Safety is Mission-Critical
According to an informative white paper we’re featuring from Driving Dynamics, “research has shown that 90% of all traffic accidents can be avoided when the driver has just one more second to react and knows what to do with that additional one second.” Don’t you want your drivers to have that one extra second?
We’ve also got a video from Wheels’ Michele Zeiler on how to change organizational cultures around safety, which is key if your goal is to effect lasting change.
Also featured in this issue, a Q&A with Kathryn Schifferle, CEO of Work Truck Solutions, which is the first online commercial vehicle inventory solution that enables commercial dealerships to display and search truck inventory by chassis and body type, and another fantastic column from Jeof Bean on how to Create a Customer Experience Advisory Board to Improve Your Fleet Services.

Emerging out of the blue, the company has set up shop in California and says it is looking to put up a new, $1 billion manufacturing plant But exactly where its money is coming from and what sort of cars it plans to build are far from clear.
