  • On this episode, we are heading to the world of fleet management, talking about a critical topic that has a direct effect on literally every driver on the roadway. Of course, we are talking about fleet safety and looking beyond the driver themselves to the processes and procedures that happen in the background.

    It is a rather complex topic, and one that I wanted to bring someone with a wealth of fleet experience into. As the host of the “Straight Talk on Fleet” podcast, Erin Gilchrist Roogg has had countless in-depth fleet conversations with some of the largest industry leaders. Experience and conversation that will not only lend itself to this conversation but perhaps to challenges you are facing within the industry as well.
