Vertical Alliance Group’s VAGST.com
Attracts Several New Clients
Web Site Helps Trucking Companies Implement Safety Awareness and
Testing
DALLAS (Business Wire EON) July 19, 2007 --
Vertical Alliance Group’s VAGST.com, an online
training resource for commercial trucking companies and their drivers,
has signed several new subscribers in the first two months since it’s
May launch. Leading transportation companies such as FFE Transportation
Services, Associated Carriers, Kennesaw Transportation, Crabbs Transport
and Southern Refrigerated Transportation (SRT) are among the new clients.
The Department of Transportation reports that more than 5,000 fatalities
and 91,000 injuries on U.S. highways are caused annually by crashes
involving large trucks. VAGST.com provides trucking companies with
efficient, customizable training for its drivers, and is accessible from
any computer with an Internet connection.
David Hedgpeth, vice president of risk management, compliance and safety
for Dallas-based FFE Transportation Services, Inc. and all subsidiaries,
says his company decided to make the course available for all drivers
across all divisions.
“We made that decision based on the quality
and ease-of-access to the Vertical Alliance course,”
he said. “It promotes safety awareness
throughout our companies and a safer working environment both internally
and on our highways. We also like the ability to track driver
participation and the interactive nature of the training helps them
retain the information.”
VAGST.com consists of a series of concise, five- to six-minute video
modules featuring a professional narrator, a slide presentation that
coincides with the video and a follow-up test that provides feedback
based on the content. VAGST clients who subscribe to the course receive
their own branded sub-domain that can be linked to the company Web site,
which makes finding the training center fast and easy. Safety
administrators can monitor the viewing and testing history of all
drivers, ensuring 100 percent participation in the program. VAGST also
offers subscribers weekly performance reports showing all activity for
that time frame, which helps assure companies that all their field
employees are current on the latest training initiatives.
“Transportation companies and truckers alike
are benefiting from the convenience of VAGST.com, and we are pleased to
welcome the new subscribers,” said Jay
Wommack, founder, president and CEO of Vertical Alliance Group, Inc. “VAGST
is an affordable tool for trucking companies to follow safety
regulations and protect our highways from devastating large truck
accidents.”
VAGST.com is an offshoot of Vertical Alliance Group’s
flagship Web site, BubbaJunk.com. BubbaJunk.com is a recruiting Web site
for transportation companies to advertise openings for trucking
jobs. BubbaJunk.com helps trucking companies counter a severe
nationwide shortage of 20,000 drivers, a figure that is expected to
reach 111,000 drivers by 2014, according to the American Trucking
Association (ATA).
