August is National Traffic Awareness Month—a reminder that every driver plays a role in roadway safety. For fleets, it’s a good time to revisit policies, reinforce safe driving practices, and check in with your teams. From distracted driving to proper following distances, awareness saves lives.
Did you know Lee Trans offers consulting services with policy review and development? Let us know how we can help your team put safety at the forefront!

Happy National Intern Day! Today we celebrate the future of the industry—the next generation of drivers, technicians, and transportation professionals. CDL permit and driver training programs play a critical role in shaping safe, skilled operators ready to hit the road with confidence. We’re especially proud to support organizations like the NextGen Trucking Association, a nonprofit committed to promoting trucking as a career path for young adults through education, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
To the interns and trainees helping move the industry forward—your journey is just getting started, and we’re cheering you on every mile of the way.

Today we recognize National Disability Independence Day, honoring the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the progress made toward greater inclusion and accessibility across all industries—including trucking. Drivers with disabilities continue to show that safety, skill, and professionalism aren’t limited by physical challenges. The road to independence looks different for everyone, but the destination is shared: opportunity, dignity, and respect behind the wheel.
We encourage you to read more from Women in Trucking about the experiences of drivers with disabilities and how our industry can do better to support them: https://www.womenintrucking.org/blog/driving-with-disabilities

A Word from our President, Jackie Polk, CTP
Mid Year Update for 2025
As we move into the second half of 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on the momentum we’ve built so far this year and share a glimpse of the road ahead. The progress we’ve made isn’t just a reflection of our internal efforts—it’s a result of the trust our clients place in us, the strength of our partnerships, and the unwavering dedication of our team.
Expanding Our Reach, Deepening Our Impact
One of the most exciting developments this year has been the expansion of our strategic partnerships. By aligning with innovative leaders such as Fleetkeep, AssureHire, and SambaSafety, we’re able to deliver end-to-end compliance solutions that are more integrated, more responsive, and more effective than ever. These partnerships reflect our mission to simplify the complexities of fleet and driver management—ensuring our clients have the tools and support they need to stay focused on what they do best.
We’ve also had the privilege of joining several of our leasing partners at events across the country, including our co-hosted NPTC Happy Hour with Wheels and CPC Logistics. These moments of connection are more than networking opportunities—they are a chance to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas, and stay in tune with the real-world needs of the carriers we serve.
Nationwide Support, Local Expertise
Our teams continue to deliver exceptional service to motor carriers in every corner of the country. Whether working with large fleets or single-truck operations, our approach remains the same: personalized support, grounded in regulatory expertise and driven by a heart for service. In response to evolving FMCSA regulations, we’ve proactively launched system-wide improvements—most recently, rolling out updates to streamline and support the changing driver physical exam process. Our ability to quickly adapt is a testament to the strength of our internal systems and the agility of our team.
Looking Ahead: Our Commitment Continues
As we look to the next two quarters, we remain focused on advancing safety, compliance, and advocacy through active participation at key industry events. We look forward to connecting with industry leaders at the upcoming NPTC Safety Conference, NATSA Conference, Texas Trucking Association’s Annual Conference, the TXTA Safety Management Council Fall Conference, IFTA and IRP Annual Meetings and the Southwest Movers Association’s Annual Conference. Our presence at these events represents more than a booth or a name on a program—it is our promise to be present, informed, and accessible. We are committed to offering reliable expertise to association leadership, supporting their members, and helping shape the future of safe, compliant trucking.
Thank You
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far in 2025. But even more, I’m excited about what lies ahead. Thank you for continuing to trust us with your business, your teams, and your compliance journey. We are honored to be your partner.
With appreciation,
Jackie Polk, CTP
President
