Hello, I am Truckestates an expert in Truck Safety and improving companies overall performance in safety. I have more than 10 years experience in the trucking industry. I have held a certification in Level 1-3 inspections, Hazmat, buses, accident investigation and, drug and alcohol recognition. I have testified in court against truck companies and drivers with conviction rate above a 90%.

I have inspected more than 5,000 trucks and interview more than 10,000 drivers as they travel across the United States.

Subsequently, thousands of companies daily operations have been canceled due to out of service violations issued roadside. I'm responsible for making sure fleet owners, drivers and dispatchers are aware of the hazardous issues that can disrupt their daily operations and can possibly shut their companies down for life.
