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.
TMC’s annual Fleet Talk will provide the opportunity for maintenance and equipment professionals to talk about related equipment problems. During the Town Meeting, the TMC Fleet Operators Forum will give the fleet executives a chance to address unresolved equipment issues they may have with manufacturers.
TMC’s annual Industry Luncheon speaker will be Kenny Vieth, president and senior analyst for ACT Research, where he focuses on the heavy-truck and trailer markets.
