Trucks already pay a significant cost on bridge tolls. Tolls will be dropped significantly at night, which is when trucks make most deliveries. It is unlikely to increase cost of goods.
- busterarm 3y agoI lived in NYC for 35 years and most trucks do not make their deliveries at night.

In a NYC pilot program with receiving companies, carriers, and truck drivers; some participants implementing the off-hour policy at a number of their locations and it went fairly well.
- busterarm 3y agoUSPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL and LaserShip won't do it. Home Depot, PC Richards and other appliance and furniture delivery companies won't do it either. Moving companies won't do it because residential buildings won't let them. That's a pretty large amount of your truck traffic right there.
