NCTA Network 2025: Where Carriers and Brokers Connect

Brokers will find safe carriers here. Carriers will find business here.

What to Expect

• Candid dialogue about what’s working—and what’s not—in broker-carrier relationships
• Collaborative sessions that go beyond surface-level networking
• Actionable insights to help both sides build better partnerships
• A community-first setting that reflects NCTA’s values of trust, transparency, and connection
• Reduce fraud by meeting face-to-face—building trust and accountability to prevent double brokering, identity theft, and cargo/payment fraud
• Keep your shippers happy by connecting with NCTA carrier members who are 35% safer and 37% more compliant than nonmembers, according to ATRI’s 2024 study

Why It Matters

In a market where working with the wrong partner can cost time and money, NCTA Network 2025 is about cutting through the noise. It’s a chance to sit down, speak openly, and walk away with stronger relationships and smarter strategies.

Whether you’re a carrier looking for reliable freight or a broker seeking dependable capacity, this is where North Carolina’s freight community comes together.
