Thinking About Safety 24/7/365

Safety Is Priority One
Safety, a core value at Grane, is the first thing we think about when we wake up in the morning and the last thing we think about when we go to bed at night — the safety of our employees, the safety of our drivers, and the safety of our customers’ freight. Not only do you get great and timely service from us, but when you ship with Grane, you can rest assured that your product arrives safely and in one piece. No transportation company can be in business for over 90 years if safety is not a priority, which is why, at Grane, we actively advocate a culture of safety.

Safety Is Priority One

Safety, a core value at Grane, is the first thing we think about when we wake up in the morning and the last thing we think about when we go to bed at night — the safety of our employees, the safety of our drivers, and the safety of our customers’ freight. Not only do you get great and timely service from us, but when you ship with Grane, you can rest assured that your product arrives safely and in one piece. No transportation company can be in business for over 90 years if safety is not a priority, which is why, at Grane, we actively advocate a culture of safety.
