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.
