Marsh & McLennan Agency Liability Insurance Program:
MMA’s insurance program is designed to provide Product Liability coverage for NATM’s Trailer Manufacturing members. According to John Kerr of MMA, “NATM members have seen their insurance premiums decrease on average by more than 30%.” Why, “because your membership in the NATM means something. We have spent the better part of the last ten years educating the insurance industry on how membership in the NATM leads to better built trailers that result in fewer insurance claims. You deserve a premium break for your commitment to building a safer trailer and our insurance program is built around delivering that break to you.”

US Agent:
International members, do you need a US Agent to conduct business inside the United States?
Under Subpart D of 49 CFR Part 551 foreign manufacturers, assemblers and importers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment (which includes trailers) must designate an agent in U.S. on whom service of administrative or judicial notices or processes may be made before they are able to offer their products for importation into the United States. Until such an agent has been appointed, the company may not import motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment into the United States. (49 CFR § 551.45 and § 551.46).
Some NATM member companies have subsidiaries or other affiliates within the United States who meet this requirement and serve as the appointed agent. Other NATM members have sought out lawyers or other third parties to fill this role. NATM has recently decided that they will offer this service
to members as a benefit of membership at the rate of $500 annually. Please contact Bill Tofflemire if you’re interested in having NATM
serve as your US Agent.
