FAST Lanes * USA - Trucker Tells Congress: Speed Up
Infrastructure funding, regulatory reform needed to smooth trade flow, says Celadon’s Russell
Washington,DC,USA -The Journal of Commerce, by William B. Cassidy -Oct 22, 2009: -- More federal funding and more “reasonable” regulation are needed to speed freight across the U.S. border, says the chief of one of the largest cross-border trucking operations in the U.S... In particular, more “Free and Secure Trade” lanes are needed to speed freight between the U.S. and Canada, the largest U.S. trading partner, Stephen Russell, chairman and CEO of Celadon Group, told a House subcommittee today... Few FAST lanes extend far back from the port of entry, he said, with most beginning a few yards before the initial inspection booth. That means truckers meant to benefit from the FAST lanes are stuck in traffic with other vehicles until shortly before their arrival at the border...Labels: border infrastructures
