TFB supports any relief that can be provided from Congress on the Electronic Logging Device mandate that was implemented in December 2017. TFB continues supporting provisions and legislation to exempt all agricultural industries. The bills TFB supports and advocated for are H.R. 1697, H.R. 1698 and H.R. 1673. TFB opposed legislation that would raise minimum insurance levels for CMVs from $750,000 to $4.9 million. H.R. 3781, known as the INSURANCE Act, would be devastating for small-business truckers who would see their premiums triple within a year.
