BUREAUCRACY * USA - TWIC forces many truckers to go coastal – twice
Grain Valley,MO,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Charlie Morasch -January 7, 2008: -- Robert Billard makes six or seven trips a year to ports in Texas, South Carolina and Georgia, then returns home to Colorado Springs, CO, with steel, lumber and other imports loaded onto his flatbed and 1998 Mack truck... Billard, an OOIDA member, wants to enroll in the Transportation Worker Identification Credential program to make his one-man, one-truck business more marketable. Unfortunately for Billard, he lives in one of a batch of states near the Rocky Mountains that are hundreds of miles from the nearest TWIC enrollment centers... For now, Billard says he’s not planning on enrolling in TWIC. He’d rather avoid driving hundreds of miles out of his way to an area that may or may not have sufficient truck parking... Eventually, Billard knows he’ll see a load board stacked with better paying freight for TWIC cardholders... “Right now I’m putting it on the back burner,” he said. “They just made it so hard”...Labels: bureaucracy affairs
