ALL TN TRUCKERS

[ironmanwife]

We received an email from ooida..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
As you know, a Congressman and two Senators were elected to represent you, your family, your hometown and your state in Washington, DC.
If you are receiving this email, it means that at least 2 of those 3 lawmakers on Capitol Hill have not yet committed to supporting the TRUCC Act by signing on as cosponsors of the House or Senate versions of the bill. For some of you, all 3 of your elected representatives have yet to get on board.
H.R.5977 (House) and S.2910 (Senate) will require that 100 percent of fuel surcharges levied on a shipper be passed through to whoever actually pays for the fuel to haul that shipper's goods, obviously in most cases that's a trucker.
Both bills share the same title - "Trust in Reliable Understanding of Consumer Costs Act" or "TRUCC Act" and both will ensure that middlemen will no longer be able to skim or pocket fuel surcharges that should be going to truckers. Click here to view the bills.
OOIDA has been working hard to move the TRUCC Act forward in the legislative process, but for the Congressional leadership to take the bill seriously, they also need to see that it has the support of several Congressmen and Senators.
Please call the offices of both of your Senators and your Congressman to ask them to commit their support for the TRUCC Act by signing on as 'cosponsors' of the bill.
To contact your 2 Senators and your Representative in the House, call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, provide the operator with your home zip code. The operator will connect you with the offices of your elected representatives.
