Truckload Authority - Winter 2014/15

Winter Edition | TCA 2014-15
Member Mailroom
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is,
“What type of content and
educational services does TCA
provide through Truckload Academy?”
In an effort to better answer this question for new members, or perhaps
long-time members not reaping the rewards that come with utilizing
Truckload Academy in your business, let’s take a closer look.
It will be a year of continuation and creativity for Truckload Academy 2015.
Still on the agenda will be the popular Fleet Managers Certification program and the Truckload Academy webinars.
New will be two additional professional development certification programs — one for recruiting managers,
the other for risk management executives.
Certification is important in today’s competitive trucking industry. It is a way to both thank employees by
offering them professional development opportunities, and make carriers more attractive to customers who
appreciate a well-prepared staff.
Also new in 2015 will be driver training programs covering such areas as safety, Hours of Service, electronic
logging devices, CSA, cargo securement, drug and alcohol awareness and health and wellness. The driver
training programs will be available at a discount for Truckload Carriers Association members.
As always, the Truckload Academy on-demand webinars will cover the latest topics as recommend by the
TCA staff and TCA’s Recruitment & Retention Human Resources and Education committees. Members of
the committees have their fingers on the pulse of the front lines of the trucking industry and know the types of
information that carriers, their drivers and employees need most.
And, of course, we can always add a topic as warranted by new regulatory issues or government programs
that impact trucking.
Stay in touch with the Truckload Academy through future issues of Truckload Authority and the TCA website,
truckload.org.
