Purpose

So much depends on trucking. Most of America's products are delivered by trucks and Arkansas is the heart of America's trucking industry. More than 84,000 people in Arkansas are employed by trucking companies and distribution companies; that's more than 1 in 13 people in the private sector work force.

The Arkansas Trucking Association is owned by trucking companies and private carrier fleets (as well as important suppliers to the industry) from one-truck operations to some of the nation's largest trucking companies. They understand that we are working together to build a pro-business, pro-trucking climate in which to operate.

Our Mission is Simple

PROTECT the collective interests of trucking companies in the political and regulatory arenas. PROMOTE the dynamics of trucking so that people have a better understanding of the link between America's primary freight delivery system and the standard of living they enjoy. INFORM our corporate executives about the important issues they need to know to grow their business and their profits.

The Arkansas Trucking Association welcomes businesses for corporate membership that support a strong, united trucking industry in Arkansas.
