Illinois truckers mobilize in opposition to bill doubling base plate fee

Illinois truckers mobilize in opposition to bill doubling base plate fee

Quote:

“Hundreds and hundreds of calls” poured into the office of Illinois state lawmaker Daniel Beiser in recent days. According to a staffer in Beiser’s office, those calls were in opposition to legislation that would have truckers pay twice as much to base plate their trucks in the state.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association sent “Call to Action” e-mails to more than 1,700 truckers in Illinois encouraging them to contact committee members about the bill.
Their fervent response to Beiser and to other lawmakers helped persuade members of the Illinois House Transportation Regulation, Roads and Bridges Committee to reconsider the bill.
