ONLA to host seminar on vehicle regulation changes

The Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association will host an event to educate members on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio's revised rules.

The regulations apply to many truck and trailer combinations.

PUCO Transportation Department/Enforcement Division Chief Milan Orbovich will give a free presentation that covers: Revised driver qualifications, new record-keeping regulations, vehicle inspection, repair and maintenance requirements, vehicle marking and equipment lists.

The free event will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 4 at the Best Western Columbus North -- 888 E. Dublin-Granville Rd., Columbus. Registration is required by the November 1, and can be found on ONLA's website here.
