It rhymes with seminar
You probably haven’t participated in a webinar, but there’s nothing to it – and plenty to gain from it. Mark your calendar for 8 p.m., April 22, when Overdrive will present its first online seminar with Kevin Rutherford, our Dollars & Sense columnist and long-time presenter at Partners in Business seminars.
Rutherford, also host of “ATBS Trucking Business & Beyond” on Sirius XM Radio, will explain “How to Survive in a Difficult Market.” It will cover:
· Knowing your numbers
· Controlling your costs
· Doing what others won’t do
· Re-evaluating everything, including your lifestyle
Check www.truckerwebinars.com to register and get more information on how to listen to the webinar and send questions to Rutherford.
