Raleigh, North Carolina – Today, �Ӱɴ�ý’ Technology & Maintenance Council opened TMC’s 2024 Fall Meeting & National Technician Skills Competitions here at the Raleigh Convention Center.

“Skilled technicians, like the ones competing at TMCSuperTech, keep our industry moving,” said �Ӱɴ�ý President and CEO Chris Spear. “TMC’s leadership sets important standards at a time when the technology in our trucks has grown increasingly complex, and the Fall Meeting provides a great opportunity to chart the course for trucking at this critical point in time.”

This year’s theme is “Winning Strategies for Operational Success” and features TMC’s customary slate of educational sessions, task force meetings, technical sessions and management sessions. ��Additionally, the event will include the Council’s multi-track professional and student technician competitions.

The week kicks off with TMCSuperTech 2024. TMC’s Technician & Educator Committee is welcoming more than 100 techs to compete one of two tracks in Raleigh — professional and student. TMCSuperTech 2024 will feature tracks for professional vehicle technicians. TMCFutureTech will test post-secondary graduate students. The competitions showcase the high degree of skill and knowledge shown everyday by trucking industry technicians. It is trucking’s only industry-wide competition dedicated both to honoring technician professionalism.

“For nearly seven decades, TMC has worked to raise professional and technical standards for the trucking industry,” said TMC Executive Director Robert Braswell. “This fall meeting is an important part of that – not just to test the nation’s best technicians – but to have the opportunity to discuss and learn about the latest advances in truck technology in our myriad of task forces and educational sessions.”

“We’re excited to be focusing on quality control in our 2024 Fall Meeting agenda,” said TMC General Chairman and Treasurer Amanda Schuier, strategic maintenance director at Jetco Delivery. “It is an essential topic to consider when discussing the pressing technical issues of the day and in working together to improve truck technology.”
