OOIDA Call to Action Alert - Wisconsin members
The Legislature Budget Committee has sent to the Assembly a budget proposal that includes a franchise fee on oil companies doing business in Wisconsin.  The franchise fee would be a 2.5% tax on the gross receipts on oil companies.  At $2.50 per gallon, this "hidden tax" would add over 6 cents to the price of a gallon of diesel.  If fuel prices increase dramatically, like last year, the tax per gallon will be double-digit!

OOIDA Call to Action - Oregon members
Oregon truckers: The Oregon Legislature is just one step away from approving a California-style retrofit law that would require fairings, single-wide tires, and other unspecified diesel efficient equipment on medium and heavy duty trucks. Not only would it affect trucks operating in the state, but it very well could end up affecting trucks running through the state.
