Two Ways to Find TMC Recommended Practices in TruckSeries
For five decades, the ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council’s (TMC) Recommended Practices (RPs) have been widely recognized as the go-to resource for trucking professionals seeking best practices and industry standards for maintenance, repair and technology-related issues.
For this reason, we’ve recently merged the RPs into TruckSeries to make this valuable resource quick and easy to find! In fact, you can navigate to TMC RPs in two ways – through the 1Search Plus card-based dashboard OR the Service Manual view. Here’s how:
After selecting a specific vehicle, navigate to the Select Module drop-down menu, located at the top left of the home screen. Here, you can access TMC RPs in the following two ways:
- 1Search Plus – Access TMC RPs through the 1Search Plus card format.
- Service Manual – Access TMC RPs through the Service Manual. This method will vary based on the selected vehicle type (truck vs. trailer).

The Service Manual Module:

Select Service Manual from the options.
Then, under the “Table of Contents,” navigate to TMC Recommended Practices, located near the bottom.
