As Congress Kicks off, the Fight for Pro-Trucking Policies is on

Jan 10, 2025 at 02:20 PM CST

The 119th Congress has officially kicked off, creating a clean legislative slate for new and returning Senators and Representatives.

Over the next two years, lawmakers are expected to tackle key challenges ranging from taxes and tariffs to energy, environment, labor, and infrastructure.  The Senate will also need to move swiftly to fulfill its constitutional advise and consent role and approve President Trump’s nominees to lead key government agencies.

On behalf of the 8.5 million hardworking men and women employed in trucking in every congressional district, the American Trucking Associations is urging elected leaders to leverage each of these opportunities to support the trucking industry and, by extension, strengthen the U.S. economy.
