TCA Chief: No More Integration Talks With ATA on the Horizon
The Truckload Carriers Association does not plan any more integration discussions with American Trucking Associations, according to TCA Chairman Robert Hansen.
In a June 27 interview, Hansen said ATA is inflexible on its requirement that all conference members also belong to ATA and a state trucking association.
The plan includes the mandatory membership provision that has already caused three groups — American Moving and Storage Association, Towing and Recovery Association of America and Truck Rental and Leasing Association — to leave ATA.

Also, the munitions carriers and the intermodal conference are being reconstituted as policy committees.
