Dear Trucking Industry Professional:
As TMC Executive Director, I invite you to attend the Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2010 Fall Meeting, set for this September 20 to 23 at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, NC. The theme for the meeting is “Quality Control in Maintenance Operations,” and this will be carried out through technical sessions covering management, training, product selection, regulations and the environment.
Study Group sessions will be conducted on a wide range of topics and issues, dealing with, among other things: EPA SmartWay, CSA 2010, EGR maintenance, the new federal brake stopping distances, multimodal wireless connectivity standardization, specialty vehicles and automatic transmission fluids
Included as a regular part of the annual meeting is the Fleet Operator’s Forum, Fleet Talk and Shop Talk — sessions that provide the opportunity for maintenance and equipment professionals to seek redress to equipment problems and exchange information related to equipment problems.
Additional educational opportunities for meeting attendees will be available at the hands-on Technician Training Fair, held in conjunction with TMCSuperTech2010 — TMC’s National Technician Skills Competition.
Now in its sixth year, contestants come from all segments of the trucking industry come to take part in TMCSuperTech — North America’s premier skills competition for professional commercial vehicle technicians. Many are state, regional or corporate champions.
