President, WV Trucking Association

President's Message

As President of the West Virginia Trucking Association, I’m honored to represent the professional men and women who keep our state—and our economy—moving. From the interstates to the last mile, trucking delivers for West Virginia’s families, manufacturers, retailers, and communities every single day.

Our priorities are clear:

  • Safety first. We champion practical, data-driven safety initiatives, support professional driver training, and partner with law enforcement and public agencies to keep every road user safe.
  • Strong advocacy. We are your voice at the Capitol and in Washington—working for sensible regulations, modern infrastructure, fair enforcement, and a business climate where carriers and allied partners can grow.
  • Industry community. WVTA is where West Virginia’s carriers, suppliers, and partners connect—sharing best practices, solving problems, and celebrating the people behind the wheel.

This year, we’re elevating our focus on combating human trafficking, strengthening workplace safety and active-threat preparedness, and helping members navigate evolving technology—from cybersecurity to new compliance tools. We’re also expanding training opportunities and continuing to recognize outstanding drivers and fleets who set the bar for safety and service.

Whether you operate one truck or a statewide fleet, there’s a place for you at WVTA. If you’re a member—thank you for your leadership and support. If you’re not yet a member, we’d love to welcome you. Together, we can build a safer, smarter, and more prosperous future for trucking in West Virginia.
