A trucking executive warns the American supply chain would be 'dead in the water' if the industry ground to a halt as a result of Biden admin green energy policies.
JKC Trucking Vice-President Mike Kucharski believes the Biden administration is promoting green energy at the expense of the U.S.'s food supply.finalized plans for a program it argues will further reduce air pollution from heavy-duty engines and vehicles across the United States, but truckers argue the proposed standards will crush the supply chain and put the American food supply at risk.
JKC Trucking Inc. is Chicago's largest specialty contract carrier for climate controlled and dry freight loads specializing in less than truckload shipments for customers with one box, one pallet or half a truck to ship from the Midwest to California, Florida and major cities west of the Mississippi River.
"A new clean diesel long haul tractor typically costs in the range of $180,000 to $200,000," Kucharski said."A comparable battery electric tractor costs upwards of $480,000, that's about a $300,000 upcharge, [which] is cost prohibitive for the overwhelming majority of motor carriers."
