GRAPEVINE, Texas — Shepard Dunn, president of Bestway Express Inc., in Vincennes, Ind., has been voted in as chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association at the group’s 76th annual convention here this week.

Driver recruiting and trucking’s efforts to burnish its image are getting top billing at the annual Truckload Carriers Association meeting this week in Grapevine, Texas.

The Truckload Carriers Association is scheduled to gather next month in Las Vegas for its 75th annual convention against the backdrop of rising fuel prices, tepid freight demand and chronic driver issues.
