Make Trucking Great Again Association!

Founded during the historic May Day 2020 Movement in Washington, D.C., we are America's first trucking association dedicated to uniting and advocating for drivers, carriers, and fleets of all backgrounds. As a powerful voice for underrepresented and long-overlooked communities—including post-Soviet, immigrant, and diverse trucking professionals—we tackle the toughest challenges in the industry.

Legacy in Motion: Driving the Future of Trucking, Supporting Drivers, Carriers, and Fleets Across Borders

We are building a
trucking industry

Our mission

is to fight for fairness, equity, and meaningful reform while building bridges that unite the trucking industry across all aisles and borders.

Where every driver, carrier, and fleet has the tools, support, and voice they need to succeed.

From eliminating ghost companies and advocating for fair insurance rates to reforming Hours of Service (HOS) regulations, improving truck parking infrastructure, and addressing predatory towing practices,

Our Core Advocacy Areas

Image

Eliminating Ghost Companies and Fraudulent MC Numbers

Ghost companies exploit drivers, evade accountability, and harm legitimate businesses.

We are committed to

Image

Enforcing stricter criteria for issuing Motor Carrier (MC) numbers, ensuring only credible operators can enter the industry.

Image

Eliminating ghost companies that are undermining the integrity of the industry.

Image

Implementing regular audits and monitoring of MC holders to prevent fraud and abuse.

Image

Promoting transparency in carrier registration to protect drivers and fleets from fraudulent entities.

Advocating for Better Insurance Rates

Fleets and drivers are burdened by skyrocketing insurance costs and unfair liability policies.

We’re fighting for

Image

Insurance reforms to lower premiums for truckers and fleets.

Image

Policies that hold individual parties accountable, instead of unfairly penalizing fleets.

Image

Fair insurance structures that protect drivers and businesses without creating financial strain.

Improving Truck Parking Infrastructure

Safe and accessible parking is a top priority for truckers

We are:

Image

Advocating for expanded parking facilities to address chronic shortages.

Image

Eliminating ghost companies that are undermining the integrity of the industry.

Image

Collaborating with federal and state authorities to fund new rest stops and improve existing ones.

Image

Promoting safety initiatives so drivers can rest without fear of fines or safety risks.

Addressing Predatory Towing Practices

Truckers are frequently victims of unethical towing practices, resulting in exorbitant fees

We support:

Image

Establishing standardized regulations to cap towing fees and ensure transparency in pricing.

Image

Providing legal protections for drivers against predatory towing companies.

Image

Launching industry-wide awareness campaigns to educate drivers about their rights.

Empowering Underrepresented and Overlooked Driver

As the first trucking association for underrepresented groups

We are committed to:

Image

Supporting drivers and fleets with resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities.

Image

Promoting diversity and inclusion throughout the industry.

Image

Ensuring equal representation and advocacy for all trucking professionals.

Image

Reforming Hours of Service (HOS) Regulations

Current HOS rules often force drivers into rigid and unsafe schedules

We advocate for:

Image

Flexible policies that prioritize safety and autonomy while respecting real-world driving conditions.

Image

Exploring models like Canada’s 16-hour workday rule, which allows greater driver control while maintaining safety.

Image

Reforming the flawed 34-hour restart rule to support drivers’ earning potential and schedules.

Opposing Speed Limiters and Split-Speed Policies

Speed limiters and split-speed policies create dangerous road conditions and inefficiencies.

We are firmly against:

Image

Mandated speed limiters that disrupt traffic flow and increase accident risks.

Image

Split-speed policies that enforce different speed limits for trucks and other vehicles, creating unsafe driving environments.

Image

Advocating for Transparent Freight Rates and Practices

Drivers and fleets deserve clarity in payment and contracts

We are pushing for:

Fair and transparent freight contracts with no hidden fees.

Clear communication between shippers, brokers, and carriers to eliminate disputes.

Standardized payment systems to ensure drivers are paid on time.
