Washington, DC –  On Wednesday, July 25^th, FMCSA and ATRI will co-host the third in a series of national trucking industry “webinars” that provide peer-to-peer insights on the impacts and opportunities associated with on-board safety systems.  The July 25^th webinar will highlight motor carrier experiences with collision warning systems, addressing issues such as safety return-on-investment (ROIs), maintenance and driver perspectives.  Trucking company representatives can simultaneously listen and watch the live webinar from any location in the U.S. that has internet and telephone access. 

In addition to FMCSA and ATRI presenters, the collision warning system webinar will feature Philip Jennings, Director of Safety and Training for Saia Motor Freight and Marc Boyle, President of Boyle Transportation.  Both carriers have extensive experience with the use of collision warning systems, and how they impact trucking industry safety and productivity.
