Hood Truckers Summoned to PSC Meeting in Harrisburg
More than 6,000 truckers are summoned to Harrisburg as the Public Service Commission seeks to end a fight with railroads over the pickup and delivery system. The Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association says it represents over 20 million dollars in investments and has called a meeting for April 17. The railroads seek to ship interstate freight by rail to a point and then deliver by truck, while PSC arguing for state certificates and regulation. The Interstate Commerce Commission has postponed an effective date to November 1, and railroads contend truck delivery from rail terminals can occur without state control. Richard J. Beamish, PSC counsel, warns that allowing railroads to operate without state certificates could force about 6,000 truckers under state control to lose oversight. he argues for continued trucking under state regulation.
