Why Join NTA?

How can you make money in trucking? It’s hard enough to find good drivers but when you have to keep up with all the new state & federal government rules, regulations and paperwork that take a bite out of your profit, it’s a hard job! To avoid being fined, sued and possibly driven out of business, you first must be an expert in safety, legislative and regulatory developments at all levels of the government.

Keeping up with insurance, employment regulations, drug testing regulations, state and federal safety compliance inspection rules, add even further to your duties as a trucker making it a full time job.

This leaves little time to find any benefits for your drivers or independent contractors.

Where can you turn for help and assistance to remain profitable”?  (more)

What's New?

NorthAmerican Transportation Association is proud to annouce two new services.

• FMCSA Driver Pre-Employment Screening.

Our program will allow NTA member companies to electronically access driver inspection and crash records as part of the hiring process. By using driver safety information during pre-employment screening, NTA members will be able to better assess potential safety risks of a prospective driver-employee, and drivers will have additional opportunities to verify the data in their driving history and correct any discrepancies.

• CSA 2010 Scorecard.

The CSA 2010 Scorecard draws from the same carrier and drivers data sources as the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA).

The Scorecard applies the same methodologies currently used by FMCSA to calculate carriers’ CSA 2010 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASIC) Measure and Percentiles. (more)
