Truckload Carriers Association will hold its 2026 Safety and Security Meeting June 7 through June 9 at the Omni Oklahoma City Hotel, followed by the North American Transportation Management Institute annual meeting through June 10. The Oklahoma City events will focus on roadside enforcement, cargo security, audit preparation, legal exposure after crashes, driver behavior, and safety leadership.
Safety Meeting Targets Issues Drivers See on the Road
The Safety and Security Meeting is built around risk areas that affect daily trucking, including freight theft, inspections, compliance reviews, and accident response.
“The TCA Safety+Security Meeting is built on a 360-degree safety model that looks at every angle of risk, from technology and compliance to the human element,” said Lucas Mowry.
The agenda includes a regulatory update on trucking activity in Washington, a session on protecting freight in a new era of crime, trial strategy and jury insight, and workshops on preparing for DOT and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration compliance reviews.
Jeff Skiles Keynote Brings Emergency Decision Making Into Focus
Jeff Skiles will serve as the keynote speaker. Skiles was the copilot on U.S. Airways Flight 1549, known as the Miracle on the Hudson, when the crew safely landed an Airbus A320 on the Hudson River after losing both engines.
His session gives the event a direct safety hook: how trained professionals communicate, assess risk, and make decisions when conditions change without warning.
Workshops Cover Enforcement, Driver Behavior, and Risk
Workshop topics include roadside enforcement insights, audit readiness, OSHA preparation, safety culture, first-line management, and how research and technology are shaping trucking safety.
The schedule also includes Safety in the Rounds discussion groups, exhibit hall receptions, networking breakfasts, the Fleet Safety Awards presentation, and the Safety Professional of the Year Award presentation.

The NATMI meeting begins June 9 and runs through noon June 10. Sessions include Lead the Future of Safety, Not Your Dad’s Compliance Program, Modern Risk Reduction, Leading People Safely, and a panel discussion on building the next generation of safety leaders.
The NATMI schedule also includes business meetings, committee reports, breakfast, lunch, and a networking and awards reception.
