ATD FLY IN U.S. commercial truck dealers and dealer association executives from 31 states attended nearly 100 meetings on Capitol Hill last week, urging their members of Congress to cosponsor bipartisan legislation to repeal the 12-percent federal excise tax (FET) on the sale of heavy-duty trucks and trailers. 15. HOWWOULD YOU SPEND YOUR WINNINGS? The winners of the 2018 Big Raffle, Jennifer Pooler and Eric Pothier of Henry’s Collision Center, were creative in their use of their $25,000 prize. 17. GET THE BEST IN EYECARE AND EYEWEAR WITH NHADA AND VSP NHADA’s employee benefit plans feature a variety of choices for diffe- rent health needs. Many employees consider health insurance the primary coverage option, along with dental and life insurance. However, they may wonder whether they need vision insurance, especially if they are not having vision problems. But NHADA VSP vision benefits provide for more than just eye exams. 18. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH vs. THE EMERGENCY ROOM When someone is injured at work, there can be some confusion about medical treatment. The NHADA – WCT team offers members educa- tion and guidance about what to do when an employee is injured, inclu- ding treatment options within the managed care network … but we still have many instances where a better choice could have been made by the member and the injured worker. When in doubt, please call me and I can perform a mini triage and deter- mine what level of care is necessary. 20. 2019 CRUISIN’ AT THE LAKE RECAP: A TRIP TO REMEMBER Beginning on Sunday, June 23rd the NHADA, its members, partners, and friends took over Mill Falls at the Lake in Meredith, NH for a little busi- ness, networking, and some fun! 24.
