Watching the Weather: Snow on the Horizon

Épisode 72

vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 36:35

As much as we may want to deny it, winter is approaching! Snowplows will soon be out in full force, working around the clock to keep our highways and communities rolling and safe.

Host Kelsey Hipkin is joined by Warren Stasiuk, Safety Manager at Volker Stevin Highways Ltd., and Rob Destree, AMTA Senior Instructor, Driver Development. Warren is back on Steering Change to discuss snowplow safety, what it takes to keep Alberta's roads clear during winter storms, the unique challenges snowplow operators face, and the simple action motorists and commercial drivers can take to reduce risk.

Whether you are behind the wheel of a passenger vehicle, a heavy truck, or managing a fleet, this conversation will help ensure that you are prepared for the season ahead.

If you would like to learn more about Volker Stevin or snowplow safety, contact Warren on their website at: https://www.volkerstevin.ca/contact/

Also mentioned in this episode: a law was put into place in September of 2023 to protect roadside workers on Alberta’s highways. When driving in the closest lane to any stopped roadside vehicle with flashing lights activated, drivers must move to the far lane or slow down to 60 km/hr. Read the law here: https://www.alberta.ca/roadside-worker-safety.

You Don't Need a Title to Be a Mentor

vendredi 17 juillet 2026 • Durée 34:04

In this episode, we are talking about the power of mentorship: why a carrier that genuinely cares about a driver's journey creates lasting success, and how great recruiting goes far beyond filling seats.

In our conversation, host Kelsey Hipkin chats with Brent Bell, General Commodities Relocation Engineer with Action Transportation, and AMTA's 2026 Professional Truck Driving Championship Fred Deddle Rookie Award winner, as well as Lisa Thompson, National Sales Executive with Adecco, and AMTA's Josh Hannaberry, Senior Advisor of Strategic Partnerships.
