House bill to repeal 12% FET on trucks reintroduced An article from CCJ — Commercial Carrier Journal highlights that this week, the Modern, Clean, and Safe Trucks Act was reintroduced in the House of Representatives. The bill is led by Representatives Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), Chris Pappas (D-NH), Darin LaHood (R-IL), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), and Max Miller (R-OH). TCA has long advocated for repealing the Federal Excise Tax (FET), as it enables our members to invest in newer, safer, and more environmentally friendly equipment. Eliminating the FET will help modernize fleets, enhance safety on our nation’s highways, and reduce emissions. Read the full CCJ article here: https://lnkd.in/e9RDkSyE
