Interview # 2 Social Media


Name: David Kasnic Title: Chief Executive Officer CONNECT WITH US!!

Sound Bite 3 (TRT- 00:00:28:15)


David Kasnic, Chief Executive O cer of Driver Industrial. Driver to
me is all about safety. It’s about keeping people safe and when they
get home at night. They can go home to their family without worrying
Facebook >
about a truck rolling over them or an accident at work. We’re in the
mining industry to help people keep safe. It sounds simple but it’s a
big deal for us to save lives. Really that’s what we do at Driver.

Sound Bite 4 (TRT- 00:01:34:17)


And with our products, it seems simple but they actually are very
complex. When you have vehicles in a mining application or an area < LinkedIn
that are so large, this is not a normal size vehicle. You need to have
the appropriate safety items to keep those workers safe. Like a
wheel chocknso that something, a vehicle, doesn’t roll and roll over
somebody. Or roll over a vehicle and kill somebody. So it’s
imperative to have that. They are regulated by the mine, safety and
health administration. And these items like the wheel chocks and our
whips, keep those workers safe because of the visibility and really
the non-technical part of it. You know, it’s not an emergency brake,
it’s something physical that keeps something from rolling. It sounds
very basic but it is very technical and at the core of this is about
saving people’s lives.
