With this comes a great deal of responsibility and opportunity. First, I must thank outgoing President Joe Sculley for his support and continued guidance as I transition into the job. My immediate focus was to tackle the newly passed highway use tax and determine staffing needs at MTAC. I wanted to be sure we were meeting and offering our members the services they need. MTAC STAFFING NEEDS: Marcy Flemke, Advocacy and Operations Coordinator, came on board in November 2022, she has over 20 years in association management. Her tireless effort does not go unnoticed. She has helped stabilize the day-to-day operations of MTAC in her short time with us. Todd Petell, Safety Director, came on board in December 2022, he is retired Connecticut State Police Officer with a focus on commercial vehicle legal and regulatory compliance. He is helping to reengineer our commercial vehicle classroom offerings, as well as, answering all safety questions you may pose daily. HIGHWAY USE TAX 1ST MAJOR ISSUE: It did not take long for the first major issue to rear its head in my tenure at MTAC. Two years ago, In June 2021 the highway use tax (HUT) law was passed. It required tractor trailer trucks to begin paying a weight-based tax beginning January 2023 to support the special transportation fund. In November 2022, I was on the job no more than a month when the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) issued guidance for the new HUT law. It could be argued this is the most significant issue the industry has faced in many years. We were fielding multiple calls a day seeking clarity for the DRS guidance. The DRS guidance was confusing and clearly showed that the state of Connecticut policymakers has little knowledge of the trucking industry and how it operates. To keep the membership informed about the HUT guidance we provided access to webinars, power point presentations and government affairs efforts. At our request, DRS hosted a webinar. Our members had a litany of questions regarding their individual companies’ ability to meet the compliance that were left all but unanswered. With little to no traction with DRS, we turned our focus back to the legislature. Thanks to the House Republicans and their leadership we were granted the opportunity to testify at a public hearing. MTAC and several of our members provided testimony on the record outlining how costly and cumbersome the HUT law is to consumers and our membership. In the end, the HUT law is not going to be overturned by the legislature. It appears we will be left with having to seek relief in a court of law. The success in a court of law will hinge on the unfair effect this law has on in-state carriers verses out-of-state carriers. The law has no enforcement mechanism, and this will lead to noncompliance with out-of-state carriers, just as we have seen in every other state that offers a HUT program. The HUT law was a great first test for me and the new team. It challenged us to jump right in and find ways to meet our members needs. We look forward to all challenges ahead. Each challenge we face is an opportunity to grow and learn. I am grateful for the new job and look forward to representing the Connecticut trucking industry for many years to come.

Connecticut now bears the dubious distinction of having put into law a rare “highway use tax” (HUT) that applies only to commercial trucks, whether operating within or through the state. More specifically, it is a weight-distance tax that requires a truck to pay a per-mile tax based on the weight of the truck. And, of course, that means the heavier the truck, the higher the tax. Besides the obviously discriminatory and outsized burden nature the HUT law places on trucking operations to directly pay for the upkeep of Connecticut’s roadways, there are flaws in the wording of the law that additionally impact affected businesses. In other words, even if advocacy led to reform of this tax, complying with this law would still be difficult for truck fleets. HERE ARE THE KEY PROVISIONS OF THE HIGHWAY USE TAX (PUBLIC ACT NO. 21-177): • Applies to commercial vehicles classified from Class 8 to Class 13 or a gross weight of 26,000 pounds or more. Exemptions will be made for milk haulers traveling to or from a dairy farm. Effective Jan. 1, 2023 • Carriers and drivers with vehicles meeting the criteria will have to register online for a Highway Use Fee Permit with the Department of Revenue Services. After registering, the permit is available via MyConneCT, the state’s online filing and payment system. • Tax is calculated based on the vehicle’s weight and number of miles driven in the state, ranging from 2.5 cents per mile for vehicles weighing 26,000 to 28,000 pounds to 17.5 cents per mile for vehicles weighing more than 80,000 pounds. • Calculating the tax is the responsibility of the carrier or driver. The fee is calculated at the end of the month and is due on or before the last day of the following month. The penalty for an incomplete or late filing is 10% of the amount of the tax due or BY DAVID CULLEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER Impact of HUT Tax Battle 6 • THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL ISSUE 1 2023

