This one day conference hosted by Wolfe Trahan Auto & Truck Manufacturing Analyst Tim Denoyer and Airfreight & Surface Transportation Analysts Ed Wolfe & Scott Group is a question and answer roundtable forum with 10–15 truck OEMs, suppliers, public and private trucking company managements, and other truck industry insiders. The forum is being held in conjunction with the American Trucking Associations’ (ATA) Annual Management Conference and Exhibition, at the Gaylord Texan Convention Center in Grapevine, TX. Our event is not affiliated with the ATA’s conference, but this annual gathering of public and private trucking managements provides a prime opportunity to meet with many company managements in one location and gain great insight into the current state of the truck environment.
