About the Event
The National Motor Carrier Weighing & Research Advisory Council consists of a group of W&R professionals from prominent North American LTL carriers. The National Motor Carrier W&R Advisory Council was founded by a group of 25 LTL carrier representatives in February of 1969. The council has historically met twice a year, in the Spring and the Fall, to discuss a variety of topics relating to Weighing and Research. Make plans to attend our upcoming meeting April 19-20, 2023 at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Clearwater Beach, FL.
