OTA Dispatch Issue 2 2019

24 Oregon Trucking Associations, Inc. Oregon Truck Dispatch SMC Update OTA members attended SMC meetings across the state this past May. EROAD brought a guest speaker to discuss the final phase of transition from AOBRD and ELDs. Please remember the deadline for switching from AOBRDs to ELDs by December 16, 2019. Representatives from SAIF also compared the difference between safety committees, safety meetings, and safety talks in relation to OSHA regulatory requirements. They provided tips on improving each and making them more productive instead of just creating time fillers. Watch our calendar for upcoming SMC meeting dates. The SMC elected new board members at the Annual Spring Safety Conference. Thank you to all previous board members for their contributions to the council, and welcome new members!
