The North American Transportation Association (NATA) recently concluded its 2025 Member Survey, gathering valuable feedback from nearly 60 member businesses. The findings, compiled with the assistance of John Yoswick and Image Output, provide a detailed look into what our members value most, where they want to get involved, and what new benefits they would like to see. From legislative representation in Salem and workers’ comp discounts to a desire for more industry-related training and software discounts, the survey results offer a clear roadmap for how NATA can best serve its community. Dive in to explore the key takeaways and discover what your fellow members had to say.
