OOIDA Call to Action – West Virginia Members
Attention, West Virginia truckers! A campaign spearheaded by the citizens of Berkeley Springs and Morgan County would ban through trucks from operating on the 19-mile stretch of U.S. 522 that runs from Hancock, MD, to the Virginia line. Such a ban would force an estimated 1,400 trucks per day to travel the additional 25 miles via already crowded I-70 and I-81.
