The American Trucking Associations, along with ATA’s Intermodal Motor Carrier Conference, unveiled the newest member of the ATA image fleet — the IMC Truck.
“We are thrilled that ATA’s newest truck will be helping to spread our safety message and burnish trucking’s image from coast to coast,” said Chris Spear, ATA president and CEO. “This new addition will enable us to further educate the public about the indispensable role of truck drivers, their commitment to safety and how intermodal carriers play an integral part of our lives, bringing the world to our door.”

“Our trucks play a vital role in expanding our reach to schools and image events across the country,” Spear said. “This year alone, our trucks have been seen by over 100,000 people and have participated in more than 50 events in approximately 30 states.”
