Truckload Carriers Association, in Partnership with the Motor Carrier Insurance Education Foundation, Launches Latest Online Certification Program

November 6, 2017 By admin

Truckload Academy’s New Motor Carrier Insurance Risk Management Program educates truckload carriers on improving insurance performance while offering professional designation.

 

Alexandria, VA – The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), in conjunction with the Motor Carrier Insurance Education Foundation (MCIEF), is proud to announce the release of a new certification program dedicated to strengthening operations—the Motor Carrier Insurance Risk Management Program (MCIRMP). This eight-part online course empowers participants to make better insurance purchasing decisions, and instructs on how to improve their practices to see measurable results. The participant will earn the designation of Certified Motor Carrier Risk Specialist upon completion of the lessons and examination.

“By making the commitment to be more knowledgeable purchasers of insurance for their motor carriers, professionals are not only showing their dedication to their own career development, but to the success and profitability of their companies,” said Ron Goode, M. Ed., TCA’s director of education. “Truckload Academy is proud to be the source of such continuing education and professional certification for the trucking industry through the Motor Carrier Insurance Risk Management Program.”

The new offering is divided into modules covering a wide variety of topics; including, the types of coverage needed, key strategies for obtaining a sound insurance program that is a valuable asset for the motor carrier, and the considerations that go into how coverage is provided. In addition, participants learn steps to take to become a better insured, and how to best be prepared for critical situations with potential major financial implications.

“How important is insurance to your trucking company?” asked M. Thomas Ruke, Jr., CIC, CPIA, CWIS, TRS, president of Insurance Business Consultants, Inc. and founder of MCIEF. “It becomes very important when you have to rely on the promise of protection in your insurance policies. Then the promise in the policy might be the most important promise made to your company.” 

The Motor Carrier Insurance Risk Management Program features interactive modules, with key words and phrases linked to additional information about the topic, and quizzes to help serve as checkpoints for understanding. The MCIRMP is the second certification program from Truckload Academy with the Certified Fleet Manager Program also offering credentialing opportunities. Both programs are available at a discount for TCA members, and can be purchased from TCA’s online learning platform, the Truckload Academy On-demand (TAO). Once purchased, participants have unrestricted access for one year, and receive a certificate suitable for framing upon completion of the preparatory course and exam.

Make Your Halloween Safe From Food Allergies

October 27, 2017 By admin

Halloween should be about witches and ghosts and having fun, not harmful ingredients sometimes found in candy.  Awareness is key when it comes to protecting our children from harm and candy consumption. One big item often overlooked is managing food allergies. We always think about harm in form of the candy being tampered with.  Reality is, the ingredients can be life threatening.   With proper planning, your family can safely enjoy Halloween.

Begin researching organic candies and treats. Recent advances in food processing have generated healthier alternatives that taste great. Know your child’s allergies and be mindful that the next goblin knocking on your door may have a food allergy.

Always read product labels to make sure treats are safe for your family. Some candies can be repackaged with others that may contain allergens. Know label reading “tricks” to make sure your “treats” are safe.

Since we are talking about Halloween safety, while we may want to make it look scary as our little goblins approach a home for their treat, they are wearing masks and other items which may inhibit their ability to see everything in their path and to walk steadily. Always keep walk ways clear and well-lit.

The Doggy Blog

April 25, 2016 By admin

Well, as my team and I wrap up another great season of racing and just having fun hanging together. I have many people to thank before we ride off into the season’s sunset. I have to thank Dale and Dan for doing a great job holding the fort down while I was traveling this past winter. I need to thank my handler, and good friend, Lori Stauffer for helping me with all that is evolved with racing a dog team, from training to travel arrangements. I hope you come back next year. She now has to go back and make amends with her family that she deserted back in October. I want to thank my friend Steve Fox for all his help, including letting me use four of his dogs this racing season. I hope your back next year training with me because it was not lonely out there on the trails when I knew you were somewhere on them close by. I also need to Thank Desha Utsick for taking photos during the season and last but not least Stacey Materna for sharing her daughter, ten year old, Darian Hewitt so I could train her to run her first ever dogsled race. It was a blast. I also must thank Progressive Insurance Company for signing on as a sponsor of the team, “Thank you!”

Ok, here is the run down on the season: First race in Michigan was cancelled, believe that, no snow in the Upper Peninsula. Our second race was a 32 mile race in Clarendon, PA. We finished second with a run time of three hours and eleven minutes. Our third event I chose not to run in, The Midnight Run, a 100 mile race. I did not feel I had enough miles on my dogs at that point in the season to have them make that race. Last race and a big meaningful race to the team was the International Can-AM Crown in Fort Kent ME. We were in the 60 mile race which is a qualifier for the 250 mile race we want to do next year.. I will blog on our face book page details of how this race went in the near future but the dog dirt on this is, we finished 20th out of a field of thirty, 5 did not make it to the starting line and one other scratched during the race, leaving 24 mushers on the trail. We did qualify for the 250 next year. Congrat’s to my team and all who had a part in making this season a successful one.
