See my suggestion below (mistakenly submitted as an answer!)

I think the tax situation sort of makes it clearer (?)

Suggest phoning someone in the field might give best clarification!

I doubt it is legal terminology so much as transport industry jargon — and possibly US at that.

@Tony I also think it means passthrough, but in what sense? Is it legal terminology?
Tony M Dec 2, 2012:
PSTHR I did find one reference that seemed to suggest that this might stand for 'passthrough' — do you think this might fit in your context?
