">What is now arguably the most important annual North American truck show kicked off yesterday in Atlanta as the 2018 Technology & Maintenance Council's Spring meeting got under way with a slew of press conferences and product announcements. The meeting will run through this Thursday, March 2, 2018 and include a host of fleet maintenance sessions detailing best practices, as well as seminars on emerging technology, safety and legislative issues.
TMC has been the leading voice of North American fleet professionals since its founding in 1957. And for many years, its Spring and Fall meetings were largely filled with technical sessions on commercial vehicle systems and maintenance practices geared toward professional engineers who manage truck fleets.
Over the past decade, as larger fleets have become the dominant force driving trucking today, TMC has grown and expanded its offerings to include a vibrant trade show floor for industry exhibitors, the SuperTech technician contest, which draws contestants from all across the country competing for cash and prizes, and seminars detailing the latest legislative and technology trends – as well as its focus on in-depth maintenance and trouble-shooting sessions aimed at keeping fleets up and running.
TMC's Recommended Practices handbook remains the industry's maintenance Bible, spilling over with detailed diagnostic, trouble-shooting and repair information for virtually every commercial vehicle maintenance issue imaginable.
The coming days will see big product announcements and news from major industry players such as Mack, Volvo, Navistar, Meritor, Eaton, Allison, Dana, SAF Holland and the North American Council for Freight Efficiency, as well as emerging technology companies like TMW and Decisiv.
This news will be coupled with TMC's traditional focus on maintenance issues as well as Technical Sessions highlighting current and future industry issues, including:
