National Private Truck Council

About This Association

The Association was founded in 1939 as an independent organization initially named the “National Council of Private Motor Truck Operators” after attempts during the 1930s to organize a special private truck conference of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) failed. In 1947, the ATA created a competing organization called “The Private Carrier Conference (PCC)” and it became the largest affiliate of the ATA. In 1953, the National Council of Private Motor Truck Operators changed its name to the “Private Truck Council of America” (PTCA). For over forty years, the PCC and the PTCA operated separately as competitors representing the private fleet trucking industry in Washington, D.C.
