Earlier today, President Trump announced the launch of the Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups, which is a collection of businesses and industry associations who will work with the White House to help the nation emerge from the COVID-19 crisis. Unfortunately, the White House failed to include a representative of owner-operators and small-business truckers.
Instead, corporate executives from the nation's largest trucking companies have been selected to represent our entire industry. The White House still doesn't understand that 96% of registered motor carriers are small businesses, but instead continues to believe the mega fleets are the only voices in trucking that matter.
We're extremely disappointed the White House has ignored small trucking businesses in favor of publicly-traded mega carriers, who certainly won't use their positions to address your needs. Hell, most don't even know what the needs of owner-operators or professional drivers are under normal circumstances, let alone during a national crisis.
OOIDA has worked closely with the Trump Administration to develop and implement emergency policies that help all truck drivers. We will continue to do that regardless of whether we're involved in these working groups. Your health, safety, and economic well-being are always going to be our priority.
Please keep sending us your feedback to [email protected] and check Land Line Media for updates. Thank you!