$50, whichever is greater. Per Connecticut statutes, anyone who knowingly violates the new law will be fined $1,000. TOUCHY TOUCHDOWN It’s easy to portray HUT as a political football lobbed by Gov. Ned Lamont that was put over the goal line strictly by party line votes, cast by his fellow Democrats in the House and Senate. Fair or not, casting it as a wrong-headed political play doesn’t change the fact that HUT is on the books. That’s why the Board of the Motor Transportation Association of Connecticut (MTAC) has already developed a multipoint strategy to seek reform, if not repeal, of this law through legislation while also advocating immediately for fixes to its compliance issues. MTAC is also leaving the door open to seeking redress in the courts. “To start at the start,” said John Blair, president of MTAC, “Gov. Lamont first made a run at taxing trucks in 2017, when he campaigned for adopting tractor-trailer only tolling here, like Rhode Island’s. Once elected, though, he realized that to be fair and equitable, tolls could not be collected only from trucks. Then he pushed for various tolling schemes, including for all vehicles, and those all failed. “Still, he wanted to have a victory to generate monies for the state’s Special Transportation Fund, as that would help raise the state’s bond rating,” continued Blair. So, as part of his latest budget, Lamont included HUT to raise $45 million the first year and, after that, $90 million annually expressly for the state’s Special Transportation Fund. But the fly in that ointment looms large: Despite the recent “gas tax holiday” periods that cost the state hundreds of millions in tax revenue, the transportation Building ConstruCtion Heavy Civil ConstruCtion ConstruCtion Materials Masonry ProduCts ogind.com CONTINUED ISSUE 1 2023 THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL • 7

coffers are flush. And that belies the argument for HUT. Indeed, the governor’s budget office has projected that the $1.8 billion transportation fund will close at $226 million-- or 12% in the black. BEGGING THE QUESTION That begs the question why HUT was even needed. That comes down to bad timing. Developments since the governor signed the HUT bill make a dramatic difference in the budget picture. For starters, the trillion-dollar federal infrastructure act was passed, under which Connecticut will receive $5.38 billion in federal funding. The state had no reason to expect such largesse. Also, per MTAC, projections from Connecticut’s Office of Fiscal Analysis show the state’s Special Transportation Fund will run a surplus for the next several fiscal years. This sunny projection also became news only after HUT became law. Those federal billions earmarked for Connecticut further change the calculus now, too. “Let’s leverage that against HUT projected revenue of $45 million and then $90 million a year,” Blair said. “Then it becomes, why do we need this tax?” He also remarked that HUT adds overhead. “Any tax is overhead to a business. That is passed onto their customers, many of whom are struggling financially right now.” Rising revenues may be good for bond ratings, but they are not so good in other ways. Leaders from both political parties and labor and business interests are concerned that Connecticut must spend more soon on highways or risk losing both taxpayer confidence and its ability to maximize federal aid, as reported recently by the Hartford Courant. EVASIVE IMPACT Yet another mark against HUT – one that could help in advocating for its repeal – is the tax’s high probability of evasion. “New York State has had a highway-use tax in place for a while and they are still suffering an evasion rate of 50% of the out-of-state trucks. If that’s the case here, it will mean the burden of the tax will fall on in-state carriers.” Then there’s dealing with compliance. Complying with HUT results in high administrative costs to maintain the required records. In other states with weight-distance taxes, some carriers have dedicated staff just to deal with compliance. A present concern to reform HUT is to gain traction against compliance issues. “The state’s guidance on compliance is overly burdensome,” Blair pointed out. “The Dept. of Revenue Services has been responsive to our concerns. But they cannot change what is stipulated by the bill. “So,” he continued “my ‘ask’ this legislative session will be to adjust – soften – the quarterly and yearly compliance. We do believe we can get compliance reform now, at least for that, because they [lawmakers] know it’s ridiculous as written.” POTENT ARGUMENT The new federal funds, the current optimistic projections on the transportation funds, the risk to voter confidence, the potential for evasion, and the compliance burden combined make for a potent argument for repealing HUT altogether – or at least reducing its bite. Indeed, at this writing, there are no less than six bills proposed to repeal HUT altogether and one focused on reforming the “filing of highway use tax returns” [see sidebar]. Unless a substantial number of Democrats sign on to at least one or the repeal bills, they will all be going nowhere fast. As Blair indicated, it’s hard to put this toothpaste back in the tube: “We don’t expect HUT to be repealed, but this is one time we [Connecticut’s trucking industry] need to come together to work towards the best outcome. “The end of the story is that if there is no legislative or regulatory relief in sight, we will sue for redress,” Blair stated. “Ironically, if we sue it will be on the basis of the similarity of Connecticut’s HUT to Rhode Island’s RhodeWorks truck-only tolling. And that scheme was struck down as unconstitutional by a federal judge last year.” Connecticut is now one of but five states with some sort of weight-distance tax placed on commercial vehicles. That says a lot. Saying lots more is that more than 20 states that previously had weight-distance truck taxes ultimately repealed them. Connecticut’s House Republican caucus, led by House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora were so concerned with other states failures that they petitioned to force a public hearing on HB 5290 An Act Sunsetting the Highway Use Tax, just this past month. A procedural move that has not been leveraged in Connecticut for over 12 years. There were more than 150 pieces of public hearing testimony submitted supporting a sunsetting of the HUT law.  MTAC submitted testimony on behalf of the association, eight members testified orally, and several other members WISHFUL THINKING Although they won’t have any hope of passage without Democratic votes, already there’s an even half-dozen bills proposed in the Connecticut House to repeal HUT, as well as one directed at reforming part of its compliance. H.B. NO. 5290 An Act Sunsetting the Highway Use Tax. There were up to 20 bills filed to eliminate the HUT. However, this is the only bill that was called for a public hearing. PROPOSED H.B. NO. 5164  An Act Concerning the Filing of Highway Use Tax Returns. Since a repeal is unlikely, we hope a bill will be passed that will make the compliance more clear. 8 • THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL ISSUE 1 2023

