CSR and ESG – What is this and Why Does it Matter for Fleets?
You’ve heard the terms Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) – but why does this matter to fleets? In this session Matt McLelland, VP of Sustainability and Innovation for Covenant Logistics and Bill Wettstein, CFO and President of Nussbaum Transportation will explain these terms, dive into their importance, briefly discuss current and future decarbonization technologies, and talk about how to look at CAPEX investments from a different perspective than how our industry typically analyzes these decisions. We’ll dive into topics like financial ROI, Social ROI, shipper expectations, and even driver perspectives. This will be a lively presentation and discussion between Matt (the idea guy) and Bill (the financial guy) - while leaving ample time for group discussion.

The Aging Driver Population and Shortage:
How to Bring in New, Less Experienced Drivers Safely!
This session will focus on how fleets can develop a strategy to combat the aging driver population and ever-lasting shortage. We will have an open and interactive discussion that circles around how fleets can bring on new, less experienced drivers safely and with the approval of their insurance carriers. The session is a continuation of our Commercial Trucking Town Hall series last year where we identified, over the course of 7 Town Halls, that much of the driver shortage has to do with restrictions developed by the Commercial Truck Insurance Industry. The issue more specifically, how do Trucking Companies bring in new drivers that have less experience than their insurance carrier requires. Our panel will offer potential solutions and encourage discussion in the following areas:
-
Incorporating Truck Driving Schools
-
Driver Mentoring
-
Continuing Education
-
Initial Compliance
-
On-going Monitoring
-
Tips to approach Insurance Carriers
-
Safety Best Practices
