OOIDA Criticizes EPA Proposal
🚛 Truckers' Concerns Disregarded: OOIDA Criticizes EPA Proposal.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) has voiced its opposition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Phase 3 proposal, stating that it disregards the concerns of truck drivers. OOIDA highlighted issues related to costs, timeline, safety, and operational challenges in its official comments filed with the EPA. The association urged the EPA to consider a more achievable implementation timeline that provides affordable and reliable heavy-duty vehicles, protects consumer choice, and addresses the concerns of small trucking businesses and owner-operators.
