2. DOT Compliance and Risk Management Control Systems

4.8

(162)

Trucking is one of the most regulated industries in the country, and a much more complex business than many people realize when they first get into it. Unlike other regulated professions like real estate, insurance, law, accounting etc. which all have education and testing requirements before you can begin operating such a regulated business - trucking has no such preliminary requirements. Virtually anyone who can fill out a few forms, or pay a third party service to do it for them, and then pay the filing fees can start a trucking company. It is not complicated or hard to do. Regardless of whether a new motor carrier (trucking company) understands it or not - they are immediately and fully under all of the applicable regulations that cover virtually every aspect of their business. These regulations are a maze of complex, and often changing regulations, rules and procedures that contain subtle almost hidden requirements that carry heavy fines, penalties and other liabilities in the event they are violated, whether intentionally or not. The key to reducing your chances of having problems, getting fined and even possibly losing your authority to operate and being forced off the road - and probably out of business as a result - is to take the time and effort to become familiar with the requirements BEFORE you start operating your new trucking business. This course is designed and intended to give you an INTRODUCTION to and make you aware of key regulations, overall risk management practices and procedures and of what management control systems are as well as how to use them effectively. PLEASE NOTE: This Is An INTRODUCTORY Course Only To properly cover it all in detail to the level needed would make this a massive course, and is beyond our scope and purpose here. Having said  that, it will help give you a far better understanding of what you are going to need to be aware of, and how to begin preparing to meet regulatory requirements. In the course I will tell you how you can get additional resources and much more in-depth information when you want it too. Staying Current and Continuing EducationOvertime the regulations do change. That makes it extremely important to keep your learning current and to always be using current copies of the regulations too. Taking additional courses, attending workshops either in person or via Zoom or other similar methods is a very good idea and a wise investment. Taking this course will help you build a solid foundation for your own risk management and DOT compliance programs and help you do better in your trucking business overall...

3. Visual Basic - VB dot Net Programming

4.2

(73)

VB dot NET is known as Visual Basic dot NET. VB dot NET is a simple, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft in 2002, and it is the successor of Visual Basic 6 (VB6) language, that implement on the dot NET Framework. One of the best features of the VB dot NET language is that its program can also run on mono (multi-platform), which means that it is not restricted to run on the Windows operating system; moreover, it can also run on Linux and Mac OS. The Application built using the VB dot NET is much secure, robust, high-performance, and easy to develop. VB dot Net is implemented on the Microsoft dot NET framework. Furthermore, it supports the OOPs concept, such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. Therefore, everything in the VB dot NET language is an object, including all primitive data types (Integer, String, char, long, short, Boolean, etc.), user-defined data types, events, and all objects that inherit from its base class. It is not a case sensitive language, whereas, C++, Java, and C# are case sensitive language. Applications built using the VB dot NET language are very reliable and scalable, relying on the dot NET Framework to access all libraries that help to execute a VB dot NET program. With this language, you can develop a fully object-oriented application that is similar to an application created through another language such as C++, Java, or C#. In addition, applications or programs of VB dot NET are not only running on the window operating system but can also run on Linux or Mac OS. The VB dot NET language is designed in such a way that any new beginner or novice and the advanced programmer can quickly develop a simple, secure, robust, high performance of web, windows, console, and mobile application running on dot NET Framework. As we know, it is a high-level programming language with many features to develop a secure and robust application. These are the following features that make it the most popular programming language. It is an object-oriented programming language that follows various oops concepts such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and many more. It means that everything in VB dot NET programming will be treated as an object. This language is used to design user interfaces for window, mobile, and web-based applications. It supports a rapid application development tool kit. In which a developer does not need to write all the codes as it can get various code automatically from its libraries. For example, when we create a form in Visual basic dot net, it automatically calls events of various form in that class. It is not a case sensitive language like other languages such as C++, java, etc. It supports Boolean condition for decision making in programming. It also supports the multithreading concept, in which you can do multiple tasks at the same time. It provides simple events management in dot NET application. A Window Form enables us to inherit all existing functionality of form that can be used to create a new form. So, in this way, it reduced the code complexity. It uses an external object as a reference that can be used in a VB dot NET application. Automatic initialized a garbage collection. It follows a structured and extensible programming language for error detection and recovery. Conditional compilation and easy to use generic classes. It is useful to develop web, window, and mobile applications...
