Heads up, Arkansas truckers! A bill in the state Senate needs your attention.

HB1030, a bill to help truckers in the state who were previously base-plated elsewhere, passed the House Jan. 29 by a vote of 84-13 and is headed to the Senate for consideration.
The bill would cap the sales tax at $1,000 for a truck and $500 for a trailer. It also contains a clause that would grant a tax "amnesty" to homebound truckers who would otherwise have to pay big bucks in back taxes, penalties and interest for base-plating out of state.
It is vital that you contact your state senator and let them know how important this bill is to you as an Arkansas trucker. For contact information, visit www.state.ar.us/senate/senators.php, or call OOIDA's membership department at 1-800-444-5791 and they'll look it up.
