Congressional representatives recently penned a letter to Representatives David Price (D-NC) and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), both of whom serve on the Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies. This letter was signed by 33 U.S. Congressmen and women who called on them to end the ambiguity in U.S. trucking regulations resulting from the recent mandate on Electronic Logging Devices. This letter specifically lists turfgrass and asks for its continued recognition as an agricultural commodity by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Now, a similar letter is being written to Representative Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jack Reed (D-RI) in the U.S. Senate. This letter is currently supported by Rep. David Perdue (R-GA) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and now is your chance to provide your support. Please use the link below to notify your Senators to support this common sense legislation and end the current ambiguity around agricultural commodities with regard to federal trucking laws.
