At NHADA, we know staying informed isn’t just an advantage — it’s essential for operating safely, legally and competitively. That’s why we offer ongoing, expert-led training for members and industry professionals alike. Recently, we hosted two impactful sessions designed to help New Hampshire businesses stay ahead of regulatory and legal changes. FMCSA NEW ENTRANT SAFETY ASSURANCE PROGRAM TRAINING On June 24, NHADA welcomed Trooper First Class Derek Holston of the New Hampshire State Police for an in-depth course covering the fundamentals of operating as a Motor Carrier. Trooper Holston shared his extensive expertise from 20 years of service, including 14 years on the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Team. The training provided critical insight into: • Federal and state regulations. • Safety standards and maintenance obligations. • Driver qualification and hours-of-service rules. • Recordkeeping responsibilities. • The FMCSA new entrant safety assurance program. This course was designed to help new motor carrier owners, safety managers, fleet supervisors and administrative staff build a strong foundation for long-term compliance and safe operation. TRENDING ISSUES IN FRANCHISE LAW FOR NH DEALERS We also hosted an essential legal update led by Hilary Holmes Rheaume, Esq., of Bernstein Shur, an NHADA Silver Partner. Tailored for automotive, equipment and powersport dealers, this session addressed the latest legal trends reshaping franchise relationships in New Hampshire. Key topics included: • Direct sales and subscription services. • Market consolidation. • Statutory repurchase rights. Attendees gained valuable insights into how these developments could affect their businesses and practical strategies to navigate the evolving landscape.
