WE’RE LEADING THE FIGHT
FOR TRUCKERS’ RIGHTS.
Since 1973, we have fought for the rights of all owner-operators, small fleets, and professional truckers regarding highway safety and transportation policies, working for a business climate where all are treated equally and fairly.
We’ve spent 50+ years advocating on behalf of truckers, but we need you to join the fight! Every trucker has an opportunity to help inform lawmakers about the issues that directly impact them. Please share your story with your federal, state, and local representatives and help us drive impactful industry change.
