Trucking Group Warns NY/NJ on Clean-Truck Plan

Quote:

An American Trucking Associations executive said New York and New Jersey politicians will regret endorsing Los Angeles-style clean-truck regulations that he said represent a thinly disguised effort to encourage driver unionization.

“Why in God’s name would you get yourself involved with Los Angeles on an issue that has clearly been misrepresented as an environmental and safety issue?” Curtis Whalen, executive director of the ATA’s Intermodal Motor Carriers Conference, said at the annual New York-New Jersey Port Industry Day.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Newark Mayor Cory Booker said this month that they support a clean-truck program modeled after the controversial one in Los Angeles, where the port wants to ban owner-operators and require the use of employee drivers. The mayors also said they support an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act to grant port authorities regulatory authority over harbor trucking.
