About MMTA:

MMTA is a non-profit, member-driven trade organization that has been serving Maryland's commercial trucking industry since 1935. Today, MMTA is one of the largest trucking associations in the country, representing over 1,000 member companies.

Through the collective strength of its members, MMTA has developed effective programs that: keep our members' operating costs down; influence legislative and regulatory decisions in Annapolis and Washington; and keep our members up-to-date on the many regulations affecting commercial motor transportation.

Maryland's trucking industry is diverse, and so is MMTA's membership. Whether your trucks are for-hire or not-for-hire; if you're a mover or an intermodal drayage carrier; from delivery trucks to dry vans, tank trucks to dump trucks, industry suppliers to owner-operators—MMTA represents the entire industry, and gives a strong voice to each segment.
