Clean Truck Container Fee * USA - Hundreds Turned Away On First Day Of
Hundreds of trucks attempting to enter marine terminals at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach were turned away today - the first day for collecting the ports' clean truck container fee - for not having the required workable radio frequency ID tags
Long Beach,CA,USA -The Cunningham Report -18 Feb 2009: -- ... The trucks that were turned away for not having tags were redirected to the ports' Truck Tag Replacement Center on Terminal Island, which resulted in hundreds of trucks jamming up on New Dock Avenue and a call to the CHP to help untangle the snarl. Due to the unexpectedly high volume, many truckers were urged to come back another day... Despite the glitches, Bruce Wargo, who oversees the PortCheck system, said he thought the first day came off "fairly successfully." Although about 20 percent of the trucks arriving at terminals were turned away, most were not. About 80 percent of the ones rejected were due to truck tag problems, not problems with the fee collection... He predicted that by Friday, the containers would be flowing again with few problems. He attributed much of today's problems to truckers putting off updating their tags until the last minute...
