The Professional Truck Driver: Responsible and Accountable is the focus of this presentation. As Professional Truck Drivers, we are responsible and accountable for our industry safety record and public image. Each of us bear the burden. Our driving practices reflect more than mere statistics. They are a hodgepodge of events, actions, habits, and ideas. By keeping the focus upon safety--improving our skills, knowledge, and compliance--we improve not only our safety statistics, but also our image.
