New training classes scheduled

MTAC is pleased to announce that several new training seminars have been scheduled for 2017. All of the following classes will be taught by MTAC’s safety and compliance consultant, Mike Glinski. Register for any of the classes on the MTAC website.

Driver Qualification Seminar – March 14, 2017

Are your drivers properly qualified? If (when) USDOT arrives at your business, are your driver qualification (DQ) files in order? Which drivers need a DQ file? What is the difference in the files for a CDL vs a Non-CDL driver? To comply with the new medical certificate process, what do I need in my DQ file? What are some of the pitfalls encountered when that DOT audit occurs? How long do I need to keep DQ records? After my driver files are set up, what do I need to do annually to maintain them?

These are some of the questions that will be answered during this two-hour Driver Qualification seminar. Don’t leave your company open to violations that can be easily avoided!

Complying with the FMCSA – April 18, 2017

This two-hour session is designed to help you in your compliance efforts in regards to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. We will examine some of the common causes of violations during an investigation/audit.

Are you prepared for that “knock on the door” with the FMCSA investigator? Being prepared and having an idea of the process as well as what will be checked will result in better outcomes. It is much easier to comply than it is to pay fines, have your safety status downgraded, or in the extreme case, receive a shutdown order. Be proactive in your compliance efforts by attending this class.

Hours of Service – May 9, 2017

Do you understand the hours of service regulation? When is a log book required? What are the requirements to claim the 100/150 air mile exemption? What records must I keep? These are some of the questions that will be discussed in this two-hour session on hours of service.

Before the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) rules apply in December of 2017, you must understand the basic requirements in order to determine exactly what must be done. Join us in the training opportunity to keep your company in compliance with federal regulations.

Attend this class to help avoid fines and drivers being put out of service.
