Part 7/9:
Many within the trucking community and the broader working class view upcoming elections as critical for pushing back against policies that devalue their labor. President Biden’s administration has faced critiques for not acting on legislation that could benefit American truckers, like the guaranteeing overtime for truckers act, which saw little movement before the Democrats lost congressional control.
As political tides shift and speculation grows surrounding former President Donald Trump's potential re-election, some truckers express cautious optimism. The hope is that a renewed focus on American workers might lead to a reconsideration of the visa policies that currently allow an influx of foreign labor.
