that each individual driver receives a score that they can follow. The better one is on the different sort of things, the higher sum.
– drivers get feedback on what they need to improve on, says Nilstad.
– I notice that I try harder to be better. One becomes conscious of in terms of speed. Even if one was aware of it before, thinking a more consistent at the moment, ‘says Røyrvik.
high demand
That there is a strong need for attitude change are the two very clear on. They believe yrkesstoltheiten to the driver’s wake. They find that it’s gone so far that more reluctant to tell what they are dealing with – they are embarrassed by it.
– For us to get pride back, we must begin with ourselves, turn Nilstad firm.
– We have to work with it to drive fast is not hard, and this is something all businesses in Norway are working with, he adds.
On their own cars, they have a mark behind, showing that they are involved in the project.
– Now everyone who wants it to be, and get this brand. We find that the trend is about to change – we have examples of drivers here locally who have requested to receive two brand. One on each side of the car.
