April and May 2015

Another two months go by (April & May) and I can't get my "Monthly" newsletter out!  Man, what's wrong with me?  Maybe it's because I've been so busy with Onsite Training and Consulting work that I haven't had time to sit down and put one together.  Well, that's a lame excuse and one I don't intend to repeat.  From now on I'm keeping this newsletter monthly, even if it is a little light on content.

What's on That Truck?

Cargo Tank Motor Vehicle with ID Number 2218

First published August 9, 2011 (2011!).  This issue comes up in almost every training session I provide.  Question:  Is each comma, period, or dash of the shipping description required by regulation? Learn the answer here.

Sometimes a Power Point presentation is better than an article for summarizing complex regulations.  Take a look at mine on SlideShare.

YouTube allows me to provide audio and live animation to my presentations.  I hope to use it more.
