COURSE DESCRIPTION

The business environment for transportation companies [and any companies that employ commercial drivers] grows increasingly more complex each day. As regulations from the DOT, EEOC and EPA mount, companies are scrambling to keep up -- all while they're trying to tighten their belts and beat the economic dip. 

Also, recent appellate case law and a very aggressive plaintiffs trial bar have expanded the scope of liability risks facing logistics companies.  This seminar will address better risk management practices so you can stay out of the courtroom altogether!

This HNI U seminar will identify the legal landmines your company should steer clear of and offer suggested risk management solutions to defend against the new challenges facing the industry.

We'll discuss contract exposures, HR/EEOC, CSA compliance, 3PL and shipper liabilities, and independent operator status.  As many companies are addressing individual issues and risks, time will be allotted for Q&A and a roundtable discussion of the audience's concerns.
