The Truckload Carriers Association has redesigned its web site at www.truckload.org.

The site offers an enhanced search navigation system as well as a number of new features, including:

• Industry Headlines: In conjunction with the trucking industry trade press, TCA will highlight weekly news about issues affecting the truckload segment of the industry.

• * Information Center: Through TCA's new Information Center, visitors will be able to access substantial articles and other resource materials relating to trucking safety, technology, management, shipper/receiver relations, equipment/fuel, loss prevention, insurance, and other issues affecting truckload carriers.

• E-Roundtables: Accessible under the "Members Only" section, TCA members will be able to subscribe to 24-hour E-Roundtables and engage in a peer-to-peer forum (via e-mail) to discuss timely topics affecting their operations, including: recruitment and retention, small carrier issues, technology, next generation, and shipper/receiver "Just in Time to Wait" issues.

• Truckload Carrier Report: TCA's biweekly newsletter, The Truckload Carrier Report, is now accessible to any visitor on the site. (Previously, it was available only to TCA members through the Members-Only section).

• Online Forms/Secure Credit Cards: Web visitors can now fill out a number of TCA forms online, including applications to join the association, apply for a scholarship, advertise on the website, and nominate a truck driver for recognition as a Highway Angel. In cases when a credit card is required, payment information is now secure.
