ATA’s Graves: Trucking’s “transformational moment” Quote: LAS VEGAS. In his opening address at the annual American Trucking Assns. (ATA) Management Conference & Exhibition, president & CEO Gov. Bill Graves told a packed hall that the trucking industry is facing a “transformational moment,” which is being shaped by “a national political and economic transformation and a global population transformation.” “Whether you liked the outcome of the 2008 elections or not, the policy and regulatory reach of the federal government into your business will surely increase over the next 5 to 10 years,” Graves said. “Monday you will be struggling to understand a new OSHA [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] requirement. Tuesday, EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] will be checking one of your facilities for some level of potential contaminates. Wednesday, the FMCSA [Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration] will be auditing to assure the highest level of safety. Thursday, the HHS [Health and Human Services] will be reviewing your contagious diseases action plan…. And Friday the EEOC [Equal Employment Opportunity] will be conducting a survey to make sure that you’re not discriminating against any of your employees.” http://fleetowner.com/management/new...l-moment-1006/
