Roland B. Brown

For many years, I have attended specialized training courses, and continue to attend these courses sponsored by state and national Trucking Associations who have developed programs to better equip and train safety managers, operations managers and top management personnel. These are courses designed for people in leadership roles of motor fleet and trucking companies. I continue to regularly attend these courses in an effort to better serve clients in consulting and expert witness cases, and more effectively promote highway safety within the motor fleet industry and transportation companies.
