CLEAN TRUCKS DEBATE * USA - Final Briefs Filed in Clean-Truck Case
Appeal decision on permanent injunction pushed back to Feb. 2, 2010
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce, by Bill Mongelluzzo -Sep 16, 2009: -- The American Trucking Associations and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach filed the last of their legal arguments over clean-truck concession programs at the ports, leaving it up to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to determine if the concession programs should be blocked in their entirety... The briefs were filed after an appeal the ATA filed in June in which it charged that U.S. District Court Judge, Christina Snyder, did not go far enough when she enjoined only certain portions of the port’s concession requirements for motor carriers... Judge Snyder in April issued a preliminary injunction on certain provisions of the concession agreements, such as a requirement for the off-street parking of rigs and a requirement in the Los Angeles concession that motor carriers hire drivers as direct employees... In her ruling, Judge Snyder allowed other concession requirements to remain in effect, especially those that she said could be justified under reasons of port security and motor carrier safety... ATA in June challenged the remaining concession requirements as unnecessary and illegal and asked for a preliminary injunction against the concessions... Meanwhile, Judge Snyder has pushed back to Feb. 2, 2010, the trial of the ATA's case on its merits. That case involving ATA's request for a permanent injunction was originally scheduled for December 2009... (Photo from worktruckonline: 'Clean Truck Coalition' of 10 Southern California Carriers )
