The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association is encouraging its members to contact their lawmakers in opposition of a bill that would increase motor carriers’ minimum insurance coverage to nearly $5 million.
In July, Reps. Matthew Cartwright, D-Pa., and Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, D-Ill., introduced the INSURANCE Act, or HR3781, that would raise the federal minimum insurance requirement for motor carriers from $750,000 to $4.923 million. The bill also would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to adjust the rate every five years to take into account in inflation costs related to medical care.
OOIDA is opposed to the bill, saying that it “will do absolutely nothing to improve safety.”
On FightingforTruckers.com, the Association has a form letter truck drivers can use to send to their respective lawmakers.
