In the world of transportation, we talk a lot about safety – hours of service, compliance, vehicle maintenance and more. But what if we’re missing a critical piece of the puzzle? What if the real root cause of many safety issues isn’t just what happens on the road, but what’s happening in the lives of the drivers behind the wheel?
In this episode of the TTT Podcast, hosts P. Sean Garney and Steve Keppler sat down with Dr. Mark Manera (Founder & CEO of Offshift), Tim O’Neil (Senior Workforce Well-Being Advisor at TrueNorth Companies) and Bert Mayo (VP Transportation Risk Solutions at TrueNorth Companies) to explore how these often-neglected areas are shaping the future of fleet risk management.

The trucking industry is bracing for a significant shift in enforcement. On June 25, 2025, a new enforcement directive will take effect, placing drivers out-of-service if they fail to meet English language proficiency (ELP) standards under FMCSA regulation 391.11(b)(2). This change, prompted by a presidential executive order, has sparked intense discussion across the industry – and for good reason.
In this episode of the TTT podcast, industry experts Adrienne Gildea (CVSA), Chris Eckhart (Scopelitis Law Firm), Bert Mayo (TrueNorth), and hosts Sean Garney and Steve Keppler unpack the details and implications of this directive.

About the Podcast:
Lawsuit abuse and the rise of nuclear verdicts are a crisis in the trucking industry driving up costs, shutting down businesses and hamstringing the industry. We've seen jury awards and settlements in hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars, often far exceeding the actual damages. These outsized verdicts are driving skyrocketing insurance premiums, forcing small and mid-sized carriers out of business, and creating an environment where frivolous lawsuits are a constant threat. However, the industry is going on the offensive.
Joined by Pamela Bracher and Peter Berg, we discuss nuclear verdicts, lawsuit abuse, what’s being done to deal with these topics and how the industry can help.
Disclaimer – nine minutes into the episode, Peter experienced technical difficulties and was not recorded by the podcast. The flow of the conversation might be a little different, but we did our best to still provide entertaining and informative conversation. Please forgive us and enjoy!
Topics Covered:
• The history of nuclear verdicts
• The reptile theory and the psychology behind it
• What are some common situations that can lead to these types of cases
• The media’s role in the trucking industry
• The public’s perception of lawsuits on fleets

In the FAST Act, signed into law in late 2015, Congress acted by instructing the FMCSA to establish the Beyond Compliance Program in response to trucking community interest. The Beyond Compliance program, which has been implemented in various ways in the US (in other transportation modes and EPA) and globally, reflects a recognition that safety measures should not solely be confined to regulatory mandates. FMCSA has yet to act on the direction of Congress, but there has been a recent resurgence in interest for FMCSA to announce its plan of action for implementing the program.

About the Podcast:
One of the major challenges facing the FMCSA is the growing scale of the trucking industry. With hundreds of thousands of carriers operating millions of vehicles across the United States, conducting thorough inspections on each one is an impossible task. Currently, FMCSA is only able to inspect a fraction of the vehicles, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of their enforcement programs. However, it's important to note that inspections are just one part of the equation.
