T M C S u p e r Te c h 2 0 16 S P EC I A L R E P O R T TECHNOLOGY & MAINTENANCE COUNCIL July 1, 2016 Dear Trucking Industry Professional: As TMC Executive Director, I invite you to attend the Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2016 Fall Meeting, Sept. 18-22, at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, N.C. Once again, TMC’s Fall Meeting features a strong slate of educational sessions for equipment professionals, as well as a host of activity geared for truck technicians. The theme of TMC’s 2016 Fall Meeting — Crafting Maintenance & Technology Solutions — centers around fi nding answers to the environmental, economic and regulatory challenges that face our industry. Many of our educational sessions will address these topics, as explained in the enclosed meeting promotion. In addition, TMC is holding North America’s 12th annual National Technician Skills Competition September 18-21. The event — called TMCSuperTech 2016 — will feature professional commercial vehicle technicians competing for top honors and valuable prizes as they demonstrate their diagnostic abilities through a series of skills stations. Organized by TMC’s Professional Technician Development Committee (PTDC), the TMCSuperTech 2016 competition will start Sunday evening and conclude Tuesday evening. Awards will be given to the top three technicians and skills station winners during Wednesday’s Awards Luncheon. All meeting attendees are welcome during the hands-on skills portion of the contest, so stop by and see what TMCSuperTech 2016 is all about. This year also features our third Student Technician Skills Competition, TMCFutureTech 2016, thanks to the sponsorship of Velociti. In conjunction with TMCSuperTech 2016, the Council is off ering the PTDC Technician Training Fair. The Fair will off er hands-on training sessions in areas such as aftertreatment system maintenance, fi lter technology fundamentals, and fan clutch operation and maintenance. The training fair will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 21. For details, please review the material provided in the enclosed brochure, or visit TMC’s website: http://tmc.trucking.org.
