See your Firestone Sales Representative for details. COMMERCIAL.FIRESTONE.COM *Certain conditions and limitations apply. † The Firestone FS591 is the most dependable, longest wearing long haul steer tire in its class/segment. Fleet evaluation in long haul applications with multiple users demonstrated the majority of tested FS591 tires had at least 30% better removal mileage than the average CO HSL2 Eco Plus tire. Actual results will vary depending on several factors such as tire size, operating conditions, maintenance, road conditions and driving style.
AUGUST/SEPTEMBER | TCA 2018 President’s Purview Our Success is Defined by Your Input You’ve heard me say this before — the roadmap to TCA’s success is defined by our officers and refined by the needs of the entirety of our engaged membership — and now is the time that proves how true that statement really is. At no point in the year are the myriad voices and perspectives of truckload more necessary than in the late summer and early fall, when the key players in the association meet to discuss where TCA is now and the direction it will be heading in the near future. In August, the TCA officers gathered in Bend, Oregon, for our yearly Officer’s Planning Meeting. This was a week of big discussions, innovative ideas, and the tough talks that any association needs to continue to grow and improve. I am proud to report that next year’s budget was approved, and I must thank the TCA team for the many long hours they put into planning ahead and creating departmental budgets that are both reasonable and creative. With the success of our Officer’s Planning Meeting, it’s now time to turn to our broader membership for input on TCA’s course of action. September 24-26, we will be having our Fall Business Meetings in Washington, D.C. These important meetings will bring together TCA’s committees to engage in more granular discussions to provide guidance in specific areas such as regulatory policy, highway policy, recruitment and retention, and more. If you are already an active member of a committee, you know how integral these discussions are in guiding TCA’s actions over the next year; but if you have never taken part in TCA committee meetings, I cannot stress enough how important it is that we have you and your unique perspective in those rooms. Your voice will be critical in shaping how TCA operates. Whereas the committee meetings will allow you to help shape TCA policy, your voice will also be critical in helping to create the federal changes our industry needs. When you attend our Second Annual Call on Washington you’ll meet with members of Congress, their key staff, and federal regulators to discuss legislation and regulations affecting your company and the industry. Your government leaders need to hear from you, and we as truckload must work as one unified group to have our experiences and expertise guide the decisions being made on our behalf. Every single additional voice proudly sharing the truckload story will make the totality of our message that much stronger and make it more likely that real, substantive changes will occur. We need you there. John Lyboldt President Truckload Carriers Association jlyboldt@truckload.org as a cannoneer with Battery C at a remote fire support base in 1967. Purchase a ticket or a table and help us to honor Sergeant Davis and all the brave men and women who have served our country. Between the Fall Business Meetings, Call on Washington, the Wreaths Gala, and the opening of the application periods for our Best Fleets to Drive For, Fleet Safety, and Driver of the Year contests, this is sure to be a busy and exciting time for TCA and our members. Only with your continued engagement will these events be successful. I look forward to seeing you in Washington soon. September will also be a big month for engaging with TCA in other ways. The Sixth Annual Wreaths Across America Charitable Gala on September 26 will be a night of patriotism you won’t want to miss. The night’s keynote speaker, Sergeant Sammy Davis, is a Medal of Honor recipient and will tell his brave tale of service PRESIDENT’S PICKS Chat With the Chairman TCA Chairman Dan Doran talks about regulatory issues immediately ahead Page 26 Inside Out Globe-hopping Kathryn Sanner joins TCA as manager of government affairs Page 34 Those Who Deliver With its six divisions, Best Logistics Group truly “can handle that” Page 38 TCA 2018 www.Truckload.org | Truckload Authority 3
