The decision was taken to prevent accidents and has been implemented since Thursday, 21 August 2014 when double-load freight trucks were stopped nationwide. <\/p>\n<p> AMET has said the measure is based on Arts. 170, 171 and 172 of Law 241-67 on Transit. <\/p>\n<p> The system helped reduce truckers&#8217; costs given the government-sanctioned truck owner monopoly. The president of the Dominican Republic Association of Industries (AIRD) Ligia Bonetti has protested the decision. <\/p>\n<p> Pujols said that a meeting is being coordinated between industry representatives and the Ministry of Public Works. Bonetti said that the surprise decision affects the companies&#8217; logistics, leading to higher costs and delays in delivery of merchandise. <\/p>\n<p> http:\/\/www.listin.com.do\/la-republica\/2014\/8\/24\/334887\/JCE-ha-cedulado-a-mas-de-dos-millones-de-ciudadanos<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vsHrWpzhhN\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/convocara-industriales-por-doble-cola\/\">Convocar\u00e1 industriales por doble cola<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"&#8220;Convocar\u00e1 industriales por doble cola&#8221; &#8212; Hoy Digital\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/convocara-industriales-por-doble-cola\/embed\/#?secret=vsHrWpzhhN\" data-secret=\"vsHrWpzhhN\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"1MmCoBgsoB\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/aird-rechaza-amet-prohiba-los-camiones-doble-cola\/\">AIRD rechaza AMET proh\u00edba los camiones doble cola<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"&#8220;AIRD rechaza AMET proh\u00edba los camiones doble cola&#8221; &#8212; Hoy Digital\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/aird-rechaza-amet-prohiba-los-camiones-doble-cola\/embed\/#?secret=1MmCoBgsoB\" data-secret=\"1MmCoBgsoB\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new head of the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) General Pablo Arturo Pujols has banned double-load freight trucks from the roads in the country&#8217;s metropolitan areas.
