President-elect Barack Obama won’t be taking office without a firm understanding of the issues facing truckers on the road thanks to the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.

OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer accepted an invitation from Obama’s transportation transition team to meet with the group on Monday, Nov. 24.

The team heard from a variety of groups representing different aspects of the trucking industry. Groups that met with the team include the American Trucking Association, the Truckload Carriers Association, Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, National Private Truck Council and the truck manufacturers.

Spencer said he was in the fortunate position to present the Association’s position on many of the issues raised by other groups.

“It worked to our advantage that the other groups presented first,” Spencer said. “It gave us the opportunity to express our points and to address issues other organizations didn’t get quite right.”
