Mr.
Gellings-
You might
also investigate the Port of Beaumont, Texas. We understand they are working
with the County on such a corridor to a nearby Exxon Plant. We believe the
state of Mississippi also does the same for point to point connectors.
One of our employees that formerly worked for a shipper has indicated that
their trucker had one from Memphis, TN to New Haven, MS for heavy containers
they shipped on Osprey Line.
Hope
this information helps.
Regards,
Shawn

Subject: port-area overweight truck corridor programs
Hello,
I am trying to identify the various working models for a
port area overweight
truck corridor program. These programs
recognize the unique need for
overweight cargo drays in the vicinity of ports and use
ideas such as corridor
designation and permits to manage this
activity. The programs I have
identified to date are Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland,
CA, and Tacoma,
WA. These all follow a similar model so I am
hoping this post will lead to
other kinds of working models.
Thank you very much!
