THEY CALL IT GOLF BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER FOUR-LETTER WORDS WERE TAKEN
Register for the Fall Golf event!  Tregaron Golf Course brings a great golfing experience only topped by the fun of hanging with your trucking industry friends.

We'll gather for the annual chairman's reception at the course afterwards and enjoy awesome food and cash prizes for teams and individual efforts.  Funds from the golf event will help support the Nebraska Trucking Foundation which brings scholarships to CDL and Diesel Tech students in Nebraska. 

YOU'LL BE GREATLY INSPIRED AND INFORMED!
The NTA Fall Conference pulled some timely and talented speakers to the 2021 event.  Brian Fleming, an inspirational speaker who knows firsthand what it was like to fight in Afghanistan. He also knows what it's like to face life threatening injuries and overcome.  Chad Richter, attorney at law, will join Crete Carrier's Chris Hilkemann, to discuss the latest employment laws and trends related to trucking. Finally, John Selmer is the new director of the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
