The Trucking Industry Defense Association's (TIDA) Cargo Skills & Liability Skills Seminars (previously called TIDA Cargo & Skills Course Seminars) is the industry's annual event specifically catering to new motor carriers, trucking insurers, defense attorneys and claims servicing company professionals. 

The Cargo Skills Seminar is a one-day event designed to educate attendees on how to recognize, investigate and defend claims and lawsuits that arise from the loss or damage to goods and to manage situations following a cargo claim against a carrier or insured. The Cargo Seminar will take place on April 14.

The Liability Skills Seminar is a two-day event designed to teach attendees critical thinking skills with real-world scenarios and key strategies in all areas for the successful handling of trucking claims. The Skills Course Seminar will take place on April 15-16.

You will not want to miss these opportunities for industry networking, education, and information gathering!

"This event truly embodies the goals of TIDA - the sharing of ideas and making important connections. The value of the information and the people you meet far exceeds any cost associated with it."

Knowledgeable and engaging presenters in a smaller setting made it easier to ask questions, share information, unique circumstances and experiences with the group and fellow attendees."
