Doug Tracy is the founder of CIS Services, LLC, a firm specializing in safety best practices for commercial vehicles operating out on the highway. Doug is a recently retired inspector with the California Highway Patrol with 35 years of experience, 4 of those years include DOT new entrant inspections. He grew up in Oregon with his dad driving a truck for Budweiser. For his allowance, he would help his dad maintain his tractor. Doug also drove a truck for two years after high school, and in 1981 he was pulled in for inspection at the Castaic scales near Magic Mountain. Doug opened up a conversation with the guys working at the scales, and they suggested that he apply for a job at the California Highway Patrol as an inspector. He was hired shortly thereafter, and after eight years, he was promoted to an inspections specialist. Doug has testified as an expert witness many times over the course of his career. Now that he has officially retired from the California Highway Patrol, he started his own company helping trucking companies throughout Southern California develop and improve their safety programs.
