Washington — Today, the American Trucking Associations commended the U.S. House of Representatives for voting to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and sending it to the president’s desk. The legislation will support the trucking industry by providing long-term tax certainty and more flexible resources for workforce development, ensuring that our nation's supply chains can keep America's economy moving.
“The American Trucking Associations thanks Republicans in Congress and President Trump for moving this comprehensive tax reform package across the finish line. Today’s vote provides much-needed certainty for the trucking industry—the backbone of our economy—to grow and thrive,” said ATA President & CEO Chris Spear. “By passing this bill, Congress averted the largest tax increase in our nation’s history. Neither the economy nor our supply chain would have survived such a travesty. This is our money, not the government’s, and truckers know better than anyone how to reinvest it to promote prosperity. Motor carriers, the overwhelming majority of which are small businesses that operate ten trucks or fewer, will now have the ability to plan for the future, continue to provide good-paying jobs, and upgrade equipment. We commend congressional leaders for recognizing this fact and crafting this tax relief package that supports the 8.5 million Americans who work throughout trucking. We look forward to celebrating President Trump fulfilling another promise to our industry when he signs it into law.”
ATA’s entire federation of state associations sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to implement these pro-growth tax policies quickly. Additionally, last week, America’s Road Team Captain Dee Sova attended an event at the White House to convey ATA’s endorsement of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
