ARLINGTON, Va., June 9, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today,
American Trucking Associations announced that U.S. Bank, provider
of industry-leading freight payment solutions and issuer of the
Voyager Fleet Card for all vehicle classes, will once again be an
ATA Featured Product provider. This is the fourth consecutive year
the bank has participated in the program, which provides ATA's
members with visibility to key products and services.
"Simplifying the payment process through the use of electronic
freight payment is yet another way that the trucking industry is
rapidly modernizing to keep up with market demands," said ATA
President and CEO Chris Spear.
"We're thankful that U.S. Bank is a committed industry supplier and
supporter of ATA's Interstate One Image Trailer."
This year's participation takes on a higher profile with the
additional support of ATA's Image Trailer, Interstate One, now
emblazoned with a U.S. Bank logo as it travels the country
promoting the trucking industry. The 53-foot custom drop deck show
trailer, wrapped in an American-flag-themed graphic, has been
stopping at state capitals, community events, high schools and
industry trade shows communicating the important role trucking
plays in delivering life's essentials safely and securely.
"Supporting Interstate One will more closely identify us with
the carriers and drivers who use our safe, secure and reliable
payment solutions," said U.S. Bank Global Transportation
Payments General Manager John
Hardin. "We are proud to be the only bank in
the United States offering
proprietary fleet card and freight payment services to the
marketplace, and we're equally proud to help deliver the messages
of the trucking industry and the professional driver to all corners
of the country."
