Reliable Answers for Uncertain Times

Societal changes — accelerated by technology and the ongoing COVID-19 crisis — are transforming the way fleets specify and operate equipment in both intentional and unintended ways. Staying ahead of the learning curve is paramount to maintaining and securing fleet operations. That’s why it is appropriate that the theme of TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting is “Reliable Answers for Uncertain Times.”

Given the current health and economic crisis prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, TMC has made the decision to forgo its traditional in-person event format and instead offer industry professionals an all-virtual alternative. This alternative, not lightly taken, will allow TMC members and non-members alike the chance to experience all the content of TMC’s Fall Meeting while still being sensitive to the health- and economic-related pressures that we all are facing in 2020.

While TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting will be able to held in a virtual setting, TMC will unfortunately not be able to hold its National Technician Skills Competitions (TMCSuperTech) or National Student Technician Competition (TMCFutureTech) in 2020. Instead, TMC will celebrate the first-ever National Technician Appreciation Week the week following TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting, during September 21-25. During this time, the Council will offer special online training sessions aimed at technicians and shop supervisors in our annual PDTC Technician Training Fair, as well as other media activities to showcase commercial vehicle technicians.

Large-format virtual events are new to all of us. We’re all first-timers this week at TMC. If there is a silver lining to the circumstances we find ourselves in this year, it’s this — we all have a chance to find new ways to connect, learn and grow in our chosen fields at a time when technology makes remaining connected and productive possible despite the challenges we face. If there is one common thread in the history of TMC, it’s that TMC members have always found a way to adapt and overcome whatever challenges present themselves.

Thanks for joining us virtually. Have a terrific week!

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S ( FAQ s )

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted all organizations, including TMC, to adapt to the realities of social distancing. Nonetheless, the business of TMC must move forward and, therefore, Council events have pivoted to an all-virtual format until restrictions on large gatherings are lifted and it is safe to assemble in person.

The following section provides answers to frequently asked questions regarding participation in TMC meetings that are being conducted in a fully virtual environment, such as those associated with TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting.

Q: How do I participate in TMC’s new virtual event? A: Register online at http://tmcfall.trucking.org. Shortly after

you should receive a confirmation email with further instructions on selecting sessions to attend via Webex. After making your selections, a calendar reminder (e.g., Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, iCal, etc.) will be sent to your smartphone/tablet/laptop/PC/electronic device with instructions, links and access codes to access each session selected. If you do not receive a registration confirmation email within 24 hours, please first check your spam folder to ensure it has not been flagged. If not, please contact Registrations at (866) 821-3468; email: registrations@trucking.org.

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S ( FAQ s )

NOTE: Calendar reminders will not be sent for Task Forces. All TMC Task Forces will meet on Tuesday, September 15 via telephone conference call — not Webex. Call-in instructions on how to join Task Force meeting calls will be provided as part of the meeting confirmation process and are included in this Meeting Program. Task Force participants will be able to access presentations, documents, etc., via the Council’s online collaborative platform TMC Connect (http://tmcconnect.trucking.org).

Q: I would like to register for additional sessions — how do I add these to my schedule?

A: To add sessions to your selected list after your initial selections are made, please reference your TMC registration confirmation email to access the Webex registration link.

NOTE: Registration is not required for “Closed” Meetings. Special Webex invitations with instructions for joining will be sent for the closed sessions.

Q: Do I need to download any software in order to participate in the virtual version of TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting?

A: Once fully registered, when you click the link in your Webex confirmation email to join a session, a prompt will appear to download and install the Webex plug in. You are encouraged to test your connectivity beforehand by going to https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html/ and join the test meeting.

Q: What devices can I access the virtual event from? A: For the best experience, please join sessions from a

laptop or desktop — especially if participating as Host/Presenter, and if your participation involves voting or audience interaction.

Q: What if I have technical issues with the virtual sessions?A: Call our Technical Issues Hotline at (703) 838-7919 for

technical assistance or email MISadmin@trucking.org.

Q: Can only TMC Members register? A: Anyone can register for TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting

(http://tmcfall.trucking.org). TMC Members and individuals from an ATA-member company enjoy discounted meeting registration rates.

Q: Who can I talk to regarding sponsorships? A: Contact Dan Duggan (703) 838-1756; dduggan@trucking.

org or Janine Taylor (703) 838-1923; jtaylor@trucking.org at the ATA Sponsorship and Exhibits department.

Q: Will TMC Task Forces also meet at TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting?

A: Yes, TMC Task Forces will meet via telephone conference call and online using TMC Connect during TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting on Tuesday, September 15. Attendees will not sign up for individual task forces, but rather call into specific task forces using telephone conference line access credentials assigned to each parent Study Group for the day. Your access instructions provided will allow you access to any task force within a given Study Group on Tuesday. Come and go as you please during Task Force day.

Q: To access the sessions for TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting, will TMC use the ATA Events Mobile App used for in-person events?

