Revisit truck ban after truckers speak out

Council in Minnesota to revisit truck ban after truckers speak out
2/13/08
Quote:
All truck drivers basically have the same philosophy when it comes to trucking: If the truck’s not moving, they aren’t making any money.
But money isn’t everything for Hutchinson, MN, trucker Jamie Marx, who lost approximately $3,000 in wages, in order to be home on Tuesday, Feb. 12, to attend a Hutchinson City Council meeting.

His financial sacrifice may ultimately benefit all truckers who live in Hutchinson because the City Council there now plans to revisit a truck parking ordinance after Marx and other truckers brought up the issue during the public comment portion of the council meeting Tuesday.
For almost an hour, Marx said he and two other Hutchinson truckers talked to the City Council about the negative financial impact the truck ordinance would have on truckers’ livelihoods.

During the meeting, the City Council agreed to put the issue of the truck parking ordinance back on their next agenda, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Feb. 26, even though they voted previously 3-1 in favor of enforcing it. The ordinance “bans tractors from parking in residential areas.” The ban also prohibits trucks weighing 9,000 pounds gross weight or more in some areas, while another provision prohibits trucks weighing 10,000 pounds or more in other areas.
