Outreach, education in Memphis
I had the good fortune of meeting Niki
Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday at the Agricenter International there treat yourself to a truck beauty show (potential entrants, preregister here), various industry exhibitors and another rare opportunity to connect and exchange knowledge and ideas with other drivers and industry participants on standards, regulations and compliance.
Leading a series of seminars will be Timothy Brady, a gent you’ll well know if you’ve ever put an ear to the Lockridge Report on Sirius XM. A round-up of the seminar program follows:
**10:45-11:15 a.m.: Ed Johnson and Greg Dotson from the Tennessee DOT on the Memphis regional Intelligent Transportation System
**11:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m.: Priority Sleep Diagnostics Facility Manager Carl Malone on the dangers of sleep apnea
**2:15-2:45 p.m.: Ronald Meredith of the Financial Center on insurance issues in trucking
**1-1:30 p.m.: FMCSA rep John Dierberger updating CSA and other regulatory issues
