After more than 20 years of partnership, OMEGA has made the decision to conclude its management services agreement with the West Virginia Trucking Association effective October 31, 2026. As a result, I will also be stepping down from my role as President of WVTA at that time.
Serving the members of WVTA has been both a privilege and a pleasure. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to work alongside many dedicated trucking professionals who care deeply about this industry and the future of transportation in West Virginia. I am grateful for the relationships, friendships, and experiences that have come from that work.

On Sunday, September 14, the American Trucking Associations marked the start of the 37th annual National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, an annual celebration recognizing the nation’s nearly 3.6 million professional truck drivers.
“When every convenience and necessity is available on a store shelf or just a click away, it can be easy to overlook America’s 3.6 million truck drivers who pull off this logistical feat day after day,” said American Trucking Associations President & CEO Chris Spear. “Our reliance on truckers is absolute, and our appreciation for them should be as well. These hardworking professionals should be celebrated for their dedication that powers our economy. National Truck Driver Appreciation Week provides the opportunity for Americans to give truck drivers the recognition and gratitude they richly deserve.”
