Accident Management for Motor Carriers

(Presented in August 2024)

Imagine one of your drivers is involved in a major collision involving a family in a minivan. As the Safety Director, you have become the Claim Administrator and must work with management, law enforcement, insurance companies, attorneys, and eventually a jury in court.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to confidently answer the following:

  • Do you know what to do to properly collect the necessary documentation?
  • What is spoliation?
  • How do you defend yourself against the trend in “nuclear verdicts?”
  • What can you expect to experience from other parties during the process?
  • Are you prepared for court?

We’ll look at some of the steps you need to take to collect records and document the incident post-accident from the perspectives of the accident investigator, insurance adjuster, and transportation attorney. This is not an accident investigation/reconstruction class but a class that provides the safety manager insight into how to systematically work through the aftermath of a collision crisis.

Reasonable Suspicion Training for Supervisors

In November, we will present our live webinar with the California Trucking Association. You can register by clicking here.

(Available after November 21, 2024)

Are you a supervisor of employees involved in a safety-sensitive position? Are you considered a “supervisor” and do not realize it?  We’ll teach you how to identify signs of drug and alcohol use, as well as what steps to take if you have reasonable suspicion to believe that one of your drivers is abusing drugs or alcohol. This will help you prevent accidents that are the result of impairment.

Supervisory employees are mandated to have a minimum of 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and 60 minutes of training on controlled substance use (Title 49 CFR Part 382.603). This webinar will meet those requirements, and you will receive a certificate for the successful completion of this training.
