OTA Inducts New Pioneer and Half Century Members
November 26, 2007
(November 16, 2007) – In conjunction with OTA’s 81st annual convention, long-time trucking industry participants were inducted into the OTA Pioneer and Half Century clubs. The Friday breakfast served as the venue for welcoming members to the Pioneer Club, which recognizes individuals who have 25 or more years of service in the industry, and the Half-Century Club which honours members with 50 or more years involvement in the industry.
“When people think about our industry the first thing that comes to mind is equipment --- trucks and trailers. But what makes this industry special is not its equipment but its people. This is an industry that offers opportunity from the ground up and this year’s inductees to the Pioneer and Half-Century clubs exemplify how a new entrant to our industry can start at an entry level position and work his or her way to the top,” said OTA president David Bradley
The following individuals were welcomed into the OTA Half-Century club:
George Ledson, President Cavalier Transportation Services Inc. Started in industry in 1957 with Inter-City Truck Lines in the Credit Department.