submitted testimony in support and passage of sunsetting the law.  However, the Governor and his fellow democrats continue to be unsympathetic when it comes to considering a repeal or sunsetting of the law. Their continued reluctance to reconsider has been unfortunately consistent. They appear to underplay the negative financial impact this onerous tax will have on our members and Connecticut consumers.

LEADING WITH DATA, NOT EMOTION ATRI’s research uses data and analyses to dissect the true impacts of policies and regulations across a range of critical topics including Hours-of-Service, autonomous vehicles, CSA, tolling, and nuclear verdicts. WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD ATRI has a long history of research focused on the issues and concerns of professional truck drivers. From involvement in over 40 national, state, and regional truck parking studies to quantifying the impacts of detention, ATRI’s analyses provide a key input to advancing the safety and productivity of the industry’s workforce. OPERATIONAL DATA YOU CAN COUNT ON Whether you’re looking to route your drivers around congestion or benchmark your costs against your peers in the industry, ATRI’s analyses combine real-world data with a deep understanding of industry operations. THE NATION’S TOP TRUCK BOTTLENECKS 2021 Since 2002, the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has collected and processed truck GPS data in support of numerous U.S. DOT freight mobility initiatives. Using truck GPS data from over 1 million freight trucks, ATRI develops and monitors a series of key performance measures on the nation’s freight transportation system. Among many GPS analyses, ATRI converts its truck GPS dataset into an ongoing truck bottleneck analysis that is used to quantify the impact of traffic congestion on truck-borne freight at over 300 specific locations. While other datasets may identify congested corridors, no dataset available today specifically identifies granular chokepoints in the nation’s truck freight transportation system. ATRI’s annual Top Truck Bottleneck Analysis uses a full year of truck GPS data to calculate the top chokepoints. However, 2020 was by all definitions a different year with pandemic-related impacts intersecting with traffic patterns. In a March 2020 analysis using its truck GPS dataset, ATRI found average truck speeds at some of the worst truck bottlenecks improve by 100% or more as car drivers sheltered in place and trucks kept moving to deliver essential goods. In a separate analysis in April 2020, ATRI found state-level truck activity increased in early February as panic-buying drove consumer demand, followed by a decrease in truck activity as more businesses were closed. However, by April and into May, ATRI’s Truck Activity Index began to improve across the states analyzed, signaling a return to pre-pandemic freight demand. An additional impact on traffic congestion in 2020 was the number of roadway construction projects that were able to commence and/ or advance at a faster pace due to fewer vehicles on the road during the pandemic. Once traffic levels increased in the second half of 2020, those construction projects became even more congested. As such, this year’s Top Truck Bottleneck list reflects a rise in ranking in a number of locations impacted by roadway construction.

