Affiliates
The Affiliates are trucking trade associations having their own direct membership, but with a formal relationship recognizing ATA as the national representative for legislative, regulatory and political matters. The Affiliates include all 50 state trucking associations, plus two national trade associations. The national trade associations pay ATA an affiliation fee. On the other hand, a prerequisite to motor carrier membership in ATA is membership in at least one state trucking association. Find a State association here.
Trucking Association Executives Council
The Trucking Association Executives Council (TAEC) is comprised of staff executives of state trucking associations and conferences affiliated with the American Trucking Associations. The purpose of TAEC is to promote the trucking industry; to contribute to the improvement of the associations and organizations established to serve the trucking industry; and to advance the professional stature and capabilities of the managers and executives of such associations.
The full TAEC meets at least twice a year; at the TAEC Annual Summer Meeting and in the fall in conjunction with the ATA Management Conference and Exhibition. Additionally, the TAEC and state trucking associations are divided into four geographical regions that meet separately once or twice a year. Find a list of state associations here.
