Promoting the Success of the Trucking Industry in Iowa The organization quickly flourished and has been respected and recognized since its inception.

The Iowa Motor Truck Association was formed in 1942 after a group of motor carriers felt that Iowa’s trucking industry needed a voice at the State Capitol. The association not only is the recognized voice of trucking, it is also a valued business partner to its members through the variety of membership benefits that are offered by the association. Currently the Iowa Motor Truck Association has over 700 member companies and continues to strengthen its foundation by enrolling additional members. The Iowa Motor Truck Association is headquartered in Des Moines at the foot of the State Capitol. In 1996, Iowa’s trucking industry further illustrated its confidence and leadership by purchasing land at the foot of the Capitol and constructing a 10,000 square foot office building. The Iowa Motor Truck Association office building has been heavily utilized by business groups, legislative leaders and association members. The building features a 50 seat conference center, a 15 seat board room and a spacious atrium area that features a beautiful view of the golden dome of the Iowa State Capitol. The headquarters building is a source of growing pride for the IMTA membership.

Thank you for doing the job - and doing it well.
