The 2015 American Trucking Associations (ATA) Management Conference & Exhibition (MC&E) got started with a spate of press conferences that included the announcement that Kenworth Truck Co. will not be attending the annual Mid America Trucking Show in March 2016. Only Peterbilt Motors Co., Kenworth's brother company, remains as the only truck maker that has not publicly declared whether or not it will attend Mid America next year; every other OEM, now including Kenworth, has said they won't.
