Strengthening the Backbone of America: A Vision for the Trucking Industry in 2025 from Vlad Skots

23 January 2025

This weekend, Vlad Skots, CEO of USKO, Inc., attended President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. Below are some of his conclusions and insights following meetings with business leaders and CEOs from across industries:

“I feel a renewed sense of optimism for the future of the trucking industry and businesses like USKO, Inc. President Trump has long supported the vital role trucking plays in the economy, and his second term presents exciting opportunities for growth and innovation.

At USKO, we’re looking forward to key developments that will shape the industry:
  • Smarter Emission Standards: Revisiting emission regulations to make them both environmentally and operationally sustainable will help trucking companies remain efficient while contributing to a cleaner future.
  • Fuel Stability: Energy independence remains a priority, which promises more stable fuel prices—a crucial factor for the trucking industry’s operations.
  • Tax Incentives: Proposed tax reforms, including eliminating excise taxes on heavy-duty trucks, could encourage businesses to invest in newer, safer, and more efficient fleets.
  • Infrastructure Investments: Planned upgrades to highways, bridges, and truck parking facilities will reduce congestion, improve safety, and make freight movement more efficient.
  • Simplified Regulations: By streamlining compliance requirements, businesses like USKO can focus on growth, innovation, and delivering value rather than navigating unnecessary red tape.

USKO, Inc. is committed to embracing these changes and driving forward. We are confident that these developments will strengthen our industry and create opportunities for businesses, drivers, and the communities we serve.

As always, we are grateful for the trust our partners, customers, and team members place in us. Together, we will continue to innovate, grow, and lead the way in the trucking industry.

Best regards,
Vlad Skots
CEO, USKO, Inc.”
