I pick up a topic from US trucking industry.
ATA Chairman stood on new congress and spoke out about serious issues involved modern trucking industy,especially EPA regulation and “safety “.
Firstly, He has argued that EPA regulation should be re-considered , because their study commissioned by ATA has reported that the cost of fully electrifying medium- and heavy-duty trucks would require an investment of nearly $1 trillion.
Those regulation involved ” EV ” in trucking indsutry impose significant costs and disruptions, Furthermore , will put on negatively impact the trucking industry’s ability to deliver the nation’s freigh
Meanwhile “EV” has been focus on , he put forward “safety” and “workforce development”.
He pointed out recent “marijuana” issue in road safety in general and DUI .
how legalization of marijuana at the state level and proposals to reclassify it at the federal level are creating dangerous misconceptions among the public. He emphasized the need to develop a test capable of detecting drivers operating under the influence. Dellinger also spoke with Congressman Rick Crawford (R-AR) about the importance of robust drug testing protocols and how fully implementing hair testing can be a net positive for safety.
Reflecting on his nearly four decades of experience in trucking, Dellinger observed how the industry provides good-paying jobs for 8.5 million men and women. To help more individuals enter the trucking workforce, he told Congressman Dusty Johnson (R-SD) that the Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot (SDAP) Program is an important pipeline for recruiting younger drivers.
In US also trucking industry is facing workforce shortage and they are trying to some program which introduce young drivers into this industry.
