When The BGTA was established in 1949, the Association comprised only a handful of Transport Operators, Lorry Owners and Operating Agents. The BGTA was then registered under the Indian Companies Act, 1956. After the approval of the Articles and Memorandum of the Association, the BGTA then started to spread its wing and formation of a full-fledged Association had begun.

Since it inception in 1949, the BGTA has been making a lot of headway and gaining a lot of ground. The Association initially progressed slowly and barely perceptibly. Every year it added a few members and today the BGTA is a formidable Association to be reckoned with a member base of over 1,300 transporters. Today, it caters to all the requirements of its members and is dedicated to serving this nation better.

Judging by the yardstick of the strength of its members and its excellent performance over the years, as evidenced by the solidarity of its members for the espousal of any problem that affects the industry, the BGTA is undoubtedly the forerunner when it comes to safeguarding the interests of the Transport Industry Members and playing an important role in the advancement of road transport.

The day to day activities of the Association are carried out by the secretariat working under the direct supervision of the President, Hon. General Secretary and other members of the managing committee. Besides, there's an advisory committee consisting of past Presidents of the Association whose advice is invariably sought on crucial matters concerning the transport Industry.

Other Sub-committees are also constituted every year consisting of members with proven track records to deal with specific issues like Traffic and Civil Affairs, Legal and Insurance, Labour Problems, Membership Development and settlement of claims of private parties and transporters vis-a-vis transporters.

The Road Transport Industry has made a phenomenal and stupendous progress and is now one of the most important industries of India and following in its footsteps is the BGTA. The BGTA has come a long way, much has been attempted in the past and quite a bit has been achieved but much more remains to be done to safeguard the property entrusted to the to the transporters for transportation and to safeguard the interests of the members.

With much gratitude we remember the doyens and veterans of the transport industry who have ceaselessly tired and contributed their mite for its progress, they've extended their co-operation, advice and guidance to their members. Keeping their ideas and ideals we strive to emulate them to thrive and forge ahead to ensure that the wheels of the industry keep turning without any roadblocks so that each day we may be farther on the road that we're trying to cruising on.
