Truckers Not Happy With California Port Air Quality Ruling

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 10:36:09 AM
   I posted on this story the other day, and it has the trucking industry bent out of shape. Unfortunantly for the American Trucking Association, the Port Authority simply does not care; and as a matter of fact, it is the trucks that are to blame.
 
"Truck pollution is a serious threat to public health, including the health of truck drivers," said Richard D. Steinke, executive director of the Port of Long Beach. "We need to move forward without delay."
 
Better be careful how they (port authority) address this issue...no trucks no products...period.
Delivering Economic Value: Trucking is the driving force behind the nation's economy moving 11 billion tons of freight each year.  Trucks deliver 100 percent of all consumer products and 70 percent of all freight tonnage; 80 percent of U.S. communities receive their goods exclusively by truck.
   That is everything you buy, eat, or otherwise need to survive in this world.
