ย The American Trucking Associations (ATA) named Dan Horvath, a former director of compliance and safety at TransForce Inc., as its new director of safety policy.
Heโs also been an auditor with the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and spent several years in the operations and safety department at Pennsylvania-based Mlaker Transportation, a motor coach company.
โIโve spent my professional career working in commercial vehicle and highway safety, so Iโm excited to bring that experience to ATA to help this industry and our members improve upon truckingโs already impressive safety record,โ Horvath said. โATA has always been a strong voice for safety and Iโm delighted that I now get to be a part of that.โ
โHaving Danโs perspective as someone who has lived with these rules and created a safety culture in the field will be of vital importance to us,โ added Bill Sullivan, executive vice-president for advocacy.
