July 2008

OOIDA Call to Action - Washington
In April, OOIDA members Sherrie and Bob Bond of Chehalis, WA, met with U.S. Rep. Brian Baird, D-WA, about how high fuel costs are affecting truckers' livelihoods. In response to that meeting, Baird's office announced this week that he will be hosting a community forum to discuss the impact of high fuel costs on truckers in Washington state.
