The Tennessee Trucking Association (TTA) recently released its Spring 2013 newsletter, the Tennessee Trucking News. Why is this such a big deal to us, you ask? Well, besides the fact that the TTA is always publishing great content, each quarterly edition spotlights a different TTA member. This issue just so happens to feature personal trivia about our very own President & CEO, Jeremy Reymer!

I’m honored to have been chosen to present on the topic of Driver Recruitment & Retention at the NATERA 2012 Annual Conference in St. Petersburg Beach, FL October 21-23.
With the existing driver shortage environment, driver recruitment and retention has been an especially pressing issue for many fleets. I’ve had the privilege to present on this same topic to the Safety Councils of the Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky Trucking Associations.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be anything on the horizon that will fundamentally change the dire forecast that the trucking industry will experience a driver shortage of epic proportions as early as 2014 – and that’s assuming we continue to have a tepid economic recovery at best.
I’m only one of a great number of speakers on a wide variety of important transportation-related topics. Presenters include Charlie Cook, respected authority on U.S. elections and political trends; Steve O’Kane, President of A. Duie Pyle; R. Bruce Josten, Executive VP of Government Affairs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and Noel Perry, leading industry consultant and Economist with FTR Associates.

NATERA
The North American Transportation Employee Relations Association ("NATERA") is a national association established to provide a forum for the creation, exchange and dissemination of ideas and information concerning human resources and labor relations matters, issues, regulations, legislation and current laws.
The objectives of the organization are:
1. To enhance the productivity of all employees in the transportation industry.
2. To minimize the risk of financial loss resulting from uninformed employment decisions.
3. To enhance the employment environment for all employees in the transportation industry resulting in an image which will attract the highest quality of employees.
4. To promote, encourage and contribute to the attainment of the highest degree of professionalism by transportation executives and management personnel.
NATERA is the sum of all its parts: labor relations, personnel, human resources, industrial relations, legal counsel, as well as other executives and management personnel in the trucking industry.By understanding NATERA's purpose and objectives we hope every trucking professional will consider this an open invitation to join the Association. As with any trade organization whose principle aim is to serve its members, NATERA will become as strong as its members make it.

DRIVE ON! The Challenging Road to Recovery is the theme for this year's Ohio Trucking Association (OTA) Annual Convention.
If you’re within 100 miles of Cincinnati September 16-18, this is a MUST ATTEND event. You’ll hear from the FMCSA Administrator Anne Ferro, receive updates on CSA, and get a “State of the Industry” from Dan England, Chairman of C.R. England, and this year’s ATA Chairman.
You don’t even have to be a member of the OTA to attend – in fact, it’s a great way for non-members to learn more about the Association before joining.
The 2-day event will be held at the Kingsgate Marriott Conference Center at the University of Cincinnati ($99/room rate). Registration for the Convention is only $295 (members) and $395 (non-members).
As an active member of the OTA, I highly recommend getting involved. Attending this year’s Convention is a great first step. The education, relationships, and political advocacy that the OTA provides make it an incredible value.
All OTA Convention materials are now available online. Follow these links to see more!
I hope to see you in The Queen City!

It's time to celebrate professional truck drivers! National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, held September 16-22, is a chance to extend a special “thank you” for all their hard work.
Recent statistics show that there are over 3.1 million professional truck drivers nationwide – delivering the goods U.S. consumers need every day of the year. Logging over 398 billion miles per year, trucks deliver nearly 67 percent of total U.S. freight tonnage. Professional truck drivers are more essential to the national economy than ever before, and they’re delivering their loads safely and professionally.
It’s no secret that the backbone of this dynamic industry is its drivers. Driving a truck is one of the country’s most demanding and essential jobs. Millions of these dedicated men and women travel the roads every day, sacrificing a lot personally to deliver the freight that keeps the country moving. They miss birthdays, anniversaries, family dinners, school plays and many other special moments that most of us take for granted.
During National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW), America and the trucking industry honors and recognizes all professional truck drivers for their hard work and commitment to the vital role they play in the economic growth of North America. Companies and industry associations across the U.S. and Canada will host special events and promotions in honor of professional truck drivers.
NTDAW allows the rest of us to recognize and appreciate the sacrifices that our drivers make every day out on the road. Be sure to let the men and women driving those trucks down the highway know it’s appreciated. Sometimes a little gratitude goes a long way.
Thank you drivers for a job well done!
