Announces Trucking Day at Nationals Park

American Trucking Associations revealed the official 2019 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week logo and thank-a-trucker toolkit. The association also announced Trucking Day at Nationals Park, an event in which professional truck drivers will sing the National Anthem, receive mid-game recognitions from the fans, and participate in on-field activities.
 

“Every September, trucking comes together to recognize what we consider the most important profession in the country: truck drivers.” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “This year, ATA is partnering with leading trucking companies, industry suppliers and state associations to salute truck drivers throughout North America, and we think the 2019 logo does a great job of telling our industry’s story to the public.”

TCA Announces Support of Speed Limiter Legislation

The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has announced its support of S. 2033, The Cullum Owings Large Truck Safe Operating Speed Act of 2019. The bill would require new trucks weighing over 26,000 pounds to be equipped with speed limiters set at a maximum speed of 65 miles per hour. Existing trucks already equipped with the technology would be required to set the devices at 65 mph as well.

Since 2012, TCA has advocated for the speed of all electronically governed class 7 and 8 trucks manufactured after 1992 to be limited at a maximum speed not to exceed 65 miles per hour. We have long been industry leaders, continually seeking to improve upon an already tremendous safety record.
