Trucking groups are optimistic about President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of former U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy as transportation secretary, viewing him as a supporter of the industry’s priorities. Duffy, who served in Congress from 2011 to 2019, focused on trucking and supply chain issues. Industry leaders believe his confirmation could lead to improvements in truck parking, safety, and reducing regulations. Duffy’s understanding of the trucking sector is anticipated to positively influence upcoming highway reauthorization legislation and the selection of future Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration leadership.
