Vertical Alliance Group Announces
New Blog and Live Webcast
for Federal Initiative CSA 2010.

Vertical Alliance Group, Inc. (VAG) (http://www.verticalag.com), a nationally recognized leader in providing consulting, recruiting and safety training services to the trucking industry, today announced the addition of a blog on their CSA2010.com website (www.csa2010.com), a site designed to help motor carriers learn about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) new Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA2010) initiative.

CSA2010 is a major Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve the effectiveness of the Agency's compliance and enforcement programs. Its goal is to achieve a greater reduction in large truck and bus crashes, injuries, and fatalities, while maximizing the resources of FMCSA and its State partners.

Kirk Lohse, Vertical Alliance Group, Inc. Director of Marketing said that the blog page was added in order to give the many visitors to the site (CSA 2010) an opportunity to discuss the coming FMCSA initiative and get feedback from authorities on what to expect with the new Federal mandates.

“Vertical Alliance Group is a fiercely customer-service oriented company, and we want to be certain that their voices are heard and that they get the answers they want about CSA2010 ”Lohse said.

In addition, VAG launches a bi-weekly series live webcasts to discuss CSA2010 via BlogTalkRadio, beginning August 13, sponsored in part by Internet Truck Stop, an online load board, with some 150,000 members.

The webcasts can be heard live every other Thursday at 2PM CST Live Radio Web Cast. If you are unable to listen live, a podcast of each show will be available for download as well.

“BlogTalkRadio gives us a bully pulpit with which to talk with hundreds of thousands of carriers and drivers about the issues that are important to them and affecting their industry.” Lohse says. “We believe it is our duty to provide this service to our trucking clients and the trucking industry which has been so good to us for a decade now and we are looking forward to helping them to both understand and prepare for the coming CSA2010 initiative. And, Internet Truck Stop is a great partner to have onboard with us as we begin these webcasts. With over 150,000 members and some 3 million hits a day to their website, they will have our broadcasts becoming “number one with a bullet” in a very short time. And that’s important because there IS some urgency to the message about CSA2010.”
