Atlas expert Drew Bossen, PT, MBA, will moderate the educational session, Pre-Employment Screening: What Every Trucking Industry Employer Needs to Know, along with co-presenters Susan Curtis of CHS Transport and Albert Lee of Tucker Arensberg Law. The session will examine the issues organizations need to address when building a pre-work screen process, and present case studies that illustrate the impact of understanding and mitigating legal risks.
Curtis will discuss CHS and its pre-work screening and vetting process, and what logistics companies need to consider when launching a process. Also, Lee will discuss the legal issues companies need to consider, including federal employment guidelines, disparate impact, and interactions with employers.
“Pre-work screens are an important strategy for carriers to consider during their on-boarding process,” says Bossen. “By presenting this information to the NPTC members and attendees, our hope is to help companies improve hiring practices and reduce lost-time injuries.
“We at Atlas are proud to be part of this important session, and we look forward to helping NPTC members improve their screening processes.”
