Trucking Industry hails 'huge victory' after Labor Secretary says Most Truckers will be Exempt from Biden's Vaccine Mandate
A Truck Driver meets the Exceptions if they work Alone, or exclusively Outdoors, and are Not interacting with others at Pick-Up or Drop-Off Locations, according to the Department of Labor.
Truckers who work in Teams, such as Two People sitting in a Truck Cab , or who interact with People at their Destinations or Starting Points, would Not be Exempt.
American Trucking Associations President and CEO, Chris Spear, said the Provisions for Truckers were "an enormous victory for our association and industry" in a Statement on Friday.
Earlier this week, The Truckload Carriers Association released a Statement that said the "disastrous mandate ... will undoubtedly ensure the trucking industry loses a substantial number of drivers."
The Trucking Industry has already been hit Hard by the Crippling Labor Shortage that is plaguing the US Economy.
According to an Open Letter to Biden, signed by nearly 100 Associations, including the American Trucking Associations, the US currently has a Shortfall of 80,000 Truck Drivers,
The American Trucking Associations' Spear said in October, that there had been a 30% Increase in Trucker Shortages compared with before the Pandemic, a Record High for the Industry.
