March 10, 2012, Membership Meeting – 10:00 AM
Speaker Information listed below
Debbie Leonard is a Safety Consultant for NCDOT and will be speaking on how to safely handle and respond to incidents affecting cable guide wire. This high tension safety device has greatly reduced cross median impacts, but its addition to interstate facilities causes recovery issues and, more importantly, safety concerns for Towing and Recovery Professionals and others at the scene. This training will give your drivers knowledge on how to safely remove vehicles and cargo without causing undue harm to responders, motorists, equipment and the cable itself when practical.
Brian Purvis is the Manager of Roadway Operations for the NC Turnpike Authority. Come and learn information about the state’s first all electronic toll road, along with discovering information that sets it apart from other roads in North Carolina and the country. Also, since North Carolina has approved the study of up to nine toll facilities in the state, see how this will affect both the towing and recovery industry as well as other response agencies responding to incidents on these roadways.
The meeting will take place at the newly opened National Guard’s Joint Force Headquarters. This facility houses the new NC Emergency Management’s Emergency Operations Center, Highway Patrol’s Troop C Communications Center and the Department of Transportation’s Statewide Transportation Operations Center. This state of the art facility is a first for both the state and the country. The facility is located at 1636 Gold Star Drive in Raleigh just off of Wade Avenue. Come in the southern gate closest to District Drive. Follow your way around to the front of the building and come in through the main entrance behind the Minute Man statue into the main lobby. The meeting will occur in the main auditorium.
