Saxton & Stump invites you to their event

Top 5 HR Threats In Trucking and How to Avoid Them

About this event

Managing a trucking company means balancing many roles. Too often, HR goes overlooked until it becomes a problem.

Join us for a webinar with Shareholder Doug Marcello from Saxton & Stump’s Trucking and Commercial Transportation group, Senior Counsel and HR Advisor Laura Bailey Gallagher, and HR Consultant Marissa Cannon from TREW HR, for an engaging conversation on managing HR risk in small trucking companies.

Whether you have a few trucks or a growing fleet, you’ll walk away with clear, practical tips to stay compliant and mitigate risk. In under 45 minutes, we’ll cover the top HR issues impacting fleets of 10–30 drivers, including:

  • Promoting and practicing policy consistency
  • Documenting diligently and decisively
  • Managing medical information mindfully
  • Preventing harassment and misconduct
  • Enhancing driver engagement and satisfaction

Who Should Attend

  • Owners and executives of small-to-mid-sized trucking companies (10–30 drivers)
  • Operations managers and dispatchers with HR responsibilities
  • Insurance or legal professionals who support small fleets
  • Anyone in trucking leadership who doesn’t have dedicated HR support—but knows they need it
