History of the NorthWest Georgia Transportation Club For the better part of the last 75 years, the N.W.G.T.C. has been a primay link within the transportation community in NorthWest Georgia. Located strategically between the major metropolitans of Chattanooga TN and Atlanta,GA., Dalton,GA is home to some of the largest floor covering manufacturing companies in the world ! As a result, it is also home to many and various modes of transportation providers,both large and small. These transportation companies specialize in handling carpet and floor covering materials. The NWGTC was started as a means of networking providers and consumers to build a strengthened transportation community within the Northwest Georgia area. In years past the cities of Rome,LaFayette, Calhoun and Chattanooga have played particularly important roles in our organization. Today, the reach of the NWGTC stretches not only to the transportation community, but to the rest of the community as well. This organization provides support for community services such as: the Children's Home Chamblis Shelter, Toys for Tots, and scholarships to local students studying at higher learning institutions. The NWGTC has most recently entered a collaborative effort with Dalton State College to provide a newly created degreed transportation program at the university. We've come a long way in 75 years and yet we have a long way to go with lots to do to achieve the goals set forth by the organizations creators! This website will hopefully help foster those goals and objectives by making the organization accessible to anyone interested in finding out about us! Fun, education, more fun, and more education is what we are about !
