MTA President
Rachel Singleton
Ken Stabler Trucking
President of the Montana Trucking Association
My name is Rachel Singleton, and I am honored to serve as President of the Montana Trucking Association. I am passionate about supporting Montana’s trucking industry and the hardworking professionals who keep our state and economy moving.
Born and raised in Miles City, trucking has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandfather and father were both truck drivers, and today, my husband and I are actively involved in our family’s trucking business.
Through generations of family experience, I have developed a deep appreciation for the people, businesses, and communities that make Montana’s trucking industry so vital to our state.Outside of work, we have three children. When we’re not working, you can usually find us chasing them from one sporting event to the next!
As President, I look forward to building strong relationships, advocating for our members, and working alongside industry partners to help advance a safe, successful, and sustainable future for trucking in Montana.
