Pennington, who has more than 40 years in trucking, strongly supported the American Trucking Association (ATA) and the trucking industry through his work at Meritor, work in the media and with the Allied Committee for the Trucking Industry (ACT I).
“Mike was immediate past president of ACT I and Vice Chairman of the ATA Communications & Image Policy Committee,” ATA chairman Bill Graves said in an email announcing news of Pennington’s passing. “He worked tirelessly for both groups, as well as the numerous other industry organizations he was involved with. Mike will be remembered for his love of the trucking industry, his incredible work ethic, his influence, generosity and passion for people.”
