For three decades we have met with the challenge of getting the word out quickly and effectively on important legislative issues affecting professional drivers. With the aid of today’s technology we now have the capability to relay within moments information about significant issues to truckers.

Now, it’s up to you to step into action and make an impact with lawmakers on issues they are discussing that affect you.

OOIDA’s Call to Action team keeps its finger on the pulse of hot-button issues being discussed in Congress and in state legislatures. If you are not already among the growing number of truckers plugged in to daily legislative happenings it is time you got connected.

It’s as simple as calling OOIDA’s offices and asking to be added to the Call to Action contact list. Team members with e-mail access will receive the most current updates on critical legislative issues.

Members without e-mail: Don’t worry. You won’t be left out. Time permitting, a mailing will be sent out informing you about important issues. After receiving your alert it is essential you call your elected official(s) – for whom contact information will be provided – visit their office(s) for a face-to-face conversation or, when possible, attend a meeting where lawmakers are present for discussion. Your only requirement is a willingness to help get things done. You will only be contacted when an extremely important issue arises.

It’s up to you to join the team and help make a difference. Contact OOIDA’s Angel Burnell at 1-800-444-5791, Ext. 600, or send e-mail to angel_burnell@ooida.com to sign up. It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s free.