Fuel prices were the top industry concern in the latest American Transportation Research Institute›s “Critical Issues in the Trucking Industry – 2022” survey of drivers, motor carrier personnel and other industry stakeholders. The issue replaced the driver shortage, which fell to number two after five years as the top concern. The results of the 18th annual survey were released Oct. 22 at the American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition in San Diego. The survey was open for responses from Sept. 6 through Oct. 7, 2022. Respondents were asked to choose between 28 critical issues. Those ranked as most important were valued at three points, while those ranked second were assigned two points and those ranked third received one point. Respondents also ranked three preferred strategies for each issue that also were ATRI Survey: Fuel Prices Trucking’s Most Critical Issue BY STEVE BRAWNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER CONTINUED ISSUE 1 2023 THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL • 11

selected by ATRI. They could write in their own preferred strategy. The top issue, fuel prices, was ranked in the top three by 27.5% of respondents and was ranked number one by 11.7%. More than 4,200 people responded to this year’s survey, the most ever. Last year, more than 2,500 responded. Professional truck drivers represented 47.2% of the respondents, while motor carrier executives and personnel were 38.8% and other industry stakeholders were 14%. Those included industry suppliers, driver trainers and law enforcement. This year’s survey saw a significant increase in commercial drivers, who in 2021 represented only 24.1% of respondents – about half of this year’s percentage. With more driver respondents, issues such as fuel prices and truck parking ranked higher than they have in the past. Many of the respondents were owneroperators, who have been especially hard hit by high diesel prices. ATRI President and Chief Operating Officer Rebecca Brewster was pleased to see more drivers taking part in the survey. “I believe where we can see the number of motor carrier personnel and the number of professional driver respondents more closely represented, I think that’s good,” she said. “They’re both big parts of the equation. So any time we see more than 50% of one group, I feel like we’re not getting representation from the other one. So I was good with this mix.” Brewster said the increased number of drivers may have been the result of several factors, including the fact that drivers may see the survey as a tool for amplifying issues such as truck parking. She said ATRI has a strong relationship with OOIDA, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which serves on its Research Advisory Committee. TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE/CONGESTION/ FUNDING Four issues appeared in the top 10 among both motor carrier personnel and commercial drivers. Fuel prices were second among drivers and third among motor carriers, while the economy was fifth among motor carriers and sixth among drivers. Truck parking was ranked by drivers as their top concern, and its growing importance to the industry was reflected in its number 10 ranking by motor carriers. The other shared concern was detention/delay at customer facilities, which was fourth among drivers and ninth among motor carriers. Brewster noted that workforce issues continue to be top of mind for motor carrier personnel, with the driver shortage and driver retention at numbers one and two and the diesel technician shortage at number eight. That was similar to last year’s results, when the driver shortage and driver retention were the top two among motor carrier personnel while the diesel technician shortage was seventh. Neither of those three issues appeared in the drivers’ top 10. Fuel prices, which had not been in the top 10 since 2013 when it was number eight, jumped to the top of the list as fleets and owner-operators dealt with record-high fuel costs. Commercial drivers ranked it as their second highest issue, while owner-operators ranked it as their top concern for the second year in the row. Motor carrier executives and personnel ranked it third. “It’s interesting because the very first one of these surveys we did in 2005, the number one and number two issues overall were fuel costs and driver shortage,” Brewster said. “Fast forward to 2022, that’s the same top two issues.” She noted that the inaugural survey The top 10 issues were as follows: • Fuel prices • Driver shortage • Truck parking • Driver compensation • Economy • Detention/delay at customer facilities • Driver retention • CSA • Speed limiters • Lawsuit abuse reform Results among motor carrier personnel were as follows: • Driver shortage • Driver retention • Fuel prices • CSA • Economy • Lawsuit abuse reform • Insurance cost/availability • Diesel technician shortage • Detention/delay at customer facilities • Truck parking Among commercial drivers, the results were as follows: • Truck parking • Fuel prices • Driver compensation • Detention/delay at customer facilities • Speed limiters • Economy • Hours-of-service rules • Electronic logging device mandate • Driver training standards • Transportation infrastructure/ congestion/funding 12 • THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL ISSUE 1 2023

