Welcome To NASTC
In 1989 David Owen and Buster Anderson decided to establish an active association for small trucking companies, nationwide that serves as an advocate for, a consultant to, and a source of collective buying power for its member companies. The National Association of Small Trucking Companies (NASTC) has grown to represent over 2600 members in the United States and Canada and continues to grow each month. NASTC not only saves its member companies millions of dollars a year through participation in their innovative cost reduction programs, but also has become recognized as "the voice for small trucking companies" by the Washington establishment.

"Since joining NASTC in June of 1997, we've seen very significant savings for our over-the-road fuel purchases due to the utilization of the Quality Plus Network (QPN) discounted fuel stops. We highly recommend joining NASTC."
