Rules for the Road Seminars planned
Illinois Farm Bureau will host a series of two-hour programs focusing on transportation laws and regulations as they pertain to the agricultural industry.
Knox County Farm Bureau will host one of the sessions on March 15th at 6 pm at their office, 180 S Soangetaha Rd, Galesburg. A virtual option will be offered March 1st at 6 pm. Registration is required for both.
The Rules for the Road Seminar will cover recent changes, as well as some of the more established but still misunderstood rules. Topics will include the USDOT Number, UCR registration, Entry Level Driver Training, and driver’s license classifications, to name a few. In addition, one of the events will also be broadcast virtually on March 1st at 6 pm. “These presentations take a closer look at the rules and provide an opportunity for farmers to ask ag-related trucking questions that they can’t seem to find clear answers for,” said Rodney Knittel, IFB Assistant Director of Transportation and Infrastructure. Knittel specializes in farm transportation issues and will lead the seminar series and will be joined by Illinois enforcement agencies.
Rules for the Road seminars are open to all Illinois Farm Bureau members. Attendance is free, but advance registration is required. Refreshments will be served.
