When a crash occurs, the first few minutes—and the days that follow—can shape the outcome for your fleet, your drivers, and your business. This webinar hosted by SMSC Senior Safety Consultant Justin Smoot equips trucking professionals with the tools to respond effectively at the scene, preserve critical evidence, and initiate a thorough post-crash investigation. Beyond immediate response, Justin will dive into how fleets can determine “preventability,” implement remedial training, and use coaching to reduce repeat incidents.

In an ideal world, how much easier would fleet management be? Drivers' loads would align seamlessly with available driving hours, parking availability would consistently match HOS limitations, and drivers would arrive back home every Friday night like clockwork. However, the realities of modern trucking operations present constant challenges that require comprehensive knowledge of Hours of Service (HOS) regulations and exceptions. Join Joshua Anderson in this webinar as we examine strategies for carriers and drivers to navigate regulatory compliance effectively within the complexities of real-world operations.
