National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC) elected Kevin Jackson as chairman of the board at its recent board meeting conducted virtually as a result of travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jackson succeeds Bernie Gorski, former owner of Gorski Bulk Transport, which recently was acquired by TFI International based in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. Chairman Gorski will work with the NTTC’s executive committee up through its Tank Truck Week program, presently scheduled for Oct 6-8, NTTC said.
“It is an honor to have so many accomplished leaders in the tank truck industry elect me as the new chairman of the board,” Jackson said. “I look forward to working with the board, my fellow members, and the great staff of the NTTC as we carve out a new way forward during this unique time in history. “I will continue the great work of the chairs who came before me in helping the NTTC continue to be a strong voice for the tank truck industry and a champion for our professional drivers, the heroes of the road.”
Kevin Jackson is a fourth-generation tank trucker who currently serves as president and CEO of Liquid Cargo, based in West Palm Beach FL. The company was founded in 1910 under the leadership of his great-grandfather, Chester Jackson. Jackson succeeded his father, Mark Jackson, and his uncle, Greg, as the company’s leader in 2012.
Liquid Cargo now specializes in transporting ISO tank containers, along with acids, corrosives, cleaning compounds, industrial oil chemicals, and other hazardous and non-hazardous products in its fleet of tank trailers.
