The Alabama Trucking Association Joins Forces with AdvanceOnline Solutions, Inc. to Promote DOT Transportation Safety Institute's Motor Carrier Safety and Compliance Curriculum

February 1, 2007, Houston, TX - AdvanceOnline Solutions, Inc., announces a partnership agreement with the Alabama Trucking Association (ATA) to promote web-based curriculum approved the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

The Motor Carrier Safety courses are developed in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation's Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The ATA will offer its members a wide range of DOT/TSI branded Motor Carrier Safety Compliance web-based courses along with highly regarded hazardous materials (HM) courses that have been developed exclusively by AdvanceOnline Solutions, Inc. The series of web-based courses are targeted to management as well as drivers to provide a cost-effective and convenient way of training.

The partnership provides cutting edge online training to the members of the ATA. "Rooted in safety, compliance, and education, support for this program was a natural choice for ATA. As an added benefit, supervisors and professional drivers can earn official Transportation Safety Institute certificates from the U.S. DOT upon satisfactory completion," said J. Frank Filgo, Alabama Trucking Association, President and CEO. Noting the Web-based delivery and quality of the courses Frank added, "The accessibility and economics of this program make it feasible for ATA members to get this training directly in the hands of the professional driver. Together with ATA members and AdvanceOnline, we will continue to endorse thoughtful programs that make our highways and roads safer!"

"As an innovative leader in online safety and compliance training, AdvanceOnline Solutions, Inc. has long recognized the importance of collaborating with state motor carriers so that this critical training is readily accessible to those who need it most. This partnership with ATA once again shows our commitment to improved public safety and the association's emphasis on learning and training. The agreement will also make our DOT/TSI and HAZMAT courses available more broadly and lower barriers to education, " said Kent Urdahl, AdvanceOnline Solutions, President and COO.

The Web-based training, delivered by AdvanceOnline's state-of-the-art Learning Management System (LMS) features a user-friendly interface, automated recordkeeping, online report generation, and the ability to assign training roles for association members' companies that enroll with AdvanceOnline Solutions, Inc.
