Independent truckers ended a nine-day blockade of depots serving Chile’s San Antonio port on November 6 after securing an 8% increase in transport tariffs. The deal also links future trucking-rate updates to an official cost index and diesel prices, while more than 3,000 containers had been held up on each side of the gate as the cherry export season began.
