In June 2025, the UCR Board of Directors hosted Jamie Benson, President of the Alaska Trucking Association, for an insightful overview of ongoing projects and safety initiatives, followed by a guided tour of the Don Young Port of Alaska. The newsletter honors Montana MCS Officer Brett Hoagland for recording the most UCR violations in June—46 in total—and notes that an annual award will be given to the top inspector for cumulative violations. The Policy Spotlight section highlights the Organization’s strict Investment Policy governing UCR Plan Reserve and Excess Fees, mandating deviations only with board approval. Industry news includes a report on Canadian auto manufacturing challenges under U.S. tariffs and a new ATRI study exposing significant operational cost pressures on trucking profitability. Lastly, a calendar of upcoming UCR meetings is shared, spanning July through December, with a mix of teleconferences and in-person gatherings.
