New American Trucking Associations president Chris Spear
talks trucking leadership in Washington

By Bethany May Spear speaks at a
conference
Contributing Writer
Q2 Summer 2016
The surprising rise of Donald Trump
and Bernie Sanders earlier in this year’s
presidential campaigns is evidence of
how much views of the establishment in
Washington in changed, and lobbyists are
finding a new strategy is necessary.

Former President and CEO of Ameri-
can Trucking Associations, Governor Bill
Graves, and ATA’s incoming President and
CEO Chris Spear recently announced the
promotion of four long-time ATA staff to
members of ATA’s senior executive team:
Elisabeth Barna, in charge of communica-
tions and public affairs; Chief Economist
Bob Costello; Controller Rusty Duckworth;
and Kay Perkins, in charge of human re-
sources and operations.

In July, Chris Spear took the same title
as his predecessor, Governor Bill Graves,
but his job will be markedly different to
mirror these changing times. “Bill and I
have very different backgrounds,” Spear
says. “I have tremendous respect for his
time as governor, his public service, his
family history with the trucking industry.
It’s quite frankly exceptional, and he’s come
to the ATA at a time where we had a differ-
ent environment and flavor here in Wash-
ington D.C. Now he leaves this role, and the
environment has changed dramatically.”

To cope with the changing environ-
ment, fewer bills moving, fewer opportuni-
ties to tell the trucking story, Spear says
his mindset is grounded in his previous
experience legislating on the Hill and regu-
lating in the agencies in recent years.

Spear’s resume in government rela-
tions and economic development is long
and impressive—the kind of list you’d
want for an association that deals with
strict regulations and interstate commerce
issues.

“I want to be at the table and make

requires just stepping up our game and
focusing on what the trends are. Here is a

could deal with productivity. It could deal
with driver shortage. There are a lot of

what is required of our industry to make
that happen. That’s not clear, so I’m not
quick to embrace that as the future, but I’m
quick to say that we need to be at the table
and drive the outcome.”

The regulatory front is always key for
trucking, but without a voting majority on
the Hill, Spear says, ATA has to exert some
push back on the agencies and try to find
some balance to work with regulators in a
constructive way and not in a way that’s
harmful or harbors an agenda.

Spear says the enemy isn’t regula-
tions; it’s bad regulations. “We don’t mind
regulations. We are used to them. We just
want very good, clear regulations. Things

haven’t seen a lot of that lately, and that’s
an area of focus that we need to step up
and work with the agencies to really help
shape what that outcome is going to look
like and ensure that it’s not damaging to
the industry going forward.”

And of course, come November, the
strategy could change, but Spear says that
trucking’s story won’t.

Return on investment

Elisabeth Barna predicts that one of
the biggest changes members can expect
is a defined return on investment. She says
after only two weeks on the job, Spear has
been on the road visiting nonmembers,
former members and current members.
“He has either been on the phone or on an
airplane trying to listen and learn and get
feedback,” she says.

Spear’s vision is to run the Association
like a business to give members something
in return for their engagement.

“We represent large and small com-
panies, and I think it is inherently respon-
sible to think like a business going forward
in order to tell that story effectively and
more broadly,” Spear says. “It’s nice to do
advocacy and gather and compare notes
and share information, but really what
I think our members are looking for is
a defined ROI, that legislative or regula-
tory win. And that takes us working with
all sectors of industry, all other coalition
partners.”

Barna encourages members and
stakeholders to reach out with thoughts,
suggestions and ideas because the ATA is
all ears. “There’s no criticism from the last
14 years. I mean the governor did a great
job. The world is changing, and politics are
changing here in Washington. It’s a lot dif-
ferent from when he started,” she says.

Spear is optimistic about all the
changes and wants members to be as well.
“We have proven we can do it, and I think
going forward, if we keep looking for that
ROI, members will be excited to be part of
ATA. They will see the value and the pride
it gives to the industry, waving this banner
here in D.C. I’m very much looking forward
to putting some wins on the board and
showing members that their hard-earned
dues are paying off.” TTN
