Welcome to American Truckers United
The team behind the national movement demanding English proficiency for truck drivers — and calling for bans on non-domicile CDLs and B1 visitor visa abuse by Mexico and Canada — has now planted its roots in Oklahoma. That grassroots movement already produced a Presidential executive order, the passage of Oklahoma’s SB20, Operation Guardian, the USDOT’s final ruling on Non-Domicile CDLs, SCOTUS Broker Liability, and is now leading efforts to pass Dalilah’s Law.
Foundation Members
Oklahoma was chosen as national headquarters because of the state’s bold leadership in combating illegal alien truckers, its steadfast support for safe Main Street trucking companies, and its resistance to Wall Street mega-carrier influence.
For too long, the trucking industry has been misrepresented by voices that only speak for Wall Street fleets and unaccountable freight brokers. Yet the American trucking industry was built — and continues to thrive — on privately held, American-owned, asset-based operators. These are the companies that invest in safety, their people, their communities, and the infrastructure that makes the industry stronger. They do not outsource their operations overseas, they do not seek excessive profits by insourcing their drivers from the Third World, and they take full responsibility for the vetting of their truck drivers.
Governed exclusively by a board of directors composed solely of experienced asset-based operators from privately held American trucking companies — with no Wall Street carriers and no foreign controlled motor carriers — the organization will deliver a clear, united voice that puts SAFE, American-owned, asset-based fleets and their drivers first.
“Our industry was built by hard-working American truck drivers and the family-owned companies that invest in them. These companies also invest in safety, maintenance, driver vetting, and state-of-the-art equipment.” said Shannon Everett, a Founding Director. “These are the people who made American trucking great, and these are the people who will fight to make it great again.”
American Truckers United will advocate boldly against illegal immigration and illegal chameleon carriers in the brokerage ecosystem. It will fight for the industry we love by focusing on stronger highway safety, fair competition, strong borders, national security, and full accountability across the entire supply chain.
Guided by faith and grounded in the values of hard work and responsibility, American Truckers United is committed to restoring the greatness of the American-owned trucking industry. United we will Make Trucking Great Again!
