The Port of Oakland has come a long way from last summer, when harbor truckers disrupted the port through sporadic work stoppages protesting new clean-truck rules. But based on recent comments from truckers it still has plenty of work to do to improve turn times in the harbor.
Oakland, like Los Angeles-Long Beach, New York-New Jersey, Norfolk and Vancouver, Canada, has experienced growing problems over the past year with lengthy turn times and driver unrest.
