The National Private Truck Council (NPTC) is again teaming with J. J. Keller & Associates to present a free webcast, "Driver Performance Management: Case Studies in Excellence," from 1 to 2:30 p.m. (Central Time)
on Wednesday, Oct. 31.
"Today, the private fleet professional faces no shortage of challenges such as fuel economy, congestion, safety and customer service," says Gary Petty, president and CEO of NPTC. "The driver literally and figuratively holds the key to unlocking the solution and to converting these issues into a core competency for the fleet. The webcast will focus on proven management disciplines and the strategic use of technology to accomplish that objective."
In the 90-minute program, the presenters will:
• Provide an overview of how driver-focused policy and procedures, performance data and training can work together to help define solutions to nagging performance issues and critical safety concerns
• Discuss the problems encountered and lessons learned
• Cover how they achieved results that impacted safety, performance and profitability

The session, which Petty will moderate, will include presentations from:
• Jim Carlins, PE, PMP, manager of Distribution Systems, Praxair, Inc.
• Jim Angel, CTP, director of Fleet Operations, Atrium Companies
• Tom Moore, CTP, executive director-NPTC Institute, and vice president of public affairs, NPTC
• Tom Bray, editor-Transport Management, J. J. Keller
