monthly reservation buffervancouversun

B.C. container truck drivers say they want changes to the port reservation system.
They want carriers to receive a “ monthly reservation buffer” that allows them to be late for a certain number of reservations due to factors such as traffic or weather.
The association is calling on the port authority to step in and ensure trucking companies and customers are being treated fairly.
A spokesman for one of Metro Vancouver's two main container terminals said reservation system is more than fair to truckers.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority established the “terminal gate efficiency fee program” in 2014 .
It established the program so truck drivers are compensated by terminals when wait times exceed 90 minutes .
Port Transportation Association wants a monthly reservation buffer to make the system more fair.
The association also wants more transparency and better communication from terminals about delays and cancellations in advance.
