The Road Beneath - Part 1: Who We Trust Matters: Carrier Vetting and Ethical Responsibility
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of ethical responsibility and carrier vetting in the trucking industry.
In this episode, host Kelsey Hipkin kicks off our three-part series The Road Beneath: Ethics, Exploitation & Accountability in Trucking in which we’re pulling back the curtain on the trucking and logistics industry, starting where real prevention begins: with the decisions made at the top. We’re joined by Dave Hewlett , Director, National Safety and Compliance with Loblaws, for Part 1: Who We Trust Matters: Carrier Vetting and Ethical Responsibility . In our conversation, joined by AMTA’s Doug Walton, we discuss best practices in carrier partnerships, why brand protection goes beyond logos and marketing, and why knowing exactly who is hauling your freight matters more than ever.
