Live Q&A on FMLA: Get Your Questions Answered!
The FMLA has always been complex and confusing. More often than not, an FMLA administrator does not want to spend precious time pouring over regulations in an attempt to find an answer to a particular situation.

If you have FMLA questions, this webcast is for you! We will cover the basics of the provisions, but most of the time will be devoted to answering attendee questions.

Safety Measurement System (SMS): How the FMCSA keeps score
The FMCSA keeps score. At any moment, for any carrier, the agency knows every violation a carrier has received and every reported crash for the last two years. They not only know the numbers, but they also know whether a carrier’s CSA scores are improving or worsening. The administration tracks and trends your data over a 6-month period, over 6 quarters, and over a two-year period.
You can make their data actionable to improve your CSA scores, your risk profile, and your insurance rates.
In this webcast, we will discuss:
• How carriers are selected for roadside inspections,
• Provide an overview of the CSA program,
• Walk through the data that is publicly available,
• Demonstrate interactive tools readily available to every carrier, and
• Help pinpoint what compliance areas to focus on first.
This event will also include a live Q&A session. Register Now!
