ATA Offers Dues Plan For TMC Membership
TUCSON, Ariz. — American Trucking Associations last week presented The Maintenance Council with a dues proposal designed to keep the council’s membership intact.
Under the compromise, which Barefoot spelled out June 12 for TMC members at the council’s summer meeting here, fleet employees of non-ATA companies would pay a premium of $50 in addition to normal TMC dues. A company’s second employee membership in the council would call for a premium of $20.

ATA will drop its requirement that trucking companies must be ATA members in order for their employees to be TMC members, said David Barefoot, an ATA senior vice president. In exchange, ATA will impose a “premium” on top of normal annual dues for individual fleet memberships in TMC in cases where the member’s company is not an ATA company.
TMC has five categories of memership: full fleet member, supervisor/driver/owner and associate categories for educational members, component suppliers and dealers. Only the full fleet membership is affected by the proposal.
