Last October, Jim Ward announced he was retiring as president of the Truckload Carriers Association, a position he held since 2022.
Here are his parting words as he leaves TCA and his successor Jim Mullen takes over:
As I conclude my time as President of the Truckload Carriers Association, I do so with a deep sense of gratitude and confidence in what lies ahead. It has been a privilege to work alongside an exceptional group of leaders and staff who care deeply about this industry and the people who keep it moving.
I am thankful to our officers and Board of Directors for their leadership and thoughtful guidance, which continues to position TCA to advance policies, practices, and partnerships that support carriers of all sizes. I am equally grateful to the TCA staff, whose professionalism and commitment bring that mission to life every day.
Most importantly, I want to thank you, our members. Your engagement is the foundation of everything we do. Your willingness to participate, share your perspective, and speak up for this industry is what allows TCA to serve as the collective voice of the truckload sector.
As TCA moves forward, I encourage you to stay involved and continue contributing to the conversations that shape our industry. Your participation will remain critical to the strength and relevance of this association.
It has been a privilege to spend time working closely with incoming President Jim Mullen to ensure a smooth transition, and I leave knowing the association is in excellent hands. Mr. Mullen's experience, perspective, and commitment to engaging our members will serve TCA well in the years ahead.
Serving as your President has been one of the greatest honors of my career. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your commitment to this industry. I look forward to staying connected and seeing many of you at future TCA events.
