Rules of the Road Trucking Seminar Feb. 28
Illinois Farm Bureau will host a series of two-hour programs focusing on transportation laws and regulations as they pertain to the agricultural industry. Will County Farm Bureau will host one of the sessions on February 28 at 6 p.m. at the Will County Farm Bureau, 100 Manhattan Road, Joliet.
The Rules for the Road Seminar will cover recent changes, as well as some of the more established but still misunderstood rules. Topics may include the USDOT Number, UCR registration, Entry Level Driver Training, farm exemptions, and driver’s license classifications to name a few. In addition, one of the events will also be broadcast virtually on March 5 at 10 a.m.
“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 Associate 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.
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 by February 22.
Please call Will County Farm Bureau at 815-727-4811 to reserve your place at the Rules for the Road Seminar.
