Trucking Research Symposium

American Trucking Associations Foundation will conduct a national trucking research symposium and create a Trucking Research Institute.

"The symposium will develop a detailed agenda for trucking industry research, and the research institute will work to implement that program," said Thomas L. Mainwaring, Foundation chairman.

"The symposium, to be held in the spring of 1987, will involve motor carriers, shippers, competing modes, state highway and transportation oflicials, the academic community, and government," Mainwaring said. "The results of the symposium should benefit all concerned by setting priorities and finding the best way to concentrate limited resources and energy on trucking problems."

Mainwaring noted that "government spends many times more money on research for other transportation modes as it does for trucking.
