Key topics included:

Towing issues in Wyoming

A proposed 10-cent fuel tax increase (committee vote set for October 2025)

The tolling of I-80 (recently defeated)

Finally, Kevin emphasizes why truckers should get involved in trucking associations: “Decisions that impact your daily life are being made — do you want to help steer the discussion?”
