Vehicle Shippers in New York State

Transport drivers in the business of controlling car shipping prices out on the transport roads and highways of New York state might have noticed new reflective pavement striping on the New York state thruway. The New York State Thruway Authority has implemented this new reflective pavement striping, called Recess Triple Drop, in order to make road markings more visible in all lighting and weather conditions, according to the agency.

This new reflective pavement marking system car transport drivers see as they travel down the New York state thruway uses ceramic elements that are mixed with various sized glass beads and then applied onto a recessed epoxy base to provide high reflectivity, according to the engineer who designed this system and the New York State Thruway Authority. This new system is also able to resist plow blades that scrap the surface of the thruway during the winter months, according to the agency, and won't be damaged by snow removal services, so hopefully it will save lives and money during the miles ahead.

Presently, this new reflective pavement striping has only been applied to the New York thruway, according to the New York State Thruway Authority, but plans at present call for this new system of reflective highway markings to be added to about 350 miles of pavement along the New York thruway during the miles ahead on the transport roads and highways of the United States of America. Good news for car transport service firms and drivers that have noticed the problem of snow removal services scraping highway marking off of transport roads of the New York thruway in the past.

Car Haulers in Connecticut

Transport drivers and car shipping firms planning on providing transport services in the beautiful American state of Connecticut during the miles ahead will be interested in the news that transport drivers operating in Connecticut have asked for a study to be conducted on the use of corrosive de-icers on the roads and highways of the state of Connecticut. The lawmakers in Connecticut will be listening to testimony on a bill on the use of de-icers on the transport roads and highways of the state in the days ahead. The Motor Transport Association of Connecticut thinks it would be a good idea for the Department of Transportation commissioner to start a study into the corrosive effects of the mixture of liquid calcium chloride and salt that was first used on the vehicle transport roads and highways of Connecticut during the winter months of 2006 and 2007, according to sources.

Sources close to the transport drivers asking for this study indicate that several transport drivers are planning on showing up for a planned public meeting on this affair with damaged truck parts to show people that will be on hand the kind of damage this practice can do to a heavy-duty transport truck used for express auto transport on the roads and highways of the state of Connecticut.

The state of Connecticut was one of the last states to switch over from using a sand/salt mix to a salt/chemical mixture, according to sources at the Department of Transport, and the agency is pleased with the results of the change, so far, and few complaints have been received about the use of liquid calcium chloride and salt on the transport roads of the nation.

Vehicle Shippers in Texas

National car transport drivers out on the transport roads and highways of the beautiful American state of Texas on a daily basis that like to stop at TravelCenters of America locations along their transport route will be interested in the latest TravelCenters of America news. TravelCenters of America has bought Willie's Place in Carl's Corner, Texas after a recent auction, for $6.4 million that's probably a good investment considering the amenities on hand at the location and recent history of the location, according to transport industry experts and some drivers in the business of controlling car shipping prices out on the transport roads and highways of Texas on a daily basis during the last few miles.

Willie's Place is named after legendary country singer Willie Nelson and includes a truckstop and entertainment complex located on 15 acres of land just off of I-35 that officially opened for business back in 2009. Located on site are 12 fueling lanes for car transport service vehicles to use, two restaurants to eat in, a convenience store, saloon, gift shop and 500-seat theater with live music to enjoy during down time. You'll also find friendly people on site to help you and provide you with everything you need to take care of all of your needs and help get you back out on the road moving vehicles to destination on time and budget.

There hasn't been any announcement by TravelCenters of America about any specifics concerning Willie's Place and any changes that might be coming down the highway during the miles ahead for the newest location for this company. We certainly expect to hear more during the days and weeks ahead about any changes that the company might be thinking about making to the location. Hopefully, they enhance the services and environment on hand for transport drivers that stop in and this newest location begins making the profit it was always expected to make.

Express Auto Transport on Safe Highways

National transport firms car shipping to destination on time and budget for a living will be interested in the latest news concerning the current highway program. Sources in the transport industry of the United States of America indicate that Congress has just passed another extension of the current highway program until the end of the fiscal year, which is September 30, according to vehicle transport industry experts and White House sources. This is also the seventh short-term extension of the current highway program, according to the same sources, since the current highway program expired in September 2009.

The Senate has apparently okayed this idea and sent the documents onto President Obama, who is expected to put his signature on the documents at some point during the days ahead. The lack of commitment by the current administration to a multi-year plan for improving the transport roads and highways of the United States of America during recent times has created some uncertainty in sectors of the transport industry and car haulers, of late. This could be slowing down investment by transport firms, according to some sources, and could contribute to a slowdown in transport activities in some states during the weeks and months ahead.

Sources in the White House have also indicated recently that the administration has proposed a bold six-year reauthorization plan that envisions increasing investment in the transport infrastructure of the country and the creation of a $30 billion National Infrastructure Bank. An interesting idea that certainly shows promise, but we certainly have a few things to work out financially, before this idea could become reality. We`ll watch and see how this drama unfolds during the miles ahead and the route the administration finally decides to take in the desire for a new highway program.
