We’re excited to announce the launch of a brand-new benefit for LMTA members — the LMTA Association Sponsored Health Plan, powered by USI Insurance Services.

This exclusive program was designed to help our members take control of one of the biggest challenges facing trucking companies today: the rising cost of employee health coverage. By joining together under one plan, LMTA members can now access lower costs, greater transparency, and trucking-specific health and wellness benefits — all while maintaining the flexibility and control you need as an employer.

Program Highlights:

• Exclusive to LMTA members

• Lower costs + better benefits through collective purchasing power

• Employer-sponsored group health insurance built for trucking

• Greater plan transparency and more control over your benefits

• Wellness and care programs tailored to drivers

• Powered by USI for expert guidance and support every step of the way

This new health plan gives trucking employers the tools to reduce costs, enhance employee benefits, and improve long-term financial stability — all while keeping more value within our industry and association.

If you are interested in the plan, contact Jason Roussell with USI Insurance Services at jason.roussell@usi.com. For any other questions, contact Renee Amar at renee@lmta.la.

Together, we’re helping LMTA members build stronger businesses — and healthier teams.
