Iowa Trucking Delivered a Successful Day at the Iowa State Capitol

Iowa’s trucking industry showed up as a strong, unified voice when over 80 IMTA members participated in Trucking Day at the Capitol. In addition to the voices, a variety of trucks were staged around the Capitol Complex to provide a powerful display as legislators & staffers arrived for the day, and also for the motoring public driving through the area.

Driver Ambassadors were on-hand to serve breakfast, as well as to provide a personalized Valentine’s Day treat bag to all 150 legislators. Driver Ambassadors then accompanied legislators & staff members on truck rides throughout downtown and driving simulator opportunities.

Outside of the House & Senate chambers inside the Capitol, IMTA members focused on calling out legislators to have a conversation about the overall impact trucking has on the state of Iowa, including their specific district. Numerous conversations were had that shined the spotlight on trucking in a very positive manner; and every legislator could walk away from their conversations knowing not only how significant trucking is in Iowa, but that the pride for the industry is just as impactful.
