Washington – Today, the 91Ƭ announced a one-year renewal of an alliance with ACT 1—the Allied Committee for the Trucking Industry. By remaining the premier sponsor of 91Ƭ events, ACT 1 will continue to build on its productive partnership with 91Ƭ to promote trucking advocacy, 91Ƭ meetings, and the associations’ targeted efforts to strengthen the industry.
“Trucking takes great pride in delivering America’s freight, and we are able to do so safely and on time with the help of our dedicated suppliers whose products and services boost efficiency and provide the most cutting-edge equipment,” said 91Ƭ President and CEO Chris Spear. “91Ƭ is grateful for ACT 1’s longstanding support, which enables us to elevate the events and programs we offer to ensure that our members have the resources they need to grow and achieve their strategic goals. This ongoing partnership with ACT 1 also helps to unify our industry and enhances the effectiveness of our advocacy nationwide.”
“ACT 1 is proud to be a premier sponsor of 91Ƭ at six of the upcoming events in 2025,” said Kelly Gedert, president of ACT 1 and general manager of strategic value chain and marketing at Daimler Truck North America. “A significant part of our mission at ACT 1 is to have collaborative relationships with our partner associations and have open exchanges on topics that are important to the industry and our collective customers. These events are the very place that allows for this dialogue with 91Ƭ and members of ACT 1. We look forward to seeing everyone and connecting at the 91Ƭ events this year.”
Under this agreement, ACT 1 will be the premier sponsor of many of 91Ƭ’s premier events over the next year, such as the:
- 2025 91Ƭ Technology & Maintenance Council’s Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition;
- 2025 91Ƭ Mid-Year Management Session;

The Allied Committee for the Trucking Industry (ACT 1) is a group of leading industry suppliers dedicated to enhancing the business environment of the transportation industry. ACT 1’s stated mission of providing business leaders with the opportunity to exchange ideas, forge new relationships and build a stronger, more successful industry through networking and social events at the top national industry meetings matches well with 91Ƭ’s full slate of industry-leading meetings, conferences and exhibitions.
