Crooked Cartwright blasted for anti-trucking agenda

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association is slamming Matt Cartwright for his assault on the trucking industry.

OOIDA Vice President Lewie Pugh attacked Cartwright’s recent comments regarding an amendment that would prevent tolls on existing Pennsylvania roads and bridges that receive federal funding, which Cartwright opposed while throwing professional truck drivers under the bus.

Land Line reports that Cartwright has a history of working against the trucking industry in order to enrich himself while in Congress.

That should be particularly concerning at a time when trucking is identified as a top opportunity to help Americans move into the middle class.

NRCC Comment: “Crooked Matt Cartwright has a clear conflict of interest when it comes to professional truck drivers and he should be held accountable for consistently working against the industry to benefit himself.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
