Government Freight Conference
The American Trucking Associations (ATA) is a federation of about 70 specialty organizations representing the trucking industry of the United States. One organization is the Government Freight Conference (GFC), comprised of representatives from the trucking companies that move freight for the federal agencies. More than 50% of the federal freight we move is in support of our men and women in uniform, but also includes emergency relief under FEMA, and any other supply chain need by any of the approximately 140 federal agencies. Truck drivers and other personnel in this part of the trucking industry are very patriotic, pro-American citizens who take great pride in the safe and timely delivery of supplies that are vital to sustaining the various activities of all federal government agencies. The trucks we use are what most of the public calls "18 wheelers," that have 3 axles on the tractor (power unite) and usually 2 axles on the trailer. We are not the trucks you see with 2 or 3 axles (a "box truck"). The standard trailers we use are 53' long. Our culture focuses on safety and service. We prefer a modern, visionary logo, vs. a more traditional or "Old English" type of motif. As we are a very pro-American group serving the federal government, preferred colors would red, white & blue, but all color schemes are welcomed. If you have questions, you may contact me at: bwanamak@trucking.org Thank you for using your creative talents to devise a logo that is representative of what we do.