came after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Fuel supplies were down and prices had increased. A majority of respondents, 54.7%, said their preferred strategy for addressing the problem is for the trucking industry to “Advocate for federal actions that help stabilize the supply of fuel and minimize price volatility.” Second at 23.2% was “Research potential factors that may be affecting fuel availability and pricing volatility.” The least preferred strategy at 6.8% was “Promote financial incentives for alternative and renewable fuels to support growth and reduce costs during development and market expansion.” ATRI’s 2022 Operational Costs of Trucking report found only 7% of respondents used some form of alternative fuel. While the driver shortage was no longer the top-ranking critical issue, it remained number two and received a higher percentage of first-place votes at 12.2% than fuel prices. It was number one among motor carriers but was not in the top 10 among drivers. The American Trucking Associations says the industry currently is short 78,000 drivers, an amount that could reach 160,000 by 2031. The most preferred strategy at 39.1% was “Support outreach initiatives targeting high school students and young adults.” The report notes that a third of truck drivers are over age 55. The second most preferred strategy at 24.6% was related to the first: “Work with industry insurers to identify ways to expand coverage for younger drivers as part of the Safe Driver Apprenticeship Program.” That program allows up to 3,000 18-20-year-olds to engage in interstate freight commerce, but ATRI has found that 50% of small fleets and 30% of large ones said insurance costs are a significant barrier. The thirdranking preferred strategy was, “Advocate for regulatory changes to allow a state to administer a driving skills test to any outof-state commercial driver’s license (CDL) applicant, regardless of where the applicant received driver training.” That strategy was selected by 23.3%. Truck parking, which has been a top five issue since 2015 and was fifth in 2021, was the third ranking issue. It was the top concern among truck drivers. Both company drivers and owner-operators/ independent contractors ranked it second, with company drivers ranking driver compensation first while owner-operators/ independent contractors chose fuel prices. Motor carrier personnel ranked it 10th. The most preferred strategy, selected by 38.1%, was “Encourage local and regional governments to reduce the regulatory burdens limiting the construction and expansion of truck parking facilities. Second, selected by more than 35%, was “Create a new dedicated federal funding program designed to increase truck parking capacity at freight-critical locations.” The third-ranking strategy was “Research the relationship between truck parking availability and highway safety.” It was selected by 10.8%. Brewster noted that truck parking reached number 10 among motor carrier personnel after long being ranked high by drivers. “That, I think, is a reflection of the fact that they realize this is a big issue that’s impacting their ability to find and keep drivers,” she said. “We talk about wanting more women in the industry, but if we can’t provide safe parking, it’s not going to attract a lot of women into the industry.” Driver compensation was the fourthranking critical issue. The issue entered the top five in 2019 and hasn’t left. It was ranked third by commercial drivers but was not in the top 10 among motor carriers. Company drivers ranked it first while owner-operators/independent contractors ranked it third. Ranking fifth was the economy, which made its first appearance in the top 10 since 2020. Brewster said the economy’s high ranking was the result of a number of factors: inflation, fuel prices, and, as demonstrated by many of the writein comments, difficulties in obtaining equipment and parts because of supply chain issues. The sixth ranking issue was detention/ delay at customer facilities, which entered the top 10 in 2019 and has remained there since. Number seven, driver retention, fell five places from its number two ranking in 2021. However, motor carriers ranked it second behind driver shortage, as they did last year. Number eight was the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability measurement system. CSA first appeared in 2010 as the number two issue, was number four in 2011, and was number one in 2012. It has never left the top 10 since. At number nine was speed limiters, which entered the top 10 for the first time after being ranked there by drivers for several years. Drivers this year ranked it fifth, and more than one out of five ranked it as their top concern. The ranking comes after the FMCSA earlier this year issued a notice of intent to move forward on a speed limiter rulemaking in 2023. Number 10 lawsuit abuse reform was in the top 10 for the third year in a row, dropping from fourth in 2021. Motor carrier respondents ranked it sixth after ranking it third in 2021. They ranked seventh a closely related issue, insurance cost/availability. That issue fell just outside of the overall top 10 at number 11 after ranking ninth last year. Also falling out of the top 10 were the diesel technician shortage, which last year was 10th, and transportation infrastructure/congestion/funding, which ranked eighth last year. It was number 10 on the driver list but didn’t make the motor carrier list. “Maybe that is a reflection of the fact on the carrier side, they feel like, well, we now finally have a signed infrastructure law in place, and so now we’re going to finally start to address the issues,” Brewster said. “And maybe on the driver side, it’s well, we’re still sitting stuck in traffic congestion.” TTP ISSUE 1 2023 THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL • 13

Workforce shortages remain one of the trucking industry’s biggest challenges.  In 2021, the American Trucking Associations reported that the truck driver shortage hit a record high of over 80,000 drivers. It is imperative that the trucking industry attract younger employees to ensure longterm viability. For that reason, the American Transportation Research Institute recently completed a study entitled “Integrating Younger Adults into Trucking Careers”.  ATRI’s research identified strategies for promoting younger employee recruitment, training, and retention that have proven successful for carriers and employees alike. Below are the key findings and best practices. YOUNGER EMPLOYEE RECRUITMENT While younger drivers are motivated by pay, it is not the only factor. Sixty percent of younger driver interviewees said that another factor was equally or more important. The most common responses were a stable career path, love of driving, and a schedule that allows for work/life balance. Younger drivers asserted that greater transparency would help attract younger drivers. Their suggestions included making job postings more explicit about expectations BY REBECCA BREWSTER GUEST WRITER Integrating Younger Adults into Trucking Careers ATRI’s new study results for attracting younger employees to the industry 14 • THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL ISSUE 1 2023

