Trucking news and briefs for Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2021:
Given the growing concerns around a COVID-19 resurgence, FTR has decided to cancel its 2021 FTR Transportation Conference to ensure the continued health and safety of all those who had planned to be in attendance.
This was to be the 17th annual conference and was originally scheduled for September 13-17 in Indianapolis. Registered attendees are being notified directly by FTR.
“We know the importance this event plays in our clients’ ability to make the most informed business decision; however, at this time we determined that we need to prioritize the health and safety of everyone who makes the event so impactful,” said FTR CEO Eric Starks. “We’ll certainly miss seeing everyone again this year as we look forward to our annual conference to reconnect in person with attendees who have come to feel like part of the FTR family.”
FTR plans to unveil in the next few weeks, an enhanced series of FTR's State of Freight and State of Equipment webinars that will include:
KeepTruckin's new AI Dashcam instantly detects unsafe driving and alerts drivers in real time.
According to the company, the AI-based detection for driver distraction and close following enables the AI Dashcam to combine multiple key recognition components, such as cell phone use, driver fatigue and seat belt monitoring into the platform.
