Compliance and Regulatory News
This is a reminder from the Air Resources Board (ARB) that fleets subject to the Truck and Bus Regulation that are using flexibility options with reporting requirements must annually update their information in the Truck Regulation Upload, Compliance, and Reporting System (TRUCRS).
Every winter season creates challenges for our industry and the trucks that have to travel over California's high elevation mountain passes in order to make their deliveries. With the 2016-2017 winter months rapidly approaching, I'd like to call your attention to the Pusher Truck Program, one of the many CTA member benefits that makes a difference for hundreds of trucking companies each year as they pass the tough mountain climb on Interstate 80.

In addition to our top notch line up of speakers and panelists, join us at the General Session Lunch of Saturday, January 21 for a presentation on leadership by Dr. Steven Swafford titled Leadership Lessons from Music Festivals to Subway Stairs. Dr. Swafford asks: What leadership behavior can we observe from a favorite music festival or walking up the subway or metro stairs? This fast-paced session will investigate these leadership behaviors and how they emerge when we least expect it. After the session, four popular leadership myths will be busted and the four essential characteristics of strengths-based leadership explored.
