A truck manufacturer that helps move a lot of freight in Alabama just put its name at the top of the leaderboard.

International has committed to serve as Presidential Sponsor of the 2026 ATA Golf Classic, the top sponsorship tier for Alabama Trucking’s biggest fundraiser of the year benefiting TRUK PAC. It’s the kind of commitment that sets the tone before a single ball gets teed up.

Every Trucker Wins

Trucking runs on relationships, and so does the political process that decides who writes the rules our members operate under every day. This tournament is a win-win for sponsors. They get a chance to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones, while supporting the infrastructure that protects and advanced our industry.

International’s backing, along with every other sponsor, helps inject TRUK PAC with the fuel it needs to keep Alabama Trucking’s voice loud in Montgomery and Washington, at a moment when that voice is doing real work.

This cycle alone, the association has helped deliver a cap on property tax assessments, passage of the Highway Safety and Fairness Act of 2026, and supported infrastructure improvements statewide, all wins that required elected officials willing to listen to what our industry needed.

The celebration kicks off with a reception on Monday, Oct. 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., followed by the golf tournament itself on Tuesday, Oct. 6, with a 10 a.m. shotgun start. The Golf Classic isn’t just a good round of golf. It’s about networking with your customers, suppliers, and industry partners, and it’s about TRUK PAC filling up the tank for the political challenges and opportunities ahead.

Sponsorship Is Still Open

International may have claimed the top spot, but there’s plenty of room left on this leaderboard. Both Reception Presenting Sponsorships, at $5,000 each, remain open, and three of the four $2,500 Reception Sponsorships are still up for grabs. Senator ($5,000), Legislator ($2,500), Judge ($1,000) and Patron ($500) level sponsorships are all still available too, alongside a full slate of $3,000 promotional add-ons, from Pin Flag and Golf Ball Branding to Hole in One Host.

If your company wants its name on the industry leaderboard this October, or just wants to help keep Alabama’s trucking industry’s message loud in Montgomery, secure your company’s 2026 Golf Classic sponsorship before the field fills up.
