We are?calling?for an expedited resolution to the ongoing strike at the East and Gulf Coast Ports. The standoff is creating significant uncertainty for shippers and consumers alike, leading to supply chain disruptions?across the country. ? “If President Biden is not going to use the power granted to him to bring workers back to their jobs, then the administration should use other authorities to make sure goods can get to consumers during times of emergency,” says Sean Joyce, Executive Director of the Shippers Coalition. "Empty shelves are unacceptable and we demand that the parties come to a resolution, so we don’t cause long-lasting damage to our supply chain." #PortStrike #SupplyChain #EmergencyResponse #Trucks
关于我们
There are too many trucks on our local roads. They drive by our schools, homes, and playgrounds. The federal government passed gross vehicle weight limits on Interstate Highways in 1982 meaning trucks taking less direct local routes, contributing more to traffic and congestion, burning more fuel and generating more emissions. In 37 years, there have been major advancements in truck safety technology. But the benefits of these modern, better performing trucks cannot be fully realized. Trucks with a 6-axle, 91,000 lbs configuration are safer and more efficient. We are asking the federal government to safely modernize America’s truck weight limit on Interstate Highways. Increasing the weight limit will not mean longer, higher, or wider trucks— just more modern, safer and productive trucks.

We are thrilled to see the introduction of the Modernizing Operations for Vehicles in Emergencies (MOVE) Act by Congressman Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and Congressman Jim Costa (D-CA). This bill ensures that the United States supply chain runs effectively and efficiently, ultimately enabling shippers to provide essential goods to families throughout the country during times of emergencies.? ? Thank you to Congressman Johnson and Congressman Costa for their leadership on this issue!? ? #MOVEAct #ShippersCoalition
