Truckers coalition opposes portions of the Clean Air Action Plan
By SwizStick • Aug 13th, 2007 • Category: QuickNews, SeafreightHere at 3plwire we’ve commented on the Clean Air Action Plan before and the adverse affect it could have on the Southern California drayage industry (read here and here). Via Logistics Today, there’s a new report on a truckers coalition fighting the aspects of the Clean Air Action Plan that would affect their industry:
Calling themselves the Harbor Truckers for a Sustainable Future (HTSF), the group is made up of short-haul drayage companies and independent owner-operators who feel threatened by the San Pedro Bay Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) adopted by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in November 2006.
———————————————–
HTSF feels that the Truck Replacement Plan will force more than 16,000 independent truckers to give up their trucks and become employees of a small number of larger trucking firms who will be recognized as port concessionaires. The organization also says that more than 1,300 small drayage carriers will go out of business.
