Publishing Exec Brad Bentley Hired as President of Truckload Carriers Association
Alabama publishing executive Brad Bentley has accepted the presidency of the Truckload Carriers Association and will begin Oct. 13, both parties confirmed Sept. 18.
TCA Chairman Shepard Dunn made the announcement after the group’s board of directors voted its approval. Bentley succeeds Chris Burruss, who departed suddenly in late June after leading the association since 2003.
Bentley, 48, has been editorial director of the recruiting division of the Randall-Reilly Publishing Co. of Tuscaloosa since 2008.
He entered the trucking-related publishing business in 1988, working for two companies that compiled driver-recruitment material.
He was the last man standing after a TCA task force waded through more than 125 applications for the job, Dunn said.
Bentley is a 1988 graduate of the University of Alabama, having earned a BA in broadcast journalism.
