TRANSPORTATION SAFETY INC.

Robert W Chittendon, President

Don't put ant emphasis on the title President, I am also the custodian and all that falls in-between. I arrived at DOT compliance, accident prevention and  Loss Control analysis and evaluation after eight years in the military, ten years in law enforcement and twenty-five years in transportation. The military had little to with anything - except learning that rules, regulations and structure is what keeps most things from becoming chaotic. SMS BASIC's and driver qualification file management is the military SOP - Standard Operating Procedure It leaves minimal "wiggle" room. SMS BASIC's are seven areas of performance that are evaluated through roadside inspections and DOT compliance reviews that report carrier and driver performance statistics, in percentile comparrison to similiar carriers, in relationship to the FMCSR's

Law enforcement, my area of academic study educated me in detection, observation, critical analysis and unemotional evaluation of factual information, while placing aside that which has yet to be proven. Transportation is the milieu that allowed it all to come together and provided a means of obtaining life's sustenance that I find enjoyable and fulfilling. Accident investigation and analysis is the initial step toward productive risk management.

Since 2002 I have been engaged primarily with Insurance Underwriters providing Risk Management and Loss Control Evaluation for public transportation (both commodity and passenger), building, property and contents, warehousing, telecommunications and insured to value comparisons for public liability, general liability and physical damage. I have provided services to underwriting, safety management and company ownership in the conterminous United States and Canada. My wife of sixty-four years and I reside in Northern Wisconsin and enjoy sailing and bike -the pedal kind- riding.

Forty years in transportation safety and related areas can be shared with your management and supervisory personnel on an 'as needed basis.' Seminars and workshops can be presented for trucking, para-transit and passenger operations. One-on-one advising and consulting can be arranged for specific areas of concern. Training and safety videos - https://transportationsafetyinc.com/mall - can be produced that are specific to your operations. Less than Satisfactory Safety Rating, Compliance Reviewss, and SMS BASIC's percventiles can be mitigated by expeditious and encompassing Safety Management Plans (SMP's) being submitted by carriers. Transportation Safety, Inc has extended experienced in DOT compliance.

We extend beyond consulting - our aim is to work in collegiality with your support staff and to assist you in  compliance with the FMCSR's while providing safe and timely transport of property, persons and data entrusted to your care.
