New Trucker Id is a problem

EXECUTIVES at Ventura Transfer Co. see trouble on the horizon in the form of a looming federal
Truckers
.

Like most companies that serve the nation's largest port complex, employees of the Long Beach-based motor carrier will be required to obtain

credentials in the next few months in order to enter port grounds. But there is widespread concern the sign-up process is not moving forward fast enough.

Only a handful of Ventura Transfer's 30 truck drivers have applied for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential program, which begins Sept. 25. More worrisome is the fact that the motor carrier is typical of the companies operating at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Only about one in six of the estimated 100,000 affected workers have signed up- a particularly troubling statistic for the trucking industry, which could lose thousands of drivers. Many could be undocumented workers.
