Tech Talk with TMC, produced jointly by American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council and long-time trucking radio personality Dave Nemo since June 2005, will celebrate its 500th show on July 28.

“We’re thrilled to be able to present vital information from these experts to our trucking audience,” says Dave Nemo, veteran radio personality and host of The Dave Nemo Show. “For more than 10 years, response to TMC’s presence on the show has been overwhelmingly positive and it’s great to have the members on the air on a weekly basis covering everything from the shiny side to the rubber side and everything in between.”

TMC Technical Director Robert Braswell appears on the program each week, along with a veteran TMC member covering issues involving maintenance, inspection and specification of brakes, on-board vehicle electronics and electrical systems, engines, seating, tires and wheels, trailers, transmissions, chassis and suspensions.

“With input from these seasoned professionals and TMC's vast pool of knowledge, Tech Talk with TMC is a real winning combination," says Carl Kirk, ATA vice president of maintenance, information technology & logistics and TMC executive director. “I'm glad to see listeners take advantage of TMC’s special Owner Operator membership category.

Each Tuesday, TMC representatives appear on The Dave Nemo Show, covering a range of technical issues of high interest to the trucking industry. Guest speakers take live calls and emails from SiriusXM’s RoadDog Trucking audience, heard on SiriusXM Channel 146. The 500th episode will be broadcast on July 28 at 10:05 a.m. EDT.