or requirements and posting “day in the life” videos or other content to help convey a sense of what a job in trucking is like. Eighty-four percent of younger drivers consider company culture important. Younger drivers identified concrete practices for building community-centered company cultures: promoting supportive managers, making sure employees understand each other’s roles first-hand, encouraging managers and coworkers to show each other leeway as needed, encouraging employees to ask and share their own unique strategies for success, and establishing opportunities for casual social interaction among employees. Seventy-three percent of younger drivers were introduced to trucking through a family member in the industry. YOUNGER EMPLOYEE TRAINING Twenty percent of younger drivers believe that training could be improved by providing better instruction for trainers themselves. In addition, 14 percent of drivers recommended more driving time and variety. These were younger drivers’ top recommendations. Younger drivers want more time behind the wheel and more mentors in order to gain the experience and perspectives necessary to do their job well. Training programs that include duties beyond driving – such as conflict resolution,loading, yard work, budgeting, and other aspects of the freight process – can improve recruitment, retention, and driver success by equipping younger drivers with a wider range of skills to face unexpected challenges and more fully integrating them into the company culture. YOUNGER EMPLOYEE RETENTION Carriers with an apprenticeship program found that graduates had higher retention rates than non- graduates. Younger drivers who graduated from apprenticeship programs feel confident that their carrier is invested in the continued development of their skills as drivers. Both small and large fleets ranked raising compensation as the most effective retention strategy for their younger drivers. Younger drivers also communicated they were attracted to the industry by the income potential over the span of a stable career rather than just in the short-term. Younger and experienced drivers alike appreciate opportunities to learn from each other. Carriers can promote these relationships by establishing mentorships and opportunities for driver interaction. Environments where younger drivers feel comfortable to communicate their concerns regularly either via direct communication with a superior or a company-wide survey increases engagement among younger drivers. Younger drivers appreciate schedule flexibility and consistency. Opportunities for regular home time or hybrid positions can appeal to individuals who otherwise might not have joined the industry.

Yet Axel Carrión, UPS VP & MTAC 2022-2024 board chair, wants what’s best for carriers large and small BY STEVE BRAWNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARK A. DAVIS Setting His Sights High Axel Carrión didn’t intend to stay with UPS for 29 years when he first went to work there as a loader. It was just a part-time job for the 19-year-old criminal justice major who had dreamed of going into law enforcement since growing up in a tough Bronx neighborhood. But the longer he stayed with the company, the more it felt like home. Now he defends UPS’s interests – and the trucking industry’s – as vice president of state government and public affairs, and as MTAC’s chairman. “It’s a place where it doesn’t matter where you come from, what your upbringing was, it’s an opportunity where if you just work hard, you can move up,” he said of UPS. “I’m a classic example of that in all the positions that I’ve had and moving up to my current role. Starting as a loader, right, and working my way now to a VP, and it’s not unusual. If you look at a lot of the success stories from UPS, you can come in with a high school diploma, and as long as you work hard, you have that opportunity to advance.” Carrión, 48, covers a lot of territory. He’s responsible for keeping tabs on policymakers in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C. He not only works with legislators but also external stakeholders including advocacy groups, Chambers of Commerce, trucking associations and other nonprofits. He also helps coordinate community relations and drives sustainability efforts in those areas. Meanwhile, he oversees government and public affairs in five midwestern states: Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, with a director on the ground in charge of daily operations. What does he enjoy most about lobbying? “I know it sounds cliche, but the people you meet,” he said. “I’ve had an opportunity to meet and engage with people from so many different places and backgrounds. If you’d told me growing up in the Bronx that I would be in a position to sit at a table and have a say with high-level decision makers with high impact, I’m not sure that I would have believed you. The other part that I really love is just this position gives me really the opportunity to influence others in so many ways.” Carrión will lead MTAC despite the fact that he lives in North Brunswick, New Jersey, five minutes from the campus of Rutgers University. That won’t be a problem. He’s been active with the association since he started in his current role in 2017. He lives an hour-and-a- CONTINUED ISSUE 1 2023 T H E T R A N S P O RTAT I O N P RO F ES S I O NA L • 17

