A Copperbelt road freight issue that was seemingly resolved in December has reemerged, causing tempers to flare once again and posing significant risk to transporters, their assets, cargo and cross-border drivers.
According to the Transit Assistance Bureau Transist, mandatory scanning of trucks was quietly re-introduced on Wednesday, January 21.
When the US100-per-scan requirement was first introduced in December, it led to strong opposition from drivers citing exorbitant costs and severe congestion, says Transist chief executive, Mike Fitzmaurice.
