Truck traffic in Los Angeles-Long Beach was down considerably Wednesday morning as the ports launched their clean-trucks programs to reduce pollution in the harbor area.
On a positive note, marine terminal operators turned away very few trucks for not having port-issued stickers. Beginning Wednesday, all motor carriers serving the ports must have stickers on their trucks showing that the companies have signed concession agreements with the ports.
Motor carriers heeded the ports’ warnings and only sent trucks with stickers to the harbor.
The bad news is that truck traffic was down at most of the terminals. APM Terminals, the operator for Maersk Inc., reported truck volume down 25 to 35 percent on the morning shift. Some terminals reported even steeper drops in truck traffic.
