NATM

When you buy a Big Tex Trailer, you'll also get the confidence that comes with knowing your trailer is NATM Certified.

The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) unifies the trailer manufacturing industry by improving trailer safety and performance, addressing regulatory issues, providing educational tools, hosting industry events and offering membership benefits. NATM was founded in 1987 to serve livestock trailers, but began representing all light- and medium-duty trailer manufactures in 1992. In the 25+ years since, NATM has grown to represent more than 410 trailer manufacturers and 350 suppliers.

NATM Logo

NATM created its Compliance Verification Program to promote safety and regulation within the trailer manufacturing industry. As of Jan.1, 2012, the Compliance Verification Program is a requirement for membership in NATM. Big Tex has successfully completed the consultation process every year, meaning our trailers comply with the guidelines recommended for manufacturing light- and medium-duty trailers. Look for the exclusive compliance decal on every Big Tex trailer, which serves as a reminder of our promise to deliver the safest and longest lasting trailers on the road.

As a member of NATM, Big Tex Trailers also participates in the organization's official publication "Tracks," which features technical articles, association news and updated information on all new Big Tex products. You can pick up the most recent issue at your local Big Tex dealer.
