One of the big challenges to the trucking industry is a plan here in Pennsylvania to charge tolls on some of the bridges throughout the state. The money raised by the tolls would reimburse PennDOT which would pay private contractors to repair and maintain bridges for 20 to 30 years. He tells Larry and Kevin on the Newsradio KDKA morning show that it would have even a greater effect on the trucking companies. "We can't pass along the cost of the toll to our customers directly, so basically the trucking companies would have to eat that cost. One bridge tolled that we have to cross would probably cost one truck $5,000 a year," he said.
