Women In Trucking Association selects Jeana Hysell as May Member of the Month FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Plover, WI : Women In Trucking Association (WIT) announces Jeana Hysell as its Member of the Month for May. Hysell is a Regional Safety Manager for CEMEX – Newline Transportation. Hysell currently resides in Phoenix, AZ and her region consists of all transport drivers west of the Mississippi River. Some of her responsibilities surround the regulations of FMCSA/DOT, OSHA/NIOSHA, and MSHA. She is also responsible for accident and injury investigations, face-to-face safety meetings, safety alerts and near misses, and Drug and Alcohol programs, just to name a few.  Prior to her current position, Hysell was the President/CEO at Safety Compliance Professionals LLC, a consulting firm specializing under the guidelines of FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) regulations for many motor carriers. She also served as their Director of Safety with direct responsibility of any accident or accident procedures plus mitigating in reducing a motor carrier’s score under the CSA (Compliance, Safety, and Accountability) program. She has spent many hours in depositions as a representative for motor carriers and served as an expert witness surrounding driver/motor carrier responsibilities for either the plaintiff or defendant in many legal cases. Hysell has been in the transportation industry since 1979, starting out as a company driver then graduating to an owner-operator. She developed her own fleet of five trucks leasing them on with a major carrier. After successfully driving over two million safe miles, she then left her “office behind a windshield” to the “mortars of a classroom,” graduating in 2003 with Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and in 2004 with a Master’s Degree in Occupational Safety/Transportation Safety from CSMU (currently called UCM). In her continuing education, she has obtained many certifications surrounding Fleet Safety Manager including her Certified Director Safety (CDS), Accident Investigation and Fleet Management, and more. Hysell is heavily involved in the industry, not as only a safety manager, but she also belongs to many transportation organizations. She previously served on the Board of Directors of the Ohio Trucking Association until her relocation to Arizona. Ohio is the state where she won the Safety Professional of the Year in 2007. Also, while in Ohio and employed at Walmart, she took her private fleet to the Safest Fleet in Ohio along with a Driver of the Quarter two years running. Recently under the direction of Hysell, she took an Arizona trucking company to the Safest Fleet in the State of Arizona which also produced a Driver of the Quarter and Driver of the Year. Hysell donates her time and professional knowledge to econoLABS, Women in Trucking (serves as Vice Chair of the WIT Foundation, sits on the advisory board for DOT/FMCSA questions, and wrote a monthly safety article for many years), Arizona Trucking Association, California Trucking Association, National Safety Council, and numerous other transportation entities. Today, Hysell still maintains a current CDL with all the endorsements stating, “You just never know, I might need it again.” Ellen Voie CAE,  President/CEO Women In Trucking, Inc.
