CMCA Celebrates Drivers

As part of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, the CMCA Safety Management Council will be providing box lunches and giveaways to drivers on Wednesday September 13^th.

This will happen at both the Dumont and Fort Collins Ports of Entry. Please encourage your drivers to enter the port if they are passing by between 10:30am – 2:00pm (or whenever we run out of lunches).

Thank you to our sponsors & donors – Great West Casualty Company, Flood & Petersen, Joe Morten & Son and Acuity Insurance for helping us make this event possible.

Are you celebrating your drivers? Let CMCA know what you are doing so we can help spread the word!

Trucking Industry Asked to Rank Top Concerns

Washington, D.C. – The American Transportation Research Institute, the trucking industry’s not-for-profit research organization, today launched the 2023 Top Industry Issues Survey. The annual survey asks trucking industry stakeholders to rank the top issues of concern for the industry along with potential strategies for addressing each issue.

“I encourage my fellow drivers to take a few minutes and complete ATRI’s Top Industry Issues Survey. Whether your top issue is truck parking, driver compensation, detention, traffic congestion or something else, it only takes a few minutes to make your voice heard and for us collectively to let the industry know what drivers are most concerned about,” said Ken Duncan, an America’s Road Team Captain and professional truck driver for Walmart Transportation.

Industry stakeholders are encouraged to complete the 2023 survey available by clicking here. The survey will remain open through September 29, 2023.
