Fetrabens

What Fetrabens does

Fetrabens (Federação dos Caminhoneiros Autônomos de Cargas em Geral do Estado de São Paulo) is a private non-profit degree-superior trade union federation founded on November 27, 1985, and headquartered at Rua Heróis da FEB, nº 09, Parque Novo Mundo, São Paulo, Brazil. The organization represents independent self-employed heavy-truck drivers who transport cargo on Brazil's highway network, coordinating 24 affiliated unions (sindicatos filiados) across São Paulo State municipalities including São Paulo capital, Santos, Guarulhos, Sorocaba, Ribeirão Preto, Presidente Prudente, São José do Rio Preto, and others. Fetrabens is recognized as a technical and consultative reference by federal and state bodies, including ANTT (Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres), and engages in collective bargaining, regulatory advocacy, and minimum-freight-floor policy work alongside the national confederation CNTA.

The federation operates a digital ecosystem built around the FROTANET mobile application (Google Play), the fetrabens.com.br website, a WhatsApp Business channel, the Calculadora de Estadia online tool, the SAAC national mediation chamber (delivered via camaradocaminhoneiro.com.br), and the TV Fetrabens YouTube channel housing a 1,426-article news archive and video programming. These digital channels layer over a decentralized distribution model in which the 24 affiliated unions deliver ANTT-accredited RNTRC registration, dispute mediation, and member support. Supplementary service lines delivered through partnerships include 24/7 medical, nursing, psychological, and nutritional assistance via Duo24Horas, vehicle insurance brokerage via Segurostruck, and a mobile health-unit program (in partnership with Brazil's Ministry of Health) that since February 2026 has recorded 7,434 attendances, 11,468 procedures, 8,534 rapid tests, and 1,214 vaccines with a 99% resolubility index.

As a non-profit trade union entity, Fetrabens does not disclose commercial pricing and is funded through the affiliated-union structure rather than direct service revenue. Revenue is therefore not commercially meaningful in the conventional SaaS sense; the federation monetizes through union dues, institutional representation, and partner-channel services (insurance brokerage commissions and partner-delivered health benefits). The current president, Everaldo de Azevedo Bastos, leads a 2025-2030 mandate and also serves as Fetrabens' representative before CNTA, positioning the federation as a national-level interlocutor on autonomous-transporter policy.
