ATA takes over management of LTL group
ARLINGTON, Va. — The American Trucking Associations announced that it has assumed management of the Distribution and LTL Carriers Association, a Kansas City, Mo.-based organization that represents for-hire trucking companies engaged in less-than-truckload freight shipments and warehousing.
Under an agreement signed by ATA President and CEO Bill Graves and Distribution and LTL Carriers Association Chairman Glen Merkel of Davis Cartage, ATA will provide day-to-day management of the 70 member association effective June 1.
"This agreement has special significance for me because my family business, Graves Truck Line, was a less-than-truckload carrier," ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said.
The Distribution and LTL Carriers Association was formed in 1996 through the consolidation of the Regional and Distribution Carriers Conference and Regular Common Carrier Conference, both of which were founded to promote the interests and profitability of their trucking company members.
