The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association will host its annual Specialized Transportation Symposium March 11-13, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque.
Expected to attend are specialized carriers, pilot car operators, state and federal government officials, researchers, manufacturers and suppliers.
The symposium will include a candid appraisal by state transportation officials concerning overdimensional transport's critical issues, such as updates on the permit process, recent steps toward greater uniformity, and infrastructure constraints versus cargo movement demands. Panelists invited are Richard Clasby, Utah; Tommy Thames, Mississippi; Joe Lee-Civalier, New York; and Michelle Teel, Missouri.
Other featured speakers will include safety experts, as well as officials from the Federal Highway Administration, the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials, and the Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay Transport Partnership.
James Lloyd, a motivational speaker, will examine the three burning questions that everyone asks themselves at life's end. He will explain why the secret to happiness and productivity is to begin answering them now.
Other sessions will cover such topics as:
• Transportation Contracts/Bills of Lading
• Highway Reauthorization 2009
• Meeting Reusable Energy Demands through Partnerships of Shippers, Carriers and State Officials
An exhibit center will be open for two days featuring companies that supply products and services to specialized carriers. On March 10, meetings of the Pilot Car Task Force and of regional associations of state highway and transportation officials will take place. Before the symposium's opening session on March 11, the regional associations of state officials will reconvene while SC&RA holds special sessions of its Truck Permit Policy Committee and Transportation Group Safety Committee.
