Haight was elected chairman of PTDI in 2002 and played a major role in reorganizing and revitalizing the organization and its training-standard work, according to the group. He was also responsible for establishment of a driver apprenticeship program in Canada and led successful driver retention efforts within MacKinnon, a Canadian-based truckload carrier.

Haight is leaving his post at PTDI to take over as this year’s chairman of TCA.
