Fall Transportation Conference

Trucking in Louisiana

LSU Cook Conference Center * Baton Rouge

November 2-3, 2011

The annual LMTA Fall Transportation Conference “Trucking in Louisiana” will be held on November 2-3, 2011 at the LSU Cook Conference Center & Hotel in Baton Rouge.

As in the past, we have invited a representative of every state and federal agency that impacts truck operations to give you an update on current issues and events related to their office.

Special Presentations

Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) Seminar. Jim Angel, Safety Security and Compliance Product Manager with PeopleNet, will cover the basics of CSA – What it can mean to your company and how to interpret the data to improve your operations.
FMCSA Pre-Employment Screening (PSP) – Elizabeth Pemmerl will discuss this FMCSA program that offers carriers and driver’s access to MCMIS driver records and how carriers are using these records as part of the pre-employment review process.
CSA Motor Carrier Panel. Dufour Petroleum, Plains Marketing and Tango Transport will discuss how their companies are addressing the CSA program.
Vehicle Renewals & IRP. The OMV’s failure to send out renewal notices resulted in nearly $110,000 in late fees collected by the state. The late fees ranged from $3 to over $28. OMV is now sending refunds to those affected. There have also been a few problems associated with the privatization of the IRP, the HVUT Form 2290, etc. Here is your opportunity to ask questions and hopefully address any unresolved issues.