half from the Connecticut border and a threehour drive from the MTAC office. He travels often between the states he covers, preferring, when possible, to travel by Amtrak because it’s faster and he can get work done. He’s also involved with trucking associations in New York and Maryland, both of which are larger and have larger boards. MTAC is a little different because it’s smaller and more intimate, he said. Carrión said working with multiple states does offer advantages. Many times, he sees trends happening elsewhere before they come to Connecticut. For example, New York and New Jersey, states that effectively have year-round legislative sessions, have adopted certain climate measures that could be coming to Connecticut. He also can learn from the work that’s been done by other trucking associations, Chambers of Commerce and advocacy groups. MTAC President John Blair said Carrión and he talk two or three times a week, and if Carrión is needed, he won’t hesitate to come to Connecticut. Carrión led the committee that hired Blair. In fact, Blair said Carrión’s professionalism and vision were big reasons why he accepted the job. “You can tell when you meet him that he has a deep sense of character and morale that is very well oriented. … He’s just very present,” Blair said. “You know when you get to sit with somebody, and you can tell that they’re in a good place because they’re able to be there with you? It’s always like that with him. Like, he’s right in the moment.” For UPS and for trucking, the biggest legislative issue in Connecticut is the highway use tax which lawmakers passed in 2021 and which went into effect Jan. 1. Motor carriers are charged per mile based on each vehicle’s gross weight, with fees ranging from 2.5 cents for vehicles weighing 26,000 to 28,000 pounds up to 17.5 cents for those weighing more than 80,000. Connecticut is one of only five states to have such a fee joining New York, Kentucky, New Mexico and Oregon Carrión said he is “cautiously optimistic” that eventually the tax will be repealed, though he acknowledges it might take more than one legislative session to make it happen. “It’s becoming very, very expensive to operate in and around the Connecticut area,” he said. “Right now, the members have expressed that this is certainly their greatest interest by far.” The Legislature and governor passed the fee with the goal of collecting revenues from out-of-state truckers, but there are problems with that reasoning. First, the fee also hurts in-state trucking companies. Second, it raises the costs of goods for Connecticut consumers. And third, it may be unconstitutional. Carrión noted that Rhode Island’s truck-only tolling plan, also touted as a way to extract money from out-of-state trucking companies, was Tristate Truck Driver Champions 18 • THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL ISSUE 1 2023

recently declared unconstitutional by a judge because the scheme violated the Constitution’s interstate commerce clause. Blair said the association is preparing a lawsuit against the Department of Revenue Services to overturn the fee. In the meantime, MTAC is asking for some compliance measures to be relaxed, like the burdensome requirement that payments be made monthly. Overall, Carrión expected tax, labor and climate issues to be the most important ones affecting trucking this legislative session. Connecticut is one of several states that tends to adopt California’s emissions standards, which is a big concern for the trucking industry. Stricter standards add to the cost of a truck, while having a patchwork of laws and regulations across state lines is a problem for an interstate industry. Politics is a game of wins and losses, and Carrión has seen his share of successes. Connecticut has taken a number of probusiness stances as it has emerged from the COVID pandemic. It didn’t raise taxes, and in 2023 he and others will be pushing for tax relief. Among his biggest allies in his legislative efforts is Helen Brooks, his counterpart with FedEx who served as MTAC’s previous chair. While their companies are competitive in the field, in state capitols they are strong allies. They have the same interests representing two of the nation’s largest carriers and the larger trucking industry. They also serve in a challenging part of the country with high taxes, high costs, and sometimes a less-thanbusiness-friendly climate. Brooks, who works with Carrión in both Connecticut and New York, praised him for his collaborative and consensus-building efforts. He often sends her a heads-up about a potentially harmful bill. She said he has a deep concern for the trucking industry and for the companies of various sizes that are a part of it. “He is one who cares about all those parts,” she said. “You would think because he represents a company as big as UPS that he would just be focused on the needs of his company, but he’s not like that at all. He is extremely concerned about the industry as a whole, and that is from the one-truck shop up into the thousands of trucks shop. He is a good person to work with, and you certainly in working with him always know that he has your back, and I’ve appreciated that. We have a very good working relationship, and I consider him a friend as well.” Carrión said supporting small business is a major focus of his efforts with the Legislature. UPS depends on them and their customers, and when small businesses engage in the legislative process, MTAC’s voice is better heard. Carrión also seeks to work with groups that might not be so closely aligned with the trucking industry. “It’s about building coalitions, right?” he said. “It’s about finding areas where you can come together and agree, whether it be Round-the-clock support and 24/7 an extensive service network ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CALL 1-800-526-0798 10 Shoham Road, East Windsor, CT 06088 (860) 623-0034 Penske Truck Rental - Hartford CONTINUED ISSUE 1 2023 THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL • 19

