ORLANDO — American Trucking Associations’ board of directors has elected Dave Manning, president of TCW from Nashville, Tenn., as the federation’s 73rd Chairman.
Manning has been an executive with TCW since 1985 and has been an active member of ATA, chairing ATA’s Intermodal Carrier Conference and working with the Tennessee Trucking Association as chairman of the political action committee. He replaces Kevin Burch, president of Jet Express, in the role.
“It is a tremendous honor to be elected by my fellow ATA members as their chairman for the coming year,” Manning said. “I look forward to continuing the work of immediate past Chairman Kevin Burch, and all my predecessors as we work to build a bright future for our industry.”
Manning has also been active in the intermodal transportation industry, serving as the chairman of the Intermodal Association of North America, a board member of the Intermodal Interchange Executive Committee, and chairman of the North American Chassis Pool Cooperative.
“Dave has a strong and steady voice for our industry,” said Chris Spear, ATA president and CEO. “He will be an outstanding representative for our industry and I congratulate him on this honor.”
