One of the presenters at a recent NTSB webinar, “Collision Avoidance Technologies – Why You Need Them in Your Trucks Today!”, was Robert Maag, the VP of Operations for a small trucking company, Perfect Transportation. He had some wise advice for trucking companies related to investment in safety for a fleet:

Investment in the front end can be extremely minimal in proportion to what could be at risk at the back end.

Then he asked, As a business owner or executive, what keeps you awake at night?

From his perspective, investing in fleet safety is business commonsense. I couldn’t have said it better myself: Investing in underride protection is in the best interest of the trucking industry and an appropriate cost of doing business.

Win/Win.
