Bipartisan bill introduced to Congress guarantees restroom access while waiting on pickup or delivery


Truck drivers often have a difficult time finding restrooms because they are frequently on the road and may not know the area they are in well. Additionally, truck stops and rest areas can be crowded, making it hard to find an available restroom. In some cases, truck drivers may have to drive long distances to find a suitable place to stop and use the restroom. This can be inconvenient and time-consuming, and can also make it difficult for truckers to properly plan their routes.

Enter, the legislative branch. In a bipartisan venture led by Rep. Troy Nehls, (R-TX) and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, (D-PA), a bill was introduced to Congress that aims to ensure that truck drivers have restroom access when they are queuing at a shipper or receiver. The bill has some large supporters in the industry, including the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the Women in Trucking Association.
