Chris Balkema came to visit Nussbaum to learn about our history, mission, vision, and values, as well as to discuss operational challenges facing the trucking industry. We were super grateful to Chris and his team for visiting with us!
Some topics we discussed with the Senator included:
- Rising insurance costs, including the impact of “nuclear verdicts” against trucking companies.
- Illinois workers’ compensation laws and associated costs.
- The Personal Property Replacement Tax (PPRT).
- Planned Illinois toll increases.
- Cargo theft concerns.
- The federal excise tax (FET) on trucks.
- Regulatory and tax policies that make Illinois businesses less competitive than neighboring states.
Enjoy these pictures from our day with them!
Thanks for viewing!
