NY truckers rally, meet with lawmakers about diesel price, truck ban

Quote:

Car horns honked in support of the more than 50 trucks spread among three traffic lanes on Interstate 87 in upstate New York Thursday, rallying to decry rising fuel prices and to protest against a plan that would ban heavy-duty trucks from certain highways.

The trucks convoyed for four miles to the town of Wilton.
Following the convoy, truckers and several state politicians gathered for a roundtable discussion at a Wilton truck stop. Both groups decried Gov. David Paterson’s plan to ban trucks from state and county highways. They also discussed skyrocketing diesel prices and oil company profits. Truckers explained to lawmakers the multiple taxes New York truckers pay to operate, including the ton-mile tax.
Lawmakers were shocked.
