More than 150,000 members of OOIDA are men and women in all 50 states and Canada who collectively own and\/or operate more than 240,000 individual heavy-duty trucks and small truck fleets.<\/p>\n<h2>OOIDA&#8217;s Mission<\/h2>\n<p>The mission of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ooida.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc<\/a>. is to serve owner-operators, small fleets and professional truckers; to work for a business climate where truckers are treated equally and fairly; to promote highway safety and responsibility among all highway users; and to promote a better business climate and efficiency for all truck operators.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1973, the Association has actively advocated the views of professional truckers through its interaction with state, provincial and federal government agencies, legislatures, the courts, other associations, and private businesses to advance an equitable environment for commercial drivers. OOIDA is active in all aspects of highway safety and transportation policy, and represents the positions of professional truckers on numerous committees and in various forums on the local, state, provincial, national and international levels. The Association participates in virtually every significant rulemaking affecting professional truckers, testifies at all major hearings on trucking issues, and participates in industry-wide organizations and conferences.<\/p>\n<p>All OOIDA officers and directors are now, or have been, professional truckers, and are elected from the membership, by the membership. The 22-member board helps define OOIDA\u2019s position on all major trucking issues. We also have a fully staffed Government Affairs office in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to helping small business truckers and professional drivers participate in the legislative and regulatory process and to tell their story to lawmakers. OOIDA\u2019s Government Affairs office maintains an active grassroots advocacy effort that alerts members whenever legislative or regulatory developments necessitate a call for action. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are 150,000+ members strong About OOIDA The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association is the international trade association representing the interests of independent owner-operators and professional drivers on all issues that affect truckers.
