Legislative Issues
TFCA Promotes Letter to US DOT to Increase HAZMAT Drivers
In May 2022, members of TFCA went to DC as a part of EMA's annual Day on the Hill, where we met with lawmakers to discuss issues concerning our industry. One of the issues discussed is a letter written by Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH), trying to address the CDL driver shortage by making it easier for truck drivers to get the proper credentialing they need in a timely manner. An updated, secure, process will allow CDL drivers who must renew or enroll in more than one program - TWIC, Hazardous HAZMAT and TSA PreCheck - to avoid duplicative and costly background checks.
Laura Hunt will be glad to assist any TFCA member who would like to contact their member of Congress on this issue.
