Overview

Mission

The association represents the interests of the motor truck industry (common/contract carriers, private carriers, government agency fleets, manufacturers, dealers, truck driving schools and suppliers) serving the economy of New York state.

What it reported doing in 2024

Truck driving championships: 2-day safety event for commerical truck drivers. Drivers are required to take a written exam which tests their knowledge of the rules and regulations of the trucking industry. They are also required to conduct a pre-trip inspection of their vehicle and participate in a driving test. Winners go on to compete at a national event.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
