About

The goal of the Safety and Maintenance Council (SMC) is to provide membership with the best possible resources to enhance current and future safety and maintenance processes and to recognize members for outstanding safety and maintenance achievements; both on an individual and company basis. The intent is to educate and support membership in order to improve the safety of employees as well as the general public, and to ensure fleets maintenance professionals have the most current information on best practices for fleet maintenance to ensure top operational performance and roadside/scale house inspection results.  The council works hard to make sure our members stay up to date on key topics, but always welcome suggestions and member's input on topics.

​BOTH Carrier and Allied members are encouraged to join the Safety & Maintenance Council.  Join the SMC today at the bottom of this page.
