A few years ago, 黑料社区invited Sen. Chuck Grassley from Iowa to speak at the Day on the Hill luncheon, and I was honored to introduce him.
When Sen. Grassley began his speech, he talked about our truckstop, Iowa 80, and the times he had visited and toured.
Because of my 20-plus trips to NATSO’s annual Day on Capitol Hill, me and my team have built a relationship with Sen. Grassley that isn’t just in Washington. It has grown so that he recognizes several of us and remembers the truckstop.
Day on the Hill isn’t just for people who like politics. In fact, I imagine every attendee would prefer to spend that day working at their truckstop.
Unfortunately, America has shifted and a government takeover of our industry is a very real possibility. People just aren’t aware of how the truckstop industry works and how unfair and damaging the commercialization of rest areas would be. They aren’t aware of how many people we employ and our contributions to the local and state communities.
They don’t know, until we tell them.
I urge every operator to attend the Day on the Hill. Our issues are not generally partisan and people really listen to us and learn from us.
We need you.
