Trucking Associations from Across America Release Plan to Combat Fraud, Enhance Safety, and Pave the Way for a Trucking Resurgence<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Phoenix, AZ \u2014 The Arizona Trucking Association (ATA) has joined trucking associations from across the country in supporting a comprehensive policy blueprint aimed at eliminating bad actors who exploit regulatory gaps, undermine highway safety, and distort fair competition in the commercial trucking industry.<\/p>\n

The action plan, The Fight for Fairness and Safety: Paving the Way for a Trucking Resurgence<\/a><\/em>, outlines seven critical areas where fraudulent and illegal operators currently undercut responsible businesses, endanger the motoring public, and damage the reputation of America\u2019s professional truck drivers.<\/p>\n

Developed by the Trucking Association Executive Council (TAEC) through a national task force, the initiative comes at a time when trucking nationwide and in Arizona faces anemic freight demand, frivolous legal attacks, and unfair competition from unlawful operators who manipulate licensing systems, engage in freight fraud, tamper with safety records, and circumvent federal and state regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cArizona\u2019s trucking industry is built on the hard work of family-owned businesses, independent owner-operators, and professional drivers who play by the rules. But bad actors who exploit loopholes in our regulatory systems are putting everyone at risk \u2014 and that is unacceptable,\u201d said Tony Bradley, President & CEO, Arizona Trucking Association & Chairman, Trucking Association Executive Council. \u201cWe are focused on solutions and committed to seeing them implemented. By doing so, we will save lives, protect small businesses, and set the stage for a true trucking resurgence in Arizona.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
