About the Webinar:
The transportation industry is showing consistent changes through both legal and technological advances. This panel discussion will highlight some trending topics for which businesses and firms should not only know of but become more knowledgeable about to continue growth and adaption within the industry. This panel will discuss numerous changes presented through those advances in technology including rapid response in the automated world and specific devices taking over the industry, along with the preservation of all things technology. Among other things, the panel will address hotbed transportation issues such as independent contractors vs. employee drivers, dealing with law enforcement, and the best practices in claims documentation.
