ATA seeks FMCSA approval to Preempt state laws which presently protect trucker wages.

Tonight we’ll discuss what’s behind the ATA “Meal & Rest Break” Petition and discuss how it’s all connected to the recently failed attempt to include the Denham Amendment in the FAA bill.


It’s not just about Meal & REST Breaks….  It’s about Preempting Trucker Wages.
