Tank Trucks, Safety, and Careers in the Trucking Industry with Usher Transport
In this episode, Lindsey talks with Dave Powell and Beau Mosley, from Usher Transport.
The talk focused on the transition of professionals into the trucking industry, highlighting Beau's shift from law enforcement to serving as Chief Risk Officer at Usher Transport, and Dave Powell's extensive career in trucking since 2001. Key challenges were discussed, including the need for driver training, compliance, and addressing the aging workforce while engaging younger generations at events like the FFA convention to spark interest in trucking careers. The meeting underscored the importance of initiatives such as the new FMCSA pilot program allowing young adults to drive trucks interstate, as well as advocacy efforts by organizations like NextGen and NTTC to mitigate industry challenges, including the driver shortage and rising insurance costs, while promoting the vital role of trucking in the national economy.
