I've only hauled a few HVCC a year for 2006 and 2007, none 2008, and i think, the year 2007, the day pass started, not really sure, but, prior to Oct 1 2008 the day pass was paid by the shipper. Now there this at the Ports Begining Oct. 1, 2008.

2.1 Concession Fees
2.1.1 (A one time Concession fee of $2500) will be assessed to the Concessionaire.
The Concession fee shall be collected at the time of submission of the
Concession Application.
2.1.2 For each Permitted Truck, (an annual fee of $100) will be assessed to the
Concessionaire (Annual Truck Fees). The Annual Truck Fees will be collected (i)
within 30 days of the Effective Date of this Concession for Permitted Trucks
registered as of the Effective Date, (ii) within 30 days of registration of additional
Permitted Trucks into the Drayage Truck Registry, and (iii) on the annual
anniversary date that each Permitted Truck was registered in the Drayage Truck
Registry (unless the Permitted Truck was registered prior to October 1, 2008 in
which case its anniversary date shall be October 1). Trucks for which an annual
fee has been paid for a particular year may be registered under multiple Port of
Los Angeles Concessions without the payment of any additional annual fee of
that year.
Landline said long haul trucks can enter the ports 12 times annually, ($100 a pop) until they roll out a permanent day pass plan in Jan 2009.
The commission said they would hold a public hearing on all the port plans, but any resolution will take until Jan. 22, 2010.
Since they did'nt listen to the truckers before,then why would they resolve anything.
OOIDA sent me a survey, they're going to try something, or at least look busy.
The Federal Maritime is investigating, prolly to see if they can squeeze some heavy money out of the ports.
Seems like everywhere is a freakin race to socialism and Big Government.
