More trucking executives attended the ATA Management Conference & Exhibition (MCE) last year than ever before. This year, registration is once again breaking records. We hope you will join us.

MCE 2015, which will take place on October 17-20 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, will provide solutions to some of the most challenging issues facing trucking executives, including:

• Driver Recruitment: The industry needs 40,000 more drivers to meet capacity demands. Where can your company find the drivers you need?
• Truck Design and Technology in the Future: Throughout the years, advances in truck design, equipment, and technology have been driving forces behind the success of our industry. What are the next big innovations that will transform the way fleets accomplish their work?
• Safety Benchmarking: How much effort and money do trucking companies invest in safety? How does your company stack up?
• Driver Retention: How can you create a company culture that improves driver retention?
• Federal Regulations: What happens in D.C. affects every fleet. What key Federal regulations will impact your company’s operations and profitability?

In addition, General Stan McChrystal, Former Commander of U.S. & International Forces in Afghanistan, will present “Lessons in Leadership” at the 2015 ATA Management Conference & Exhibition (MCE). General McChrystal will also discuss the benefits of hiring veterans. The session is sponsored by Shell LNG.
