Fleet Advantage announced the establishment of a new Safety Committee dedicated to providing insight and overseeing critical safety-related programs for the fleet transportation industry and Fleet Advantage clients.

The Fleet Advantage Safety Committee includes tenured transportation professionals with specific experience to advise fleet managers on various safety-related topics. The committee was launched in coordination with the National Safety Council’s National Safety Month, which is observed in June and focuses on reducing injury and death at both distribution and maintenance facilities and on the highways.

Members of the Fleet Advantage Safety Committee include:

• Mike Spence, CTP – senior VP Fleet Services – oversees the entire
  committee
• Terry Clouser, CTP – VP Fleet Services – will focus on safety of vehicles currently in service
• Sandy Rosenfeld, CTP – Safety and Operations manager – will focus on CSA compliance, facility and on-road safety
• Stephen Katona, CTP – director of Purchasing – will focus on new truck safety specifications and education  
• Luis Herrera, CTP – Asset Disposition sales – will focus on safety inspections of used trucks to the secondary market

Safety has always been a major issue for the transportation industry.  Today, new mandates, laws and initiatives have been enacted to keep our drivers, distribution and maintenance facilities safe and to protect the general public against on-highway crashes. The safety committee will help organizations comply with the new regulations and will include methodologies and location visits to insure CSA compliance.
