"As I've traveled across Iowa, I've consistently heard about the negative impacts of the trucking workforce shortage, exacerbated by limitations with interstate licensing. The REAL Trucking Act is a commonsense solution to bolster the trucking workforce and strengthen our nation's supply chain, provide critical career opportunities for those not interested in pursuing a 4-year degree, and support family farmers, small businesses, and manufacturers by ensuring they can get their products to market." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson Background: The REAL Trucking Act helps to alleviate the current trucking workforce shortage by codifying the ability for 18-20-year-olds to obtain Commercial Drivers Licenses for interstate travel. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
