Toll hike could threaten trucking firms and consumers
West Virginia Parkways Authority faced cautions from Fred Burns CEO of Burns Motor Freight Marlinton that a 60 percent toll rise would strain shippers and raise costs for Georgia Pacific loads within a 250 mile radius. Burns proposed staged increases starting 5 percent in July and urged discounts for heavy users if the Legislature funds 5 to 7 million. He noted his firm hauls about 6,000 loads annually and would see annual costs rise from 114000 to 181000 with the toll boost.
