Trucking coalition supports repeal of heavy truck tax
The Modernize the Truck Fleet, a coalition of trucking industry stakeholders – including the American Truck Dealers (ATD), American Trucking Associations and other groups – have announced their strong support for bipartisan legislation to repeal the 12% federal excise tax (FET) on the sale of heavy-duty trucks and trailers.
The bill, S. 2435, which was introduced by Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) – both members of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over transportation-related taxes – will help modernize America’s heavy-duty truck fleet and protect the 1.3 million jobs supported by the U.S. trucking industry, the group claimed. Repeal of the FET allows fleets to replace older heavy-duty trucks with newer, safer and greener trucks. The coalition is urging Congress to include the Young/Cardin legislation in the bipartisan infrastructure legislation.

The plaintiffs in the suit are nine former executive level employees of the college who complain that the college has breached its contract with the employees by changing their healthcare coverage options. The suit asks for a preliminary injunction preventing the school from implementing their proposed changes, which were originally outlined in an Aug. 30 letter from the school. The suit was filed Nov. 26.Â
