About Motor Transport Association of Connecticut

The Motor Transport Association of Connecticut, Inc. (MTAC) was founded in 1920 with less than 20 members. Over the years, membership has grown to almost 1,400 companies. In 1933, MTAC joined the American Highway Freight Association. Later that year, the American Highway Freight Association and the Federated Truck Association merged to become the American Trucking Associations (ATA). MTAC has been part of the ATA Federation ever since. Much has changed over the last 90 years. Many traditional freight haulers have either closed their operations or moved their operations out of Connecticut. Federal regulations governing trucks engaged in interstate for-hire carry have expanded to now include just about every commercial vehicle on the road. Small companies such as landscaping or plumbing that happen to use trucks in their business are just as likely to be MTAC members as traditional over-the-road freight companies. Whether a true trucking company or a business that happens to use a truck, each finds value in belonging to MTAC. Many members have been with the association for 50 years or more. As an organization, MTAC maintains trusted, long-term relationships with nearly every member. People rely on the guidance and advice offered by MTAC in many areas. This explains why so many members feel as if they are as much a part of a “family” as they are members of a trade association.
