NWRA Urges Congress To Suspend Truck Tax
The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) and several of its member companies joined with dozens of oth- er national, state and local organizations and companies on a letter to congressional leaders urging the suspension of the 12 percent Federal Excise Tax (FET) on the purchase of new heavy-duty trucks and trailers through the end of 2021.The FET increases the cost of new trucks and trailers by $22,000 on average. Truck sales in the United States are predicted to decline by 50 percent in 2020 due to the current global health cri- sis. In March, truck orders dropped 52 percent compared to last year. A suspension of the FET would increase sales of trucks and, in turn, save or bring back the livelihoods of almost 8 million Americans employed in jobs related to trucking, according to the NWRA.
