its all about trucking pic for blog on brokersHello, Fellow Drivers,  It’s always good to keep up with what the Feds are doing.  In this bit of trucking industry news, you will read about the highway bill that is before Congress.  If the bill passes, the trucking business will have to face the changes.  Enjoy the read and remember to be safe out there.  I found this in this issues of OOIDA’s Land Line Mag.

Legislative issues on the federal level can heat up and flame out in the blink of an eye. However, there are several bills – some with several different versions in both chambers, others as stand-alone bills – of interest to truckers.

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association keeps close tabs on these issues on a daily basis. The following is a snapshot of some of the biggest pieces of legislation that could affect your lives on the road.

HIGHWAY BILL


Description

The reauthorization of the highway bill is an event that comes around every five or six years. Among other things, the bill establishes the nation’s surface transportation policies – including highway infrastructure investment priorities and how to pay for them. The bill also provides changes to existing highway safety and trucking safety regulations.
