ATA's Technology & Maintenance Council For more than 50 years, TMC has been recognized as trucking’s leading voice on equipment maintenance and the development of relevant industry best practices.

For more than 70 years, TMC’s member-driven Recommended Maintenance and Engineering Practices have been setting the standards that help trucking companies specify and maintain their fleets more effectively. Recommended Practices are developed by the Council’s 2,100+ members who provide input from their vantage points as fleet maintenance managers or industry suppliers of products and services. The result is 2,000+ pages of illustrated, detailed guidelines that serve as the “bible” for fleet maintenance professionals. TMC hosts ATA’s largest annual meeting and trade show and at these gatherings, informative, hands-on technical sessions are offered and Study Groups gather for lively discussions about industry issues of the day. The Council also holds a National Technician Skills Competition (TMCSuperTech) each year, which draws hundreds of the most talented heavy duty mechanics from across North America.

What will the workforce of tomorrow look like in trucking?

The closing session of The AI Summit examined how artificial intelligence is transforming jobs across freight transportation, from dispatch and carrier sales to fleet management and back-office operations. Panelists discussed the skills employees will need, how organizations can prepare for change, and why human expertise will remain essential as AI becomes part of everyday operations. Special thanks to PCS Software, sponsor of The AI Summit.

🌟 Thank you to our Fall Meeting Industry Luncheon keynote speaker, Samantha Thompson, Vice President of Customer Experience at Penske.

Your insights on leadership, innovation, and navigating change gave attendees valuable perspectives they can take back to their organizations. We especially appreciated your perspective on how AI can help create capacity for people to focus on the work humans do best: exercising judgment, building relationships, solving complex problems, and leading through change.
