2 Truck Dynasty Dynasties exercise political power over, well, a coon s age. SCTA as an organization has successfully mustered the resources and done just that since its founding in That s why we were formed way back then. Every year we congregate to get smarter, hang out and chew the fat together. This keeps the family and friends culture we ve worked so hard to cultivate and keep alive over the years. Truck fleet owners and those they do business with are proud People of the Truck, and they make this meeting a cause to celebrate and share, get smarter and have fun. This is the must-attend event for truck fleet and sales executives, and anyone interested in public and industry policy, networking and personal development. Y all come and get casual in camo at beautiful Myrtle Beach. Let s keep the truck dynasty going!
