Subject: Request for Reform in Supply Chain and Logistics Policies
Dear Congressman Womack,
I hope my letter finds you well. My name is Clinton Roberts, and I am writing you today
regarding a supply chain policy matter that is currently impacting our local businesses and
community. As we try to find efficiencies in our supply chain and logistics systems, this industry
plays a critical role in the economic well-being of our state. I'm writing you to bring attention to
the current policy impacting the taxation structure on fuel used by freight transportation
companies. The current tax policy creates a burden on businesses that are engaged in the
movement of freight within the supply chain and transportation industry. As you know, the
transportation industry is a significant part of our economy and links suppliers to consumers,
creating the flow of products throughout the US.
Supply Chain and Logistics Policies
3
The current fuel tax policy disproportionately affects small and medium-sized businesses
in the supply chain in the freight transportation sector. These businesses are the backbone of our
local economy and provide employment opportunities, and support regional growth in the state
of Arkansas. The current tax policy on fuel not only increases operational costs for these
businesses but it also trickles down to the goods and services that the customer ultimately sees.
Considering the following points, I ask that you reconsider the current policy and push to reform
the current fuel tax structure.
1. Introduce a tiered tax rate system that takes into account the fuel efficiency of
transportation vehicles. This would encourage and incentivize supply chain businesses to invest
in more fuel-efficient technology while also reducing their tax burden with a policy focused on
environmental sustainability.
2. Create tax credits for businesses in the supply chain industry that have adopted
environmentally sustainable Practices that encourage alternative fuel utilization and the use of
electric vehicles.
3. Consider implementing tax exemptions or reduced tax rates for businesses that are
based in and operate in the state of Arkansas. This would promote local economic development
and support businesses directly serving our community.
By addressing these concerns and encouraging tax reform on the current fuel tax policies,
you can help drive change that supports growth for our local supply chain businesses. This would
also encourage fair competition in a very competitive industry.

Mr. Womack, I understand that policy reform involves careful consideration of a number
of factors, and I appreciate your dedication to the state of Arkansas and our community. Your
support would have a positive and lasting impact on the businesses in your district and the
community you serve. Thank you for taking the time to read over my concerns and consider my
suggestions when addressing the fuel tax reform issue.
Sincerely,
Clinton Roberts
