Truckers of the World, Unite!
One global network. A federation of associations built by truckers, for truckers — wherever the road runs, whatever language it runs in.
A Global Network, Built Chapter by Chapter
The Truck Owners and Drivers Association was founded in Houston, Texas, in 2019, out of a simple observation: truckers everywhere face the same fights — unfair rates, opaque paperwork, rising compliance costs, and too few seats at the tables where the rules get written — yet no network existed to face them together.
Today that network spans more than 35 chapters and sub-chapters across 17 languages. Each chapter is rooted in the roads, regulations, and language of its own drivers, and every one of them is connected through a single, shared association.

One Association of Associations
The Truck Owners and Drivers Association is not a single office issuing directives from afar — it is a federation. National and regional associations, each self-governing and accountable to its own members, united under a shared Doctrine and a shared mission. Every chapter and sub-chapter carries the strength of the global network behind it, while keeping the local knowledge that only truckers on those specific roads can offer.
Associates
Drivers and owner-operators who form the foundation of the Association and take part in its governance.
Affiliates
Approved service and product providers formally affiliated with the Association, globally or by chapter.
Collaborators
Individuals and organizations connected to trucking, logistics, or policy who contribute expertise and support.
Enterprise
Businesses aligned with Enterprise Chapters, building the network's capacity without losing its mission-first purpose.

Truckers of the World, Unite!
A driver in Houston and a driver in Lagos, in Manila or in Warsaw, are answering the same call: get the freight there safely, get paid fairly, and get treated as the backbone of the supply chain rather than an afterthought in it. Alone, that call goes unheard in most rooms that matter. Together, as one association speaking in seventeen languages, it does not.
This is why the Association exists: unity across every border a truck crosses, fairness in every rate and every rule, ownership that stays with the people doing the driving, and a network strong enough to be local everywhere at once. What that commitment looks like in practice is written down — in the Unitatis Doctrine and in the Truckers Manifesto — so that no chapter, in any language, has to guess what the Association stands for.
