From trucking to safety-focused consulting.
Peter began in trucking through a family tradition and built his experience from the ground up: driving over the road, operating heavy-haul combinations, working in shops and in the field, repairing commercial vehicles and heavy equipment, supporting fleet operations, handling recovery work, and building AFS LLC.
Over the years, he watched the industry change. Trucks became more electronically controlled and technically complex. Diagnostic technology, emissions systems, documentation, and compliance requirements expanded. At the same time, production pressure, cost decisions, maintenance culture, and communication between drivers, shops, and management continued to influence whether defects were corrected early or allowed to become larger safety problems.
AFS is transitioning that broad experience into consulting so it can be used earlier and more widely—to help attorneys understand technical evidence, help fleets recognize risk, help decision-makers separate sound repairs from shortcuts, and support safer commercial-vehicle practices.
Truth before advocacyConclusions follow the evidence, not the preferred outcome of the retaining party.
IndependenceThe technical analysis should remain the same regardless of who requests it.
TransparencyObservations, reported facts, assumptions, opinions, sources, and limitations are identified clearly.
Safety over convenienceCommercial pressure, schedule, or cost should never replace sound mechanical judgment.
