Henry Seaton, a partner in the law firm Seaton & Husk, will discuss how motor carriers can reduce financial risk in their contracts with shippers and brokers. Mike Bassett, principal of The Bassett Firm, will address lowering risk in the context of accident liability. Jeff Davis, vice president of safety and human resources for Dayton, Ohio-based Jet Express, will present his case for early and frequent intervention with problem drivers to reduce both risk and turnover.
