    Ep 3: Placards and Pitfalls

    Speeding tickets, surprise HazMat blitzes, back-to-school traffic, and even flip flops at the customer site. September’s Fleet Brief has it all. In this episode, Samantha breaks down the top violations drivers are facing right now, why 51% of trucks inspected were put out of service during a recent HazMat blitz, and how something as simple as proper footwear can make or break professionalism. You’ll also hear the latest on freight market trends, a reminder about the benefits of cameras in your truck, and recognition of powerhouse team drivers Melissa Hernandez and Linda Martinez, who went the extra mile (literally) with nearly 10,000 safe miles in August.

    Ep 1: Lights, Leaks and Brake Safety

    Hot temps, tighter enforcement, and a few costly mistakes—don’t let July catch you off guard. This month’s Fleet Brief covers the top safety and compliance takeaways, including a three-way tie for the most common violations, quick pre-trip tips to avoid citations, and a reminder for HazMat drivers to steer clear of metro-area restrictions like Boston’s morning-rush ban. We also spotlight enforcement spikes in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, plus key dates to watch—Operation Safe Driver Week (July 13–19) and Brake Safety Week (August 24–30). Get the scoop on the new paperless DOT medical card process and why it’s still smart to carry a backup copy. Rounding it out: a real-world ticket breakdown, cooling system tips to beat the summer heat, and a well-earned shoutout to our Driver of the Month, Larry Bish. Fast, useful, and built for the road—Fleet Brief keeps you informed and inspection-ready.
