In today's episode, I'm excited to speak with Trevor Currie, owner of Gateway Carriers!

During our conversation, we dive into his leadership involvement with the Southern Alberta Truck Exposition Association, and their collective mission to help make trucking a trade.

Throughout our conversation, I admire Trevor’s appreciation for professionals working in our industry. I think it speaks volumes, when someone that has owned a successful business for some time, can quickly communicate their appreciation for their people.

Also, I agree with Trevor, as he walks us through the mission of the association, to help make trucking a trade, and discusses the benefits this will bring to professional drivers, and to our industry.

Today, I am super excited to have an excellent conversation with Andrew Stacey, CDS (Certified Director of Safety), National Commercial Fleet Safety/Loss Control Specialist with Aviva Canada.

During our conversation, we dive into risk, and the impact proactive communication has when working towards mitigating risks within an organization, and how the level of involvement needs to be with all levels of the organization!

A huge takeaway from our conversation is when Andrew talks about the mentorship he received when he first started in the transportation industry, and how that moment formed his mission while interacting within our industry.

As we all navigate through our journeys in our industry, it's extremely important that we are receptive to mentorship, but are also willing to invest in others. We all have the ability to positively impact someone else's journey.

I am super grateful to Marc Moncion, Vice President of Safety, Compliance & Regulatory Affairs with FleetComplete for joining me for an excellent conversation on the Truck Focus Podcast.

During our conversation, we dive into the benefits telematics and ELDs can provide professional drivers and carriers when utilized, and discussed the opportunities our industry has to really progress as we gain a deeper understanding of what the telematics data is showing us.

A huge takeaway from the conversation for me is how Marc explains the opportunity to implement appreciation programs with the cost savings fleets are enjoying when using the information provided through telematics.
