Statement from the NMFTA Board of Directors

Bill Pugh has been a valuable member of NMFTA for over 32 years, holding the positions of Executive Director and General Counsel. We recognized Bill’s unfaltering commitment as well as his excellent work accomplished during his extensive tenure with NMFTA. Recently he spearheaded the establishment of the New Organizational Structure and Procedures allowing NMFTA to continue to maintain and develop the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) in light of the Surface Transportation Board’s termination of antitrust immunity for the National Classification Committee’s classification-making activities. We regret to lose Bill’s contributions to the advancement of NMFTA and the Motor Carrier Industry as a whole. We want to extend Bill the best in all his future endeavors.

About NMFTA

Founded in 1956, NMFTA is a nonprofit membership organization headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. Its membership is comprised of motor carriers operating in interstate, intrastate and foreign commerce. On behalf of participating member motor carriers, NMFTA maintains the NMFC. In addition to developing and maintaining the NMFC, NMFTA has recently released ClassIT® 2.0, the online NMFC tool. NMFTA also assigns and publishes the Standard Carrier Alpha Codes (SCAC), a unique two-to-four-letter code used to identify transportation companies worldwide, and the Standard Point Location Codes (SPLC), a nine-digit numeric code designed to provide each point originating freight and each point receiving freight in North America with a unique number so constructed as to identify the point with its geographic location.

Additionally, NMFTA recently launched ACE-lerate™, the service designed to help companies involved in cross border transportation accelerate the processing of their e-Manifests. For more information on NMFTA, contact us at 866.411.NMFC (6632), customerservice@nmfta.org, or visit www.nmfta.org.
