Despite Mother Nature’s best attempts to trick us, it is spring, and summer is closer at hand than we realize, and after a long and cold winter…who isn’t excited about that? The PMTC, its members, and the entire Private Trucking Community are always looking forward to the beginning of summer for another reason as well.., it means it is once again time for what many consider to be the best educational and networking value in the Trucking Industry. Mark the dates of June 17th and 18th in your calendar, and be sure to head towards King City to attend the PMTC Annual Conference at Kingsbridge Conference Centre, just North of Toronto on Highway 400. Our conference is packed with 2 full days of education, awards programs, networking events and an exhibitor’s showcases. The Exhibitors showcase is once again sold out this year! We will also have a new award this year, which will be revealed at the conference just prior to the Chairman’s Dinner…, there will also be an exciting press release about a new Young Leaders Program Initiative.
As part of our conference this year, we have 7 information filled Educational Seminars, The PMTC- Huron Services Hall of Fame Inductions for Professional Drivers, The PMTC-MEE Fleet Safety Awards, the PMTC-3M Fleet Graphics Awards, 2 Exhibitors Showcases,Networking outbreak sessions, plus the Volvo Scotch and Truck Showcase Reception, which is another added networking opportunity, and a chance to see some new trucks on display.
