Port Teamsters delivered copies of the Port Truckers Bill of Rights to port administrators in New Orleans and Portland, Oregon. Throw in tolls, bobtail insurance, meals, tags, highway use fees and Thomas' expenses outstrip his income as a port container hauler. Truck stops can raise the price of food. Garages can raise their hourly rates.
Oil companies can raise the price of fuel.
Everybody can raise their rates. But I can't.
