fessional driver and I know the challenges and trials that a driver faces. I have also had the privilege to manage a large truck- ing company strug- gling with the issues of profitability and safe- ty. The Highway Patrol is not an adversary to the t rucking industry; we are actually their partner in safety.” He said, “Our goals are

the same; we all want them to get from point A to point B safely. That is why I feel it important to include the phrase “Truckers and Troopers” on my business card.” Steve Goodrich, from UDOT, brings to


the table over 33 years of experience from UPS where he took a major role in their human resources, public affairs, govern- ment relations and community relations Steve also assisted with driver hiring and compliance and sat on the UTA Board of


Directors for about 18 years. “I am excited about this partnership

and with resources from each group the potential is immense,” said Goodrich. “Companies put their image and reputa- tion on the line every time one of their vehicles leaves their yard and is out on a public road. Our goal is to promote safety in a variety of ways to pro- tect the company, pro- tect the commercial driver and vehicle, pro- tect the public and ensure every one of them reach their


home, family and friends safely.” Sasha Seegmiller is not only new to this


team but new to the Utah Trucking Association as well having been on board for only two months. Although it’s a short period of time, she is loving it already and look forward to becoming a part of this team.


“I come from an Seegmiller


employment back- ground of government relations and political campaigns, and an edu- cational background in public relations and marketing,” said Seegmiller. “I am very


excited to work and learn from Rick and Steve as we go about promoting safety and the trucking industry itself. I feel that with all three of us, we can make a positive and lasting impact.” UTA officials are excited about the ben-


efits this merger will bring to better serve its members. By accomplishing the stated purposes UTA expects to see a rise in trucker recruitment and retention and a decline in truck involved accidents through educating the general public about the industries benefits and safety precautions. UT
