Governor Ned Lamont is asking state lawmakers to pass a ‘trucks only’ toll plan as soon as they can and the Connecticut trucking industry is not happy about it. With 62% of the freight in Connecticut traveling within the state these ‘truck only’ tolls will harm the economy. One trucking company stated that they will have to add a surcharge of more than $100 to their loads to compensate for the tolls. These extra charges will be passed on to the local consumers. The Governor is asking for these tolls to be addressed at the Special Legislative Session during the week of December 16 but the local trucking industry will fight back.
