Join The Fight
Think about how much more you could support your family and grow your business without the FET holding you back.
Here’s The Current Deal: A 12% Tax & High Fuel Costs
- Owner Operators are being driven out of business due to high taxes and fuel costs.
- Truck Dealers are missing out on more sales due to the imposing 12% FET.
- Trucking Companies are being nickel and dimed millions of dollars to transport goods across the nation.
- Corporate Fleets are paying millions of dollars in FET and fuel costs that they should reinvest in their company and employees.
Here’s A Better Deal: You Should Be Investing Those Expenses Instead
Owner Operators: Invest Your Time and Money back into your Family
Truckers are being hit HARD by the 12% FET!
It costs an additional $24,000 to $36,000 to purchase a new truck.
Here’s where trucker’s hard-earned money should be invested:
- House downpayment
- Kid’s college fund
- Enjoy a well-deserved vacation
- Be there for family emergencies
It’s time to take your power back!
Truck Dealers: Boost Sales and Expand Operations
- The FET eats away at your profits because truckers don’t have the means to upgrade their equipment.
- Your increased inventory due to fewer sales is depreciating by the minute, along with the additional costs to manage inventory.
- Time is money – unburden yourself of unnecessary administrative costs.
- Loyalty. Hardworking truckers respect and support those who have their backs.
Trucking Companies and Corporate Fleets: Save Millions over the Long Haul
- An average company truck lasts an average of 5 years before upgrading to a new one. If you upgrade 800 trucks at $250,000 each, that’s $24,000,000 in FET that you’re paying and should be saving.
- The average class 8 truck spends $75,000 on fuel every year. Reducing the price by just $0.25 will save you an average of $4,600 annually.
- If you have 100 trucks, that’s $460,000 you could save every year.
- If you have 1,000 trucks, that’s $4,600,000 in yearly savings.
- Why leave thousands and even millions of dollars on the table? It’s time to take what’s yours and join Truckers Let’s Take A Stand!
