NPSA Spring Portable Storage Seminar Tackles DOT Compliance

The National Portable Storage Association's 2010 Spring Portable Storage Seminar in Virginia Beach, Va. on April 26-27 is set to tackle DOT compliance issues.

Kansas City, MO, March 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The National Portable Storage Association's 2010 Spring Seminar will tackle DOT compliance issues when industry leaders convene at the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront resort in Virginia Beach, Va. on April 26-27.

Although the Spring seminar puts a strong emphasis on eco-green trends, and sustainable buildings, seminar topics will also include U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance. David Medeiros of the Rhode Island State Police will offer attendees a lecture on DOT compliance as it relates to the trucking industry. There are many issues portable storage vendors need to consider, such as cross-border trucking, trucking safety through work zones, and inspections.

"By nature of transporting portable storage containers across the state and across the country – and sometimes into Canada – the industry has to deal with government agencies like the Department of Transportation," said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director the NPSA. "Mr. Medeiros will offer strategic insights into making sure your operation is in compliance with local and federal regulations."

The NPSA's 2010 Spring Seminar kicks off on Monday, April 26, 2010 with a noontime luncheon and registration. NPSA Chairman Joe Verdi, owner of A-Verdi Storage Containers, will set the conference in motion with the opening ceremonies before introducing a series of opening-day speakers. There will also be a roundtable discussion moderated by Phil Herndon, President of Container Solutions, and an evening reception. The following day will include a trip to Mid Atlantic Leasing for a hands-on container modification discussion and yard tour.

Registration is $425 for NPSA members and $775 for non-NPSA members. Members can receive an discount by registering on or before March 20, 2010. Non-members are encouraged to join the NPSA can save up to $350 on registration fees. Attendees that do not register in advance will pay $75 additional for walk-up registration.
