Arlington, Virginia – The ϾƷ issued the following statement commending the United States Senate for passing tax reform legislation:
“With today’s action in the Senate, major tax reform is now on the cusp of becoming law and igniting America’s economic engine,” said Chris Spear, president and CEO of the ϾƷ. “Reforming this onerous tax code will enable trucking companies large and small to invest more into their businesses, creating good middle-income jobs and stimulating growth up and down the supply chain.”