A: No, all sessions and materials will be accessed via Cisco Webex, except for Task Forces which will use a combination of telephone conference lines and TMC Connect. (http://tmcconnect.trucking.org).

Q: As an attendee, will I be seen on video? A: If participating as an audience member, you can view

presenters by video, however your video will not be activated (If you are participating in any session as a presenter, your Webex video capabilities will be activated). If you are participating in a leadership committee meeting, all participants will be able to share video and audio. If you are participating in a Task Force, all participants will be able to share via telephone audio and download presentations/documents via TMC Connect. (http://tmcconnect.trucking.org).

Q: Will Q&A be permitted during the sessions? How will I be able to share a comment or question?

A: All sessions will have the ability for attendees to ask questions. When the session moderator/leader asks for any questions or comments, attendees will have the option to comment or ask questions by “raising a hand” or typing a question into the Q&A window located on the right side of the screen. The procedure for speaking within the session varies depending on the session type as follows.• For Technical Sessions/Study Group Sessions/Town

Meeting: All audience members will be automatically muted for the session. To “raise a hand,” participants

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S ( FAQ s )

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S ( FAQ s )

must click on the hand icon on the right side of the screen. Once the moderator/leader announces your name and asks for your comment/question you will be unmuted to speak, and will be muted again when done speaking.

• For Leadership Committee Meetings: Participants will not be muted by default and can speak freely during the session. However, we ask that if you are not speaking, please mute your audio as a courtesy to others.

• For Task Force Meetings: Participants will not be muted by default and can speak freely during the telephone conference call session. Again, we ask if you are not speaking, please mute your audio as a courtesy to others.

Q: Will attendance be taken during sessions? A: Yes, but how this is handled depends on the session type.

• For all sessions except Task Force Meetings, attendance is recorded automatically when you logon to an individual session.

• For Task Force Meetings, individuals will be asked to join each specific Task Force on TMC Connect, and register “present” by clicking the appropriate attendance button within the Task Force Community under the Event tab once the event has started.

Q: Will sessions at TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting be recorded and made available after the event is over?

A: TMC’s Operating Manual and Bylaws specifically prohibit audio/visual recordings of TMC general meetings. So, recordings will not be made or be available. Presenter PowerPoints will be shared if we have received permission to do so. Meeting minutes/presentation highlights will be sent to all TMC members following the event via the Council’s technical journal The Trailblazer (in both print and electronic format) which contains the official proceedings of TMC general meetings.

Q: What time zone is TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting based upon?A: All times listed are Eastern.

NATIONAL TECHNICIAN APPRECIATION WEEK

ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) is pleased to announce the launch of the first National Technician Appreciation Week, scheduled for September 21-25. It will take place the week following TMC’s 2020 Fall Meeting — a virtual event — as well as National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.

While the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has forced the cancellation of the National Technician Skills Competitions (TMCSuperTech) and National Student Technician Competition (TMCFutureTech) for 2020, TMC is excited to begin this new endeavor aimed at celebrating those without whom the trucking industry could not carry out its vital mission of hauling the nation’s freight.

TMC will host a series of webinars in our online Professional Technician Development Committee (PTDC) Technician Training Fair (1-2 pm eastern on days listed below), which are:

• Aftertreatment Diagnostics & Maintenance (Sept. 21)• Electrical System Diagnostics (Sept. 22)• Vehicle Data Network Diagnostics (Sept. 23)• Collision Mitigation Systems (Sept. 24)• How to Prepare for ASE Certification Testing (Sept. 25)

Registration for these sessions is free. To register, go to https://ata.webex.com/ata/onstage/g.php?PRID=460126eb23c090fbe13614ad92067f04

During this week, TMC also plans to recognize outstanding technicians in a number of ways:

• First, we have asked industry stakeholders to nominate their “Technician Superstar,” a person who exemplifies excellence as a commercial vehicle technician. Winners will be selected for three categories: heavy-duty, trailer, and light/medium duty.

• Second, we will recognize the technician with the highest score on the ASE Preventive Maintenance Master Technician Certification Test for 2020 (cutoff: August 15, 2020).

• Third, we will recognize this year’s diesel tech winner of the TechForce Foundation’s “FutureTechs Rock Awards,” honored for outstanding contributions as a role model at school and in the community.

TMC encourages companies to recognize their own outstanding technicians, as well as thanking the nation’s technicians through social media and special advertising/sponsorship opportunities during the week of Sept. 21-25. Join us in celebrating the professionals who keep our nation rolling!

But you need not feel intimidated by this fact, not when there are TMC Mentors to help you through what can be an awkward first meeting. TMC Mentors, each of whom wears a specially designed TMC Mentor Button, are there to help introduce you to TMC members, industry movers and shakers, and other meeting attendees. If you see a TMC Mentor talking to a first-timer in the hallway, you are invited to join in the conversation. Your TMC Mentor will be happy to welcome you in on the discussion!
