There are complicated layers that comprise the day-to-day operations and activities of domestic trucking. The primary focus of the industry is to make it all happen productively, profitably, and most important, safely – whether it’s at the plant, DC, warehouse, or on the road.

Robin Hutcheson will provide her unique insights as the newly confirmed Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Hutcheson previously served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Safety Policy for the U.S. Department of Transportation in the Biden-Harris Administration. In this role, she led safety policy and coordinated safety efforts across multiple modes of transportation, including COVID response and recovery. She led the development of the first National Roadway Safety Strategy for the United States and helped secure $13B in additional funding for safety programs and initiatives included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

During this special keynote featuring this high-ranking U.S. government official on safety in trucking, Hutcheson will discuss the importance of collaboration, partnership, and communication in the industry - and how she brings these values to her daily work.
