Compliance & Regulatory Affairs (CRA) Q3 Meeting 2025

Hot Topics for Our Industry

Executive Briefing: Driver Inc. – Misclassification of Employees
Robert Harper, President, AMTA | Ashish Gill, Board Executive | Real Durand, Board Executive
Driver Inc. — the practice of classifying employees as independent contractors — is one of the industry’s most urgent compliance issues. It undermines fair competition, creates unsafe working conditions, and devalues the driver profession. Join AMTA leadership to hear how we’re tackling this challenge through advocacy, enforcement collaboration, and industry education.

Emissions Regulations & Vocational Truck Industry
Ganesh Srinivasan, Fleets Account Executive, Cummins Inc.
Upcoming federal emissions rules are reshaping truck availability, costs, and specifications. This session will outline what’s changing, what’s being lobbied, and how your fleet’s purchasing decisions may be affected. If you’re planning to order trucks in the coming years, this update is essential.

Note: Attendance requires AMTA Carrier, Subsidiary, or Elite Supplier Membership.
