Safety matters and the numbers indicate there’s still much to do. In July, I posted an IdeaXchange blog talking about safety technology in trucks, including lane departure warning and collision avoidance/mitigation systems. The main barrier that keeps fleets from installing these systems is often cost; however, the cost of not […]

Numbers Don’t Lie; We Still Have a Long Way to …

Procrastination is a normal human response. But when it comes to migrating from AOBRDs to ELDs, waiting will only make matters worse. Back in February of 2018, Victoria Kresge, Vice President of Dedicated Services & Logistics for NationaLease, posted a blog warning fleets that they had a very limited time […]

Time Catches Up to AOBRDs. Are You Ready?

The technician shortage isn’t going away; however, there are steps you can take that may help you in your recruitment efforts. As you may have noticed, I’ve been posting a number of blogs recently on the need for successful technician recruitment efforts. That’s because we continue to face a daunting […]

4 Key Elements of Technician Recruitment

On my June trip to New Jersey, I found the meaning of life.  That probably requires some clarification.  Let me explain… I left Chicago early in the morning, landed in Newark, got a rental car, and drove to South Brunswick.  My first stop was A & D Truck Leasing, a […]

Jane Clark On the Road: July 2019

I’ve written many blogs […]

Lately, I’ve written a number of blogs both here on the NationaLease site as well as on FleetOwner’s IdeaXchange blogsite, regarding the problem of recruiting qualified […]

Keep Your Employees from Walking Out the Door

There was both anticipation and dread when the ELD mandate was first proposed and then enacted. So what are the results? Data is still being gathered on the effects ELDs have had on the trucking industry and on road safety issues. The ELD mandate was first proposed in 2012 and […]

Three ELD Concerns and Assumptions: What Is the Reality?

Ensuring you have the drivers and technicians you will need for tomorrow necessitates training for tomorrow’s technology … today! There is no question that technology in every industry is transforming the way today’s workers do their jobs, and the trucking industry is no exception. According to Robert Braswell, TMC’s executive […]

Preparing for a Trucking Job of the Future in the …

In January, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, there were 7.6 million job openings and only 6.5 million actually looking for work. That situation is unsustainable. Last week, a FleetOwner article covered the growth of robots in the workplace…how they are taking over jobs once only performed by people, […]
