Advocacy Corner- Alaska on the Hill 2026
SAVE THE DATE! April 15-16, Washington D.C. New to the Alaska Trucking Association is our involvement with the Annual Alaska on the Hill event. Brought to you by the Chamber of Alaska, Resource Development Council, Alaska Mining Association and The Alliance to name a few associations. This event is a “call on Washington” to specifically address concerns for Alaska’s resource and support industries. ATA was in attendance this year and it was a fantastic opportunity to get face to face with our leaders and discuss our legislative priorities. The 2026 trip will be bigger and better! If you are interested in participating, please contact Jamie.
National Truck Driver Appreciation Week
September 14-20 marks the official dates of Truck Driver Appreciation Week. While we celebrate them daily it was an amazing opportunity to go above and beyond. Alaska Trucking Association, with the support of 23 Carrier and Allied member companies, we were able to put on 4 special events this year!
Monday September 15, Richardson Scales-Fairbanks.
Tuesday September 16, Hans Roelle Scale and Don Young Port of Anchorage.
Wednesday September 17, Sterling scale, Kenai.
At each location we handed out lunches, swag and had the opportunity to thank drivers face to face for their contributions to our community. DOT was at each scale in all locations in full force. Volunteers from multiple companies also came out to assist. The greatest part was getting to shake hands and put a smile on their faces. Next year we look forward to taking it up a notch with two days in Fairbanks! This event is not possible without our sponsors and for that we THANK YOU!
