A CHAT WITH THE CHAIRMAN VOICE for the industry Foreword and interview by Linda Garner-Bunch As Dave Williams enters his second quarter as chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), he’s continuing the organization’s focus on providing valuable resources for its members, from enhanced educational offerings to amplifying the “voice of truckload” on Capitol Hill. This year’s Safety & Security meeting is one for the record books and the Refrigerated meeting is just around the corner; Williams says both events have been redesigned to better help carriers catch up on regulations and trends. Looking forward, TCA members are encouraged to participate in September’s Call on Washington and place issues vital to trucking directly on the desks of their legislators. There are many topics of note, from the feasibility (or non-feasibility) of the Environmental Protection Agency’s zero-emissions deadlines for big rigs to AB5-type attacks on trucking’s independent contractor model, a shortage of truck parking, the prevalence of lawsuit abuse and nuclear verdicts, and more. Turn the page to read Williams’ thoughts on the state of trucking in general, plans for the future of TCA, and ideas for meeting the industry’s day-to-day challenges.
