Fixing America’s Roads: How a Simple Policy Could Modernize Trucking and Infrastructure

June 30, 2025

On this episode of Nemo Nation, Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with David Heller, Senior Vice President of Safety and Government Affairs at the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), for a conversation at the crossroads of transportation, technology, and economic modernization.


David breaks down how an outdated, century-old tax is holding back both America’s infrastructure and the trucking industry’s ability to invest in safer, cleaner, and more efficient equipment. Learn about the Gallons-Based User Fee (GBUF) — a practical, ready-to-implement policy that could repeal the burdensome Federal Excise Tax (FET), close the Highway Trust Fund’s funding gap, and drive the future of trucking modernization.


If you care about the roads you drive on, the trucks that move America’s goods, or how policy shapes progress — you won’t want to miss this one.
