William C. Rogers, director of human factors research for American Trucking Associations, will join the Motor Freight Carriers Association as vice president of safety, training and technology.

MFCA President Timothy P. Lynch said Rogers will start after Jan. 1.

The vacancy was created when Steve Campbell, a former ATA safety specialist, left MFCA earlier this year to head up the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, an organization representing safety inspectors in North America.

Lynch said Rogers “expressed a desire to do something different” in taking the job, where he will help write comments and develop policy positions. Rogers will also work with Trucking Management Inc., a division of MFCA, and the Teamsters union on safety and health issues.
