The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) is making it easier for new carriers to join the nation’s leading truckload trade group. Through its Motor Carrier Introductory Membership Campaign, the organization is rolling out a 75% discount on first-year dues for carriers who have not yet joined.
Removing Barriers to Entry
“This campaign reflects our commitment to building a stronger, more connected truckload community,” said Zander Gambill, TCA’s vice president of membership and outreach. “Thanks to TCA’s strong financial position, we’re able to offer this discounted rate, allowing new carriers to experience firsthand the value of our programs, advocacy, and peer network without financial hesitation. By removing the financial barrier to joining, we’re accelerating engagement.”
Why TCA Is Launching the Campaign
The initiative is part of TCA’s broader effort to grow and diversify its membership. By offering such a significant discount, the association hopes to welcome new voices into its network and strengthen the overall truckload sector.
“This strategic initiative allows new carrier members to access TCA’s full suite of benefits, which include industry-leading education, networking events, advocacy, and participation in our recognition programs at a significantly reduced one-time membership dues offering,” TCA said.
Benefits for New Carrier Members
With this special offer, carriers will receive full member access immediately, which includes opportunities such as:
- Educational certificates and professional development training
- Participation in Profitability Benchmarking and Best Practice Groups
- Invitations to high-profile events, including Call on Washington, Fall Business Meetings, Bridging Border Barriers, and the 2026 Annual Convention
- Eligibility for recognition programs like TCA Elite Fleet, Fleet Safety Awards, Professional Drivers of the Year, and Highway Angels of the Year
Strengthening the Truckload Sector
“This initiative aligns with TCA’s long-term goals to grow its carrier membership, increase associate member engagement, and reinforce the strength and sustainability of the truckload sector,” TCA said.
