Trucking Association of MA
About
The Trucking Association of Massachusetts, known as TAM, is the statewide nonprofit trade association representing the trucking and transportation industries in the Commonwealth. Its members include trucking companies, private fleet operators, municipalities, trade associations, industry suppliers and individuals with an interest in motor transportation. For businesses that run commercial trucks, TAM supplies information and resources on a costly, complicated operation, with helping members improve safety as its top priority.
The association also speaks for the industry with state lawmakers and in public debate. It has joined coalitions urging the Legislature to adopt practical strategies for cutting transportation emissions, arguing that clean diesel, hybrid and alternative-fuel trucks can reduce emissions now, and it has called for eliminating the state sales tax on rolling stock to speed fleet modernization. The association also posts alerts on traffic issues, road closures and emergency declarations affecting fuel deliveries.
