If you move goods,the rules governing how you do it are getting more stringent. To help shippers stay up to date, the National Industrial Transportation League is offering a series of one-day programs titled "Security—Freight Transport and You." At $795 for members and $995 for non-members, the seminars are not cheap, but the league promises a comprehensive examination of the latest security mandates, including those affecting documentation, certification, operations and enforcement.

The dates and locations of the four seminars currently scheduled are: Feb. 13, 2003, in Houston; Feb. 26, 2003, in Chicago; March 12, 2003, in Los Angeles; and March 18, 2003, in Newark, N.J. For a registration form, visit www.nitl.org/secsem.htm
