  Jan 2008 - Jun 2018

  DOT Safety Coordinator/Trainer

  As DOT Safety Coordinator my main objective was to educate. Whether it be actual driver training or individual/group meetings and q/a safety sessions, my mission was to inform participants of current DOT regulations and how they relate to company functions. These would include proper load securement techniques, log book issues, the importance and performance of pre-trip inspections. The benefits to well informed and compliant employees are not limited only to the company, but provide a safer environment on the public roadways. My work history in DOT regulations has provided a solid background with governmental regulatory compliance. Off-season training sessions and job-site audits allowed me to take my experience to the field, conducting one-on-one training as needed and covering large, divisional training needs. Utilizing experience in fleet maintenance and inventory software, I was successful at integrating maintenance records, as required by DOT regulations, into the program, allowing instant record access. Going a step further, I implemented the use of a cloud-based file storage program (BOX) which allowed inspection reports and all corresponding vehicle maintenance and repair records as well as the required driver file records to be accessed in one place. My background in the transportation industry started in 1985 as a driver for a small local fleet. Over the years I broadened my knowledge to include dispatching/brokering eventually coming full circle, specializing in DOT regulations and compliance. Show less
