Welcome to American Truckers United
The American trucking industry is at a crossroads, facing unprecedented challenges that threaten the livelihoods of American truckers and the safety of our roads. Over the past eight years, an alarming rise in fatal truck crashes coincides with the influx of unqualified, untrained, and unvetted drivers, a direct result of illegal drivers and open borders. This practice, heavily facilitated by brokerage operations, not only undermines the advanced safety technologies designed to make our highways safer but also exploits drivers, forcing down wages and compromising road safety.
American Truckers United is dedicated to advocating for reform, pushing for transparency, accountability, and fair labor practices to restore dignity, safety, and economic justice for American truckers. Join us in this movement to reclaim our roads, ensuring they are driven by those who meet American standards, for the safety and prosperity of all Americans.
