Give Truckers The Restroom Access They Deserve

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM CONGRESS

SUPPORT H.R. 3869

The Trucker Bathroom Access Act would ensure that drivers have access to restroom facilities when they are picking up or delivering cargo.

FAST FACTS ABOUT TRUCKER BATHROOM ACCESS:

• Truck drivers are often not allowed access to restrooms while loading and unloading cargo at warehouses, retailers, and other businesses.
• Lack of restroom access contributes to the larger driver retention problem that has persisted for decades.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

• Imagine not having access to a restroom at work and being forced to “hold it” for hours on end. You probably wouldn’t like your job much.
• This is a particularly difficult scenario for women, who are becoming a larger and larger part of the trucking workforce.

WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?

• OOIDA strongly supports the Trucker Bathroom Access Act (HR 3869), bipartisan legislation introduced by U.S. Representatives Troy Nehls (R-TX) and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) to allow truckers access to restrooms where they are loading and unloading cargo.
• If a business provides restroom access to customers or employees, they should provide the same access to truck drivers who are loading or unloading cargo at the business.
