Distribution & LTL Carriers
Association

Representing America's Full Service Trucking Companies
The Distribution & LTL Carriers Association
 
The Distribution and LTL Carriers Association is a national trade association that represents motor carriers whose operations are mainly less than truckload. The scope of the carriers operations are local delivery, regional and inter-regional. Many of the D&LTL members specialize in overnight and second day deliveries. In addition, numerous carriers provide warehousing in conjunction with their trucking operations.

The current Association, and its predecessor associations, have over sixty years of history successfully representing LTL trucking companies. The current association was formed in 1996 and represents local, regional and interregional carriers.

The Distribution and LTL Carriers Association affords the opportunity for member company executives to collectively gather for the purpose of improving their business management techniques, keeping abreast of the latest developments that have an impact on their operations and learn from each other.

The Associate Members of the association are the leading suppliers to the industry, from the trucks they drive to the software that makes the operations run smoothly.

The Annual Management Conference and Exhibition brings together the top leadership and senior management of the membership. In addition, the exhibit hall offers our associate members and other suppliers the opportunity to display their products and interact with the members in a welcoming environment. The programs during the MC&E are informative and the presentations are by leading industry experts covering the most up to date subjects that are meaningful to operating a successful company. Many of our Associate Members provide vital input into the program.

The re-instituted Educational Management Seminar provides an opportunity not only for senior management, but also for future company leaders, to increase their knowledge in best business practices. The educational programs provide cutting edge information on the latest trends to affect the industry in addition to what tools may be utilized to achieve greater operating efficiencies.
