Introduction to WMBE & Its Impact on Business Growth

Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) certification, as highlighted on the certification page, is an essential tool for minority and women-owned businesses seeking to enhance their market presence. This certification provides these businesses with increased opportunities for public contracts and procurement, fostering growth and development in a competitive marketplace.


Advantages of WMBE Certification

WMBE Certification offers unique access to government and public sector contracts, reserved specifically for certified businesses. This access allows minority and women-owned businesses, especially those in the trucking industry, to compete in an environment where opportunities are often limited, aiding in their growth and expansion.


Eligibility Criteria & the Certification Journey

To be eligible for WMBE certification, businesses need to be at least 51% owned and controlled by minorities or women. The certification process involves a comprehensive review to verify the business meets these criteria, thus ensuring credibility and authenticity in the market.


Combining WMBE Certification with Minority Truckers Alliance Membership

For trucking companies owned by minorities or women, pairing WMBE certification with membership in the Minority Truckers Alliance (MTA) can offer substantial benefits. MTA provides support and resources specifically tailored to the trucking industry, complementing the advantages of WMBE certification.


Networking & Collaborative Opportunities within MTA

Membership in MTA opens up a network of industry professionals and peers crucial for building partnerships, sharing insights, and exploring collaborative business opportunities that can lead to significant growth and development.


Access to Industry-Specific Resources & Support

MTA offers its members access to resources specifically designed for the trucking industry, including educational tools, regulatory updates, and training. These resources are crucial for staying competitive and informed in the dynamic trucking industry.


Advocacy & Representation for Minority and Women Truckers

MTA actively advocates for the interests of its minority and women members, ensuring their specific needs in the trucking industry are addressed and their voices are heard, fostering a supportive and equitable business environment.


Enhancing Business Visibility & Credibility

Utilizing WMBE certification in conjunction with MTA membership boosts the stature of minority and women-owned trucking businesses, highlighting their commitment to excellence and diversity, and attracting potential clients and business partners.
