MISSION STATEMENT
 NASTC is dedicated to helping small trucking companies to control their costs through managed purchasing, analysis, consultation and advocacy. Our ultimate mission is to level the competitive playing field, allowing our member companies to grow, prosper and remain a significant force in the transportation industry.
NASTC exists to help our member companies save money!
Every program we develop is designed to provide efficiencies that allow more dollars to find their way to the bottom line.
Some Things We Know for Sure:
- Small companies under 50 power units comprise 95% of the carriers and 37% of the
capacity in the trucking industry.
- Large or small, the basic function of a trucking company remains the same.
- Large companies enjoy discounts, rebates, and lower costs on almost everything they
need to run their businesses.
- The difference between the small company and large company price for things cannot be
justified by volume alone.
- Existing associations tend to make policy decisions based primarily on large fleet
input.
- Small company owners and managers wear several hats, performing many different
functions. Due to this lack of specialization, time, capital and expertise, attention to
detail is often sacrificed.
- Small company owners are dedicated to safety, compliance, employee relations, and
profit and respond favorably to programs that provide affordable assistance in reaching
goals in those areas.

How Does NASTC Operate?
We approach the vendor community and negotiate for the purchase of products and services based on the potential volume of our entire group. Because we currently represent over 2000 trucking companies that operate in excess of 50,000 power units, our potential volume is very attractive to most vendors. By endorsing the vendor we provide a valuable marketing service to them while saving our members bottom line dollars on the things they need to run their businesses. The vendor gains customers that they often cannot afford to pursue on their own; the trucking company buys the product and/or service at a price that is less than they would normally pay, and we take another step towards making the competitive playing field a little more level.

We would love to discuss the benefits of NASTC membership for your company with you. It is important for us to determine if joining our group is a good business decision for you. If what we are doing won't save your company a substantial amount of bottom line dollars we would recommend that you not join NASTC.
