The American Trucking Associations unveiled a new security council on May 1.The council’s formation reflects the heightened importance of trucking industry security.
The group’s security focus had previously been housed within ATA’s Safety and Loss Prevention Management Council. But because of the growing focus on security, the ATA established a separate entity dedicated solely to trucking security issues and operations.
The council’s mission is to serve trucking industry security through education and training, the exchange of information, interaction between peers, and evaluation and exposure to new technologies.
Brian Shutt, ABF Freight System’s manager of security, will serve as the council’s national chairman.
Curtis Shewchuk, Con-Way Transportation’s director of corporate protective services, will be the council’s first vice chairman. William Downey, the vice president of the Kenan Advantage Group, will be the second vice chairman..
Susan Chandler will serve as executive director. Mike Hodge will be the director of claims and security.
