As safety systems become more prevalent, so too do pressures on fleets to actively manage them. Learning to manage systems, as well as convince drivers to buy into new safety systems can be challenging — but the rewards are incalculable.
That was the sentiment from participants in the “Adopting Advanced Safety Technology” panel at CCJ’s Spring Symposium 2015 at the Ross Bridge Golf Resort outside of Birmingham, Ala., on May 19.
The panel, hosted by CCJ Technology Editor Aaron Huff, consisted of Dennis Dellinger, president of Cargo Transporters, Chris Wright, senior regional safety manager, Saia LTL Freight, and Jeff Mercadante, vice president of safety for Pitt Ohio.
