Technology has been growing at rapid rates and changing how we do everything from scheduling to purchasing products. As younger people come into the workforce this technology is all they know and they bring that with them into their occupations. There is nothing wrong with that and implementation of technology is a great asset, until it compromises the safety due to a person's dependence of that technology.

In this video I talk about the importance of trip planning and how some old school techniques are what saved many lives in the old days. That same thinking that may be helping you in the office, but may be killing people on the road.

If you are a safety person I urge you to share this message with your team. If you are a driver I urge you to look at your trip planning process and change it so you can make those changes out on the road.

If you want to share the article or read my view over the video then click the link below the video. I would love to hear what techniques you use on the road. It may just save a life. Whatever you do please be safe on the roads and do proper trip planning.

Be safe,

Bruce
