Truckload Carriers Association Refrigerated Meeting
July 22–24, 2026 | Nashville, TN
The premier event for truckload professionals operating temperature-controlled equipment.
July 23, Carrier Transicold is going to be part of two sessions.
Bill Maddox: Global Trailer Product Manager, Carrier Transicold – Panelist
8:00am-9:15am — Regulations Update
This session features a high-level briefing from TCA’s head of safety and government affairs on the latest safety and government affairs updates, followed by an unfiltered panel discussion with the industry’s leading OEMs.
The panel will discuss how vendors are redesigning reefer units to handle freon alternatives and zero-emission power requirements. Whether you are worried about regulations deadlines or the long-term viability of your diesel assets, this session provides the technical and regulatory roadmap needed for fleet planning.
Scott Blair: Associate Director, Telematics, Carrier Transicold – Facilitator
9:30am-10:30am — Roundtable Discussion: Insights on Maximizing Currently Owned Tech and What's Next
Most refrigerated carriers only use 30% of their tech capabilities. Facilitated by leading equipment manufacturers, participants will have the ability to straight-talk with the OEMs and their peers to dive into underutilized features like remote two-way reefer control and predictive component health alerts.
We will bridge the gap between sessions by pulling in critical themes: Cyber-Enabled Fraud Prevention (using ELD/GPS verification), Data-Driven Trade Cycles (using real-time engine/unit data), and Cargo Claims. This is a practical, "how-to" session focused on the immediate applications of current tech and the upcoming transition to smart systems.
