Emergency Road Service Coalition Of America

From the Director’s Desk: A look back and look forward …

As I sit here and look back on the last training year, I am incredibly humbled, honored, and grateful.

Humbled to have such an opportunity to support this incredible industry that serves the motoring public.

Honored to be supported by each one of the great “Hosts” and moreover all the operators both, veteran and new, instill their confidence in the training ERSCA Trainers provide to enhance their professional skills.

Grateful for the business leaders that sit on the board and committees that keep the foundation under our feet and the focus on the future to further the safety of and advocacy for some of the greatest professionals on the planet.

These 3 elements of living: humility, honor, and gratitude are what I believe to be key in keeping the proper focus and the efforts fueled by the passion of this industry to serve. We see that in all our supporters, from equipment manufacturers to distributors, rigging companies, to OEM’s… it’s there. It’s the passion to provide the best possible product or service to help in making the industry safer and getting our operators home at the end of the shift.

As we finish 2023, we look back to see all this hard work, and effort, yet as we look forward, realize there is still a lot to be done. We need more advanced warning efforts, more core training for incoming talent, more efforts to spread the knowledge and information that helps keep the roads open, the citizens safe, and the operators going home.

So, during this holiday season, we will take those seemingly brief holiday moments to remember and honor those not with us and be grateful for who and what we have. We must be humbled enough to know that we are a select industry that regardless of time or condition, we still get to live a profession of service in which impacts are almost immeasurable.

On behalf of everyone at ERSCA and myself, we extend our most sincere holiday wishes to you and your families this holiday season.

Peaceful Holiday Wishes,

Shane Coleman National Director of Training
