FAQ

Join the Crew questions

Short answers about the free membership and the launch gift.

Is Join the Crew really free?

Yes. Membership is free, with no dues and no card needed to join. During launch, the first 1,000 members can also claim a free VTA cap or T-shirt and pay only $5.99 shipping.

Why do I pay shipping on a free gift?

The $5.99 covers postage and packing. It also keeps the offer to one gift per real member, so more crews get one.

What happens after the first 1,000 gifts?

Membership stays free. Caps, T-shirts and polos are always available in the VTA Gear shop.

Can I choose a polo instead?

The launch gift is a cap or a T-shirt. Polos are $45 in the VTA Gear shop.

Who can join?

Drivers, equipment operators, mechanics, crews, fleet managers and students in any vocational truck industry, plus anyone who loves these trucks. Companies such as haulers, truck-and-operator companies, dealers and body manufacturers join through one contact person, which lets them list in the Truck & Operator Directory and post videos. You must be 18 or older.

What do you do with my information?

We use it to run your membership, send the emails and reminders you choose and ship your gift. VTA does not sell members' personal information, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Can my company sign up our drivers?

Yes. Fleet owners and managers can request a crew sign-up kit with a link and a QR code poster for the yard or break room.
