In many cases, conventional transactions and operations need to be reviewed, making the rapid establishment of systems essential. In this seminar, we will organize the key points of the revision, such as the 'mandatory creation of an actual transportation system management record', 'suppression of the multi-tier subcontracting structure', and 'penalties for the illegal use of unlicensed white-plate trucks', and explain the practical tasks that need to be addressed before enforcement in a session lasting about 30 minutes.
