ATA Forms Advisory Board for Law Enforcement
American Trucking Associations (ATA) has formed a new advisory board to advise the association on ways to grow and strengthen relationships between the trucking industry and law enforcement organizations across the country.
The new Law Enforcement Advisory Board is comprised of ATA members who have previous experience in federal, state and local law enforcement, as well as current and retired law enforcement officials who have contributed positively to the partnership between both groups.

“No two groups have a stronger and more consistent presence on our nation’s highways than law enforcement officers and American truckers,” said ATA President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Spear in a press release. “Therein lies a strategic opportunity for greater collaboration, increased communication and new bonds.”
