The American Trucking Associations has assumed management of the Distribution and LTL Carriers Association, a Kansas City, Mo.-based organization that represents for-hire trucking companies engaged in local, regional and inter-regional 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.

Robert Farrell, executive director of ATA's Automobile Carriers Conference, will serve as president and secretary of Distribution and LTL, which will continue to operate as an independent organization.

Farrell said the organization will focus its efforts on providing value to current and potential members by promoting new and affordable technologies to family-owned trucking companies, promoting best practices and providing important networking opportunities.
