MOC has joined with the Massachusetts
Motor Transportation Association (MMTA) in
filing an amicus in Boston Municipal Court in
order to resolve serious impediments to the
transportation of fuel oil and other petroleum
products through the city of Boston. MMTA is
a non-profit trade association comprised of
over 250 trucking companies that transport
hazardous and non-hazardous loads
statewide. MOC and MMTA are asking the
court to clarify the nexus of state, federal and
city rules regarding truck routes in-and-
around the city. MOC and MMTA maintain
that the City of Boston and the Boston Police
have overstepped their authority by stopping
cargo vehicles and issuing citations that
claim violations of hazardous material rules
and routing. "This is a very serious matter
that could have significant impact on our
industry this winter, so MOC is pleased to
join with MMTA in seeking a ruling that all
parties can live with," said MOC's Michael
Ferrante.

MOC will begin its month long travel around
the state in mid September for 9 face-to-face
meetings with Oilheat dealers, suppliers and
other industry representatives. These free
breakfast or lunch events are open to
members and non-members and will be a
great opportunity to get caught up on recent
Council activities and a chance to discuss
any other issues or concerns you may have.
Please follow the link below to register for the
meeting nearest to you.

In addition to hosting regional dealer
meetings this fall, MOC will also be hosting
NORA-funded seminars for Real Estate
professionals under the MOC Oilheat-Realty
Partnership Program. The free breakfast
seminars allow for realtors to learn more
about oilheat technology and get help selling
oil heated homes. Dealers are encouraged
to attend to help answer important questions
and form relationships with agents in their
area. Please call an MOC staff member if
you are interested in attending any of the
events listed through the link below.
