Altec Associate Accepted to the TMC Board

Altec Service Fleet Optimization Manager Kenneth Calhoun has been re-elected to the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) Board of Directors and was newly elected to serve as the Vice Chairman and Chairman of Meetings. The TMC is a council under the American Trucking Associations and is focused on improving transport equipment and its maintenance. The TMC develops best practices for the trucking and transportation industry that fleets, OEMs and component suppliers follow throughout North America.

As a member of the Board, Calhoun will use his real world experience to help the TMC continue to improve transportation efficiency and develop best practices for truck maintenance and engineering, which he will continue to share with Altec associates to benefit customers. Calhoun emphasizes that “the industry has decided these recommended practices are the standards that we’re going to publish and adhere to,” so Calhoun will ensure that Altec pushes these standards out with updated business structures, especially in the Service department.

Having an Altec associate as a member of the TMC Board benefits both Altec and our customers. With an in-house resource for fleet improvement and service, Altec will be ahead of the curve as we seek to improve truck technology. Calhoun’s position on the board will allow him to recognize opportunities and implement best practices within Altec in order to provide better communication and service to our customers.

By being a member of the TMC for the past 20 years, Calhoun has been able to create a network of professionals to whom he can reach out to ask for help with almost any problem that he encounters. He says, “There’s no way I could ever quantify the value of that.”

The Altec Team is committed to providing the best service to fleets, and our associates search for opportunities to become better informed and better prepared to attend to customer needs.
