The ELD mandate has arguably caused the most impactful shift in commercial transportation operations since deregulation affecting over 3.5 million drivers and their respective carriers. A huge surprise was the enforcement variances during roadside inspections. Both the FMCSA and the CVSA provided recent updates to their respective “frequently asked questions” and “Inspection Bulletins” concerning electronic logging enforcement. During this 30 minute webcast, we will examine the top electronic logging violations at roadside inspections and the main differences between ELDs and AOBRDs. These topics will form the foundation in correcting your roadside inspection data through the “5 Ws of the DataQ Process”: •What is a DataQ? •Who can file a DataQ? •Where are DataQs created? •Why should a DataQ be created? And •When is a DataQs created?

It seems like a fairly straightforward issue. Interstate transportation involves a vehicle crossing borders and operating in two or more jurisdictions; if a truck never leaves a state, it must be performing intrastate motor carriage. Surprisingly, this is not always true. The FMCSA provides a definition of interstate transportation and it encompasses more than just if a truck or driver ever leave a state - the intent at the time of shipment is key. During this webcast, you'll learn: •The FMCSA’s definition of interstate transportation; •The factors that can either blur or clarify the lines between intrastate and interstate travel; •What compliance rules apply; and •The impact on fleet legalization. We'll also leave time for a Q&A session with our DOT experts!

Forklifts and other powered industrial trucks (PITs) have seen a renewed focus recently with the observance of National Forklift Safety Day, a revised ANSI lift truck industry standard, and a regulatory agenda item to revise the OSHA standard. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, there are nearly 543,000 industrial truck operators in the current workforce. From 2011 to 2015 there were an average of 75 PIT-related fatalities per year, and over 54,000 injuries that involved cases with days away from work. Further, from Jan. 1, 2015, through Feb. 28, 2017, employers made over 800 serious injury reports to Federal OSHA about cases where a forklift or other PIT was involved in a worker amputation, hospitalization, loss of eye, or fatality incident. Join us as we answer some of the tough questions regarding forklift safety and compliance. We’ll cover: The scope of OSHA’s PIT standard •Training – who, when, what and by whom •Inspections •Maintenance •Attachments/modifications •Operational issues •Mancages/personnel platforms •And much more!

And if you've made a mistake, you're not alone!

A driver’s basic job is to get from origin to destination without loss, damage, or delay. This means knowing where you are going, counting and securing your cargo (or actually loading it in certain situations), inspecting your vehicle when required to make sure it keeps running and is safe, driving safely, complying with the applicable regulations, and delivering your cargo on time and in good condition, and completing the necessary paperwork along the way. To be able to accomplish all of these tasks safely and efficiently, drivers must be trained by their carriers. How and when you conduct that training is up to you. In this webcast, we will look at what a driver training program should include, how the training should be delivered, and establishing a training schedule.
