The awards were announced during the federation’s Management Conference & Exhibition here on Oct. 5.

The seven executives have more than a century of combined experience. They are:
• Bob Farrell, executive director of the Automobile Carriers Conference, with 30 years.

• Larry Johnson, president of the Nebraska Trucking Association, 10 years.

• Louis Campion, CEO of the Maryland Motor Truck Association, five years.
“We are blessed to have so many committed individuals working as part of our ATA federation, and we’re thankful to them for their effort and dedication,” said incoming ATA Chairman Duane Long, chairman of Longistics, based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
