There are those who are frustrated with the situation they find themselves in but never seem to participate in working towards a solution. Here at BCTA, we have a diverse group of business people determined to work together to discover and encourage solutions for the betterment of the entire road transport industry.
BCTA needs you to participate, whether you are part of a large national carrier, a small provincial trucking firm or a local motor coach operator. Our positive interactions with regulatory officials and other stakeholders continue to grow, and we need your voice to not only bring forward concerns but also be part of creating solutions.
To members who are already active, we can’t do it without you. For those who aren’t yet, we encourage all members to get involved and work together to provide solutions that benefit us all.
If you are not a member of BCTA, please consider joining the association, step up to participate in our many committees and consider joining the Board down the road.
Our company has been a member of the association for decades now, and I’ve personally been involved in BCTA for the past dozen years or so. I’ve never regretted it. I’ve learned so much from networking with the leaders of this industry and feel very honoured to serve as the Chairman of this great association for the next couple of years.
