TRUCKING COMPANIES UPSET WITH HIKES IN PA. TOLLS

A state trucking organization says the cost of driving on the Pennsylvania Toll Road is making the state uncompetitive for trucking businesses.  Rebecca Oyler, president of the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association, tells Trucking-News-dot-com that recent toll hikes only make goods more expensive for everyone.  She also says her group remains upset that the money paid to maintain the roads is diverted to other projects.  However, a spokeswoman for the turnpike says truckers appreciate the savings in time and fuel that they get from using the roadway.
