Chinese Trucking Association of California Inc Officially Launches

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — The Chinese Trucking Association of California Inc (CTAC) officially launched in June 2026. A California-registered 501(c)(6) trade association, CTAC serves Chinese Class 8 truck operators across the state — drayage, long-haul, and regional, regardless of fleet size.

The association answers three years of community calls. Premiums rose more than 60% in three years, with no leverage for solo operators. CARB and FMCSA rules update faster than native-language guidance can keep up. Port drayage brokers' delayed payments and price-downs have lacked structural response.

CTAC supports Chinese-speaking trucking professionals building their businesses and careers in California. We provide bilingual industry resources, practical tools, and opportunities to connect, helping drivers and fleets find information, understand requirements, and communicate shared concerns.

Phase one delivers six member essentials: insurance quotes, fuel & repair access, the weekly policy brief, compliance checklists, broker watch, and a quarterly service report. On top of that, CTAC will build an eight-pillar service system (group purchasing, policy & compliance, operations support, roots & growth, industry data, advocacy, community, vendor network) over the coming year.

CTAC also announced that its sister entity, the CTAC Education Foundation, is in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) status. The Foundation focuses on public education — career entry, driver-to-owner mentorship, English, and immigration knowledge — with finances and governance fully independent from the Association.

The inaugural Founding Member Meetup will be held on July 19, 2026 in Monterey Park, Los Angeles, for founding members only. See the events page or email info@ctaca.org for details.
