OTA Dispatch Issue 4 2017

EVENTS In-Cab Cameras, Transportation Research Topics, and Total Worker Health. Guest speakers included Amy Ramsdell with ODOT’s Motor Carrier Transportation Division and ATA’s very own President and charismatic presenter, Chris Spear who discussed trucking from a national perspective. We also held a legislative panel regarding the 2017 Transportation Package where attendees were encouraged to ask questions. During OTA’s Annual Meeting & Elections, Bart Sherman with Sherman Brothers Trucking “passed the torch” to new chair Diane DeAutremont, the first OTA chairwoman! Congratulations! We look forward to working with Diane, and moving the Association to the next level! Members had an opportunity to learn about new products and services offered by allied members before heading over to the Awards & Recognition Banquet. Delicious food and a jazz duo were not the only highlights of the evening. OTA President, Jana Jarvis announced the winner for Carrier Member of the Year—Tom Campbell with FedEx Ground and Allied Member of the Year, Mike Boyd with R H Sheppard Co. Congratulations to both on your continued dedication to OTA and the trucking industry! Have ideas for next year’s Leadership Convention? As we plan for 2018, we want you to get involved!
