## Resource

Making Safety Happen: Why Drivers Must Be Part of the Culture Safety isn't just a set of rules handed down from the office; it's a culture that drivers have to live and breathe. In this episode, we sit down with Brian Fielkow, author of Making Safety Happen, to discuss why true safety starts from the driver's seat. We explore why drivers should take ownership of their own well-being and how shifting the company mindset—rather than just checking boxes—is saving lives and careers across the industry.
