The mission of the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association is to

• Serve owner-operators, small fleets and professional drivers
• To work for a business climate where truckers are treated equally and fairly

• Educating and informing truckers of political and economic issues that will affect their lives and their profession through newsletters, publications and meetings
• Encouraging members to actively participate and communicate with appropriate public officials on legislative and regulatory issues
• Upgrading highway safety by supporting and advocating responsible initiatives that will produce measurable improvements in highway safety for truckers and other highway users
• Defending the rights of professional truckers in the courts and other jurisdictions when those rights are threatened
• Implementing benefit programs where members can combine their purchasing power for better pricing and discounts on items essential to their business
