VIRGINIA TRUCKING ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONVENTION
The Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront - Virginia Beach, VA
September 15 – 17, 2019
Come celebrate the successes of the past year and prepare for the challenges ahead!
The Virginia Trucking Association defeated truck-only tolls on Interstate 81 and helped steer negotiations that led to a funding program that, while not perfect, is better than the alternatives presented. We now have to turn our attention important issues facing all of us:
- Representing trucking's interests as decisions are made on projects to improve I-81
- Ensuring trucking's voice is heard during a similar study of how best to make improvements in the I-95 Corridor and how to pay for them.
- Addressing the shortage of qualified drivers.
- Fighting efforts to start Virginia down the path of allowing 91,000 lbs., 6-axle trucks on our interstate highways.
- Protecting carriers involved in crashes in Virginia from being victimized with excessive towing charges.
As the only statewide organization in Virginia dedicated solely to representing the interests of the trucking industry in the Commonwealth, you can rest assured that the Virginia Trucking Association and its premiere trucking fleet and vendor members will lead the way in dealing with these challenges.
We hope you will attend the VTA's 2019 Annual Convention to learn more about the challenges we face and the issues impacting your business, network with your industry peers and customers and have some fun!
We look forward to seeing you in Virginia Beach!
