Bradley to Step Aside as CTA/OTA Head at End of 2017

TORONTO, ON -- David Bradley will be stepping aside as president and CEO of the Canadian Trucking Alliance and the Ontario Trucking Association at the end of 2017. The announcement, which came Friday from both organizations, gave no reason for his upcoming departure. In a recent letter to OTA Chairman Scott Tilley, Bradley said, "It is with some amazement, but always with appreciation, that I think back on what a leap of faith it was back in 1991 to have entrusted such a young guy to represent such an incredible and important industry." In a letter to CTA chairman Mark Seymour, Bradley expressed similar sentiments. Bradley joined OTA as director of economics in 1985 after starting his career on Bay St. Six years later, at the age of 33, he was promoted to president of the OTA.

The Trucking 20 Under 40

TORONTO, ON -- It is an exciting time in the trucking industry. Our generation is learning so much about this business from the previous -generation, but they too are learning from us. You will read about young people who have the energy, technology-smarts and fresh ideas to change the way we do business. After reading this year's 20 under 40, you will be assured that the future of our industry is in good hands. Something tells me that trucking may already be in my one-year-old son's blood. When I ask him to back up so I can put his shoes on - he moves backwards while saying "Beep ... beep ... beep." Should he choose to join this business and be a part of Today's Trucking's 20 Under 40 in year 2039, I could not be more proud.
