    The Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) held its annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition in Orlando, Florida, February 4-7, under the theme “TMC & Trucking: Technology on the Move.” The focus of this year's meeting was helping fleets better meet customer demands and expectations.

    A council of the American Trucking Associations (ATA), TMC is North America's premier technical society for truck equipment, information technology, and logistics professionals.

    Along with sessions covering all aspects of equipment technology and maintenance management, meetings were held on adopting innovations and practices, onboard technology integration, wireless technology, electronic complexity, and possible cutting-edge new technologies that can be expected in the not-too-distant future.

    The Transportation Technology Exhibition featured a wide range and variety of new vehicles, equipment, products, services, accessories, and more, from nearly 315 companies.
