Jacqueline Gelb, who helped steer environmental policy at American Trucking Associations, will take on the role of president at American Truck Dealers starting Dec. 9.
ATD, a division of the National Automobile Dealers Association, announced Gelb’s appointment Nov. 18. She succeeds Laura Perrotta, who left the group earlier this year to take the reins at the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers.
“Jacqueline brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the regulatory and policy issues that impact truck dealers the most. In the current industry landscape, that is invaluable,” said Scott Pearson, ATD chairman and president of Peterbilt of Atlanta.
Gelb has spent 13 years in the trucking and transportation sectors. At ATA, she served as vice president of energy and environmental affairs, leading efforts on policy issues like emissions and energy standards. Before that, she was vice president of government relations at Navistar — now rebranded as International Motors — where she managed public policy strategies.

Mike Stanton, president and CEO of NADA, called Gelb’s hiring timely for truck dealers navigating complex challenges in the current regulatory environment. “She has the knowledge, experience and passion to successfully advocate for our dealer members,” Stanton said.
ATA has not yet named a replacement for Gelb.
Gelb’s appointment is part of ATD’s broader effort to bolster its leadership team. David Bell, formerly NADA’s legislative affairs director specializing in medium- and heavy-duty truck issues, will transition to ATD director.
ATD represents more than 3,300 medium- and heavy-duty truck dealerships across the U.S. and advocates for the interests of franchised dealers.
