We're back with another two part episode!

Michael and Aaron kick things off with a casual "pre-game" conversation regarding the NFL AFC/NFC playoffs. They discuss their picks to win and who they hope to see in the Super Bowl.

Then they chat about a recent article from FreightWaves regarding the steps being taken to replace traditional side mirrors with Camera Monitoring Systems (CMS). The elimination of side mirrors could improve safety and is estimated to reduce fuel costs due to better aerodynamics.

Then you'll hear from DOT Compliance and Trucking Consultant Kenneth Nolley. Kenneth is a a former Texas State Trooper that served with the Texas Department of Public Safety and the owner of Priority One Compliance Services, LLC, a transportation consulting firm that advises growing motor carrier clients on a range of operational and compliance-related matters (including, but not limited to: securing various registrations, operating permits and licensing, pre-employment / background screening, insurance-related matters, and continuing education for Motor Carriers, Insurance Agents and CDL/DOT Regulated drivers).

His expertise in this space was guided by my prior employment as a Trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety where he was trained on laws and the enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Rules & Regulations that Motor Carriers, DOT Regulated Drivers must abide by and Crash Investigation.

In addition he have served the private sector in Corporate DOT Management roles for an Oil/Gas Service Company and a HazMat Trucking Company that transported Crude Oil & LPG.

The conversation went so well we had to make it into two parts, so be sure to check back later this week for the rest of this episode.

Thanks for listening!
