TRA Membership Benefits

Equipment Marking - All members of TRA are assigned a company identification number (CIN) when they join TRA. This number is registered with the Texas DPS, and numerous other law enforcement agencies have access to the TRA CIN numbers to verify ownership of equipment.

Experian Credit Reports - Members are eligible to receive commercial or consumer credit reports on customers before extending credit or leasing equipment.

Legislative Activities - In order to protect the rental industry, TRA works with the Texas Legislature to bring about change or add to Texas law such language which will aid the entire industry's operation.

Membership Directory - The directory is a listing of all TRA members. It lists members in alphabetical order by company name and gives a separate listing of companies by city. This serves as a valuable networking and informational tool.

National & Regional Conventions & Tradeshows - Events that showcase the latest rental equipment, including construction, homeowner, party goods, and services available to the industry. Each event provides educational and social opportunities for attendees.

Security Alerts - A method of informing TRA members of potential undesirable customers and an aid in recovering stolen equipment.
