CEO, Compliance Safety Systems
Learn Why David Saunders and Compliance Safety Systems Are The Best In The Nation.
- David Saunders, President and CEO of Compliance Safety Systems, is a 30 year veteran of the transportation industry.
- Mr. Saunders is a current member of the Texas Motor Transport Association, where he serves on the education and regulatory committees. David is also the TMTA national spokesman for the association and thus represents the association at numerous conferences including the American Trucking Association.
- He is a current member of the American Trucking Association and currently serves on two separate committees within the ATA, the prestigious Regulations Committee which directs policy and reviews rule making surrounding the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Education Committee. The Education Committee develops policy and procedures and decides criteria for several national and state safety awards including, the National State Safety Awards, the National Truck Driving Championships as well as State Director of the Year. These prestigious awards go out to honor the drivers, companies and state directors that achieved the highest marks in promoting safety in their chosen area.
- Mr. Saunders served as the Co-Chairman of the “Safe Stat” task committee. This committee was a major influence in assisting the Inspector General’s Office to apply pressure to the FMCSA to correct and update information surrounding the roadside inspection. This change forced state and local law enforcement to input accurate information on the violation reports, which allowed these reports to assist better in the carrier’s safety ratings.
- Mr. Saunders is also a current member of Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance in Washington DC, This is an organization that is funded and made up of State and Federal law enforcement designed to work with the Trucking industry in a joint effort to assist in controlling accidents and eliminating non-qualified drivers. David is a former committee member of the enforcement committee. David still attends and is very much active in the CVSA committee and serves as a “roadside inspection” judge with the CVSA organization for their annual inspection competitions. The CVSA includes almost every state law enforcement officer organization in the country in its membership.
- Information brought forth to the ATA by CSS on the tracking of positive drug screen drivers from one fleet to another has prompted the ATA to join CSS in a Research Project to study the placement of any positive drug test results on the face of the CDL as well as suggest a national database of positive drug test information.
- This last June Mr. Saunders was asked by the ATA to join a special task force to study the affect of CSA 2010 on the industry. This task has met with members of Congress as well as Delegates of Obama Administration to help prepare the industry for the upcoming changes in the regulations.
