This is the part where OOIDA Membership pays back and where you can ask and get advice that can significantly improve you legal position and/or save you a lot of money in case you can get a penalty due the legal situation you got involved (for example your driver was involved in traffic accident)
OOIDA Is Only Accepting Owner Operators Or Small Trucking Companies
I would call this OOIDA only disadvantage. They have a strict policy where they accept only owner operators and small trucking companies that operate the fleet of few trucks. I know for a fact that some trucking companies were denied membership when their fleet expanded to more than 6 or 7 trucks. This is something that makes me personally sad but it has good sides as well so I can perfectly understand guys from OOIDA for having that policy.
Simply said this allows them to focus on their target audience and members and it would be questionable if they expand the membership to a large scale if they could be still efficient like they are now. More members requires bigger organization and more members need more areas of service you need to cover and provide.
