BGS Proudly Supports the Minnesota Trucking Association

September 20, 2024  |  Carole Clark Isakson

As they have for many years, BGS attorneys James Wills and Carole Clark Isakson attended and participated in the annual Minnesota Trucking Association conference in northern Minnesota last month. Corporate paralegal Rachel Schwankl also returned for another year of conference events, and associate Jacob LeVahn attended for the first time this year to round out the team. BGS is a member of the MTA and sponsors various events throughout the year for the organization, including the keynote speaker at the annual conference. This year’s conference featured multiple networking and educational events, including a keynote speaker (introduced by Jake) and Carole’s seminar on various aspects of broker and carrier liability. That topic is key for trucking companies that frequently have an affiliate with a broker’s license or broker freight internally. Understanding the risks inherent in these operations and how to best protect against liability is critical for brokers and carriers. The event was held at Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd, and attendees enjoyed both the conference and its location. Daily events included meetings, seminars, and social gatherings.
