Founded in 1973, OOIDA represents professional drivers and works to affect state and federal legislation regarding the trucking industry. Its nearly 160,000 members of OOIDA are men and women in all 50 states of the United States of America and Canada who collectively own and/or operate more than 240,000 individual heavy-duty trucks and small truck fleets.
