More than 200 refrigerated trucking executives will meet July 9 – 11 at Lake Tahoe for the 20th annual meeting of the Truck Carriers Assn.’s Refrigerated Division.

Dean England, division chairman, has selected "Finding Peak Performance in a Niche Industry" as this year's theme. Temperature-controlled trucking continues to strive to find ways to increase profits and reduce costs to levels expected in a niche industry.
The program will include a variety of workshops as well as two general sessions. The first general session will focus on a special panel of shippers discussing trailer security, dock time and the new hours of service regulations.
A market update of refrigerated trucking will also be presented. The second general session will cover a carrier perspective of how refrigerated carriers can operate more efficiently, and tips on how to create the sweet deal for both the customer and the trucking company. TCA's chairman, Clifton Parker, will also provide an update on TCA activities.
The meeting will offer time to take advantage of the many networking opportunities through evening social functions and the annual golf tournament. To register, visit www.truckload.org and click on "events."
