Trucking Associations to Discuss Ties

More than 15 state trucking association executives are scheduled to meet Jan. 31 in Dallas to discuss the future of their organizations and their relationship with American Trucking Associations.

An ATA executive said the association was looking forward to the meeting. He said it would be an opportunity for state groups to conduct an internal assessment as ATA has done.

The unprecedented meeting was organized by two of the largest state associations, California and Texas, and one of the smallest, New Hampshire. It comes six months after ATA’s executive committee approved a strategic plan that is supposed to result in a closer alliance between state and national associations.

Meeting organizers said they are concerned with the lack of detailed information about the new relationship between ATA and state associations.
