Truck Owners and Drivers Association of Asia
By the Truckers, For the Truckers.
Truckers need to unite to get a rule changed, a law passed, a treaty renegotiated or a regulator moved — which is why a Global Network of associations exists.
Cross-border transit agreements
MultilateralOverland freight across Asia depends on transit agreements negotiated between states. Permit availability determines who may run.
Driver licence and qualification recognition
BilateralA qualification earned in one country rarely travels to the next. Mutual recognition requires agreement.
Corridor infrastructure investment
National and multilateralOverland corridor viability depends on public investment decisions taken between governments and development banks.
Customs harmonisation
Regional blocsDocumentation and inspection differ at every border. Harmonisation is a state-to-state process.
Informal and platform-mediated employment
National labour lawAcross much of the region the driver is self-employed with no social protection. Extending coverage is legislative.
Vehicle standards divergence
Regional blocsWeights, dimensions and emissions requirements differ across neighbouring markets, forcing transhipment at borders.
Each of these answers something on the list above. This is the work of moving those decisions, not a catalogue of services.

Four Ways for Truckers of the World, Unite!
Associates
Truck owners, drivers, owner-operators, motor carriers, companies and transport workers. The foundation of the Global Network and its chapters.
Enterprise
Organizations in a deeper commercial and operational relationship with the Global Network of Associations, delivering mission-aligned services under its governance.
Affiliates
Providers of resources and services - compliance, insurance, finance, equipment, software and training, delivering benefits to Associates under agreed terms.
Collaborators
Media, influencers, digital creators, researchers, educators, advocacy groups and campaign partners who amplify the work and build it with us.
The Association invites local and regional associations, truck owners, motor carriers and professional drivers to build this with us.
Road freight is carried by the people doing the work, and their expertise is what matters most. Joining means becoming a regional partner in the Global Network of Associations worldwide — what is learned here reaches operators on every other corridor the Global Network covers, and what they have learned comes back.
Let us build a future where the road freight sector is robust, inclusive and forward-thinking.
