Building on the Fleet Forward theme—beginning with this summer’s intuitive of the same name that aims to educate and inspire operators by highlighting those who are thinking outside the box when it comes to new ways of doing business—this year’s TLPA event focused on empowering attendees with a varied educational program, three General Sessions, a show floor featuring nearly 100 vendors, and plenty of networking and optional events.

The education included 18 interactive sessions and 11 Breakout Sessions, all designed to help operators remain effectively competitive in a constantly evolving market. Topics ranged from social media to diversity and catered to all facets of ground transportation and operators of all sizes from all around the world.
