The National Private Trucking Council (NPTC) awarded 15 fleets from Marathon Petroleum with safety awards based on their 2023 vehicle accident performance. Marathon Petroleum was recognized for its safety record at the NPTC Annual Education Management Conference.

"Our drivers spend a large percentage of their time on the road interacting with the public, so driving has continued to be one of our primary safety focus areas," said Jocko Langlois, Marathon Petroleum's Trucking & Rail - East Transport Operations Director. "Through the use of program tools like Smith Systems training and fatigue policy, plus additional in-cab safety features such as collision avoidance, blind spot notifications, and an onboard camera system for driving behavior, the employees in these fleets have been successful in reducing the number of vehicle accidents year over year. This is not only positive for our employees and our company but also the communities where we work."
