& Maintenance Council's 2021 Fall Meeting, Sept. 12-16, at the Huntington Convention

Orange County Conv. Center
The theme of TMC's 2021 Fall Meeting - Mastering the New Realities of
Maintenance Management - centers around finding answers to the environmental,
economic, cybersecurity and regulatory challenges that face our industry. Many of
our educational sessions will address these topics, as explained in our fall meeting
promotion. Moreover, this year's fall meeting will also feature the Council's
Transportation Technology Exhibition - trucking's complete technology tradeshow -
featuring technical experts from the industry's top manufacturers and suppliers.
In addition, TMC's National Technician Skills Competition returns for 2021,
albeit in an abbreviated format due to space and distancing limitations. The event -
TMCSuperTech 2021 - will feature a one-day, one-track competition for heavy-duty,
trailer, and light/medium vehicle technicians. The event showcases our industry's
commercial vehicle technicians, who will compete 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), TMCSuperTech 2021
will take place on Sunday, September 12 and feature 10 tabletop stations and a written
test. Awards will be given to the top three technicians and skills station winners during
Wednesday Awards Luncheon. Technicians are welcome to attend all task force meetings,
educational sessions and exhibit viewing periods following the competition on Sunday.
For details, please review the material provided in our meeting brochure, found on
TMC's event website: http://tmcfall.trucking.org. For information, call (703) 838-1763.
On behalf of TMC's Board of Directors, I encourage you to take advantage of this
opportunity and join us at TMC's 2021 Fall Meeting. We look forward to seeing you in
Cleveland!
Sincerely,
Robert Braswell
TMC Executive Director
