MTA has been operating a new version of this driver skills training entity since January of 2024. You’ll want to read all about the cool things happening there.

Holy moly, this is one HOT edition of Tennessee Trucking News!

Our cover profile features details on FMCSA’s National Blueprint and the TAEC Task Force. This task force of key industry stakeholders helped lay the groundwork for this blueprint with their recently released report, “The Fight for Fairness and Safety: Paving the Way for a Trucking Resurgence.”

Inside this edition—and we won’t be releasing the digital version until the printed edition has reached our readers’ desks (so they get to see it first)—is a truly special story about Tennessee Trucking’s Legacy Wall. This story shines a light on members of Tennessee’s trucking family who’ve made transformative contributions to the trucking landscape in the Volunteer state, and points beyond, by our estimation. When you read the story, you’ll see why.

For now, we leave you in suspense. But not for long! Stay tuned!
