The Truckload Carriers Association annual convention is known for bringing together some of the biggest names in trucking, leadership, and entertainment, and the 2026 event is shaping up to be no exception. Drivers and industry professionals heading to Orlando, Florida, can look forward to high-impact sessions, networking opportunities, and a live performance from the legendary band Sugar Ray.
According to TCA, “The TCA Annual Convention is the premier event for truckload industry leaders, where business meets innovation and connections turn into opportunities. Gain insights from expert speakers, explore innovations, and network with hundreds of your peers who are shaping the future of trucking.”
This year, WEX is helping turn up the energy by sponsoring an exclusive concert by Sugar Ray. TCA added, “We’re turning up the volume with Sugar Ray. Thanks to sponsor WEX, we’re capping off the industry’s best networking event with an exclusive, special live performance by the legendary Sugar Ray.”
If you have been on the road long enough, chances are you have had at least one of Sugar Ray’s hits playing through your speakers. The band, co-founded by Mark McGrath on vocals and Rodney Sheppard on lead guitar, has sold more than 10 million records, landed four top 10 songs, and drawn crowds from coast to coast.
TCA summed it up perfectly. “How many artists still pack amphitheaters a whole generation removed from their genesis. How many acts can claim sharing the stage with The Rolling Stones, KISS, and Sex Pistols, collaborating with Run DMC, and being interpolated by Post Malone? Just Sugar Ray.”
In addition to the concert, this year’s lineup features NFL legend Jimmy Johnson as the keynote speaker, bringing a message of teamwork, leadership, and resilience that resonates both on the field and behind the wheel.
TCA 2026 will take place in Orlando, Florida, from February 28 to March 3. Drivers and fleet professionals are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the chance to connect with others who share the same drive for excellence and progress in trucking.
