Members of the National Confederation of Truck Owners (CNDC) parked more than 500 rigs in the Chilean capital of Santiago September 2 to back up their demands for relief. The owner-operators called on the government to cut taxes on diesel fuel by half. As of September 9, the social democratic government had offered a 30 percent cut. As we go to press, the truckers were planning a mass meeting to vote on a proposal to hold a strike in October. More than 90 percent of freight in the country is moved over the roads.
