OTA Dispatch Issue 2 2018

29 www.ortrucking.org Issue 2 | 2018 “Business in Oregon is having to deal with regulations at an alarming rate. The trucking industry is no different—in fact, in addition to state regulation, the federal mandates have been onerous to work through. The time alone learning about new regulations from Hours of Service to ELD mandates have been costly. Having Oregon Trucking Association available to answer any and all questions is a time saver and a cost saver. As a small business, it is impossible to know the answers to all of the questions, and OTA is the go-to for advice.” – Shelly Boshart Boshart Trucking How can OTA help your business?
