Each Motor Carrier with a FMCSA MC number and each Independent Contractor (IC) is considered to be a separate company. This is based on certain States that have the “A, B, C Rule” plus Dept. of Labor (DOL) & Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations and each entity is required to submit an NTA Membership application to gain access to our Master Policy.
Important: NTA dues will be billed by NorthAmerican Transportation Association and Insurance premiums will be billed by NTA Administrative Services. NTA uses Intuit QuickBooks as its billing protocol. Be advised that any business with NTA is a credit account reported to a division of Equifax. See website for the required document forms. On ALL forms “Your name constitutes your Signature.”
Membership is necessary to prove that the individual to be covered is in reality an Independent Contractor in the eyes of the Dept. of Labor (DOL) and the various State courts using the “A, B, C Rule” i.e., California and to gain access to our Benefits and Services.
Membership for a Motor Carrier is based on the number of drivers shown on their last MCS-150 filing. Membership for Independent Contractors starts at $100 for the sole proprietor. Memberships are paid annually and are not refundable.
This Plan Disclosure Form MUST be signed & Submitted by the party who is responsible for premium payment.
Please note that coverage always starts on the 1 of each month. There is no prorating. Policy is issued to the individual. Coverages starting after the 1 of the month must be accompanied by two months premiums, as the premiums must be paid in advance two (2) weeks before the premium is due.
Once a Certificate/Policy is issued the premium is considered earned. These Plans are considered long term coverages; therefore, a 30 day Written Notice of Cancellation is required. Please read Section II of your policy “Effective Dates and Termination Dates” for more specific information of your rights and responsibilities.
All billing is done on the 15th of each month prior to the premium period and all automatic ACH and/or Credit Card deductions are done on the 16 of each month. There is a $5.00 admin fee added to cover each personal policy issued.
After your coverage is in place, you will have the following options of paying your premiums. 1) pay by ACH deduction ($5.00 fee), 2) pay by credit card (5% charge with a $5 minimum charge applies), or with Approved credit options 3 & 4. 3) pay on-line, and 4) by mail.
If you need a Certificate Holder listed on your Notice of Coverage, please make sure we have the complete information i.e., Name, Address, Tel # and email added to the Great American Application.
