Hearing on truck industry canceled

AUGUSTA, Maine — A public hearing scheduled to discuss changes in regulations concerning Maine’s trucking industry has been canceled.
The hearing was scheduled for 5 p.m. today at the Maine Department of Public Safety to hear comments on amendments to the Maine Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
The meeting was canceled because the governor wanted to let the situation stabilize before setting any changes in motion.
"Maine’s trucking industry is under great pressure right now with diesel fuel prices reaching record highs," Gov. John E. Baldacci said. "We need to make sure that the industry is stabilized before we start changing the rules on them. High diesel prices have created a crisis. Now is not the time to make these changes."
