The Next Chapter: The Rob Report on Substack.
Who is Rob?
Hey, I’m Rob Carpenter, and if you’ve followed my work on LinkedIn, you already know I’m passionate about all things transportation, compliance, risk control, and driver safety. For over two decades, I’ve been on the front lines, driving trucks, managing fleets, running compliance programs, and helping companies navigate the challenges of this ever-evolving industry. My mission has always been simple: protect drivers, reduce risks, and ensure fleets operate smoothly and safely.
After sharing daily insights, crash analyses, and driver safety tips on LinkedIn with millions of impressions, it’s time to take the next step. Welcome to my Substack. Here, I’m diving deeper into the industry issues we face and offering more exclusive, actionable content to help you, your fleet, and your team operate at the top of your game.
Why Substack, and Why Now?
The transportation industry is changing fast, and so is how we access and use information. I’ve created this Substack to offer something more comprehensive, something more than just LinkedIn posts or quick tips. Here, I’ll break down complex topics, share in-depth assessments, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at vendor trials, side-by-side product assessments, fundamental risk mitigation and defensive driving strategies, etc. You’ll also find access to forms, processes, and training frameworks that can transform how you manage your transportation business.
