H.R. 2391 creates a tax credit to incentivize people to work as commercial truck drivers and help address supply chain challenges. The bill offers eligible truck drivers a $7,500 annual refundable tax credit, with new drivers to the industry receiving $10,000 in their first year. To qualify, drivers must hold a valid Class A commercial driver's license, operate tractor-trailer combinations, work at least 1,900 hours per year (or an average of 40 hours weekly if new to the profession), and have adjusted gross income below $90,000 to $135,000 depending on filing status. The credit also includes a special provision for apprentices in registered truck driving programs, allowing their training hours to count toward the work requirement. The tax credit takes effect for the 2025 tax year and expires after December 31, 2026, with amounts adjusted for inflation in future years if extended.
