Earnings and Truck Financing Among Port Owner Operators

METRANS Seminar - Seminars are held on Wednesdays, over the lunch hour, in Lewis Hall. Bring your lunch if you like. Speaker: Dr. Kristen MonacoProfessor, Department of Economics, California State University Long BeachABSTRACT: Using data from two data sets of truck drivers working at the San Pedro ports, we analyze wages and working conditions of drivers. We extend a prior study of port drivers by examining driver expenses in detail and use this to infer the likely costs of the truck replacement and retrofitting program proposed by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.For more information, please contact Hossein Ataei "ataei@usc.edu** Bring a bag lunch.
