Truckload carrier, port officials settle dispute over Clean Trucks grant money
Swift Transportation, the nation’s largest truckload carrier, will pay $4 million to the Port of Los Angeles to settle a dispute related to the port’s clean trucks program.
The port claims Phoenix-based Swift failed to live up to the requirements of a truck purchasing agreement, according to a report from the DailyBreeze.com. The port gave Swift more than $11.8 million to purchase nearly 600 trucks, but many of those trucks did not make a required 150 trips to the port each year.
The DailyBreeze.com reports the Port of Los Angeles granted $44 million to 56 motor carriers to purchase trucks through its Clean Trucks Program.
