“Taking Control of Driver Turnover: Discovering The Truth About Why Drivers Leave And What You Can Do About It," is the name of a Feb. 23 audio conference sponsored by the Truckload Carriers Association.

The conference takes place from 1:30 to 3 p.m. (ET). For reservations or more information, call Ginny DeRoze, director of education and training for the TCA, at (703) 838-1950. Or e-mail her at vderoze@truckload.org.
Conference participants will hear from two carriers that have significantly reduced turnover by finding out exactly why their drivers leave.
Many early efforts to reduce turnover fail because organizations have difficulty getting at the real causes for driver dissatisfaction. There is no single answer that can be applied to reduce turnover. Mistakes in identifying causes can be expensive and time consuming.
A carefully designed turnover analysis process provides you with the information you need in order to solve the problems and monitor your progress. The right information also provides an early warning system to alert you to potential problems early.
Among the speakers will be Rim Yurkus, chief executive officer, Strategic Programs Inc., Denver, Colo.; Don Osterberg, vice president of Capacity Development, Schneider National Inc., Green Bay, Wis.; Tres Parker, vice president of Operations, Boyd Brothers Transportation, Clayton, Ala.
