Coaching
Do you or your management
team need some training?
OTA has partnered with Impact Training Solutions
to bring you a year-long program to take your

OSHA App
Coming Soon…
In October, OTA launched a series of free trucking
related OSHA Awareness classes across Oregon.
The Portland class had such a high demand that we
added two more classes in December to
accommodate the influx of requests! For those
who couldn’t attend, OTA is also developing a free
downloadable app in conjunction with the
program, and it will be available to the public.
Keep an eye out for an announcement in our
Express Newsletter and website.
OTA’s Makeover
Photo Contest
A few months ago we requested professional camera
grade, truck-related photos from our members for
canvas prints in our freshly painted office. We
would like to thank everyone for their submissions,
but would like to specifically recognize Kristine
Kennedy of Highway Heavy Hauling as the winner
of our photo contest. She will receive a $50 gift card,
and her photo, “A Gorgeous Day to be Hauling” will
be printed on a 20x30 canvas to hang in our office.
Congratulations!
Although the contest is over, we are always looking
for great new and antique photos to display in our
office and on our online and printed platforms.
Please reach out to the OTA team with your ideas
(space may be limited).
