In today’s episode, we sit down with Anthony Triggs, the Director of Safety and Compliance at Interstate Van Lines. With over 25 years of hands-on safety experience and a current CDL, Anthony shares his unique "servant leader" approach to fleet management.We dive deep into the implementation of dash cam technology and event recorders within the moving industry.

Anthony explains why the primary focus should always be on driver exoneration rather than just rule enforcement. We also explore the 15-year technology gap between freight and moving, the power of "operational huddles" for driver buy-in, and how AI-driven "nudges" are proactively keeping drivers safe.Whether you are a safety director or a fleet owner, this conversation is packed with actionable insights on protecting your drivers and your business.
