TRUCKING THROUGH POLITICS: GREENER Grassroots Political Action and Trucking Political Issues Panel Changes both nationally and statewide have brought a bevy of political issues that could impact the trucking industry. Our elected officials need to hear the thoughts and concerns of the industry and our grassroots seminar will help you learn how to make your voice heard. Then follow up with a primer on the issues (highway reauthorization, EFCA, sustainability, etc) AND BEYOND: LEANER & KEENER The Economy, Legal Changes and New Business Strategies Everyone is doing more with less and working smarter to achieve results. We will take a look at issues the industry is confronting and what the future may hold for the economy, laws and regulatory issues and strategies for your business. ENTERTAINMENT Craig Karges combines the art of magic with the science of psychology and the power of intuition to create the impression that nothing is impossible. Tables float, minds are read, metal bends and your imagination is challenged because you won t believe your eyes!
