Traci Nelson: Trucking industry needs the DRIVE Safe Act
The trucking industry offers significant career opportunities in West Virginia and across the nation. As most can understand, just about everything you possess or purchase was transported by truck. And goods shipped by truck are increasing as personal shopping trends have moved to a view-and-click online experience requiring more and more trucks to deliver the goods and products you use every day.
