Membership Services Overview

VTBA has joined with Acadia Insurance Company to offer a cargo and fleet insurance program which includes competitive rates, dividends, one-hour claim service and more. Qualified members may also join the NH Motor Transportation Safety Group and potentially earn back dividends.

Legislative Support

You are well-represented in the New Hampshire Legislature. Robert J. Sculley is a registered lobbyist for the VTBA. The success rate of the association’s lobbying efforts has established the VTBA as one of the most effective trade associations on record.

Heavy Truck Driver Apprenticeship Program

VTBA has crafted (with the help of the US DOL) a set of skills (both driving and communication) that allows employers to gauge a driver’s ability to meet/exceed to train the driver to be a valuable asset to the motor carrier.

Forms and Supplies

All the forms and supplies required by State and Federal governments for the transportation industry are available through the VTBA office. We buy our materials in bulk to offer you the lowest prices in the state.

Newsletter and Email Blast

A monthly newsletter and weekly email containing industry updates, regulation changes and information that is pertinent to your business.
