Trucking Industry Issues
Primary Safety Belt Law. WVTA supports adoption of a primary safety belt law to increase belt use, reduce fatalities and save money.
APUs from Excise Tax. Among many other things, H.R. 1424, the federal bail-out bill passed early this month by Congress on its second try, and signed by President Bush, includes in Section 206 of its Division B an exemption from the 12% federal excise tax on trucks and trailers with idling-reduction devices commonly known in the industry as auxiliary power units. Several states have passed similar legislation. WVTA should introduce it in WV.
Highway Funding. While it is critical to appropriately fund our highway system, WVTA believes we need to analyze where the dollars are going and determine how they can be spent more efficiently.
Governmental/Regulatory Cooperation. WVTA members provide both employment and valuable services to West Virginia. WVTA members interact with numerous governmental and regulatory agencies on a daily basis. We desire fair and consistent treatment and an environment that is business friendly.
