ATLANTA, March 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, American Trucking Associations' Technology & Maintenance Council opened the doors on a sold out exhibit hall as part of TMC's 2018 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition.

"We are pleased to welcome more than 4,500 attendees to this exhibit hall and annual meeting," said Robert Braswell, TMC executive director. "TMC's Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition experienced strong growth in 2018, and remains a premier destination for manufacturers and suppliers. Our meeting is one of the few times that key industry decision makers and technology providers can come together and demonstrate the latest advances in trucking and it remains an event that ATA and TMC's members should take pride in."

This year's exhibit features more than 400 vendors cutting across all aspects of the trucking industry, representing a total sell out of TMC's exhibit space. The grand opening of the Exhibit Hall was sponsored by ATA Featured Product provider Spireon Inc.

"For more than six decades, TMC has worked to raise professional and technical standards for the trucking industry," said TMC General Chairman Glen McDonald, director of maintenance at Ozark Motor Lines Inc. "This annual meeting is an important part of that – not just to see what is available in the field on the exhibit hall floor – 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."

TMC's 2018 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition, presented by premier sponsor the Allied Committee for the Trucking Industry, ACT1, is open through Thursday, and registration is open at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
