Keep an eye on your mailbox for your copy in early 2019. As always, the online directory is available to all representatives of active OTA members. A login is required, so contact us to set one up or reset your password. We do realize that data expires… fast! So, if your information is incorrect, email info@ortrucking.org with updates or have the primary rep log into the member portal to edit information in the online directory. Non-OTA Community Events The trucking industry hosts so many events it’s hard to keep track of them all! However, we do have a page dedicated specifically to events pertinent to our membership base. Whether it’s a driver appreciation event, truck show, a conference, or something else, let us know so we can add it to the calendar. You can find the list at www.ortrucking. org/non-ota-community-events. New Board Members During the Annual Convention, OTA also elected new board members and extended terms for some current or existing board members. Welcome Charles Ireland with Ireland Trucking, Ron Riddle with Leavitt’s Freight Service, and David Hopkins with TP Trucking! View the full list on page 3. NW Fleet Safety & NW Fleet Maintenance Certification Classes Third year Northwest Fleet Safety Certification program graduates will be announced at the Safety Conference and NW Fleet Maintenance Certification class graduates—at the Maintenance Fair.
