Owner/Operator Membership

What Does it Cost Me?

Now, owner/operators can join TMTA and benefit from communications and valuable member services for less than $105 per year. We know independent contracts operate on a tight budget and need cost-effective sources of information and other valuable services. We've taken that into consideration by reducing the minimum TMTA carrier member dues by more than 60 percent.

Owner/Operators contracted to TMTA member companies can join for $75 per year. Those not affiliated with TMTA member companies are still eligible for membership at only $105 per year.

What Do I Get?

First of all, owner/operators who join TMTA are eligible for all member group discount programs, including insurance, tires, long distance and our custom products such as log books, forms, back belts, accident kits and much more. We use our group purchasing power to bring discounts to owner/operators and small fleets normally available to only the largest carriers. We're currently examining new discount programs designed specifically for owner/operators.

Membership in TMTA also means a seat at the table when it comes to developing policy that impacts owner/operators and the entire trucking industry operating in Texas. In addition, TMTA works closely with regulatory agencies in Texas, including DPS and TxDOT, to solve routine issues on a one-to-one basis. In short, we're your Austin office. Owner/Operator members of TMTA also receive a variety of association publications with the latest trends and issues.

Who Can Join TMTA?

Membership in TMTA is open to any trucker operating in Texas. However, this new dues level is intended for owner/operators, with no more than four trucks, who drive their own truck.
Annual dues can be paid by check or credit card and are due with the TMTA application. Membership approval usually takes less than 24 hours after receipt by TMTA of the application and payment. Members are eligible for all member discount programs although any credit extension is subject to credit approval.
