House bill would guarantee truckers’ access to restrooms at docks

Apr 30, 2025 | Industry News

Reps. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) and Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pennsylvania) have reintroduced a bill (H.R. 2514) that would require facilities where truck drivers pick up or deliver freight to grant drivers access to restrooms.

The bill, which Nehls and Houlahan introduced twice before, would establish that restrooms would be in an area that does not create an obvious health or safety risk to the driver or post an obvious security risk to the establishment. The bill includes specific provisions for drayage truck operators. For more information, visit https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2514.
