Bulk of truckers back Trump and are wary of a Harris presidency, says big-rig big shotMany big-rig truckers are backing former President Trump this cycle, amid worries surrounding how a Harris administration would affect the crucial auto industry, a trucking company executive admitted.
The presidential election is just five days away, and Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have presented different futures for the auto industry while on the campaign trail.
Mike Kucharski, co-owner and vice president of JKC Trucking, Chicago's largest specialty contract carrier, said that there are five reasons truckers are more in favor of a Trump presidency this cycle: costs, increased regulatory burdens, infrastructure, driving range of the trucks and less cargo capacity due to the battery.
"I personally don't vote along party lines, but I support candidates with policies. And I would say policies are the gateway to truckers' vote — policies that help small business thrive," Kucharski said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. "Right now, a lot of small business owners in the trucking industry are seriously concerned about Kamala Harris' impact on our industry if she takes office."
The number one issue, according to Kucharski, is costs.
"Truckers are already struggling to stay afloat due to issues like skyrocketing diesel costs. It's pouring too much for diesel. Truckers are driving less miles, paying more for fuel," he said. "Another blow to truckers is this increased regulatory burdens. Truckers are overregulated."..................
