Drivers told Jo24 that the measures taken by
the authorities on the Jaber Border crossing have caused not only delays, but
losses of income. They called for the inspections to be sped up so goods can
enter Jordan before they expire.
Deputy President of the
Truck Owners Syndicate Nael Al-Thiabat, indicated that work hours are the reason why trucks are stuck
at the borders, adding there should be more inspectors and security staff, with
working hours needing to increase to allow the highest possible number of
trucks into the Kingdom.
He said authorities have been tightening the inspection
measures ever since 14 trucks were found carrying narcotics.
