CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
As a result of the meeting that occurred during the California Trucking Association (CTA) Northern Safety Council meeting held on March 21st, the CTA has partnered with the DMV and is running a Self Certification Pilot Program. This Pilot Program which runs until Monday, May 8 will allow CTA members to submit documentation, allowing employers to have corrections made to a company driver's DMV record, which may have been submitted incorrectly previously.
Earlier this week in Long Beach CA, Eric Sauer (Senior Vice President Government Affairs) met with representatives from the Italian transportation trade group Associazone Nazionale Imprese Transporti Automobilistici (ANITA) during their visit to the United States.
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) 30th annual International Roadcheck will take place June 6-8, 2017. Over a 72-hour period, CVSA-certified commercial motor vehicle inspectors in jurisdictions throughout North America will conduct inspections of commercial motor vehicles and their drivers.

Upcoming Events
  
Webinar this Thursday May 4 from 10-11am PST. Incorporating the ELD Mandate into fleet operations presents an opportunity to thoughtfully consider and engage a change management undertaking to transform the way in which "safety" is defined and administered in a fleet. Making safety a part of your company culture where everyone is messaging in the same direction can not only be a challenge, but is often overlooked as many other parts of the business can be looked at as being more important.
Potential changes to the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Program (HDVIP) and the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) may affect you. The HDVIP is a roadside inspection program applicable to all heavy-duty vehicles operating in California. The complementary PSIP is an inspection program applicable to California-based fleets of two or more heavy-duty diesel vehicles.
Member Alerts
  
I have been involved with the CTA in some way, shape, or form since the 90's; and, primarily as a volunteer. No doubt, the company I work for (Accutrac Capital) is a member for reasons we all are); as such, my goal is to form and foster business relationships. However, volunteering to set up, take down, organize, and be a part of events has afforded me the opportunity to meet some pretty awesome folks in the trucking industry. For a little bit of my time, volunteering at CTA events has made my membership well worth it.
SACRAMENTO, Apr. 25, 2017 - The California Trucking Association (CTA) is proud to announce PEOPLEASE & PLC Services has joined the association's endorsed workers' compensation programs managed by AccuSure.
