The National Business Council (Conep) and the National Federation of Dominican Transportation (Fenatrado) have agreed to join forces and work towards the reorganization of the transportation system in the country in order to make it more efficient and modern. Fenatrado is the largest association of owners of trucks in the country that has used forceful ways to impose monopolies on the transporting of cargo by land, making this one of the most costly in the region.
A commission made up by Pedro Brache and Cesar Dargam, the president and executive vice president of the Conep, together with others of the Conep board of directors, met with Ricardo de los Santos, the head of Fenatrado at the Fenatrado headquarters.
De los Santos told reporters from the Diario Libre: “We feel that it is time to join forces to organize freight hauling into a modern and efficient system. These are elements that are essential to the country’s development and will assist in our competitiveness and economy.” Brache, in turn, highlighted that the National Transport Institute (Intrant) is now in the process of working out the rules and regulations to implement the new Transport Law 63-17 that will affect all aspects of ground transport.
