Description

Join us for our 2023 LMTA Annual Convention, July 13-15, 2023, at The Lodge at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL. This year's convention will feature keynotes from industry professionals and Louisiana public officials. We will also have dedicated sessions on transportation updates, trucking research, federal and state legislative updates as well as key membership meetings.

Our convention theme for this year is "Trucking, A Tradition," celebrating not only decades of LMTA history but also the generations of trucking families in our state. If you have any vintage pictures of your trucks or business you would like shared at the event, email them to allison@lmta.la.

In your wealth of free time outside of convention events, enjoy all that The Lodge and Gulf State Park have to offer, with sugar-white sands and beautiful blue waters. Bring your families; we can’t wait to see you there!
