Seminar
Wednesday, September 23, 2020
11 AM – 3:00 PM PDT

 

The Harmonie's Group 2020 Virtual Transportation Seminar will be discussing a wide variety of COVID related topics and more.  See below for the schedule and presenters. Raymond will be speaking at 1:10pm PDT on the Reopening Guidelines For Employers in COVID Epidemic. 

While the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and its state partners have effectively cleared the way for trucking companies and commercial drivers to continue to deliver critical goods and supplies during the pandemic, the uncertainty and fluid nature of the health crisis has made it essential for transportation industry members to rethink their operations and reopen components of their businesses in a safe and legal manner. Motor carriers and all of their employees face an ever-changing landscape and multiple impediments to operations as states vacillate on shelter in place and related local orders. And while uncertainties will continue to exist, one thing that is certain is that trucking will play a vital role in recovery of segments of the economy impacted by the pandemic.
