TESTIMONIAL FROM CLASS PARTICIPANT “A couple of months ago I was given the task of processing registrations and obtaining permits for Terrain Tamers. I had some basic knowledge of the process, but wanted to really be certain that we had all of our information correct. Attending the Carrier Education class was a tremendous help in getting all of my questions answered, not only about the process but the how and why behind it. Gregg presented the information in a way that made it easy to understand and provided plenty of resources and tools for us to utilize. After going through the program, I was reassured that we are meeting the regulation requirements and was able to write some standard operating procedures for our company that outlined what is required and how to proceed through the registration and permitting process. Attending Carrier Education was a great investment for our company, and I would recommend others to take advantage of the educational opportunities the OTA offers.” -Amanda Pratt, Recruiter, Terrain Tamers Chip Hauling, Inc.
