NPTC is devoted exclusively to the interests of the private corporate trucking fleet industry. Lisk serves as Lytx’s chief safety and training liaison for the company’s more than 1,300 clients.
Lisk earned his Certified Transportation Professional (CTP) credential from NPTC in 2013.
“NPTC represents a cross-section of American manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and public service organizations ranging in size from family-owned small businesses and town utility fleets, to Fortune 500 global conglomerates,” said Gary Petty, president and CEO of the National Private Truck Council. “We are honored to have someone like Del serve on the Board of Governors and we look forward to the insights he will provide with his impressive background and expertise in driver training and safety.”
The Board of Governors oversees the education, driver training and certification services of NPTC, including policy advisement and financial fundraising. Driver training and certification are offered through the NPTC’s educational subsidiary, the NPTC Institute, which is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) educational and charitable corporation.
“Del is an excellent fit to serve on the National Private Truck Council’s Board of Governors to provide insight on driver safety education and advise training policies,” said Brandon Nixon, Lytx chairman and CEO. “With more than 30 years of experience in professional driver training and education, he has reviewed data and video from thousands of driving events and analyzed myriad traffic collisions to help our clients achieve significant cost savings and a dramatic increase in safety.”
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
