LOS ANGELES - A trade group representing nationwide truckers has filed a lawsuit claiming plans to clean up the air around the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will impede the work of truckers.

In the suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court, the American Trucking Associations says it does not oppose effort to clean up the air, but is concerned that other measures in the plans violate federal laws by unfairly regulating prices, routes and services.

Truckers must agree to the plans to retain access to the ports after Oct. 1.

The association wants the court to permanently restrict the plans from being put into place.
