Welcome to the Carhaul Division webpage—home
to scores of local unions that represent nearly 12,000 workers across the
United States. These workers have a strong impact on all of our lives,
safely transporting all newly manufactured cars and trucks in the United
States and Canada.
Teamster bargaining unit employees have been doing
this work under the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement (NMATA)
since the 1940s.
The Carhaul Division coordinates activities and priorities with local and
regional representatives. We negotiate and administer NMATA, which applies
to vehicle transport nationwide, and ensure that employers meet their
commitments to Teamster-represented employees.
Our goals are to:
- Negotiate multi-area, multi-employer carhaul agreements
that set the industry standard;
- Organize strategically, targeting non-union companies;
- Raise wages and benefits to be the highest in the
industry;
- Protect Teamster jobs by resolving grievances and
disputes that may arise between employees and employers; and
- Support the strong National Master Automobile
Transporters Agreement and its supplements.
I am very proud to serve carhaul drivers whose professionalism and
experience continue to set the standard for the industry.
