Wm. Scott Keyer

DOT Compliance and Safety Consulting

  Mission statement adopted for his firm is "Real world compliance - A reasonable approach to safety. Making it all understandable and doable."

  Keyer states that his goal is "to create an environment where compliance and safety are foremost, while achieved in cost-effective means, with preventive maintenance as the primary focus."

  His consulting is done on-site, electronically or through phone and fax consulting. Projects can be one-time or ongoing.

  Besides compliance with DOT regulation, Keyer can inspect rigs and shops, provide train-the-trainer seminars and driver safety sessions. He works on accident investigation, workers comp rate reduction and establishing files for the voluminous paper work required.

  He provides driver hire packages, does drug and alcohol testing and prepares corporate safety documents such as mission statements and safety procedures. He can also be called on for pre-audit consultation. This has become particularly popular since DOT announced its intent to audit all new trucking firms or owner/operators within 18 months of their licensure.

  Keyer has served as Corporate Safety Director for LeeHy Paving Corp. in Richmond, VA, with a fleet of 150 trucks and their drivers. He was also Ground and Air Safety Director for Lockheed/Arabia and the Royal Saudi Air Force in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. As such, he developed effective procedures and protocols for supervision and training of multi-national and multi-cultural work forces.

  Says Keyer, "You cannot write away, delegate away or legislate away the ultimate responsibility of safety for your company and its personnel." As a consultant, Keyer assists truckers and carrier corporate offices on the most diligent and cost effective ways to address compliance and safety.
