Key Issues

Members of the National Shippers Strategic Transportation Council (NASSTRAC) include shippers of all types and sizes, most of which employ workers in states throughout the country. Our advocacy concerns are representative of those of hundreds of thousands of companies that depend on the trucking industry for their economic success. As an industry association representing shippers, NASSTRAC opposes unwise or excessively burdensome regulations that fail to promote jobs and economic growth.

Current issues include:

• Hours of Service
• Surface Transportation Reauthorization (Highway Bill)
• Use of Tolls To Pay for Infrastructure
• FMCSA Overreach into Shipper Operations
• Truck Size & Weight Limits
• Unionization of Ports
• Transportation Modes, The Environment, and Shipper Choices
