Join NATDA !!!

 

The NATDA was founded in 2007 with the vision of creating an Association for trailer dealers that would bring together the right products, services, education and training to help dealers become more successful business operators.  We have fought long and hard to bring new programs to our members that would either save them money in the operation of the dealership or bring them new sources of revenue.  The trailer industry needs to become strong and unified to attract the banks, and lenders that we need to prosper.  As a dealer the NATDA is your association.  We want every trailer dealer to be proud to have an association and a great team working hard for you every day.  We also want you to get value for your $245 membership investment.  We have developed benefits for you that go beyond the scope of any association.  You need to make sure that you are utilizing every tool available to help your dealership prosper.  NATDA has programs in place for you.  They only work if you take advantage of them.  This is your association, be proud to be an NATDA member.  Who else really has your back? 

 

Because of the current state of the economy, it has forced dealers to tighten the belt, and hunker down.  Everybody knows that we have to make changes to stay afloat.  How do we make changes without spending money?  Joining NATDA in one of the best changes that you can make in 2010, and the truth is membership doesn’t cost, it actually makes you money.  How can your $245 membership to NATDA actually make you money?  Read on, and we will show you
