ATLANTA — The Technology & Maintenance Council of American Trucking Associations recognized several industry leaders and professionals with awards for their service on Feb. 26 during the council’s 2020 annual meeting.
“We have leaders across our organization, but the technicians and executives we honor here set and raise the bar for excellence in this industry every day,” Robert Braswell, TMC’s executive director, said in a statement.
