Live Webinar Training

We have been working hard in putting together quality informative training on the regulations concerning compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules and regulations. Our Webinars are Live On-Line Interactive training sessions. We are using Go-To-Webinar to host these events. Attendees can use their telephones to call in or use their PC with a sound card, for listening and a Microphone for asking questions. They also have the option to listen and type in questions in our Q&A box making this a very flexible way to communicate.

Our First Webinar was given on October 21, 2009 on Driver Qualifications - Driver Qualification Files - Forms needed - Maintaining the Files.

The second in the series of our 2-Hour Webinars covered Driver Hours of Service - Log Preparation and Auditing functions that should be done on the logs.

Our attempt is to provide short but comprehensice, convenient, cost effective training and re-training on subjects that effect Motor Carriers and Drivers. We strongly feel we are doing this and the feedback we are receiving confirms this, some of the comments have been:

"I'm always calling Mike to ask questions. Having visual of what he has been trying to teach me seamed to be more helpful" Veronica Hinguanzo, Charity Shoes and Clothing.

"Information was good. I did learn a few things that I did not know....." Jeanette McDaniel Schultz Bros. Trucking

"It was very informative and a good refresher course on things we need to have in our files and what information we need to get from the driver." Gary Meyer Safety Department Schultz Bros. Trucking

All in all, it was a good webinar, primarily because it was easy to understand and that you knew what you were talking about and you helped to influence us on your experience and ideas." Paul Gregory, Transportation Manager Tri Dal, LTD.

With CSA 2010 coming in the near future and with on-going revisions it will be critical for Motor Carriers to stay on top of what is transpiring and the Webinar approach can adapt to and be responsive to those demands. We are developing a Webinar for CSA 2010 and will give our first presentation on November 18, 2009 at 2 PM CDT.

We also have planned repeat Webinars on these subjects, all will be live and each one will be different due to changes in regulations, new events and discussions from the Attendees.
