The NCLTL Annual Fall Meeting was held on November 10, 2022 in Greensboro, NC. We had a record turnout with over 160 attendees for the largest NCLTL Fall Meeting ever. It did not disappoint and was an outstanding way to end the year, our League’s 93^rd year. When we conducted an informal survey of new League members or first-time attendees, almost half the audience stood up and was recognized. It’s great to see so many new faces participating and, of course, we certainly appreciate the support and contributions of so many of our longer-term members as well. The day started with the Board of Governors meeting with our team of 20. It was a robust session covering 16 topics from a review of several past items and future planning for 2023. It was productive and well attended. We are truly excited about the future of our League, and we thank you for your support. The General Session started with a networking hour catching up with friends, networking, and meeting new industry professionals. Lots of business cards exchanged hands, and many names and faces were put together in our new NC League family. This was a great opportunity for shippers and service providers to meet each other and begin to work together within our group. It’s always productive and beneficial time well spent. We then had an outstanding luncheon before moving into our main session, which started with our annual scholarship awards. Two college students, Caroline Post from Appalachian State University, and Clara Livingston from North Carolina State University with their studies emphasizing Supply Chain were awarded $3,000 each. Both young ladies also utilized internships over the past summer with Best Logistics and Gilbarco. These funds were made available from our recent NC League Golf Scholarship Fundraiser held in October. The fundraiser also contributed well over 100 toys for the Annual Toys for Tots Christmas Drive and will be distributed via the Marine Corps in multiple counties in North Carolina. These endeavors were both well supported by the entire North Carolina League Membership and are outstanding community efforts by the NC League of Transportation & Logistics. Our two speakers for the afternoon were simply outstanding. Ben Cubitt, Senior Vice President, Consulting at Uber Freight kicked off the session, offering a recap of Truckload Analysis in the current marketplace. He discussed current trends, freight optimization, bid trends, and projections we can expect in 2023. It was informative, detailed, and great information was taken away by our members to share with their teams. Bob Costello, Chief Economist & Senior Vice President of International Trade Policy and Cross-Border Operations for the American Trucking Association completed our afternoon. His detailed economic review, data graphs, and explanations were simply terrific. We got first-hand knowledge of the markets, their trends, the how’s and why’s of each bucket of freight the economy is impacted by. Also, measurements, labor, CPI, and other critical factors that impact us, every day. It was great information to be shared with our NCLTL family members and can be shared with your teams.



NEWS - Golf Outing

The North Carolina League of Transportation & Logistics enjoyed a great day on October 6, 2022 at Rock Barn Country Club in Claremont, North Carolina. We had over 100 golfers, 26 teams, had a great day in perfect weather for our 2022 Ellis Brotherton Fall Scholarship Golf Fundraiser. Approximately $6,000 was raised toward the transportation, supply chain, and logistics scholarship fund for college majors in this academic discipline. Additionally, the golfers brought and donated over 100 toys for the Christmas Toy for Tots program in the region. This was our 11th year in a row at Rock Barn Country Club for this fantastic event. Special thanks to Bob Stone for organizing this fun and worthy event. Thank so much for our event and hole sponsors as well.
