TRUCKS' QUEUE * Philippines - This really it's one: 63 km !!
* Sorsogon - Truckers endure 63-km traffic on road leading to Matnog Port in
(Video from GMA News and Public Affairs - May 18, 2015)
-- For more than a week now, truck drivers and helpers have been stuck along a road leading to Matnog Port in Sorsogon, waiting for their turn to board roll-on roll-off vessels to their destinations. The queue had grown to a long 63 kilometers as of Tuesday, according to a report on GMA News'... The queue started when the Philippine Coast Guard suspended sea trips at Matnog Port due to the threat of recent cyclones, including Typhoon Dodong... For more than eight days, the truckers complained there was no order in their queue, with some trying to jump the line to board RORO vessels earlier... Yet another problem is the hot weather. Many of the truckers are coping by sleeping, bathing, cooking, and even washing clothes... For its part, the Coast Guard admitted a delay since the priority is for buses, light vehicles and trucks with perishable items to board ROROs...Worse, officials could not immediately say when the truck drivers' and helpers' ordeal will end...
