A bill meant to promote workforce opportunities for individuals seeking to enter the trucking workforce was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Responding to a shortage of drivers industrywide, Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) unveiled the Strengthening Supply Chains Through Truck Driver Incentives Act.
“During the pandemic, truckers didn’t have any remote options — yet they went to work every single day to keep our economy moving and our communities strong. Our country needs to step up and recognize their hard work — and we need to encourage more Americans to enter this industry,” Spanberger, a member of the Agriculture Committee, said March 30.
