What are the costs to join?

Good news! New members can test drive the association for only $100 for the first year. The by-laws provide that each continuing member pay an annual assessment of $250 (10 or fewer employees) or $400 (11 or more employees). The payment must accompany the application, to be considered for membership. The member is also assessed a fee per twenty foot equivalent unit (TEU) shipped on association contracts.

how do i join

Joining NCBFAASA is simple! To become a member of NCBFAASA, you must first be a member of the NCBFAA. To participate in freight programs, you must be an NVOCC with an FMC bond and current OTI license number. Upon transmitting your application, membership dues check, and after approval from NCBFAASA’s Board of Directors, you will become an active member of the NCBFAASA.

Will members see my shipping inofrmation?

NO! Individual shipping information is kept in strict confidence. Anti-trust laws prohibit NCBFAASA from disclosing individual members information and prohibits members from engaging in collective rate making or discussions. Contract negotiations are conducted by association management. The association management employees cannot be a representative or employee of any individual member.

How does carrier selection work?

NCBFAASA provides contracts that offer varying degrees of service levels. You select the carrier that best fits your shipping needs. We believe it is important to have a good mix of carriers from which to select. We also understand that not all shipment's demand premium service levels. Niche carriers allow our members to reduce costs on less critical shipments.

do i have to use your carriers?

NO! Unless you have committed to a specific NCBFAASA contract, being a member does not obligate you to ship with carriers with whom the association has a negotiated rate agreement. You are free to use other services for your shipping needs or negotiate directly with the carriers. NCBFAASA provides you greater access to all major carriers than is available through your own individual carrier contracts.
