American Trucking Associations

American Trucking Associations's $9.7M in disclosed federal lobbying puts it in the mid-tier of registered filers. Spending in the seven-figure range is common for established trade groups, mid-size corporations, and advocacy organizations that maintain a steady but not aggressive presence on Capitol Hill.

Across the 5-year window from 2020 to 2024, American Trucking Associations's annual disclosed lobbying spend has held roughly steady — $1.9M at the start versus $1.9M at the most recent year-end. Year-to-year wobbles inside that range usually reflect timing of legislative cycles rather than a strategic shift.

American Trucking Associations's disclosed lobbying covers 6 general issue areas — a moderate footprint. Filers in this range tend to engage on a coherent cluster of related topics rather than spreading effort across the federal agenda.

3 of 6 lobbyists reported by American Trucking Associations (50%) disclose prior federal government service — a high revolving-door share. The LDA cover sheet flags any "covered position" the lobbyist held in the executive branch, Congress, or a senior staff role within the past two years.

Among the named bench, lobbyists with disclosed prior federal service include David A. Thomas (Former Professional Staff Member, Senate Appropriations Committee); Kevin D. Hill (Former Special Counsel, White House Office); Christopher J. White (Former Special Counsel, White House Office). The covered-position field on LDA cover sheets captures executive-branch and senior congressional roles held within the prior two years.

Within the Trade Association sector, American Trucking Associations ranks #19 of 114 tracked organizations by disclosed lobbying spend. The sector leader is US Chamber of Commerce at $387.8M; the sector average is $9.5M. American Trucking Associations's $9.7M sits 2% above the sector average.

American Trucking Associations's LobbySpend Influence Score of 66/100 (grade B) reflects significant federal lobbying reach. The score blends disclosed total spend, issue breadth, and revolving-door connections — lobbyists with prior federal government service. A B-grade typically means the organization is well above average on at least two of those three signals, with sustained activity over multiple years rather than a one-off spike.
