The Vendor Expo allows my company, TruckPaper, to get in front of hundreds of our customers. This year’ Convention will be different, of course, as it’s being held virtually. Even so, network- ing and learning opportunities will also be a vibrant part of this Convention. This past year has been special for me because I was elected to the UTA Board of Directors in 2019. It’s an honor to be a part of the UTA Board because members are selected by the entire UTA membership. The UTA Board is a great group of people, who you get to know on a personal level. You work with them directly to find the right solutions for the many issues that come up. All this is made easier because the UTA feels like a family. I’m looking forward to the insights I can bring to the Board and other UTA members based on my nearly 15 years in the industry, including my invaluable years with Truck Paper. For now, I’d like to share some advice for dealers selling online today, something they’re doing more than ever. And that is the need to provide as much information as you can about the vehicle you’re selling, including engine, transmission type, mileage, and more. Putting a price on the vehicle is a must. In closing, I’d like to thank the UTA membership for choosing me to serve on the Board of Directors. n Michelle Ober [email protected] 3 UTA’s Virtual Convention continued from page 1 The Scholarship Committee announced that the Board approved the awarding of seven $6,000 scholarships this year. All the applicants were characterized as “strong deserving, candidates.” The winners, who we will profile in a future newsletter were Justin Boggs, Sabai Gardecki, Kennedy Kosic, Taylor Pearson, Cardon Riddle, Jolie Turner, and Brenden Williams. The Used Truck Marketplace Looking at how 2020 has gone so far, it was gratifying to see all of the presentations by Steve Tam, Josh Giles, and Chris Visser (all industry experts) painting a picture of a much-improved sales environment. It some cases the numbers exceeded expectations (such as Chris Visser’s observa- tion that September saw 5.6 trucks sold per dealership rooftop, the highest tally since March 2018). We are also rebounding from the depreciation in prices saw in March-June. Economic Outlook Chris Kuehl, noted economist, gave a relatively positive outlook for 2020 and 2021 as the econo- my improves and truck sales rebound. Marketing There were several informative and timely presentations on selling trucks virtually, as well as best practices for marketing them. Doug Shields, for example, explained that while there are challenges to selling virtually the technology that’s needed is already in place. Doug sees a lot of salespeople not using this technology, and instead using technology that we all used 20 years ago. Michelle Ober discussed the importance of leveraging video and how to do that. (For example, keeping videos under a minute, posting them to YouTube, and creating your own YouTube channel.) She also gave some best practices for advertising inventory through photos (pay attention to the background, stay in focus, use good lighting, and so on). After Michelle’s comments a video walkaround hosted by Justin Jordon and Tyler Schik was shown that provided valuable tips on communicating your inventory electronically to prospective buyers. Ian Sifuentes followed this up by discussing the importance of digital finance tools such as digital signatures when closing deals remotely. After the Marketing workshop, the LTA award and the 2021 UTA Board were introduced. Finally, the Convention wrapped up with the announcement of our 2021 convention location at the Opryland Hotel and Resort in Nashville, TN. This promises to be a lot of FUN! n Editor’s Note: Elsewhere in this issue we profile Bobby Williams, 2020’s LTA Recipient and also discuss the Individual Member Awards. But we are going to save further discussion of the Con- vention for the next few issues of the newsletter—there was a lot crammed into those four hours! 4 Thanks to Our Sponsors – PRESENTING SPONSORS – Alliance DriveAway Solutions Auction Time/TruckPaper CAG Truck Capital Commercial Truck Trader International Used Truck Centers Kenworth Mission Financial Services Norton Transport Peterbilt Motors Ritchie Bros TruckHunters.com Truckmovers.com – PARTNER LEVEL SPONSORS – 7E Sales, LLC/SWATT Drive Away Services ACT Research Black Book Coldiron Dealer Solutions (DSI) Hess Auctioneers, LLC Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc J & J Driveaway/Auto Driveaway Systems, LLC J.D.

Gordon Lifetime Achievement Award Winner orn into the truck world—his dad was a driver/mechanic—Bobby was surrounded from the Bstart with all-things truck! “My dad owned trucks and had his own repair shop in Joplin, MO,” Bobby said. His first job in trucking was as his father’s “Wash-Boy!” He washed trucks for his dad, his uncle, and even the customers. “The only part of washing trucks I liked was when I got to drive them in and out of the shop!” No wonder, he was eight years old! Bobby Williams’ Remarks on Winning the 2020 Marvin F. Gordon Lifetime Achievement Award Thank you, Doug, for that generous introduc- tion. I’m honored and humbled for this award and recognition. When I first got the call that I was being nomi- nated for the UTA’s Lifetime Achievement Award, I thought, what? I’m grateful that I have colleagues that feel I’m worthy of such an award and thank those that nominated me. I was talking to a young member of the UTA just the other day. He was asking me what he could do to be more successful in this business.

  • Trucking Industry Uses Election Spending and Lobbying Expenditures to Weaken Truck Safety Rules Through Backdoor Riders on Transportation Spending Bills
    June 24, 2015 Trucking Industry Uses Election Spending and Lobbying Expenditures to Weaken Truck Safety Rules Through Backdoor Riders on Transportation Spending Bills Large truck crashes kill 4,000 thousand Americans every year, and injure nearly 100,000 more at an economic cost of $99 billion. With such a devastating toll of needless death and suffering, the United States urgently needs enhanced truck safety measures. But it’s not stronger truck safety that’s on the Congressional agenda. Shamefully, Congress is instead acting to weaken truck safety standards. If the trucking industry succeeds with its investment of $78 million in congressional lobbying and campaign money since 2012 as this report reveals, the public will be paying even more with their lives and their wallets. On June 9, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an appropriations rider that would roll back a series of truck safety rules; similar life-threatening provisions are now under consideration in the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, which will consider them at a committee markup Thursday, June 25. These measures are not being passed through the normal process. They are not being considered in the committees of jurisdiction; they are not being passed after or in response to committee investigation and oversight; they are not evidence-driven in any way. Instead, they are moving as policy riders – incorporated as extraneous matters into must-pass Transportation Department spending bills. There is only one way to understand this Congressional action: With their campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures, big freight companies have leveraged their financial power to win legislative objectives to increase their profits.

  • Women in Trucking Association Holds 7Th Annual ˝Salute to Women Behind
    Women In Trucking Association Holds 7th Annual “Salute to Women Behind the Wheel" The Women In Trucking Association, Inc. prepares to honor hundreds of female professional drivers at its seventh annual "Salute to Women Behind the Wheel" celebration held during the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky on April 2nd. Plover, WI (PRWEB) February 29, 2016 -- Although the trucking industry continues to be a male dominated business, more women are becoming drivers, technicians, managers, and owners. The Women In Trucking Association’s mission is to encourage and support these pioneers and to help address the challenges they face as a minority. The mission of the organization is to also celebrate the success of its members. The “Salute to Women Behind the Wheel” is an annual ceremony to honor female drivers and recognize them for their service. Any female professional driver is welcome to attend and will be honored on Saturday, April 2, at the Mid-America Trucking Show at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The celebration begins at 11:00 am on the second floor of the South Wing (rooms C201-204) with exhibitors, music, goodie bags for the female drivers, and the WIT signature chocolate fountain. This year we’re adding a butterscotch fountain along with a huge tractor-trailer-shaped cake. Kari Rihm, President and CEO Rihm Kenworth and winner of the 2015 “Influential Woman in Trucking” Award, will address the group and honor the female drivers for their service. Rihm took over Rihm Kenworth, a family-owned business since 1932, after the passing of her husband in 2010.
