James Butler

Principal, Milepost Safety · Certified Director of Safety

I've spent over two decades in fleet safety operations, including running safety for fleets of 1,000 trucks. The advice you get from Milepost comes from someone who has worked through the same audits, renewals and roadside inspections you face.

I've also sat as a 30(b)(6) corporate designee in seven matters. Seeing a safety program taken apart in a deposition changes how you write one. Every policy I draft for a carrier has to be practical, achievable, and something the carrier can stand behind if it's ever read back to them under oath.

I started Milepost Safety for two kinds of clients: carriers of 10 to 75 trucks that need a safety director's judgment without a full-time salary, and defense counsel who want a consultant who has been in the witness chair. I built Milepost Compliance, our driver qualification software, for the same carriers.
