During the early years, PMTA experienced a recognition problem among the many small trucking concerns scattered throughout the state. This situation changed in 1937 when PMTA had incorporated into a revised Public Utility Act a special section relating to trucks. That additions corrected an earlier oversight as trucks and the trucking industry received very little consideration in the original Public Utilities Act of 1911. Thus, many additional truck operators become aware of PMTA and benefited from this service. The story of PMTA s last 73 years is a rich legacy that serves as a firm foundation for the Association s commitment not only to the future of trucking Pennsylvania, but on the national front as well.
