FleetForce Is a Disruptor and
Tra Williams Is Its Chief Change Agent!
“In 2020, Tra Williams entered the industry and turned all of the existing paradigms upside down.
"Tra set out to rewrite that script by asking a deceptively simple question: What if an employer stopped hunting for drivers on the open market and started growing them from within their own walls, entirely on their own terms, and without sacrificing operational momentum?”
— Chris Dudley, partner, The Southern Group
Florida Trucking Association’s newest edition of Florida Truck News goes in depth on FleetForce Truck Driver Training and their change making approach. Their story is exciting, high energy and a must-read. In other words, you’re going to love it.
There’s even more to love in this edition, like coverage of FTA’s Truck Driving Champs G.O.A.T. Grand Champion — again — Miguel Sanchez of UPS and its first Technician of the Year recipient Dustin Perkins of Publix.
Oh, and FTA has a new president & CEO in Scott Perry who took the helm in June and brings with him 30+ years of rich and steep history in transportation, logistics and technology. Things in Florida are movin’ and shaking’ and y’all, it’s contagious!
Printed copies distribute next week. Digital versions shortly thereafter. You won’t want to miss it!
