Weston LaBar is the CEO of the Harbor Trucking Association. That's the trade group that represents the drayage community in the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. 

On this week's edition of Drilling Deep, LaBar joins host John Kingston to discuss the group's recent call for the Federal Maritime Administration to step in and suspend the drayage and demurrage charges that have soared as operations at the port have backed up enormously.
