The Minnesota Trucking Association proclaimed a year-long effort to provide information and training to its members and their drivers to improve road safety. The "Keep Both Hands on the Wheel" campaign will focus on reducing diverted driving by making the truckers, their employers, contractors and the public to follow safe driving habits.

John Hausladen, president of MTA has said that safety is the trucking industry's chief concern and the MTA members and their drivers are dedicated to continue the statewide trend of increasingly safer roads. Though their members are continually focused on safety and education, in 2010 they are urging truckers to make a specific commitment to 'Keep Both Hands on the Wheel.'

The campaign will encourage drivers to keep away from activities that take their hands off the wheel and divert their concentration. The campaign will feature Web-based courses and in-person training for member companies and drivers. MTA has also decided to provide members, truckers and the general public with tips to stay observant

So let's hope that this Campaign will be a successful one and will lead to safer roads...
