On Thursday, President Donald Trump met with a dozen truck drivers and the CEOs of several major trucking companies.
During the meeting, Trump discussed issues such as the economy, healthcare, and regulations. The primary reason for the meeting was to discuss the costs of healthcare for trucking companies and the President’s efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act.
“No one knows America like truckers know America,” Trump said about the meeting.
In attendance were 12 drivers from America’s Road Team; and CEOs and Presidents from several large carries, including: Old Dominion Freight Line, FedEx Freight, U.S. Xpress, UPS Freight, CRST International, and James Burg Trucking. Representatives from the American Trucking Association (ATA) were also in attendance.
Chris Spears of the ATA said the group had an “outstanding conversation” with the President.
After the meeting, Trump climbed into one of the rigs that was parked on the south lawn and did his best trucker impression. Watch the clip below.
