OODIA are you a member?
 

Is it worth joining OODIA? Are the benefits worth it? if you refer me I get my first year cheaper and I think you get a referral fee. I need name and ID number.

The only positive thing I've heard is that Paccar will give a $1000 discount to OREIDA members purchasing a new truck.

Beyond that, I see no reason to join. They lose most of the fights they pick.

OOIDA
 

Not worth it to me. They don't always represent truckers the way I would want to be represented. They are always looking for another company to sue because some of their members can't read their leases. They want government to control things like fuel surcharge, but don't like it when government controls things like speed limits.

I have been a member for years. While there are some things I would like to see them do differently, they can be a good resource for drivers and owner operators. One thing I like about them is that they stay on top of pending legislation and keep us informed about changes in various state and federal laws which might affect us. I think they need to find a better law firm. The one they have doesn't have as good a win record as I would like, but then there is always something we don't like about other organizations. As far as I know they are the only voice we have that represents the professional driver, owner operator and independent.

Thought you were being a smart *** there for a moment, I punched NAIT into Google and it came back with North American Islamic Trust. :lol:
