BOISE, ID, October 8, 2025 — truckstop.com.com and the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) today formed a strategic partnership to expand access to cybersecurity protections and fraud prevention resources across the trucking industry, with a focus on small carriers and owner-operators most vulnerable to cyberattacks and cargo crime.
Why the Partnership Matters
The freight ecosystem’s integrity depends on strong security standards and practices at every level. NMFTA has protected that integrity for 60 years through its role in developing industry standards like SCAC® and spearheading critical initiatives in cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and digital transformation. This partnership with truckstop.com expands NMFTA’s impact by reaching small carriers and owner-operators—the segments most at risk from cyberattacks, fraud, and cargo crime.
“Protecting our industry requires collaboration,” said Todd Waldron, Vice President of Carrier Experience at truckstop.com. “By partnering with NMFTA, we’re ensuring that carriers of all sizes have access to the resources they need to defend their businesses and strengthen the entire freight ecosystem.”
