About Us
Mission Statement
The North Carolina League of Transportation and Logistics is an effective vehicle to organize shippers and receivers of freight in order to: network, take common action, stimulate public interest and promote the well being of the transportation infrastructure. The League promotes close relationships with providers of transportation services, cooperates with government entities on matters of mutual interest, lobbies its positions when appropriate and promotes transportation education.
Organization
A Chairman and a 17 member Board of Governors, along with its President and Vice President, govern the League. The Board of Governors are elected every year and is based on 10% of the Membership on the date of the Spring meeting each year. Officers serve 2 year terms. Changes to the By-Laws and Constitution must be approved by majority vote of the members.
Meetings
The League holds an Annual Conference in June. For the past sixteen years, it has been held at the Sea Trail Resort, Sunset Beach , North Carolina.
We also have regional meetings
and seminars that address key transportation issues as needed. Anyone
may attend general meetings and seminars. Origin of the League
In the 1920’s, there was a very pronounced instability in rates and in transportation services in the United States. It was most notable in the southern states.
A group of businessmen and other concerned individuals met in early 1929 and decided to organize the North Carolina Traffic League. The League was funded as a non-profit organization with $500 from Mr. Julius Cone of Cone Mills, Greensboro, N.C. The League was chartered during the term of North Carolina Governor O. Max Gardner in August 1929. It was chartered as a shipper-only organization and included ports and trade organizations.
The North Carolina Traffic League, Inc. changed its name to the North Carolina League of Transportation and Logistics.
Accomplishments
In its earlier years, League officers would attend rate hearings in
In the late 1980’s, the League began to work more closely with carriers about proposed new routes and rate increases. This began a very successful and cordial relationship with carriers that culminated in a vote of the membership in 1990 that allowed carriers to become “supporting” members. Carriers now have representation in the League with a Carrier Advisory Committee. The Committee holds a seat on the Board of Governors.
In 1994, the League and major carriers of North Carolina participated in a joint filing to comply with the federal mandate that eventually deregulated most intrastate rates and routes.
Additionally, the League awards transportation scholarships to deserving college students.
