The Healthy Trucking Association of America (HTAA) was founded in 1997 as the Independent Contractor Owner Operator Association. Since that time, shocking new revelations about how prevalent a total lack of good health has become among company drivers and owner operators have motivated our leadership to make the decision to devote our association to helping our nation’s drivers get healthy and live longer lives. With current statistics showing that over the road professions now have an average life expectancy of less than 60 years, we realized that there was a pressing need within the trucking industry for an organization that is dedicated to improving the health and wellness of our commercial driver population. We therefore renamed our association The Healthy Trucking Association of America to reflect our new goals and directives, and have since established the HTAA as the leading authority on driver health and wellness issues.
