You may notice that this month's newsletter is a little low on content, or at least less compared with what you're used to seeing from me. That's due in part to the Holidays and a busy schedule, but mostly it's because I'm am trying to dedicate my time to developing a new platform for my training services: a Learning Management System (LMS); also known as computer-based training. Stay tuned. I hope to have training content available in the new year. Till then, enjoy this month's newsletter, enjoy your Holidays, and contact me with any questions about the transportation of hazardous materials (domestic or international) or the management of hazardous waste.
