Memphis, The Truckload Carriers Association hosted its 38th Annual Safety & Security Division Meeting June 2-4 at the Guest House at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. The event has consistently brought truckload carrier safety professionals together to discuss problems, share ideas, and seek solutions to make their businesses and our roads safer. This year, nearly 200 attendees had the opportunity to hear from industry executives during the following panels: “Safety Vision – Industry Outlook: Beyond Safety,” “Safety Culture Change through the Years,” “Safety Perspectives – A Panel Discussion of Past and Present Winners” and “The Top 10 Things that will Put You in Court and How to Avoid Them.” New this year, FMCSA Administrator Ray Martinez joined TCA’s David Heller for an inaugural “FMCSA Fireside Chat,” moderated by SiriusXM Radio Host Mark Willis. The event also offered its highly popular “Safety in the Round” sessions, which gave attendees the opportunity to draw knowledge from the group to solve common safety management and human resource problems. Topics included workers’ compensation issues, employee/employer communication, improving driver-hiring procedures, among others. In addition to specialized educational sessions, attendees made the most of several networking opportunities and were able to learn about the latest products and services in the sold-out exhibit hall.
