McGill claims the ICBA is squeezing the truck owner-operators on the rates, and that the agreement is not being honoured... But, ICBA President Philip Rochstein says the Teamsters Union does not set rates for the trucking industry, "Don McGill, I guess, is frustrated cause the majority of the industry is non-union and he has no control, no influence over the vast majority of trucking rates in the Province"...
