The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) is an American nonprofit membership organization headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. Its members are interstate, intrastate and international less-than-truckload (LTL) motor carriers. The association was established in 1956.

NMFTA's mission is to "promote, advance and improve the welfare and interests of the motor carrier industry and the motor carriers operating in commerce, both domestically and/or internationally."

Publications

The NMFTA publishes the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC), a standard that classifies cargo, and its online version, ClassIT. The Commodity Classification Standards Board (CCSB) develops and maintains the NMFC.

The NMFTA assigns and publishes the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC), a two- to four-letter code used to identify road transport companies. The US government and other shippers in the US require carriers have an assigned SCAC in order to transport freight on their behalf. The NMFTA also assigns and publishes the Standard Point Location Code (SPLC), a numeric code to identify locations in North America that originate and receive cargo.
