WEBINAR: CSA 2010’s impact on the driver force

osterberg_don squareAs carriers begin to cope with the realities of Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010, they’ll look at retention and recruitment in new ways. In a webinar produced by Overdrive and Truckers News, Schneider National’s Don Osterberg will examine how fleets need to evaluate drivers’ safety performance and whether the new federal safety initiative will create a shortage of drivers with sufficiently clean records. The free, one-hour presentation, “CSA 2010’s impact on the driver force,” will take place at 3 p.m. (CST) March 17. register.

Osterberg is Schneider’s senior vice president of safety, security, & driver training. He is chairman of the American Trucking Association’s Safety Policy Committee and also chairs the Research Advisory Committee of the American Transportation Research Institute. Osterberg is a member of the Trucking Industry Committee of the Transportation Research Board and serves on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Advisory Committee for Intelligent Transportation.
