Would you donate to a veterans' support campaign through a discounted membership?
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) is running its Truckers For Troops campaign from November 9 to 15, 2026, discounting new and renewing memberships to $35 for U.S. truckers and drivers.
Why it matters
Truckers are a veteran-heavy workforce, and the campaign turns ordinary membership dues into support for service members and veteran care facilities. Because the discounted price applies during a single week, drivers weighing a membership or renewal have a limited window to act.
The campaign runs November 9 to 15, with memberships discounted to $35 and 10% of campaign dues directed to Truckers For Troops. OOIDA will match donations dollar for dollar from that 10% allocation.
The players
Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA)
A trucking trade association representing independent owner-operators, which runs the Truckers For Troops program.
U.S. Census Bureau
The federal statistical agency whose estimate places veterans among roughly 1 in 10 professional truck drivers.
The details
Members can join or renew by calling 816-229-5791 and mentioning Truckers for Troops. They can also mail a check payable to the OOIDA Foundation or OOIDA with 'TROOPS' written on the memo line. Ten percent of the dues collected during the campaign is allocated to the effort, and OOIDA matches donations from that allocation dollar for dollar.
Timeline
November 9-15, 2026: Truckers For Troops campaign runs with discounted $35 memberships.
The Home Front
The Census Bureau's estimate that 1 in 10 professional truck drivers are veterans shows how closely the trucking workforce is tied to military service. Organizations like OOIDA draw on that overlap to channel member dues toward veteran and service-member support.
If you drive for a living or are considering OOIDA membership, the campaign runs November 9 to 15 with memberships at $35. Call 816-229-5791 and mention Truckers for Troops, or mail a check marked 'TROOPS' to take advantage of the discount.
The takeaway
The $35 membership price applies only during the November 9-15 window, so drivers who plan to join or renew should act within that week. Note the memo line 'TROOPS' on any mailed check so the contribution is credited to the campaign.
