RTA was an exhibitor at the recent Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. Managing Director Harvey Brodsky was in the RTA booth pressing the flesh for three days.
"I spoke to hundreds of truckers, both company drivers and owner-operators, and I am delighted to report that I had fewer than five negative comments about retreads," he says. "We have come a long way!"
RTA was formed in October 2010. For more information on RTA membership, e-mail Brodsky at [email protected].
