Join the Nevada Trucking Association

Founded in 1932 as the Commercial Motor Operators of Nevada, the association was created to defend the trucking industry against government actions that threatened its safety, efficiency, and profitability.

Today, as the Nevada Trucking Association, it continues that mission—advocating for the industry and helping shape practical, effective legislation.

Members rely on the NTA to navigate ongoing challenges, including rising insurance costs, driver shortages, evolving regulations, and legal pressures from abusive litigation.

The NTA also works to ensure lawmakers, regulators, the media, and the public understand a simple truth: trucking is essential.

Beyond trucking, the association supports broader business issues that impact its members, their customers, and Nevada’s economy.
