B.C. truckers say proposed changes to licensing system could lead to job losses "It will cut my business in half" — Tom Johnson, owner of Delta-based Kimberly Transport B.C. container truck operators are worried that licensing changes proposed by the Office of the B.C. Container Trucking Commissioner will hurt small and medium-sized companies that move goods to and from the Port of Vancouver.   Truck companies must be licensed to gain access to the port. Trucks with licences, or tags, often do a short-haul run with the container to a warehouse – which is called #drayage. To save on costs, many of the licensed companies will then get so-called “shadow” companies, whose trucks are not licensed, to move containers on long-haul trips.   #BC #trucking #redtape #imports #VancouverPort https://lnkd.in/gMxigewv

But an experienced driver knows how to handle such moments.

Maritime Fact: Ever wonder why there’s so much traffic on our island? Puerto Rico is among the top countries with the highest number of cars per capita, as per census conducted by The World Factbook. This impressive statistic highlights the importance of car carriers in ensuring that our island’s automotive needs are met efficiently. Keep those wheels coming! Car Carriers Operations, also known as RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels, are designed to transport vehicles efficiently and safely. These vessels have built-in ramps that allow cars, trucks, and other wheeled cargo to be driven directly on and off the vessel, making the loading and unloading process fast and seamless. Today’s car carriers can handle thousands of vehicles at a time, playing a crucial role in the automotive supply chain. Puerto Rico Terminals appreciates the support from our car carriers in allowing us to work their vessel operations efficiently and safely on the island. #CarImports #CarCarriers #PuertoRicoTerminals #TerminalOperator
