Truckers Demand Reforms Highlight Ohio Turnpike Blockade
Truckers who blocked the Ohio Turnpike for 36 hours pressed a slate of demands to be met in return for ending the protest. They seek one license plate for all states, a 35.9 cent diesel cap, 65 mph speed limit on federal roads, 80,000 pound gross weight, higher freight rates, fuel tax use for highways, citizen band radios in cabs, priority on fuel, and a halt to fuel exports. The ICC moved to allow pass through of higher fuel costs to shippers, with federal review of allocations promised. Public tension eases but discontent persists.
