What is a New Entrant Seminar?
The FREE seminars provide education and technical assistance to motor carrier officials regarding laws and regulations applicable to intrastate operation. All necessary materials are provided free of charge! This is not an inspection venue. Thus, it is not necessary to bring commercial motor vehicles, vehicle files, or driver qualification files. All interested motor carriers are encouraged to attend, provided that they operate solely in intrastate commerce. Seminars are held on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. 12:30 p.m. at various locations throughout the state. Schedules can be accessed at New Entrant Schedules 2008 (links are located in the middle of the page). In advance of the seminar, participants should e-mail the Motor Carrier Compliance Office at Dotnumbers@dot.state.fl.us (with your request that includes your DOT number, preferred seminar location and date that you wish to attend). Or, contact us by telephone at (407)532-2787, to register in advance for a seminar.
