"He has served on the Board of Directors for many years, both as Chairman and in leadership roles throughout his tenure on the Board. Tom has been instrumental in his dedication to our industry and to TRALA through his work in supporting key initiatives such as TRALA's scholarship program, Legal Action Fund, congressional fly-in event, and political action committee known as TRALAPAC. He has been a leader for TRALA while maintaining an extremely kind and collaborative demeanor, which has helped foster such a fantastic comradery amongst TRALA Board members.”

Tom Fleming, Chairman and CEO of Aim Transportation Solutions, is a third-generation member of the transportation community hailing from the greater Youngstown, Ohio area, where Aim is headquartered. Tom is a graduate of Boston College where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in economics.


In 1982, Mr. Fleming purchased McNicholas Transportation, a family leasing company that consisted of 29 vehicles and five employees. Today, Aim operates or maintains nearly 11,000 vehicles with approximately 1,200 employees at over 100 facilities.
