Unreasonable Regulations Hinder Business Growth

Here's one from the file of crazy regulations: Truckers will soon be required to carry a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) from the U.S. Department of Transportation, but you can only obtain them in person. Easy enough, right? Not if you live in one of 12 states where the nearest TWIC office is hundreds of miles away.

What's more, "the TWIC program requires in-person enrollment, followed by a second appointment at the same location to personally pick up the biometric identification card," according to the LandLine article.

If you're not a trucker, you probably can't relate to this, but as a small-business owner, you can relate to being overly burdened by government regulations that fail to take small-business interests into consideration.

So what can you do? Follow these tips from NFIB on making your voice heard on the issues that matter to your small business.
