    AMTA's Doug Walton and Dave Elniski chat with Rodolfo Giacoman, Fatigue Management Specialist at the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), for the third episode of our special edition four-part series: Road to Wellness. These episodes are dedicated to the health and well-being of the commercial drivers who keep goods on the move 24/7.

    In our conversation, we delve deeper into the importance of sleep and fatigue management for commercial drivers, and actions that can be taken by drivers and all parties involved to reduce risk and improve driver safety. Proper fatigue management is the responsibility of more than just the driver.

    • If you are interested in taking the free training provided by the NAFMP on their website, including Module 3 which Rodolfo mentions, take the training here.
    • The webinars mentioned in the episode can be found on the NAFMP website here.

    Nov 8 2024

    AMTA's Kelsey Hipkin and Doug Walton chat with Dr. Mark Manera, founder and CEO of Offshift, for the second episode of our special edition four-part series: Road to Wellness. These episodes are dedicated to the health and well-being of the commercial drivers who keep goods on the move 24/7.
    In our conversation, we want to help change the narrative, provide some tangible and driver-friendly takeaways for improved health behind the wheel, and as Dr. Mark says, put the ‘health’ back in ‘health and safety.’
