Rules of the Road Trucking Seminars Set
Illinois Farm Bureau will host a series of two-hour programs focusing on transportation laws and regulations as they pertain to the agricultural industry and local Farm Bureaus throughout the state will hold sessions in February and March. (see ad in paper).
The Rules for the Road seminars are open to all Illinois Farm Bureau members. Attendance is free, courtesy of Will County Farm Bureau and Illinois Farm Bureau, but advance registration is required. Please call Will County Farm Bureau for more information at 815-727-4811.
The Rules for the Road Seminar will cover recent changes, as well as some of the more established but still misunderstood rules. Topics will include the USDOT Number, UCR registration, Entry Level Driver Training, and driver’s license classifications, to name a few. In addition, one of the events will also be broadcast virtually on March 1st at 6 pm.
“These presentations take a closer look at the rules and provide an opportunity for farmers to ask ag-related trucking questions that they can’t seem to find clear answers for,” said Rodney Knittel, IFB Assistant Director of Transportation and Infrastructure. Knittel specializes in farm transportation issues and will lead the seminar series, and will be joined by Illinois enforcement agencies.
