| In 2000 the MTRAE was formed in America during the MTRA annual conference, at the request of the Europeans present, Tim Barks and Nigel Morris. |
 |
As the first two truck owners ever to make the journey to join the MTRA and to take the tech inspectors exam, the MTRA members made us very welcome. After some discussion they agreed to, as they put it "Go Global!" and form the MTRAE {Europe}. After a vote Nigel Morris was elected President, and Tim as Rules Director. |
| During 2001 the MTRAE contacted all known truck owners outside the continental USA, as well as insurance companies, and sanctioning bodies. |
| The MTRAE continues to grow, now being recognised as the most complete and comprehensive single source of information relating to the safe construction and use of monster trucks |
