Program Overview

Trucking Profitability Strategies is different from most professional programs you might attend. First, its focus is on teaching and learning, and in its compact 10+ actual hours of sessions the goal is to deliver all the impact we can muster that will help trucking leaders perform better. Second, we target a narrow, select audience — the very top levels of trucking management. About half of our attendees are trucking owners, CEOs, chairmen, and presidents and most of the remaining attendees are vice presidents, CFOs, COOs, general managers or individuals marked for senior-level positions. Precise targeting enables us to address topics at a level most beneficial to our audience and not waste time addressing irrelevant issues.

Third, we stick to our three decades old theme — trucking profitability — because it's a topic that will never be obsolete. Nobody has totally mastered this issue. Every topic keys on actions you can take back home to improve your bottom line. Fourth, year-after-year we present the most successful leaders in trucking, the ones with the proven credentials and companies we most envy, to lead the discussions as speakers and panelists. The board wants you to hear from the most profitable, the most innovative, the fastest growing, the best trucking companies in North America.

Fifth, we don't waste your time with long bios, testimonials, late session starts, etc. We start each session on time and try to get right to what you want to learn more about. Sixth, our policy is "no sales solicitation" so attendees can concentrate on learning. Seventh, by choice we keep conference attendance small to facilitate and encourage networking. Eighth, it's not all work. We have a lot of fun — refreshment breaks, cocktail hours, dinners, free time, and humorous discussions. We guarantee you will do a lot of laughing as well as good note taking, and we think it is this ability to help senior executives relax and keep things in perspective that re-energizes them. The bottom line is simple. If you want a well planned crash course on how to build stronger organizations, lead more effectively, and enhance your company's profitability, attend TPS in 2009.

Who Should Attend?

TPS is for serious learners who want to improve their companies and their own leadership and managerial skills. It is a compact 3-day educational experience that draws senior executives from all over North America and from for-hire and private carriers; the LTL and TL sectors; common, contract, and exempt carriage; general commodity and specific commodity transportation; large, medium, and small trucking companies—any part of trucking (View prior attending companies). Due to limited seating capacity and high demand, attendance at TPS is limited to trucking executives. To attend, you must operate your own trucks. That is, you must be an asset based trucking company.

Two of the most often frequently cited benefits are take-home value and exceptional networking opportunities. Trucking leaders come to Athens to learn how to improve themselves and their companies, to think outside the box, to re-energize, and to relax and have fun with friends in the trucking business.
