Disaffected by the failure of the minimum freight floor table and what they consider to be a failure of the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) to oversee the measure, truck drivers from Goiás are mobilizing to block state roads next Monday, to carry out an informal inspection. The blockades may not be limited to Goiás. In Santa Catarina, the category must meet to decide whether or not to join the movement. In addition to the mobilization of the 29th, there is a stoppage being called for November 10th. A recurring complaint from truckers is this: carriers are paying freight below the minimum floor established in the ANTT tables. If the trucker does not accept it, it goes into a sort of “blacklist” and is no longer hired. Therefore, they feel impeded from demanding their rights. Therefore, they charge a more forceful action of the ANTT. The agency, however, is still developing a full version of the minimum freight floor tables and the regulation with penalties for noncompliance. None of this is ready. There is a current table, hurriedly made to end the standstill, but the truckers themselves acknowledge that it contains errors. At the moment, the agency still collects suggestions to elaborate the penalties for noncompliance with the table. The deadline for submission of proposals ends on November 9th. Other leaders also expect to hold talks with the president-elect later this year, hoping to get him some commitment to support the category. result of the ballot box. Among the measures taken to end the strike is the subsidy to guarantee a discount of R $ 0.30 per liter of diesel. This measure ends on December 31st. However, it is not something that mobilizes the truck drivers, because the rules for calculating the minimum freight price table contemplate the transfer of changes in the price of fuel.
