c) Qualitative and Quantitative aspects – proactive-ness, courtesy, customer service, incident-free rate, disciplinary rate, cooperative-ness etc

Two drivers Mr Zhang Chao Ming and Mr Yuan Zhi Hong of KLF have won the “Model Driver” awards in the competition after appraisal by KLF Safety Committee.
