* Virginia - ATA asks Supreme Court to toss part of port’s Clean Trucks Program
Arlington,VA,USA -Land Line, by Deborah Whistler -Dec 28, 2011: -- The American Trucking Assns. filed a petition late last week asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider overturning several aspects of the Port of Los Angeles’ version of the Clean Trucks Program... ATA seeks to toss out off-street parking limits, maintenance and security provisions, and a mandate that freight haulers show financial capability to do business at the port... The move comes on the heels of an ATA victory in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that tossed out a controversial provision of the Clean Trucks Program that would have mandated that all port truckers be company employees, banning use of owner-operators for port hauling operations... However, the three-judge appeals panel ruled 2-1 in favor of allowing the port to impose the less controversial elements contained in the program, which ATA is asking the Supreme Court to review. The Port of Los Angeles has until the end of January to respond to ATA’s request... If the nation’s highest court takes the case, it could be heard by next fall...
