The Fleet

Every manager knows that when you implement fresh systems, new requirements, or updated protocols... employees usually aren’t ready to conform right away.

Nowhere is this more true than in fleet safety.

Managing safety and mitigating risk isn’t easy, and it’s even harder when your company’s cultures and mindsets aren’t open to those changes.

As longtime CEO of Jetco Delivery and now Executive VP of The GTI Group, Brian Fielkow has decades of experience not only leading and running fleets, but helping transform fleets inside out. And as Brian shares today, creating a culture that promotes safety and accountability starts with the people behind the wheel, not just the technology under the hood.

On today’s episode, Brian talks about what it means to build a safety culture, how to empower drivers through that culture, and technology’s role in it all. Plus, be sure to stay tuned to learn the weirdest item Brian’s ever had to deliver.

One of the most pressing challenges facing fleets is safety on the road. That’s why today, we’ve invited on a man with an extensive background in dealing with the problem of distracted driving - first as a police officer enforcing the laws of the road and second as a lieutenant working to mitigate distracted driving among his officers.

Today’s guest is Michael Crabb, a Lieutenant of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, where he heads the Traffic Enforcement Section and Government & Legislative Affairs Unit.

Mike has been with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for over 30 years, but it wasn’t until the last few years that he began implementing technology to help his officers avoid the same distractions their civilian counterparts do.

Today, Mike shares his experiences rolling out new systems of safety management with his officers, some of the shocking things he realized about his own driving habits after doing so, and the results he and his office are now seeing after widespread adaptation.
