Letter from the President

     According to leading economists, we are emerging from the worst post-war recession. The ATA U.S. Freight Transportation Forecast to 2021 predicts that annual truckload tonnage will increase 1.7 billion tons in the next five years, while annual freight revenue for trucking will jump $200 billion.

     Will your company be positioned properly to grow with the economy? 

     While trucking revenue will increase in the next few years, so too will the regulatory demands on our industry.  ATA Business Solutions offer products to help your company understand and meet the challenges of CSA 2010, increasing tax initiatives on the state level, and other new regulations.  In addition, unions have found strong allies in the current administration and Congress, and trucking has become a target for increased union activity.  ATA offers a solution that can help your company maintain non-union status through positive labor relations and strict compliance with the law.

  

     ATA Economic products can provide you with a sound understanding of the underlying factors driving the recovery, position your company to capitalize on new opportunities, and track how your company progresses as the economy grows.

     To help you increase efficiency and reduce costs in one of the most expensive parts of your business, ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council just released the new 2010-2011 Recommended Maintenance and Engineering Practices Manual.  This in-depth publication covers such critical topics as tires and wheels, engines, fleet maintenance management, cost control methods, energy conservation, on-board vehicle electronics, and more.    

     ATA Councils and ATA meetings are designed to help your company’s key employees maintain a thorough, up-to-date knowledge of industry trends, best practices, and other issues.  There are councils and meetings designed for high-level executives, as well as top safety, maintenance, technology, financial, legal and security professionals.

     Finally, please remember that proceeds from ATA Business Solutions support the American Trucking Associations and participating state trucking associations in our ongoing efforts to strengthen and defend the industry.  Thus, your purchases are investments in the future of your company and the entire trucking industry.

 

Best wishes and sincerely,



Bill Graves
President & CEO
