Episode 2: Navigating the Compliance Minefield

In this episode, we’re stripping away the jargon and getting real about the regulatory hurdles facing owners and safety managers today. Whether you are a small motor carrier or a large fleet operator, staying ahead of the FMCSA requires more than just a "set it and forget it" mindset.  We sat down with Mark Abrahamson with Acrisure to tackle the tough questions, including: * The "Invisible" Risks: Why "what you don’t know" can lead to massive liability in the event of a crash. * The Annual MVR Myth: Why checking driving records once a year is no longer enough to protect your business in a civil action. * Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse: Clearing up the dangerous misconceptions surrounding intrastate requirements and random testing programs. * DataQs & CSA Scores: How fighting for accurate data can shift the perspective of insurance underwriters and plaintiff attorneys. * Telematics as Strategy: Turning "just a device" into a proactive tool to prevent the "Unsafe Driving" violations that predict future crashes. Don’t let a simple oversight stall your operations. Join us as we discuss simple checks you can do today using the FMCSA Portal and SAFERWEB to spot trends before they become tragedies. 🎙 Sponsor: Acrisure 🔗 Learn more at: ⁠ [https://www.jjkeller.com]www.acrisure.com [https://www.acrisure.com/] Interested in becoming a sponsor?🔗Learn more at: ⁠WMCA Podcast Sponsor⁠ [https://securepayment.link/witruck/podcastsponsor/] 🚛 Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association 🔗 Visit us at: ⁠www.witruck.org⁠ [https://www.witruck.org]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
