Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy attended the event, praising truckers as the backbone of the country and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/video-toyota-chairman-goes-hard-core-maga-with-trump-vance-photos-on-his-shirt-and-a-classic-red-maga-cap\/\" title=\"Video: Toyota Chairman Goes Hard Core MAGA With Trump-Vance Photos on His Shirt and a Classic Red MAGA Cap\">signaling strong support<\/a> for the sector, with the show\u2019s organizers calling his participation a major highlight. A Department of Transportation release highlighted federal actions aimed at boosting trucking efficiency, including $275 million for parking projects, the removal of mandates such as speed limiters, and the modernization of a consumer complaint database, along with efforts to cut red tape and crack down on bad actors. The article also discusses Duffy\u2019s stance on enforcing English proficiency for drivers, referencing proposed measures like \u201cDalilah\u2019s Law\u201d to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >prevent crashes involving unqualified foreign drivers<\/a>, and mentioning a case connected to a crash involving a girl named Dalilah Coleman. It weaves in social-media posts from Duffy and related political commentary, underscoring the administration\u2019s emphasis on strengthening road safety and trucking infrastructure.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A major expo for the trucking industry expressed gratitude for Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy&rsquo;s participation, noting the Trump administration&rsquo;s work to recognize the sector.<\/p>\n<p>The Mid-America Trucking Show last month welcomed over 53,000 guests and more than 800 exhibitors, while Duffy delivered a speech to attendees.<\/p>\n<p>The Cabinet official posted a segment of his comments on social media, calling truckers &ldquo;the BACKBONE of our great country.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I am so impressed by every one of them at the Mid-America Trucking Show!&rdquo;
