  It is the time of year for us to thank and greet our friends and business associates. The December issue of the SDTA’s Trucking News offers you a very economical way to do just that.

  This special issue of the Trucking News is scheduled for publication on December 18, 2024. This is a great way for you to send an end of the year greeting to both regular and associate members of the trucking industry.

  After your review of the examples, simply complete the attached form by indicating your choice of design. You can also submit your own design. To ensure we meet our printing deadline,
  all holiday greeting messages must be received at the SDTA office by Friday, December 6, 2024.

• 2nd Annual Truckload of Giving

  • When
    12 Dec 2024

  This holiday season, SDTA is rallying members across South Dakota to bring joy to less fortunate children through the Angel Tree Toy Drive. Our goal is to raise funds to sponsor angel trees around the state, ensuring that every child has a toy to unwrap this Christmas.

  We are asking for your support to help make this holiday season brighter for children who may not otherwise receive gifts. Every dollar donated will go directly toward purchasing toys for children in need. 

  Whether it’s a small contribution or a larger donation, your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of these kids and their families.

  Donations can be sent to the SDTA office or made online through our webpage. Every gift counts and will make a difference in our community!

  Let’s come together this holiday season to show the spirit of giving and make sure no child is left without a gift. Your support will light up the holidays for families across South Dakota!

  AGREEMENTS AND RELEASE

  In consideration of my being permitted to participate in the ATA’s National and/or its affiliates’ Truck Driving Championships (TDC) or Step Van Driving Championships (SVDC) and be eligible for awards offered to participants, I hereby stipulate and agree to the following:

  1. I acknowledge that I am not in the employ of ATA or a State Trucking Association.

  2. Both as to myself and my heirs and personal representatives, I release ATA, its directors, employees, agents and/or any of its affiliates and the State Association noted above, its directors, employees, agents and/or any of its affiliates from any and all liability and any right of action that may arise from any damage or injury which I may receive while attending or participating in said State or National TDC or National SVDC.

I grant the State Association listed to the left and ATA and its designated agencies exclusive right to make use of information about myself and of photographs supplied with this entry form, along with photographs subsequently taken under ATA’s direction, in publicity and advertising activities. I further agree to make myself available for publicity enterprises arranged by ATA, with newspaper and magazine writers and radio and television personnel.

  4. I grant State Association listed to the left and ATA the right to examine my MVR for the purposes of determining my eligibility to compete at both the State and National TDC or SVDC.
