Biden Speaks at Volvo Plant
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is not a stranger to speaking to stakeholders in the trucking industry. Just a little over a year since he spoke at a Mack Trucks Plant in Pennsylvania, he is back at it again at a Volvo Group powertrain plant in Maryland. While there, he spoke about the economy for the working class.
Details
“The Volvo Group is very pleased to host President Biden at our Volvo Group Powertrain Operations today on National Manufacturing Day,” said Martin Weissburg, chairman of Volvo Group North America, in a statement. “National Manufacturing Day recognizes modern manufacturing, and our Hagerstown site exemplifies that as it provides advanced transportation technologies to meet customer needs today and in the future.”
Biden went on to speak for sixteen minutes at the plant. The core of his message is that in spite of some economic headwinds such as inflation, he remains optimistic for the future of the American economy and American manufacturing.
“We continue to grow our economy in a stable and sustainable way. We can build on an economy that works for everyone.”
With trucking jobs being at or near their all-time high, and truck sales breaking records, he may just have good reason to believe it.
“…the backbone of America, the people who get up every single morning, and go to work and break their necks and making a living…that’s who built this country!”

Conclusion
If there is anything we have learned since the start of the decade, it is that the trucking industry is incredibly resilient. The coronavirus pandemic, which killed demand for consumer goods at the start of 2020, rattled the industry, but trucking has since come back as strong as it did before the virus ravaged the world. Regardless of your personal views on Biden, it is abundantly clear that right now is a pretty good time to be a truck driver, fleet, or other industry stakeholder. With all the vast technological and economic changes the industry is undergoing, we believe the industry is on the verge of something big.
