CLEAN TRUCKS on the EAST * USA - Heading Off Regulation
Norfolk,VA,USA -Traffic World, by John Gallagher -16 Feb 2009: -- As Southern California gets ready to charge $70 per container for trucks entering its ports to defray the cost of a controversial clean truck program, a Pennsylvania drayage company is working to keep similar programs from infiltrating the East Coast... Evans Network, a trucking company with two intermodal drayage affiliates, is one of the first companies to invest in a public-private venture to provide low-cost financing for owner-operators that want to reduce pollution from their trucks... The investment will apply to trucks in his company's Century Express and Evans Delivery affiliates that serve the Port of Virginia at Norfolk... The partnership is part of the Virginia Port Authority's "Green Operators" pilot program, the first voluntary retrofit program at a U.S. port... VPA will contribute $3,000 toward the cost of retrofitting each truck and carriers are responsible for the balance. Each truck retrofit typically costs $6,000... Evans Network, which will spend roughly $90,000 to retrofit 30 to 35 of its independent contractors' trucks, is on a crusade to get similar programs started up and down the East Coast..
