Trasportiunita explains the reasons why the sector of road transport requests the recognition of the costs attributed the malfunctions of truck services that occur in ports, additional cost item opposed by the other categories of the logistics. "We ask - Giuseppe Tagnochetti clarifies - national coordinator Transport Containers - operational functionality and control and reduction of time of waiting and stopping. We have neither interest nor willingness to speculate on the inefficiency of truck services which is now chronic in ports such as Genoa, Spezia, Vado Liguria, Livorno, Marghera, nor to wage war on the terminal operators or other operators in the port supply chain. Ours application for the application of Port Fees has the objective of redistribute the costs of all disruptions more equitably that affect the haulier in port activity every day".

Tagnochetti specifies that the Port Fees actually represent a flat-rate economic measure, a sort of "minimum guaranteed", against costs incurred by that cannot be included in a system tariff that is based exclusively on a distance and not on unproductive times and that, in the practice of every day, is compressed by the overwhelming bargaining power of the commissioning.

In addition, Trasportiunita recalls that it has addressed the Authorities of the Port System the request for structured and regulators for compliance with the minimum conditions of dignity and road safety of drivers and sustainability of the accounts of road haulage companies. 'Supervisory authority system - underlines Tagnochetti - that do not monitor quality of the services rendered by port concessionaires (and that in a torical line could lead to the revocation of the concession in the event of serious non-compliance) and do not intervene when they explode congestion inside and outside the terminals, with the operational block of entire port basins".

Trasportiunita also intervenes on the new legislation introduced by the Infrastructure decree-law, criticized by the association road haulage ( of 20 May 2025), recalling that the long waits for loading and unloading generate not only unproductivity and extra costs but also A stress against the time of drivers in many cases - complaint the association - "forced" to violate rules and behaviour relating to road safety.

Hence the invitation of Transportunited to all the terminal and logistics associations to collaborate in a transparent and collaborative on the application of the updated Discipline of waiting. The association recalls that traceability and documentation of waits, stops and delays are now guaranteed by the use of the locator and the digital tachograph. Trasportiunita points out that after 90 minutes of parking while waiting for the Loading is required to pay the companies road haulage of a fee of 100 euros per hour: "the time in which the truck is forced to wait for - concludes Tagnochetti - must be paid, and cannot be subject to commercial bargains".
