Oakville, On: The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, in continuing their commitment to offer more educational seminars, has announced its next Seminar series event, to be held from 9am to noon on January 13th, 2016, in Toronto, On.
This seminar will cover some very important topics. We will have a senior staff member from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) on site to discuss the CVOR program in Ontario and how it is used to monitor the on Road Safety performance of a Fleet and its drivers, how it intervenes when problems are uncovered, and the sanctions that are put in place when necessary. The MTO will also discuss, when used properly, how it can also be used by the fleet itself to monitor and rectify problems with in its fleet, prior to the MTO becoming involved. PMTC President Mike Millian says” When a Fleet properly uses its CVOR to regularly monitor its fleet, it is able spot trends and use this as a proactive way to intervene, train staff and correct issues before they become a major problem”. As part of the CVOR presentation, the staff will also discuss the Audit program that can occur as a result of on road behaviour(s).
The MTO will also discuss the recently adopted NSC Standard 11b, (HTA regulation 611 in Ontario) and what companies, mechanics are required to do to ensure they comply with the new Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection. An open question and answer period will follow, where those in attendance can ask any question they have for MTO staff. If you have a delicate question you would like to ask, but do not want to identify your name or company, you can also forward questions to the PMTC office ahead of time, and we will pose the questions anonymously at the seminar. To do this, simply email trucks@pmtc.ca.
We will also have AFIMAC Global present a seminar on the topic of Cargo Security. AFIMAC will discuss the growing problem of cargo theft. The National Cargo Security Council estimate’s the annual global financial impact to exceed $50 billion. AFIMAC, a PMTC member, will provide valuable tips for protecting people, property and brand at the head office, in the yard, or during transit. Learn what security measures your company should be considering when transporting Cargo from point A to B.
The cost for the seminar is only $25.00 for a PMTC member, and $100.00 for a non member.
