Dan Shipley

A trucking industry professional since 2015, Dan embarked on his journey after earning his CDL from Roadmaster Driving School in Columbus, OH. His unconventional path includes earning a GED, studying Homeland Security, and shifting to trucking to better support his family. Over the years, he gained diverse experience across various trucking functions, from dry van to flatbed. Concerned about the lack of formal training in flatbed trucking, he founded the Flatbed Safety & Securement Group (FSSG), which now has over 8,700 members. His commitment to safety, excellence, and continuous learning drives his efforts to improve industry standards and support fellow drivers.
