Bob Lafleur
Rhode Island Independent Contractors

Picture
Last weeks startling display of rolling thunder at Lil Rhody's Mordor, (AKA The State House) shook up the streets of LaProv AND our very own slice o' heaven .. Halitosis Hall. 

Clearly, there are two voices in the Trucking Community  … And only one that is sync with the People of Rhode Island

Bob Lafleur is the Chief Executive Officer of RIICA:  Rhode Island Independent Contractors & Associates. Their stand on the issue is as straightforward as its membership. No Tolls. None. Not Ever. 

In this edition of The Coalition .. We start at Tolls … Then move on, exploring the backbone of the Rhode Island economy … Construction, Trucking, Distribution, and the Trades … The Competitive Pressures … The Regulatory Nightmares ...
