COLUMBUS, Ohio – AmericanHort will host a free webinar about the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate and the impact on the horticulture industry on Thursday, March 15 at 2:30pm.
The webinar will feature Andy Bruney from T. Load Specialties, who will share insights to help business owners manage the newly-enacted trucking regulations. T. Load Specialities, a transportation company in Columbus, Ohio, has more than 25 years of experience in coordinating truck load shipments throughout the United States, specializing in a multitude of freight categories, including nursery and agricultural products.
“The purpose of this presentation will be to help shippers and receivers alike be more prepared for the upcoming season as motor carriers and logistics providers face new regulations as well as an April 1st deadline for compliance,” said Ken Fisher, president and CEO of AmericanHort. “We’ve seen in the recent Industry Insider Report on Profit Margin, that rising transportation costs are a key contributor to the margin squeeze businesses in our industry are feeling. The webinar should help our industry businesses become smarter in handling transportation and logistics challenges.”

A graduate of The Ohio State University’s Horticulture program with field experience as a landscaper and professional horticulturist, Bruney will provide a closer look at the impact on the horticulture industry and illustrate how these new laws are impacting the process of shipping and receiving products in our industry.
The webinar presentation will include:
