ISP Seminar Loaded With Tips For Truck Drivers
A free, one day seminar sponsored by members of the Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division will be giving truck drivers a jump on the competition next month.
According to a release from Indiana State Police Sgt. Noel Houze, the free commercial driver seminar will be for: Those who own or drive a truck for a small trucking company; those self-employed as a construction worker and drive a vehicle with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating more than 26,000 pounds; those with or without a commercial driver’s license (CDL); those who operate a vehicle or a combination vehicle whose gross weight exceeds 10,000 pounds; those looking for a D.O.T. number; and those making sure they have all of the permits required to comply with state and federal regulations.
The seminar will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at the Indiana State Police Post at the intersection of U.S. 421 and State Road 129 in Versailles.
Although anyone can attend this training, the seminar is primarily for owners of small trucking companies, owner operators or individuals owning their own business who operate smaller trucks and trailers as part of that business. With so many state and federal requirements, many individuals with small companies and personal businesses in which trucks are used as part of the business are unknowingly operating in violation of state and federal laws, according to the release.
Only 15 people can be accommodated at this seminar so registration is required. Persons interested in attending the free seminar should call 812-656-8168 or 656-8004 on Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. to register.
