The objectives of project CFIRE 01-01 are:

• Write, layout and format the Handbook as a Microsoft Word document that can be converted to PDF format for printing and/or web dissemination.
  
  
• Facilitate a discussion with members of the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association to get their input on the format, scope, outline and contents of the Handbook.
  
  
• Identify and then work with an advisory team of three (one representative each from the motor carriers, Wisconsin State Patrol and WisDOT DMV) to develop the Handbook. The Advisory Team will guide in information gathering and serve as reviewers of the Handbook.

In 1990, a Trucking Wisconsin Style booklet was published outlining legal and safe motor carrier operation in the state. Since then, the booklet has not been kept current and the motor carriers in Wisconsin has requested that the Wisconsin Department of Transportation produce an informational booklet.

The Handbook will be a reference of commonly requested information for dispatch operators and owner operators. A comparison of publishing costs will eventually determine the size and length of the Handbook, but it is expected to be approximately 40 pages.
