Truckload Carriers Association has launched the second year of its Internet-based TCA Supplier Directory, featuring industry-specific product and service listings designed to aid members and trucking community with their purchasing decisions.


The 2009 edition of the guide includes Request for Information functionality, which allows users to contact participating suppliers with a few clicks of a mouse. With a downloadable search application available, the guide also gives TCA members the ability to search for items directly from a small window on their desktops, which makes finding what they need convenient and time-efficient.

Along with the option to purchase a graphically robust company listing, direct web site hyperlink, and e-mail-generation capacity, the guide allows supplier companies to add videos to their listings for a small administrative fee. This feature gives guide users immediate access to video-formatted information and promotions that will help them easily procure products and services specific to their needs.

TCA partnered with MultiView, an Irving, Texas-based publisher of electronic buyer and supplier guides, to develop the TCA Supplier Directory in 2007.

The directory is available through a link on TCA's homepage, www.truckload.org
