Be nice to see this organization to something to help the industry and those that work in it for a change. Nice work on helping buck more regulations and imposed operating costs this past year…..oh thats right…..they didnt.
They want to send small business to the dust bin of history. When in essence thats where the ota and cta should be. Have been around long past their usefullness. And have become just a lobbying organization in lock step with the governemnt forcing more red tape down everyones throats. Feel free to post below what this organization has done for the drivers, small fleets, independents and support staff in recent history. Arguably the answer is nothing…
