SC&RA VP Doug Ball retires

Doug Ball has retired from his position as Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) vice president.

The announcement was made during a special presentation and reception on the first day of the SC&RA Specialized Transportation Symposium, 19 - 21 March, in Houston, Texas, USA. Ball has served the association for more than 13 years.

Joel Dandrea, SC&RA executive vice president, said, “With the help and support of many of you, Doug has advanced our agenda on a host of transportation and permitting issues, from increased limits on tridems and trunnions to increased night-time and weekend travel allowances to increased 46,000 pound tandem weight limits in more and more states to better port access and egress for our members.

“The reality is Doug has made hundreds of presentations and actively participated in meeting after meeting during his time at SC&RA. His progress has aligned quite well with our mission of advocating, educating and working to improve the safety, efficiency and profitability of our industry.”

Ball retired on 28 March 2014.
