Rob Smallwood, Director of Safety for Reads Moving
Systems (1711), knows what happens “when things go wrong.” Rob is a former law enforcement officer. He has seen the grief when safety infractions lead to
accidents. Fatalities. Lawsuits. Ruined careers.
And, as a professional van operator and driving instructor,
he knows the stresses and distractions van operators have
to deal with. He wants to keep them from making career-
ending mistakes. So, in addition to his day job, he helps the
Atlas safety team educate Atlas operators about CSA — the
safety regulations that govern their profession.
“There are two points I try to drive home,” says Rob. “One,
you must complete a proper pre-trip inspection, the onus
isn’t just on the company—it’s on you as well as a professional
CMV driver. Two, if you run without
one, you’re putting your entire career — 20, 30, 40 years —
on the line as you roll the "no safety" dice.
When things go wrong, you are accountable.
You’re the one who turned the key.”
