In this QuickChat, Kevin Jones, editorial director for Fleet Owner and Fleet Maintenance, speaks with industry experts Jerry Veres, VP of safety, and Graham Parfeniuk, senior sales executive, from Descartes about the evolving landscape of logistics safety training and regulatory compliance. As logistics operations grow more complex, organizations must navigate overlapping safety standards from OSHA, CCOHS, and DOT. These fleet driver safety regulations can vary based on location, hours of service, and the nature of transported goods.
Veres shares insight from his experience at FedEx, emphasizing the importance of safety after the vehicle is parked — an overlooked area. Parfeniuk outlines how Descartes Driver Safety delivers automated driver coaching and proactive training to mobile devices, embedding compliance education into the driver’s daily workflow. The platform helps fleets address OSHA compliance for drivers while also reducing incident rates across operations.
Through final-mile safety solutions and data-driven approaches, the team ensures that safety becomes part of the culture rather than a check-the-box activity. This conversation offers practical strategies and real-world examples of how to build safer, more compliant fleets.
