TRUCKLOAD CARRIERS ASSOCIATION
Operational efficiency, industry awareness, public policy, recruitment and retention - common issues for an uncommon industry. The challenges faced by truckload demand solutions developed from a unique perspective...yours. TCA makes that happen.
Younger DriversRegulatory Policy Committee Chairman Troy Robertson Con-way Truckload TCA supports, in principle, the authorization by the Federal Highway Administration of carefully structured experimental programs for use of younger drivers (18-20), in transportation other than bulk transportation of hazardous materials as defined in the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, provided that such drivers have been carefully screened, received quality training from a school or training program certified by the Professional Truck Driver Institute of America, and will be closely supervised and monitored by a motor carrier which has a "satisfactory" safety rating and such other approvals and requirements deemed essential by FHWA.
