Independent Truck Drivers * USA - Bans from the Port of Los Angeles?
A plan to completely ban independent truck drivers from the Port of Los Angeles by the end of 2013 was approved Thursday night
Mechanicsville,VA,USA -Masslogics Trucking News, by LiberalTrucker -21 May 2008: -- America has been a world leader in providing opportunities for everyone... The ongoing turmoil over the trucks on LA roads finally led the port authority of LA to ban all independent truckers. Numerous organizations have supported the port authority in their bid to develop a clean and safe port. The port authority says they are not discriminating against independent truckers, but they in fact claim that their actions will hopefully require trucking companies to use port based trucks driven by employee drivers... This will hopefully led to an improvement in wages, limit pollution, lead to reliable short haul trucking system and assign due to labor law rights to all drivers... Port officials have said that the plan will hold trucking companies accountable for maintaining big rigs, while also employing properly credentialed drivers... This does not sit well with the trucking companies who claim that this will lead to higher salaries, increased cost of labor and in the end, additional cost to the average consumer...
