Proudly serving Wyoming in the US House. I will always fight to return power to the people and rein in waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.
60 Minutes exposes a massive trucking scandal that has surged since the pandemic where "chameleon carriers" aka foreign-owned trucking companies that rack up tons of flagrant safety violations only to people to change the name of the truck, DOT number and company name to flout federal regulations: These "Networks, often owned and operated from Eastern Europe, India, and Central Asia, set up chameleon carriers in the U.S. with different names and owners, who then register with the Department of Transportation, secure minimal insurance." "You’ve got 700,000 trucking companies. Let’s just say the general estimate is 10 to 20 percent are operating somewhere in that spectrum of chameleon carriers... Thousands of trucking companies racking up thousands of safety violations: poor maintenance, excessive driving hours, drug and alcohol use, all while evading federal enforcement."
DEF MANDATES ARE HURTING AMERICAN TRUCKERS AND INDUSTRY @RepHageman explains how diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) requirements put in place under Obama and expanded under Biden are hurting key industries like agriculture, trucking, and towing. Truckers report engine lifespans dropping from 1 million miles to 500,000 miles, along with costly breakdowns and DEF system failures that leave drivers stranded. We need practical, common-sense reforms that support American workers and keep our economy moving. @AmandaHead @jsolomonReports
