Truck drivers could potentially get up to $10,000 in tax breaks under new bill


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.

“Passing this bill is a no-brainer: better conditions for the workers that drive us forward, more high-paying union jobs, and lower costs for families across the country,” said U.S. Rep. Pat Ryan, D-N.Y., who introduced the bill with Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa.