advocacy groups that might disagree with us on certain positions, finding areas where we agree on things and coming together and working off that and then working out our differences from there. “I think what we find is when we try to find commonality, especially with groups that may be on opposing sides, we commonly find that we have more that we agree to as opposed to what we don’t agree to. So, we kind of work from there, and it’s about building relationships and building trust. We respect each other’s ideas, we respect each other’s opinions, we respect that we’re going to have different views, but as long as we’re at the table having a conversation, there’s always an opportunity to advance the overall objective.” Carrión’s current position is the latest of a series of jobs with UPS, for whom he started working as a loader in May 1994 while a sophomore at the City University of New York. He’s also driven trucks, worked in security, and worked in operations and management before moving to his current role in 2017. He earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in criminal justice at CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. His interest in law enforcement arose from his experiences growing up in the housing projects in the Bronx. His neighborhood was a rough one, and it was a challenging time during the 1980s and 1990s crack epidemic. A cousin was murdered a couple of blocks from where Carrión lived. A number of his friends were either killed or ended up in the criminal justice system. “When it came to crime and violence, it wasn’t foreign to my upbringing, although I had a very solid upbringing with two wonderful parents, and an older brother,” he said. “So from a family perspective, it was a very strong, close-knit family, but obviously from a neighborhood and upbringing perspective, a lot of challenges came with that.” MTAC’s The Transportation Professional reaches more than 8,000 leaders in transportation throughout Connecticut and beyond.

He had an opportunity to join the New York Police Department in 1996 when UPS promoted him to its security department. Three years later, he had an opportunity to go into federal law enforcement, but he received another promotion at UPS. He enjoyed the people and considered it home, so he decided to make it a lifelong career. Carrión was born on the mainland after his parents moved there from Puerto Rico. He grew up living in two cultures. He and his family would often visit their family back home. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, so they traveled freely without needing a passport. While he was growing up in the Bronx, his extended family lived in a rural part of the island, doing “a lot with a little,” he said, while raising cattle, pigs and chickens. The culture was traditional and conservative. People worked hard, but time was dedicated to family, and multiple generations often lived in one household. His Puerto Rican heritage was an important part of his upbringing and continues to be an important part of who he is today. “I will say that in many functions, in many meetings, even in 2023, there aren’t many people who look like me, who grew up like the way I grew up,” he said. “But I will say that it’s always how you carry yourself, it’s the respect that you have with your colleagues, and if you work in such a way where honesty and integrity is what carries you, who you are, how you sound, what your makeup is, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter.” Part of his job is working with community relations managers in various parts of the country to understand what concerns are important in their communities, such as beautifying a neighborhood. Carrión serves on a number of boards. He’s on the board of the Regional Plan Association, a large nonprofit that addresses issues such as equity, transportation and housing. He’s a board member of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, which focuses on equity in transportation solutions in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. He also serves as a board advisor to HISPA (Hispanics Inspiring Students’ Performance and Achievement), a mentoring nonprofit for young people whose upbringings were like his In 2011 he started and began chairing the first New York chapter of the Latino Business Resource Group. Through the past 10 years in that position, he’s been able to mentor UPS pros who have moved up within the company and worked in the community. Carrión has other interests outside of his job and his volunteer work. He and wife Elizabeth, known as Liz, have two daughters. The oldest, Rachael, is graduating from Rutgers and has a job lined up with Johnson & Johnson. The other daughter, Madison, is a high school senior studying to be a professional ballerina. In his spare time, he does a lot of background acting as an extra in TV crime shows like “Law and Order.” Someone approached him the day before our interview and asked if he had appeared in “New Amsterdam.” It had been four years since he filmed that episode. “It’s just a hobby for me,” he said. “I always wanted to do acting, but because I was always going to school and working, I didn’t have much free time and never had the opportunity to pursue that. So, I pursued it. When I got older, in my 30s, I started taking some classes, and then I started doing some community theater work. I actually got nominated for best supporting actor in New Jersey for community theater. I didn’t win, but I got nominated, so that was nice.” Last year, he and five friends completed a seven-year journey (not including a break taken for COVID), where they watched games in person in all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. Carrión coordinated the trips, which included samplings of the local cultures and cuisines. He started the process planning on going alone, but more and more friends expressed an interest. He is hoping next to tour the nation’s 30 NFL stadiums. So far, he’s seen one: MetLife Stadium, where the New York Jets and New York Giants play. “I would recommend to anyone who wants to see the country,” he said. “That’s a great way to do it.” TTP ISSUE 1 2023 THE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL • 21
