At the urging of OOIDA, representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be on hand at the Great American Trucking Show next week in Dallas to hear directly from truckers about the latest federal proposal to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency for heavy trucks.
Officials from EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will be available on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 27, from 2 to 4:30 p.m., at the OOIDA sponsored event to receive input from owner-operators and small-business truckers. The event is open to all.
The Great American Trucking Show takes place Aug. 27-29 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center at 650 S. Griffin St., Dallas, TX 75202. The meeting will take place in room C-151 of the convention center.
“This is an opportunity for truckers to provide input on this important rulemaking, as it will determine new truck design, engineering, cost and reliability for years to come,” said OOIDA Director of Regulatory Affairs Scott Grenerth. “These proposed regulations would affect all new trucks starting in 2021 – company-owned equipment and trucks purchased by owner-operators alike.” - See more at: http://www.landlinemag.com/Story.aspx?StoryID=29645#.VdkamPZViko
