Turning Operational Experience into Insight—and Insight into Action

Our community of commercial transportation safety, operations and claims leaders develops practical operations and risk management solutions that support informed decision-making. Members gain a fast read on emerging industry trends and regulatory changes, to stay current on evolving regulatory expectations and operational considerations. Through open, peer-level dialogue supported by industry experts, leaders share risk-reduction strategies, policies, SOPs, incident review and operational learning practices.

ASCEND in Practice

We utilize an operator-driven, roundtable forum designed for professional conversation and continued operational improvement. Bi-monthly virtual meetings cover member-selected topics and follow a focused, action-oriented format. Each session highlights key industry trends and includes a focused discussion on operational topics such as DVIR compliance, driver fatigue, camera-based coaching, seasonal exposures, enforcement trends and legal developments. Addressing current challenges, members share proven tactics for immediate implementation.
