TRUCKING’S TECHNOLOGY MARKETPLACE

That’s what TMC’s 2017 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition delivers. From brakes to bearings, from scanners to software, ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council’s Study Groups and Task Forces cover it all. This is the technology marketplace for the trucking industry and you’re invited to participate.

TMC is dedicated to working cooperatively toward industry best practices, and the results are evident in recent accomplishments, including the development of recommended maintenance and engineering practices in the areas of:• DieselExhaustFluid(DEF)• CounterfeitPartsIdentification• CorrosionControl• Fleet/ServiceProviderCommunications• ElectronicOnboardRecorderPerformance

Guidelines

As an exhibitor in 2017, your company shares in a more than 60-year heritage that has become TMC’s Transportation Technology Exhibition. From a small equipment forum for the trucking industry in the 1950’s, TMC has grown to become the premier technical exhibition for new trucking-related products and services. This is a must-attend show at which smart suppliers access the industry’s leading equipment purchasers! TMC looks forward to you joining us at trucking’s complete technology trade show this February in Nashville, Tennessee. See you there!

“Any transportation maintenance professional – no matter the size of his or her fleet–will gain from TMC membership and meetings. The industry networking opportunities, knowledge gained, from not only sharing ideas with peers, but having access to the ‘who’s who’ in the transportation sector from both the fleet side and the supplier side alike, is incredible. Like all organizations, what you put into it is what you get out!”

Steph Sabo, president Fast Truck & Trailer (TMC member since 1999)

TMC’s 2017 Transportation Technology Exhibition!

TMC’S OFFICIAL DECORATOR TMChasappointedTheFreemanCompanies,astheofficialdecoratingcompanyforTMC’s2017AnnualMeetingandTransportation Technology Exhibition.

“There is no other meeting where a fleet manager can find so many answers to their questions and opportunities to network with peers who face the same challenges or already have a solution to an issue that they are willing to share. Along with the knowledge you gain from other fleet managers, there is no other meeting that I know of that both manufacturers and vendors are represented by not only senior sales staff, but also the engineers that helped design and test these products they represent. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from the other members of this organization and over the years acquired a lot of life long friends.”

– David Foster, Vice President of Maintenance, Premier Transportation (TMC member since 1990).

TMC’s 2017 Annual Meeting Information

Few issues are changing transportation’s calculus as much as the movement toward alternative fuels. Some estimatesputthesalesofnaturalgasvehiclesaloneatone-thirdoftheClass8truckmarketin2020.ThefederalEnergyInformationAdministration estimates global sales for natural gas heavy trucks at 275,000 units in 2035, up from a mere 860 in 2010.

Coupledwithsalesofdiesel-hybridelectric/hydraulicvehicles,fuel-cellpoweredtrucksandothertechnologies,thetrucking industry is in for major changes.

The pressure on fleets to adopt alternative fuel technologies is coming from two directions: increasingly stricter localregulationsandperhapsanevengreaterforce–thecustomer.ConsumerproductsgiantProctor&Gamblehassaiditwill award freight to fleets using natural-gas powered trucks for as much 20 percent of its nationwide network. Food giantGeneral Mills has similar requirements for its carrier base.

The 2017 TMC exhibit will provide one-stop shopping for the busy fleet executive who wants to quickly get up to speed onall segments of the alternative fuels market. Mid-range trucks will be included as well.

Maintenance and purchasing executives will ultimately be charged with developing the proper spec’s and making the rightdecisions for alternative fuels appropriate to their fleet. Make sure your company gets in front of the right audience byreservingaspotinTMC’s2017AlternativeFuelsPaviliontoday.
