Our President, Mark Miller, attended the 2024 Management Conference and Exhibition (MCE) hosted by the American Trucking Associations (ATA). Every year at ATA MCE industry leaders join to discuss the current trends, challenges, and opportunities within the trucking industry. Learn about the state of the industry, upcoming regulations, economic impacts, and more: https://lnkd.in/gDrzBHqH #trucking #ATAMCE24 #supplychain
ATA President and CEO Chris Spear called on the trucking industry to unite and fight for pro-trucking policies in his annual State of the Industry Address at #ATAmce24. Citing a presidential election; a deeply divided Congress; and a series of challenges, opportunities and threats facing the industry, Spear explained how the the ATA Federation is uniquely positioned to navigate the complexities of today’s political environment and drive outcomes for its membership. “The stage is set. The stakes are high. And in just three short weeks, we’ll know the direction our country takes,” Spear told a crowd of industry leaders attending ATA’s Management Conference and Exhibition, representing all 50 states and every segment of the trucking industry. “Regardless of the outcome, ATA will remain at the table," he said. “Our story is the rock that breaks the wave. It speaks to all sides and serves as the start of every idea and possibility, never the afterthought.” There is a nexus between trucking and kitchen-table economics that makes the industry an "ideal partner of choice for government decisionmakers,” Spear said, and a key reason why ATA is positioned to drive outcomes in Washington, D.C., and state capitals across every part of the country, regardless of which political party holds power.
