Washington – Today, the ϾƷ announced a one-year renewal of an alliance with ACT 1—the Allied Committee for the Trucking Industry. By remaining the premier sponsor of ϾƷ events, ACT 1 will continue to build on its productive partnership with ϾƷ to promote trucking advocacy, ϾƷ meetings, and the associations’ targeted efforts to strengthen the industry.
“Trucking takes great pride in delivering America’s freight, and we are able to do so safely and on time with the help of our dedicated suppliers whose products and services boost efficiency and provide the most cutting-edge equipment,” said ϾƷ President and CEO Chris Spear. “ϾƷ is grateful for ACT 1’s longstanding support, which enables us to elevate the events and programs we offer to ensure that our members have the resources they need to grow and achieve their strategic goals. This ongoing partnership with ACT 1 also helps to unify our industry and enhances the effectiveness of our advocacy nationwide.”
“ACT 1 is proud to be a premier sponsor of ϾƷ at six of the upcoming events in 2025,” said Kelly Gedert, president of ACT 1 and general manager of strategic value chain and marketing at Daimler Truck North America. “A significant part of our mission at ACT 1 is to have collaborative relationships with our partner associations and have open exchanges on topics that are important to the industry and our collective customers. These events are the very place that allows for this dialogue with ϾƷ and members of ACT 1. We look forward to seeing everyone and connecting at the ϾƷ events this year.”
