HTA HELPS OWNER-OPERATORS
GROW THEIR BUSINESS
by Karla Sanchez, Director of Programs & Communications
This year's National Truck Driver Appreciation Week took place on September 12-18, 2021, and the
HTA was able to kick it off at Port Pro's 1st Annual Port Fest at the Museum of Latin American Art in
Long Beach, CA. The event brought truck drivers and their families together for a fun Sunday
afternoon that included a mariachi band, food trucks, carnival games, raffles, and Aztec dancers.
HTA staff was happy to connect with the truck driver community in person and share important
updates on our Trucker Advantage Program (TAP). We want to announce that our Trucker
Advantage Program will now be FREE to ALL TRUCKERS moving forward to continue the
celebrations.
Our program helps Owner-Operators and Independent Contractors become better entrepreneurs.
The TAP is a marketplace where you can choose from various products and services to boost small
businesses to become successful at discounted prices, thanks to the HTA combined purchasing
power. Furthermore, it's a program that enables the process of obtaining Commercial Liability
Insurance, DOT/MC numbers, Permits & Own Authority, Occupational Accident, Fuel Discounts,
Retirement Plans & much more all in one web-based platform.
Rest assured, every vendor was hand-
picked based on their expertise and
readiness to help truck drivers succeed
and grow their business. Our Compliance
and Regulatory vendors are readily
available to help create a new entity, LLC,
or corporation. By becoming a TAP
member, owner-operators can feel at ease
