"What can the Alabama Trucking Association do for my company?"

It's a question we're asked every day by prospective members. The short answer is, "The Alabama Trucking Association protects and promotes your interest."

Since 1938, we have provided a unified voice for trucking operations by supporting favorable laws, rules and regulations and by opposing those that are harmful or detrimental to Alabama trucking. Recently, ATA was instrumental in passing legislation that will reduce your fuel tax and Ad Valorem taxes on equipment. We've also worked tirelessly to make our industry safer through advocacy and training.

We make sure you’re informed about the most recent changes and events affecting trucking. As member you receive ATA's eNewsletter, our award-winning Alabama Trucker magazine, regular legislative bulletins, and special information briefs (safety and regulatory updates, etc.).

Meanwhile, by taking part or attending the Association's Annual Convention and other meetings and conferences, you can network with those who share your interests and concerns about trucking. For instance, ATA’s Safety & Maintenance Management Council’s monthly education programs and its sponsored events, like the Annual Truck Driving Championship provide additional activities benefiting your company’s operation.

To help you to improve your company’s bottom line, as a dues paying member of ATA, you are eligible to receive discounted rates on Workers' compensation benefits through ATA’s Workers' Comp Self-Insurance Fund; group insurance programs provided by Benefit Choices; discount mail rates from United Parcel Service; discounted prices on safety supplies and publications; and long distance telephone rates provided by DeltaCom.

As you can see, adding your company's name to ATA’s roster can have a positive effect on your bottom line. Think of your dues as an investment in your company’s success. But perhaps the most important thing the Alabama Trucking Association can do is to help you be successful.
