🚛 Louisiana trucking’s top concerns are getting statewide attention.

Louisiana Radio Network featured LMTA’s 2026 Top Industry Issues results, highlighting that Louisiana truckers ranked lawsuit abuse reform and insurance cost and availability ahead of fuel prices as their top concerns.

LMTA Executive Director Renee Amar pointed specifically to the commercial insurance market:

“There’s not been any really big, bold reform taken to help the commercial industry; and just so people understand, this is not just 18-wheelers; this is anybody who has to buy a commercial policy.”

Louisiana’s trucking industry continues to face challenges that go beyond the price at the pump, and LMTA will keep working to make sure those concerns are heard.

🚛 Louisiana truckers are sending a clear message about what matters most in 2026.

Nationally, fuel prices ranked as the trucking industry’s top concern. But here in Louisiana, respondents ranked lawsuit abuse reform #1 and insurance cost and availability #2, with fuel prices coming in third.

That difference says a lot about the pressures Louisiana carriers are facing.

As LMTA Executive Director Renee Amar noted, Louisiana trucking companies are still fighting a different battle at home, where legal costs and insurance affordability continue to weigh heavily on businesses trying to keep trucks on the road.

LMTA will continue pushing for meaningful reform on issues including litigation costs, insurance affordability, phantom medical damages, limits on certain damages, and greater transparency around third-party litigation funding.

Great day at American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition — a full day of legal work that moved from case discussions to legislative updates to practical, real-world advice.
We started with the Litigation Center Board, covering a range of active cases and getting the latest on how ATA is tracking and engaging on them. From there we moved into the Legal Reform Advisory Council for updates on federal lawsuit abuse reform efforts and ongoing state-level work. Jerrod Smith with FedEx then gave a clear, ground-level look at the interconnected fraud networks, staged accidents, and RICO strategies carriers are using to push back.
The day wrapped with an educational session on a multi-carrier case, focused on concrete steps fleets can take to better insulate their businesses. We’ll bring those tips and takeaways back from Charlotte to share with you.
