OOIDA Knock Out Bad Regs campaign

OOIDA Knock Out Bad Regs campaign

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association launched an energetic campaign at the Mid-America Trucking Show to encourage its members to push back against excessive trucking regulations.

The โ€œKnock Out Bad Regsโ€ effort will give OOIDA members the tools to hold the Administration and Congress to their pledge to reduce regulations.

โ€œWe are concerned that the promise to reduce regulations will instead turn into an effort by policy makers in Washington D.C. to add even more burdensome regulations,โ€ said Todd Spencer, executive vice president.

โ€œCongress should be working to eliminate costly regulations like ELDโ€™s and speed limiters rather than adding more rules and red tape.โ€

โ€œKnock Out Bad Regsโ€ intends to educate members on how to identify their lawmakers in Washington D.C. and encourage them to reach out effectively.

โ€œOur members have always been highly engaged in the process,โ€ said Todd Spencer. โ€œBut there is an urgent need to increase the volume going forward.โ€
