1. Trucking Industry Is Finally Getting Good, Long Overdue Attention:

2. Identify Real Opportunities to Work with Policy Makers and Regulatory Bodies--Push the Boundaries of Traditional Collaborations and Move Forward with Unconventional Collaboration and Collaboratory

3. Continue to Support and Fund Both Technology R&D (e.g. SuperTruck) and Market Incentives

4. Use the Industry’s Conservatism to Its Advantage and Make Calculated, Well-planned out Transformation
