Due to the popular demand after holding two sold-out seminars in Indianapolis and Cincinnati earlier this year, Driving Ambition is proud to be hosting and sponsoring two additional CSA 2010 / FMCSA Seminars featuring former FMCSA Administrator John Hill:
Thursday, July 15, 2010 - Nashville, TN (in conjunction with the Tennessee Trucking Association)
Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - Indianapolis, IN (in conjunction with the Indiana Motor Truck Association)
These seminars are designed to educate motor carriers on the broad implications that CSA 2010, as well as many other FMCSA initiatives will bring. For more information on the upcoming seminars, and for testimonials from previously held seminars, click here.
If there is one seminar you attend all year, this is it!
The FMCSA is hosting a free webcast on its new Pre-employment Screening Program (PSP). The presentation is scheduled for 60 minutes beginning at 1:00pm EST on February 24, 2010.
PSP is a new, national-level program designed to allow motor carriers to see a driver's crash and inspection file when he/she applies for employment with the motor carrier. The program is voluntary and the driver must give consent to allow his or her records to be viewed by their potential employer. The driver record will be comprised of data found in FMCSA's Motor Carrier Information Management System (MCMIS). FMCSA is taking every possible measure to assure the data is protected and handled according to all applicable laws and regulations.
During the webcast, the Analysis Division's Michael Johnsen will provide an update of the PSP, which is currently under development and expected to be available to the public in early 2010.
