Today we are going to talk about trucking companies OVERPAYING TAXES in OREGON, my home state, and the industry is finally standing up and suing the state! That’s tight, the Oregon Trucking Association and some of their members, are in a lawsuit against the state of Oregon because the trucking industry is overpaying taxes by over 30%, the state knows about the problem, there are no plans to fix this, AND taxes are INCREASING in 2024!
Talk about unfair!
I am excited to have Jana Jarvis, President of the Oregon Trucking Association now for 9 years, here to help us walk through what this lawsuit means and how it could change trucking taxes in the State.
