OTA Dispatch Issue 2 2019

14 Oregon Trucking Associations, Inc. Oregon Truck Dispatch EVENTS TMC Maintenance Fair HOLIDAY INN | WILSONVILLE, OR | MARCH 29, 2019 I n March, we held two events in Wilsonville, OR geared at the maintenance side of trucking, and the first was the Annual Maintenance Fair. Members got a chance to learn about topics pertinent to their roles during separate educational tracks for technicians and managers. Presentations on electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR), active safety systems, liability, partnerships with fleets and dealerships, modern J-1939 CAN operation and diagnostics ran throughout the day. Plus, we held a vendor fair during lunch so attendees could learn about the products and services that are available to them through our allied members. In conjunction with the event, we invited participants of OTA’s inaugural NW Fleet Maintenance Certification Program to a graduation breakfast earlier that morning and presented their graduation awards at the fair. Congratulations to everyone that completed the class!  2019 NW Fleet Maintenance Certification Program Graduates!
