The new theme for the American Trucking Associations’ yearly meeting, chosen in the wake of the terrorist attacks, will be "Standing Together
“It is more important than ever for trucking leaders to attend this conference,” William Canary, ATA’s interim president, told staffers.
“We need to stand together,” Canary said, eight days after the attacks. “I am calling members to tell them that they need to attend this meeting. We need to send a message to our leaders that we are ready to move America forward.
The ATA’s annual meeting, which is the largest event of its kind in the trucking industry, is set for for Oct. 28-31 at the Opryland Hotel, in Nashville.
It typically draws several thousand trucking executives and industry suppliers to set legislative priorities for the trade association.
