Leaves of Absence: Focus on State Mandates

Attending the Metalcasting Congress 2026 in Grand Rapids? Don’t miss the chance to relax and connect with fellow industry professionals at an exclusive evening hosted by Cottingham & Butler.

Join us in Dallas, TX at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel for our first annual Trucking Seminar where industry leaders will share proven strategies to tackle your biggest challenges in 2026. Discover what's actually working to attract and retain talent through our exclusive 2025 Trucking Compensation & Benchmark survey results, learn how top-performing carriers are beating industry turnover trends, and gain actionable tactics to reduce rising prescription drug costs without driver backlash. We'll also cover critical compliance topics like leave of absence management and high-risk member care strategies that protect your bottom line while keeping operations running smoothly.

Your CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) score isn’t just a number—it’s a reflection of your fleet’s safety culture and a key factor in your company’s reputation, insurance rates, and ability to win contracts. In this session, SMSC Senior Safety Consultant Anne-Marie Naples demystifies the CSA scoring system, explaining how violations are weighted, how scores are calculated, and what they mean for your business. Attendees will learn how to monitor their scores, interpret BASIC categories, and implement targeted strategies to improve performance.

No platitudes. No sales pitches. No time wasted. The best leaders never stop looking for better ideas. They put themselves in rooms where the thinking is sharp, the challenges are shared, and the lessons come from experience. This event is invite only.

It's time for a compliance refresh. This month we'll review key compliance deadlines, best practices, and areas that deserve a second look. We'll also cover regulatory updates that have already rolled out in 2026 and what to watch for in the months ahead, giving you a clear roadmap for the rest of the year.
