On January 30, Oregon Trucking Association (OTA) filed a lawsuit in Douglas County Circuit Court, contesting years of the state overcharging commercial motor carriers under the weight-mile and fuel taxes. Challenging the Democratic majority leadership is a necessary step for OTA and Oregon’s commercial trucking industry.
For at least the past six years, heavy trucks have paid an increasing and disproportionate share of Oregon’s road taxes, breaching the mandate from the Oregon Constitution.
AOL staff joined OTA in testimony given at the Oregon Joint Transportation Committee hearing, February 20, supporting legislative efforts to rebalance the weight-mile tax burden disparity between heavy and light vehicles.
AOL is an associate member of OTA; and we support OTA’s fight to rebalance truck taxation. We’ll keep you updated.
Rob Freres, president of Freres Engineered Wood, has thrown in his support for the OTA lawsuit against the state for overcharging truckers with its weight-mile tax. Read from yet another source.
