Oversize Loads * USA - Getting undersized permit process in Alta
Alberta carriers that specialize in oversize loads are about to get a new friend: TRAVIS
Edmonton,ALTA,CAN -Today's Trucking -10 April 2009: -- ... Alberta Transportation has been working on the Transportation Routing and Vehicle Information System (TRAVIS) for a number of years and is just about ready to launch a pilot version to the industry... The system aims to provide a quick and easy permit application process for oversize loads. Rather than applying for multiple permits, carriers will be able to apply once in the TRAVIS database and carry a load across several municipalities... Registered carriers will also be able to use the system to check the status of applications and permits... (Photo: albacorshipping: "Alberta's big trucks")
* Do regional deals trump national truck harmony?
Halifax,Nova Scotia,CAN -Today's Trucking -13 April 2009: -- Do you dream of a day when the weight of a load you haul in Prince Rupert, B.C. will be the same as it is in Corner Brook, Nfld., and everywhere in between?... Well, you should keep dreaming, just as truck operators have been doing for decades in Canada... One problem, some critics say, lies in regional agreements between provinces that preclude national uniformity... Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, for example, recently inked an agreement making it easier to haul goods between the two provinces by relaxing transport regulatory barriers, among other trade breaks... The deal is similar to the Trade, Investment and Labor Mobility Agreement (TILMA) signed between B.C. and Alberta in 2007, and is intended to eliminate trade barriers for freer-flowing business and labor practices...
