Iron Apple Speaking on FSMA for Carriers at the 2017 FTA Fall Round-Up in Jacksonville, October 10 – 12

We are excited to announce that Iron Apple will be taking part in the Educational Sessions at the Florida Trucking Association (FTA) Fall Round-Up event being held in Jacksonville, FL on October 10 – 12. The topic of our session is the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). We will be presenting this topic and focusing on the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food Rule (STHAF / STF) and how it affects brokers, carriers, shippers and distribution. Iron Apple will be reviewing the key requirements of the rule, what they are seeing in today’s market place and what are some industry leading best practises. If you have any questions you would like addressed during the presentation (or after), please send them in advance to sales@ironapple.net and we will do our best to cover them during our visit with the FTA. We look forward to seeing you there!
