OTA Golf Tournament Raising Money for Lobbying Trucking Interests

“The fact that we spent most of the day in the rough shows our clients they never have to rough it on their compliance.”

This year OTA’s 2016 Truck PAC Golf Tournament was held at Langdon Farms Portland Golf Course in Aurora, OR. The Truck PAC Golf Tournament was a fun way to show support for the work OTA does on behalf of Oregon’s trucking industry. Money raised during the event went towards the Oregon Truck PAC fund for lobbying trucking interests in Salem.

What is the Oregon Truck PAC fund?

The Oregon Truck PAC fund ensures that the issues important to trucking companies operating in Oregon are actively represented in the state and beyond.

The support OTA members and others provide through ongoing contributions to the Truck PAC fund helps educate representatives, promote policies beneficial to the industry and, whenever possible, influence the outcome of legislation, regulations and rules.

The OTA Golf Tournament was a Success!

The year the OTA golf tournament had 90 golfers that participated. Some of the companies included McKinney, Jost, Combined Transport, STi, EROAD, Reddaway, McGinn Bros Trucking, and many more. Major sponsors of the event included UPS, FedEx, and A&M Transport.

Glostone also participated in the golf tournament this year with a team. However, the tournament once again proved that we work too hard to ever get good at golf since we came in dead last!

Ryan Walsh, Glostone’s Business Development Manager took the last place ranking lightly, “It may take four of us to land a double-bogie but our compliance expertise is never subpar! The fact that we spent most of the day in the rough shows our clients they never have to rough it on their compliance.”

Our team had a blast and was glad to be involved in supporting the OTA and the Oregon Truck PAC. At least the team left with the last place prize, vodka and a lemon!
