American Trucking Associations (ATA) president and CEO Chris Spear announced that he wants to be a partner to the newly-elected Donald Trump administration.

In his announcement, Spear said Trump has potential to empower the trucking industry, creating an environment that will allow us to step up, to lead and not follow.

The trucking industry shouldn’t worry about President Trump’s tweets, but focus on his actual policies, Spear said.

Trump has proposed to put $1-trillion toward infrastructure, which has not happened since the Eisenhower administration.

The industry is embracing a new chapter, and as such, will capitalize on the technology that exists. The industry must accept, or be left behind
