KLANG: Hundreds of container truck drivers continued with their protest to highlight alleged exorbitant depot gate charges and delays that have affected their earnings.
They had started gathering outside Northport in Bandar Sultan Sulaiman at 10am and said they would remain there until 8pm.
On Wednesday, thousands had stopped transporting goods as they held their protest for two hours in Northport and Westport.

Driver S. Rayan, 32, said they will remain until 8pm until their issues were resolved.
"We are not here to obstruct traffic or cause chaos. We just want someone to look into our problems," he told reporters.
The drivers, unrepresented by any groups, are protesting against allegedly exorbitant depot gate charges and delays they endured at container depots near Northport and Westport.
