While the Great American Trucking Show was forced to postpone this year’s show in Dallas, some of the marquee events of the show will go on next week.

Several events will be staged online including:

Monday, Aug. 24: OVERDRIVE’S PARTNERS IN BUSINESS. Catch up on the latest financial benchmarks with this webinar from ATBS, the nation’s largest owner-operator financial services firm. ATBS will cover second-quarter earnings, miles and other metrics, present forecasts and answer listener questions. Partners in Business is sponsored by TBS Factoring Service.

Tuesday, Aug. 25: OVERDRIVE’S PARTNERS IN BUSINESS. Kevin Rutherford and Gary Buchs will discuss owner-operator trends and best practices while answering listener questions. Rutherford is a former small-fleet owner and trucking accountant, now better known as the host of satellite radio’s “Trucking Business & Beyond” and the head of LetsTruck.com. Buchs, named 2016 Owner-Operator of the Year, is now an owner-operator business consultant.

Wednesday, Aug. 26, HOURS OF SERVICE DISCUSSION. If you have a question about the hours of service rule going into effect on Sept. 29, long on to Overdrive‘s Facebook page at 8 p.m. Eastern to get answers directly from Joe DeLorenzo of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. DeLorenzo, director of enforcement and compliance for FMCSA and also the acting associate administrator, has been a regular on the Great American Trucking Show stages in years past. For this virtual seminar he’ll detail some of the intricacies of the hours changes.

Thursday, Aug. 27: OVERDRIVE’S 2020 SMALL FLEET CHAMP. This new contest will culminate with a panel of the three finalists discussing compensation, driver recruitment and other topics of concern to small fleets, followed by a question and answer session with listeners.

The Small Fleet Champ program is sponsored by Pilot Company’s One9 Fuel Network.
