2026 Ohio Trucking Association Annual Conference

More data doesn’t always mean better decisions. For truckload carriers, the real advantage comes from knowing which customers, lanes, and operating patterns are actually driving profitability and which may be holding it back.

Transportation leaders will gather Sept. 21-22, 2026, in Westerville, OH, for the Ohio Trucking Association’s 2026 Annual Conference, featuring industry-focused education, networking, and insights into the issues shaping trucking today. As part of the conference, KSM Transport Advisors’ Brad Heisterkamp will present “Beyond the Average: Practical Strategies for Building a More Profitable Truckload Network.”

Drawing on real-world trucking operations experience and practical data analysis, Brad will show carriers how to look beyond companywide averages to uncover what’s really driving network performance. Attendees will learn how to challenge long-held assumptions and translate their findings into smarter, more profitable decisions across pricing, sales, and operations.
