Summersville, W.Va., Tire Hauler Works as Paperwork Lags.
Byline: Fanny Seiler
Sep. 27--A Summersville company has been hauling waste tires statewide for the Division of Highways since August while its application for a motor carrier certificate is pending in the Public Service Commission.
West Virginia Tire Disposal Inc. filed an application Feb. 14 for a certificate to operate in all 55 counties as a common carrier in the transportation of waste tires.
An administrative law judge issued a "recommended decision" to the PSC on Sept. 6 that would grant the certificate in 43 counties, but opponents and West Virginia Tire Disposal filed exceptions and prevented the decision from becoming a PSC order. Parties had until Sept. 26 to file exceptions.
Thornton Cooper, a PSC lawyer, said administrative law judges' recommended decisions don't have any legal force. Whether the company had the legal right to haul the waste tires is open for debate.
