What American Moving & Storage Association does

American Trucking Associations (ATA), the parent federation under which the American Moving & Storage Association's Moving & Storage Conference operates, is the largest national trade association for the U.S. trucking industry, founded in 1933 and structured as a non-profit federation of 50 affiliated state trucking associations and industry councils. Its commercial arm, ATA Business Solutions, is a multi-category e-commerce platform offering economic reports and subscriptions (Driver Compensation Study, Trucking Trends, Freight Transportation Forecast), safety and security resources, fleet maintenance products (including TMC recommended practices and the VMRS standard), BOC-3 filing services authorized by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, council memberships, conferences, moving and storage resources, accounting/finance products, and branded merchandise.

Revenue is generated across five primary streams: recurring membership dues with affiliated state associations, one-time annual BOC-3 filings at $99 per year for non-members plus a $99 add-on for freight forwarder authority, recurring subscriptions to economic publications, recurring Corporate Partner Program fees from Allied member companies, and event/conference revenue. Distribution combines a direct e-commerce storefront (atabusinesssolutions.com) with a federation-based reseller channel spanning 50 state trucking associations, supplemented by a tiered Gold/Silver Corporate Partner Program that markets partner products and services to member fleets. Customer segments include for-hire motor carriers, property brokers, and freight forwarders as primary members; Allied members and corporate partners as a secondary monetization channel; and freight forwarders requiring FMCSA filings as a transactional segment. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed in the available source data.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• SAE International: SAE International develops mobility engineering standards and runs industry events, providing technical standards (analogous to ATA's VMRS) and professional networking. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but useful as a reference point for monetizing standards IP.
• Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA): CVSA is an international organization of government and industry stakeholders focused on commercial vehicle safety enforcement and standards. It is adjacent to ATA's safety mission (CSA resources, safety awards) and overlaps on policy influence in trucking safety regulation.

Broad incumbents

• American Bus Association (ABA): ABA is the trade association for the intercity bus industry, applying the same membership/advocacy/conference model as ATA but in an adjacent transportation segment. Useful as a broad incumbent comparable on business model design and non-dues revenue development.
• National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA): NADA is a large, established trade association for franchised auto dealers. It is comparable to ATA as a broad motor-industry trade association operating a federation-style model with significant non-dues revenue (conferences, publications, affinity services).

Emerging players

• FreightWaves: FreightWaves is a data, media, and events company covering the freight economy — offering SONAR data, FreightWavesTV, and the FreightTech 25 Awards. It is an emerging competitor to ATA's content, benchmarking, and conference offerings and represents the digital-native threat to ATA's traditional information franchise.

Direct peers

• Truckload Carriers Association (TCA): TCA is the trade association for truckload carriers, directly competing with ATA for member fleets and offering overlapping conferences, advocacy, and benchmarking services — making it a closely comparable peer on business model and customer overlap.
• National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA): NMFTA develops the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) standards used across the trucking industry. It is comparable to ATA as a trucking industry standards-setting body with overlapping membership, technical council activity, and policy influence.
• Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA): OOIDA is the largest trade association representing professional truck drivers and owner-operators in the U.S. It is the closest direct peer to ATA — applying the same membership, advocacy, lobbying, and member-services model to a different segment of the trucking industry (drivers vs. carriers).
• American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA): AMSA is the trade association for the moving and storage industry — a vertical that ATA also serves through its Moving & Storage Conference and product category. Highly comparable on member services, advocacy mission, and conference-driven revenue.
• National Private Truck Council (NPTC): NPTC represents private fleet operators and offers management education, networking, and advocacy — directly paralleling ATA's role for for-hire carriers and competing for mindshare among large fleet operators.
