J. J. Keller & Associates Inc. and the National Private Truck Council have scheduled a fleet driver management Webinar for Dec. 1, 2004, from 1-2 p.m. Central Time.

The Webinar, entitled “Mitigating Fleet Driver Risk+ Seven Common Mistakes to Avoid in Driver Hiring and Management,” will help motor-carrier professionals understand how technology and changing regulations impact their driver management responsibilities and, ultimately, their operation. The presentation will be online in an interactive format.
The Webinar will be moderated by NPTC president and CEO Gary Petty and presented by transportation-industry veterans from Keller and NPTC. It will begin with an informal presentation, followed by a Q&A session. Participants will be able to ask questions, just as at a live seminar.
The presentation will include an overview of the new Safety Performance History of New Drivers Regulation. Participants will learn what their responsibilities and requirements are under the new regulation, and how the regulation impacts public liability and exposure.
The Webinar will cover the importance of a standardized process for hiring drivers and managing driver requirements; avoiding exposure to risk and liability; and avoiding the most common mistakes related to hiring and managing drivers.
Registration for Keller’s Webinar is free, but the number of participants will be limited. Registrants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Register by visiting www.jjkeller.com/nptcwebinar.
