Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), representing over 150,000 independent owner-operators and professional drivers across the U.S. and Canada.

OOIDA's mission is to serve owner-operators, small fleets, and professional truckers by advocating for fair treatment, promoting highway safety, and improving the business climate for all truck operators. Since 1973, OOIDA has championed truckers' interests through engagement with government agencies, legislatures, and private businesses. We participate in significant rulemaking, testify at hearings, and represent truckers on various committees at all levels.

Stay connected with OOIDA for the latest updates and advocacy efforts. Visit our website to learn more.
