TRUCKING INDUSTRY NEWS * USA - Groups file petition to stop drayage-truck registries
Such “port registries” violates FAAAA, and affects the price, route, or service offered by motor carriers
Grain Valley,MO,USA -Penton Media/Fleet Owner -Dec 23, 2010: -- The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), the New Jersey Motor Truck Association and the Port Drivers Federation 18 have jointly filed a petition with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to prohibit the formation of mandatory drayage truck registries being compiled by various ports as well as one currently used by California Air Resources Board (CARB) since 2007... OOIDA said the petition aims to prevent what it calls “an unworkable patchwork of local and state laws” that could impede the efficient movement of goods in interstate commerce... The petition filed by the three groups argues that such “port registries” violates Section 209(c) of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAAA) resulting in a regulatory regime that affects the price, route, or service offered by motor carriers... The petition also requests a determination that additional identification requirements imposed through the use of registries are prohibited by Section 4306 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)...
