Zonar officials said that THE ZONE 2013 provides fleet professionals across the nation an ideal opportunity to network and gain insider industry knowledge.
A key Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration official will speak at the event to provide information on CSA regulations, implications for the industry and how they will affect current fleet operations nationwide. Attendees will also hear from industry experts about the future of transportation technology and what fleets can do today to leverage existing systems.
“The transportation industry is rapidly changing,” said Brett Brinton, Zonar’s president and CEO. “Staying on top of industry news, technological developments and regulations can make all the difference in successfully managing a fleet. THE ZONE is a great place for fleet professionals to expand their network, develop new skills and gain valuable knowledge from experts and peers.”
