“Since 2007, the used truck industry, as well as the Used Truck Association (UTA), has made considerable strides to be recognized in the entire trucking industry. One of the key factors that has helped us become recognized is Steve Tam of ACT Research, who has lead the UTA with his analysis and reporting of used and new trucks, as well as the economy and how it relates to these vehicles. For a number of years now, Steve has spoken at the UTA’s annual convention about our industry. He brings a great deal of education, information, and professionalism. We have speakers come and go, however, Steve always remains stationary with the UTA.”
