What a month! Four conferences in four weeks and we just got home from the Michigan Hazmat Responder Conference in Northern Michigan.

We were fortunate to have delivered four courses. Barry Lindley delivered his Intermodals class, Corrosives class, and Compressed Gas Cylinders class.

We then delivered our new EV OPS class, which included several hands-on demonstrations and some really great conversations!

Thank You Michigan State Police and all that attended!!
