“<br />
Keeping a PULSE ON THE INDUSTRY is<br />
absolutely essential in this business. Truckload Authority’s<br />
WELL-RESEARCHED columns and current events<br />
articles certainly help formulate operational strategies<br />
within our company. Given the political divisiveness<br />
currently in Washington, D.C., it’s NEVER BEEN MORE<br />
IMPORTANT to have one voice with a strong direction<br />
that advocates keeping our nation’s highways safe and our<br />
professional truck drivers profitable. Truckload Authority<br />
is a MUST READ.”<br />
— Robert Low, President and Founder, Prime Inc.<br />
