How membership works
You can fill out a membership application online here [LINK TBC], or if you have completed a paper form please scan it or take a photo and send it to admin@transporting.nz.
Your application will be processed within 48 hours and if you are eligible for membership, you will be issued an invoice.
Upon receipt of payment, you’ll be assigned a Membership Manager and granted access to more than 30 commercial benefits.
You’ll also receive an invitation to access the Transporting New Zealand membership app where you can find our freight-friendly route planner and accommodation map, plus exclusive member resources such as the Grant Thornton Cost Index.
You’ll be invited to free events near you, webinars and get free or heavily discounted access to North Island, South Island, and national conferences.
Membership is billed annually in advance and remains valid for a 12-month period. Membership renews annually subject to payment of the renewal invoice.
Are you the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)?
No, we are not NZTA and we’re not a government department. See here for what we’re about.
Can you help me apply for a transport service licence (TSL)?
We don’t issue TSLs – that’s NZTA’s job, but our membership team can assist you with any questions about the process.
How much does membership cost?
Membership fees are structured to reflect different business types, including transport operators and businesses that service the road freight industry.
Fees are based on business size and membership category, ensuring they are fair, appropriate, and aligned to the value and support provided through advocacy, commercial benefits, and practical industry support.
As a not for profit, member organisation, membership fees are reinvested into advocacy, services, and activities that benefit members and the wider road freight industry.
Membership operates on an annual basis from 1 July to 30 June. Businesses joining part-way through the year will have their fee adjusted for the remainder of the membership period.
Submitting an application does not commit you to membership. Fees are discussed and confirmed before anything is finalised.
Who is membership for?
Commercial transport businesses in New Zealand of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re an owner-operator with a single truck, a growing company with a small fleet and team, or a large operation with dozens of vehicles and staff, membership can be tailored to suit your business.
Our support, resources, and benefits scale with you so you get practical value whether you’re running one truck or managing a nationwide fleet.
