 Unique
Educational Program for Transportation and Logistics
Professionals
On October 7-9 TransAnalysis
joined with the Transportation Consumer Protection
Council to present a "Unique Educational
Program for Transportation and Logistics Professionals".
The three intensive, full-day seminars were presented
by experts in their fields and included daily
reference texts. John T. Harvey discussed "Freight
Claims-Filing and Recovery" which taught
about time limits for filing claims and suits,
and tariff gimmicks limiting carriers' liability.
Raymond A. Selvaggio, Esq. was the featured speaker
for "Contracting for Transportation and Logistics
Services". And returning this year was "Transportation,
Logistics and the Law" presented by William
J. Augello, Esq. based on his book by the same
title which discussed topics from legal consequences
of arrangements to the legal differences between
all entities in the business.
Attendees consisted of carriers,
shippers in manufacturing and retail, consultants,
and administrative assistants who understand the
risk and expense that is brought about by lack
of training and expertise. In their search of
specialized education in the transportation industry,
here is what some of the participants had to say
about the seminars:
"Informative and eye
opening - even with 17 years in the field -
learned new data."
"Not only geared to shipper's side, but
the carrier's point of view, too."
"Good, great actual situations and welcomed
other's situations."
"Very knowledgeable, good pace of presentation."
"Excellent text. Easy to follow for complex
material."
"Very good - exceptionally knowledgeable."

Transportation
Logistics and The Law Seminar a “Great Success”
On October 23, 2002 TransAnalysis sponsored William
Augello, esq and his seminar “Transportation
Logistics and The Law” in Taunton, MA. Based
upon Mr. Augello’s book by the same title,
the seminar addressed such issues as the specific
laws governing transportation, carrier contracts,
liability limitations for surface, air and ocean
carriers, bills of lading and the regulation of
the airline and ocean industries.
The event was very well attended
with representatives from manufacturing, retail,
aerospace and high tech industries as well as
lawyers, brokers and carriers. Also in attendance
was Ray Bohman of the Bohman Newsletter; Toby
Gooley, Senior Editor of Logistics Management
Magazine and Lee Cisneros of Transportation Consulting,
Inc. Some of the participants shared these thoughts
on the seminar:
“Set foundation
for corporate policies and procedures to protect
the legal requirements in purchasing transportation.”
– Corporate Distribution Manager, National
Manufacturing Firm
“Should be mandatory
for any person that handles transportation.”
– President, Transportation Consulting
Firm
“Time very well
spent” – Director of Transportation
& Logistics Network, Major Retail Chain
“The most detailed
seminar in Transportation Law.” –
Corporate Logistics Manager, Manufacturing Firm
Mr. Augello shared the following
thoughts on the day’s activities:
“My reaction to the
response we are seeing from shippers, brokers
and third parties is that it appears that corporate
management is beginning to recognize the need
for increased knowledge and sophistication in
transportation and logistics in a deregulated
environment!

Too many firms have lost their traffic experts
due to downsizing, and been caught with their
"pants down" after the demise of the
ICC. Shippers now must learn how to protect themselves
as there is no federal agency looking out for
the shipping public any longer.”
