Aim Transportation Solutions, a national leader in commercial truck leasing and rentals, dedicated contract carriage and maintenance programs, is proud to share the election of Chris Disantis, Aim’s Director of Purchasing and Training, to the American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council’s (TMC) board of directors.

With roots dating back to 1956, the TMC combines real-world experience and technical expertise—through its diverse composition of fleets, equipment suppliers, manufacturers, educators and service providers—to develop the industry’s best practices that address the critical technology and maintenance issues that have the greatest impact on truck fleets.

Beginning as a technician with Aim in 1988, over the last 31 years Disantis has proven himself one of Aim’s most valuable assets, helping to guide and develop maintenance best practices, adoption of new diagnostic and repair technologies and maintenance personnel development.

“As a member of TMC’s board of directors, I plan to bring new ideas and creative solutions to help the council grow into the future and attract new, young talent with innovated ideas into the membership,” said Disantis. “Moreover, I’ll bring strong leadership to TMC members and represent their ideas.

Beyond his scope of accomplishments at Aim, Disantis has proven himself a strong industry influencer. He currently serves as chairman for of the S.1 Electrical Study Group; served as S.1 1st Vice Chairman, 2014-2016; oversaw the development and update of numerous recommended practices; helped organize and serve as a panelist on several technical and mini-technical sessions with S.1 and other study groups. He has also served on the TMC Board Nominating Committee and the ASE Training Mangers Council for the past three years as well as currently serving as a member of NationaLease’s tech competition committee, which he has done for 10 years.
