SAN ANTONIO – The Truckload Carriers Association has removed Robert Hirsch as the organization's president, Transport Topics has learned.
Hirsch and TCA, "mutually agreed today to separate due to a difference of opinion on managerial approach," TCA Chairman Clifton Parker said in an Oct. 20 statement. Parker is president of G & P Trucking Co. in Gaston, S.C.
TCA, which traditionally meets at the same time American Trucking Associations holds its annual meeting, had its board of directors meeting here Sunday, Oct. 19.
TCA, which has more than 450 motor-carrier members, reaffiliated with ATA in 2002. The carriers' group pays ATA an annual $100,000 fee to represent it on Capitol Hill, and has its headquarters at the ATA office in Alexandria, Va. There is a large overlap in the membership of the two groups.
