Is an OOIDA membership worth it if...

Yeah I can see it being worth it for that.

 

OOIDA is always up to date with all the changes coming in this industry.
Yes, they operate to make money. We want to make money too.
But what you pay the first year is really nothing in comparison to what you can save trying to figure out things.
I worked with a few people (NOT OOIDA) asking if I got everything, their responses were yes. But each time I found something missing anyway. OOIDA has a lot of information compiled to your specific questions because they heard these numerous times. They are THROUGH. You won't miss anything.
They might not fight for you for your specific situation if you find yourself in trouble, but they might tell you what to do next. But I'm with them NOT to find myself in trouble, trying to stay on top of things.

 

When I first got my authority I was with them because they have really valuable information and you can call them up anytime and ask if you don't want to Google everything. Any question I have about trucking and business related they have answered. In the beginning I started with their drug consortium and the occupational accidental insurance. I stopped paying for ooida a few years ago, I dropped the drug consortium with them because I found a much better deal and one that is not so strict. Though I still have the occupational accidental insurance. They seem to have the best deal for that.
