Industry Advocacy That Moves Freight

TMTA gives motor carriers a unified voice within the complex operating environment of the Port of Virginia. From terminal operations and infrastructure concerns to safety initiatives and regulatory discussions, members gain direct access to conversations that impact day-to-day trucking operations across Hampton Roads.

Built for the Realities of Port Trucking

The intermodal environment requires constant coordination between terminals, railroads, chassis providers, government agencies, and carriers. TMTA helps members stay informed, address operational challenges collaboratively, and strengthen communication between the trucking industry and key port stakeholders.

Stronger Connections Across the Industry

TMTA connects carriers with trusted local vendors, service providers, and logistics partners that understand the demands of port operations. Members build valuable relationships with companies supporting maintenance, towing, chassis services, insurance, compliance, parking, and other critical operational needs.

Driving the Future of Freight in Hampton Roads

For decades, TMTA has supported the trucking industry’s role in regional commerce and economic growth. Today, the organization continues that mission through advocacy, workforce awareness, education, leadership development, and TRAC reporting initiatives that help identify operational issues and support practical, fact-based solutions throughout the port community.
