The TMCSuperTech will be an opportunity to showcase the role of technicians within the industry and offers a chance for them to learn about the latest trends in trucking.

The TMC Fall Meeting will feature technical sessions covering topics like troubleshooting aftertreatment systems, electronic driver vehicle inspections and cybersecurity. It will also include smaller educational sessions on things like recruiting and mentorship to fuel system management and electronic issues.

There will be more than 100 task forces that will meet on opening day to work on recommended practices, information reports and position papers.
