Averitt From The Driver’s Seat Podcast

The severe winter weather that hit the South in the middle of January created scenarios that led to delays and even roadways being shut down. Can a driver use Personal Conveyance (PC) even when they're out of driving hours? Jason Bolton of our safety and compliance leadership joins host David Broyles in the studio to talk about this kind of situation, as well as other great safety topics on this episode of From The Driver's Seat.

One of the keys to our team's success is communication. And that's extremely important to the relationships between our fleet managers and Truckload drivers. Podcast host David Broyles is joined by fleet manager Myla Hogue and Gadsden driver Thomas Byrnes to talk about their communications styles and how they well work together.

Communication is one of the keys to our team's success, and that includes receiving feedback from our drivers. That's why we're proud to announce a new partnership with PDA, one of the leading agencies in the transportation industry when it comes to driver feedback. Scott Dismuke with PDA recently joined host David Broyles on the From the Driver's Seat podcast to talk about what our drivers can expect with this new feedback channel.
