The Union of Freight Transport and Logistics Companies in Rio Grande do Sul (SETCERGS) is promoting the Rio Grande do Sul Transport and Logistics Forum on May 12 (Monday) as part of the ‘Enforce the Law’ movement. The event, which will start at 1:59 PM, will take place at the organization’s headquarters, located at Av. São Pedro, 1420 – Porto Alegre/RS, and will bring together authorities, entrepreneurs, and sector leaders to discuss critical challenges that directly impact road freight transport operations (TRCL).
Among the names already confirmed for the event are the State’s vice-governor, Gabriel Souza; federal deputy Luciano Zucco; and state deputy Gustavo Victorino, who has stood out in the Legislative Assembly defending the demands of the transport sector.
Also attending will be figures with extensive political experience, such as former governor Germano Rigotto, former federal deputy Jerônimo Goergen, and former Porto Alegre deputy mayor Ricardo Gomes, all currently serving as political advisors for SETCERGS. The business sector will be represented by the president of Federasul, Rodrigo Fernandes, and the event will be moderated by journalist and vice-president of Rede Pampa, Paulo Sérgio Pinto.
“Today, we face almost unsustainable difficulties in our work. The 11-hour law is a good example of this. We are complying with the legislation, but all stakeholders must be held accountable—from shippers to receivers—and not just the transporter, who is exposed on the roads,” emphasized SETCERGS President Delmar Albarello.
Among the topics to be discussed at the forum are the 11-hour workday for drivers, road infrastructure to ensure safety during nighttime stops, as well as the responsibilities of shippers and receivers in complying with the law—issues that directly impact the safety and efficiency of the road freight transport sector.
Registration is free, limited to two representatives per member company, and can be completed via the link https://www.sympla.com.br/evento/forum-do-transporte-e-logistica-do-rio-grande-do-sul/2912145?referrer=www.setcergs.com.br
