It is with great pride and gratitude that we extend our heartfelt thanks to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for entrusting Teamsters Local 776 with the honor of serving as the exclusive transportation provider for the 2026 Teamsters Convention in Las Vegas. This opportunity represents far more than a professional responsibility; it is a privilege to support the strongest and most respected labor organization in the world and to help bring all Delegates and their guests together for such an important event.

We are deeply appreciative of the confidence the International has placed in our team drivers, Kevin Weagle and Brian Buckley (TForce Freight), and remain committed to delivering the highest level of service with the professionalism and integrity that reflects the values of the Teamsters Union.

Thank you again to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for this opportunity. We look forward to contributing to a successful and memorable 2026 Convention in Las Vegas and proudly standing alongside the hardworking men and women who keep this union strong every single day.

Check back again soon for updates from Brian and Kevin as they make their way to the convention. Travel safely, gentlemen!

L-R: Local 776 Secretary-Treasurer Mark Cicak, TForce Members Kevin Weagle and Brian Buckley, and Local 776 President Spencer Dearth.

Will you be coming to the picnic at Knoebels on Sunday? Great, we're looking forward to seeing you. Show your Teamster Pride, wear your Teamster gear: shirts, hats, whatever you have!

Our photographer will be roaming the park, taking pictures of you, your family, your kids, and your friends. He'll be wearing a Teamsters Local 776 shirt. If you see him but he doesn't see you, just shout to him, “Yo Erik!” and he’ll be glad to include you in his photo collection.

Everyone has a camera; I’m sure you will be taking photos of the day. How about sharing your photos with others? Just email your photos to info@teamsterslocal776.org, and we'll upload your photos to a “Members' Photos” section in the Photo Gallery on the Local Union Website and the Mobile App, and, as space permits, we'll print them in an upcoming newsletter! 

See you Sunday at Knoebels!
