TIA and OOIDA join to fight fraud.

As the press has been reporting, TIA and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) have joined together to promote legislation to fight fraud in trucking.  Leaders of TIA and OOIDA, at the urging of Representative Peter DeFazio (D-4th/OR), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, sat down together following our battle over the TRUCC Act fuel surcharge and margin disclosure legislation.  What we found was that there was a common interest between the organizations to find solutions to shared problems of marketplace fraud.
