Dozens of industry groups warned President Biden that his vaccine mandate would intensify rampant supply chain bottlenecks.

On Thursday, the Biden administration revealed its COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandate for employees at businesses with 100 or more workers. Noncompliant companies may be fined roughly $14,000 per violation.

In their open letter to President Biden, the industry groups – which included the American Trucking Associations, National Private Truck Council, and Truckload Carriers Association – predicted that trucking companies may lose nearly four in ten drivers due to the mandate.
