Interactive Driver Safety
Protecting the motoring public and our drivers is a core value for Total Transportation Services (TTSI).

It alerts drivers when turning or changing lanes if there is an object, vehicle, or person in the driver's blind spot.
TTSI has installed this system on our ultra-low emission CNG drayage trucks.

Driver Health
TTSI provides Emerge EFA testing for all drivers. Soft tissue injuries are difficult to diagnose, and MRIs cannot help with sprain and strain injuries. Emerge’s Electrodiagnostic Functional Assessment (EFA) Test is designed to objectively diagnose and identify the location, extent, nature and age of soft tissue injuries. Emerge’s EFA technology is registered with the FDA as a Class II Medical Device for musculoskeletal disorders.
A baseline assessment is performed with all new hires, and the unread data is immediately stored in a secured database. The baseline assessment is only read when an injury occurs, and a post-injury assessment is performed.
When a work-related injury is reported, a post-injury assessment is performed and compared to the baseline assessment to determine whether there has been a change in condition. In addition, because EFA testing provides accurate diagnosis of soft tissue injuries, the post-injury assessment also helps to inform targeted, site-specific treatment for an enhanced recovery process.
