OTA Dispatch Issue 4 2018

15 www.ortrucking.org Issue 4 | 2018 Trucking Industry Mixer Heathman Lodge | Vancouver, WA October 10, 2018 AFTER THE SECURITY SUMMIT, attendees were encouraged to stay to network with other trucking industry folks in the area during the cocktail reception and dinner. Members also heard from FMCSA representative, David Rios, who provided a brief regulatory update on proposed legislation for split sleeper berth, 30 minute rest break, and 100- mile radius and twelve hour rule. Special thank you to our sponsors! Pendleton Symposium Wildhorse Casino | Pendleton, OR For the first time in recent years, OTA offered a full day, well-rounded, trucking industry event in Eastern Oregon. The training covered all aspects of business from employee wellness to distracted driving to accident investigation, marijuana policy, and a preview of the 2019 legislative session. Representatives from ODOT and FMCSA provided a regulatory update and helped answer attendee questions during a Q & A session. The event was a great way to get to know other members in the area, and even local media made a guest appearance at one of the training sessions! Plans are underway for a similar event next year, so watch our event calendar.
