What trucks are eligible for replacement as "frequent" and "semi-frequent" users?
Currently, the "frequent" and "semi-frequent" drivers are defined as making at least 3.5 trips per 7 day week to the Port. However, eligibility requirements may be modified in the future to ensure a sufficient number of trucks are replaced, though trucks with more trips to the Port will have priority.
