Trucking Organizations


If you own a company in the trucking industry, you would do well to partner with truckers organizations to strengthen your business expertise and credibility. Industry organizations bring together professionals with similar goals and challenges. Members of industry organizations come from across company divisions, but all share the same objective of expanding their knowledge.

Becoming a member of the right trucking associations opens the door to a wealth of expertise. You will be exposed to many networking opportunities, information and resources. Additionally, trucking industry associations may also provide invaluable services that include new products, education opportunities and industry support. When looking for membership with a truckers group, remember the following:

1. Make sure the association you're interested in is credible. Check BBB or other industry accreditations.

2. Many organizations don’t stipulate membership for certification opportunities.

3. Most trucking organizations charge fees for memberships, so make sure you’re getting your money’s worth before you pay.

Register as a business rather than as just an individual, if possible, so your employees can benefit from the membership.

Try and pick organizations with nationally-recognized events.
