OTA Dispatch Issue 1 2020

Oregon Trucking Associations, Inc. 30 Oregon Truck Dispatch NEWS New Non-DOT Consortium and Clearinghouse Services Now Available We’ve added new services as part of the OTA Drug & Alcohol Consortium available exclusively to members. With the new Clearinghouse rules, many trucking industry companies may find it difficult to manage their program alone. That’s where we can help! And, per request by some of our members that have non-DOT employees (such as our movers), we now have services for that group. For the application and pricing, please contact info@ortrucking.org .
