Two new bills in Congress aim to help truck drivers with tax credits and lower costs for buying new trucks.
The first, called the Strengthening Supply Chains through Truck Driver Incentives Act, would give a refundable tax credit of up to $7,500 for current drivers and $10,000 for new drivers or those in registered apprenticeship programs. Drivers would need to meet minimum road hours to qualify.
