CALL-TO-ACTION – National

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We had a resounding victory in the House last night!  Despite heavy threats from the White House and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, HR6630 passed with 395 lawmakers voting for it and only 18 voting against. 

HR6630 will require the immediate termination of the DOT’s crossborder trucking pilot program with Mexico and revoke the DOT’s ability to grant Mexico-domiciled carriers authority to operate beyond commercial zones without Congressional approval.

During the debate regarding HR6630 on the House floor last night prior to the vote, half of the lawmakers who spoke mentioned that they have been hearing from truckers back home.  That’s yet another sign that your efforts, your phone calls really did make a big difference

You can find how your lawmaker voted on HR6630 here.  A ‘yea’ vote is essentially a vote against the crossborder pilot program with Mexico and a ‘nay’ vote equates to support for that pilot program to continue.

If your lawmaker voted they way you wanted them to, please contact their office to say “Thank you”.

To contact your lawmaker in the House of Representatives, call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, provide the operator with your home zip code and they will connect you with his or her office.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the Association at 1-800-444-5791.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE CAPITOL HILL TAKE NOTICE.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR TRUCKERS THROUGHOUT AMERICA
