Episode 32: Pushups to Paychecks: The Hidden Cost of Neglecting Drivers

In the world of transportation, we talk a lot about safety – hours of service, compliance, vehicle maintenance and more. But what if we’re missing a critical piece of the puzzle? What if the real root cause of many safety issues isn’t just what happens on the road, but what’s happening in the lives of the drivers behind the wheel?

In this episode of the TTT Podcast, hosts P. Sean Garney and Steve Keppler sat down with Dr. Mark Manera (Founder & CEO of Offshift), Tim O’Neil (Senior Workforce Well-Being Advisor at TrueNorth Companies) and Bert Mayo (VP Transportation Risk Solutions at TrueNorth Companies) to explore how these often-neglected areas are shaping the future of fleet risk management.
