About Carrier Membership — and Why It Matters

Carriers are the core of the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association. PMTA exists to protect, strengthen, and advance the Commonwealth’s trucking industry — and your membership ensures that Pennsylvania fleets have a unified, influential voice where it counts.

Through your support, PMTA delivers real wins for carriers statewide. This past year alone, we:

• Secured more than 1,800 new truck-parking spaces
• Prevented California-style emissions mandates from taking hold in Pennsylvania
• Improved PennDOT’s winter weather restriction process
• Added vital commercial-vehicle data to 511PA for safer, smarter routing
• Launched a statewide Lawsuit Abuse Reform initiative
• Introduced Safety Sensitive, PMTA’s biweekly safety and compliance newsletter

These achievements are possible because carrier members make them possible.
