Sorrento Safe

Held to the standard of the plants we supply

Chemical plants and refineries vet every supplier before a truck comes through the gate. We’re an Avetta member, our records are on file with the owners we serve, and our drivers’ inspections are checked every week.

Before the gate

What plant owners see when they vet us

Industrial owners screen suppliers on paper before they let a truck on site. This is what they find when they look at Sorrento.

Avetta membership

Vetted on the platform owners use.

Avetta is where chemical plants and refineries prequalify their suppliers. Our safety program, insurance certificates and inspection records are on file there for the owners we serve.

Weekly driver checks

Every inspection, checked.

Drivers complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections every day. Every week, supervisors run an unannounced check of those inspections, and every check is documented.

Ready for your site rules

A supplier that knows the gate.

We deliver to plant sites rather than work inside the units. Our safety coordinator works with each site’s safety team on the rules that apply to deliveries.

Every day

Training, technology and checks

Our goal is straightforward: every employee returns home safely, every day.

Training and safety meetings

Every employee gets a safety orientation, then regular meetings on vehicle operation, chute handling, protective equipment and hazard awareness.

Fleet safety with Motive

Video safety technology and GPS across the fleet. Recorded safety events are reviewed for targeted driver coaching.

Compliance and preparedness

Training, driver qualification, inspections and recordkeeping for OSHA, DOT, FMCSA and state requirements, plus hurricane and fire preparedness.

Our shop

Inspected every day, fixed in our own shop

Drivers inspect their trucks every day and our mechanics keep the fleet running, so the truck shows up when you booked it.

  • Every weekAn unannounced, documented supervisor check of those inspections.
  • In houseOur own mechanic team handles preventive maintenance and repairs, so a truck isn’t waiting on an outside shop.
