Fighting Government Overreach in Trucking | Kent Grisham on Nemo Nation

August 11, 2025

On this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with Kent Grisham, President & CEO of the Nebraska Trucking Association, to talk about standing up for trucking in the face of government overreach.


Kent shares the inside story of Nebraska’s involvement in suing the California Air Resources Board (CARB) — becoming the only state trucking association besides the CTA to do so — and how that fight led to a settlement including a repeal of the Advanced Clean Fleets rules.


We also dive into NTA’s push for tort reform, Kent’s decades of leadership experience, his role as a pastor and chaplain, and why advocacy matters for the trucking industry nationwide.
