I -fKfer Companies Complain
A jjJt Unlicensed Truck*
Paiges that the $25 tor
hire truck licenses in Kodiak
••st too much and licensed
trxa^Kr companies receive
Bttte benefit and no protection
froin non-licensed trucks were
nfcvue last Monday by Pat
Lyncn and Milton Smith, local
transier company owners.
The city council heard the
•wnplaints of the two transfer
B*en during the regular meet- j
mg.
Smith told the council that
privately owned trucks are
tompeting with the licensed
transfer vehicles. “They are I
hauling for free, the drivers ]
say, when you ask them to see I
their license. Such business j
hurts the licensed truckers, ”j
Smith said.
Lynch said, “The man hold
ing a $10 license gets his truck
loaded before we do and we
pay $25 for a for-hire license
and then sit on the dock wait
ing for the $10 trucks to get ■
loaded.”
The council indicated it\
would ask the police com
mittee to investigate the com
plaints and present a report
and recommendation at a
future meeting.
Further discussion of the
matter resulted in a tentative
decision to permit licensed
transfer vehicles to receive
priority in loading freight.
However, the decision was not
inal but depends on the report
•f the police committee.
The council discussed the
purchase of a new fire engine
for the city. Ray Shannon,
