Truckload Carriers Association Rolls Out Accreditation Program
The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has launched an accreditation initiative for the truckload segment of the motor carrier industry.
The goal of the program is to create a community of individuals who are dedicated to their professional development within the truckload industry, help truckload carriers attract new people to their companies, and create career paths as a retention tool.
Driver iQ, providers of comprehensive and reliable background screening and driver monitoring services to the trucking industry, will be the exclusive sponsor of the certificate and certification programs. Lana Batts, Driver iQ’s co-president and a former president of TCA, will serve as the official spokesperson.
Initially, three certificates are being offered. The Human Resources Certificate provides learners with training in three key subject areas: operations, recruitment and retention, and legal.
The Recruitment Certificate focuses on the key subject areas of driver recruitment, workforce recruitment, and hiring legal challenges.
The Retention Certificate provides training related to increasing driver retention and employee engagement. To earn a certificate, participants must earn 40 continuing education credits, which can come from a wide variety of opportunities offered by TCA (webinars, on-demand training, face-to-face meetings, etc.)
The Fleet Manager Certification Program is intended for fleet managers, driver managers, dispatchers, operations managers, customer service representatives, planners, front-line managers, or similar job functions, who have at least two years of experience in those roles. The program covers business, leadership and communication skills, how to set expectations for drivers, how to use structured coaching to improve performance, how to develop best practices and processes for running a high-performance operations department, and more.
