The National Private Truck Council (NPTC) will hold its National Safety Conference on Sept. 15-16 at the Hyatt Hotel at Dulles International Airport just outside Washington D.C.

The conference will include the following presentations:

• Behavioral Safety—applied to professional drivers
• Ergonomics—At the Crossroads. Improvements at Schneider National
• Technology Review— forward-looking radar, lane departure, roll stability
• Regulatory Update—including the latest hours of service
• Solving the Driver Shortage—creative approaches

  Additionally the conference will present a forum with key government representatives, as well as expert panels and problem-solving workshops that address risks and costs.

  “Private fleets have a well-earned reputation for unsurpassed safety excellence,” said Gary Petty, NPTC president & CEO. “Programs such as the National Safety Conference, in which leaders from throughout the industry share their insights, best practices, and winning strategies, are one of the reasons why.”
