TRUCKERS' COMPLAIN * Bermuda - ' I was forced out of truck business'
Hamilton,Bermuda -The Royal Gazette, by Amanda Dale -25 Oct 2008: -- After 13 years as an independent trucker, Scott Lopes said this year he finally "had enough"... Mr. Lopes, 40, of Smith's, sold his business this summer out of frustration at the growing number of tractor trailer dumpsters on the roads... "I was forced out of business," said Mr. Lopes. "I sold my truck due to the influx of illegal dumpsters, as the loss in business resulted in me being unable to make a profit"... Richard Foggo, president of the New Bermuda General Truckers Association, yesterday estimated its members were losing up to $50,000 a day in business – approximately $500 each, due to the larger dumpster trucks being operated by construction and excavation companies... These vehicles can take up to five times the load of the smaller hire trucks, undercutting them in both time and costs... (Picture: Independent trucker Scott Lopes,'Forced out')
