Agricultural and Food Transporters Conference (AFTC)
The Agricultural and Food Transporters Conference (AFTC) is the national organization representing motor carrier and allied members of the American Trucking Associations on critical issues affecting agricultural commodity and food transportation. AFTC’s mission is to increase the safety, security, profitability and efficiency of transporters of agricultural commodities, food, forest products and natural resources; and to serve as the advocate for its members within the American Trucking Associations and before the government, other organizations and the public. AFTC works to ensure that its members operate in a strong and profitable business environment by helping shape legislation and regulations that impact the agricultural and food transportation industry.
Iron Apple was invited to present our FSMA compliance solutions and industry best practices regarding FSMA and the Sanitary Transportation Rule to the AFTC Board & Executives at the American Trucking Association’s Management Conference and Exhibition, Sunday October 22, in Orlando Florida.
