Automotive freight, Cash for Clunkers

Cash for Clunkers”
The new “cash for clunkers” program is giving dealers a need boost in sales. On eligible vehicles you could receive anywhere from $3,500.00 to $4,500.00 for your trade in. Not to mention other incentives given by the manufacturers. In one case a consumer received $8000.00 with trade-in and incentives.

On the other side not all auto recyclers agree with conditions set for recycling program for the destruction of the gas guzzlers. Recycler’s major income from each scrapped car is the engine and drive trains. Under the new program the dealers must replace the engine oil with a sodium silicate solution and run the engine until ruin. Many recyclers cannot fathom the idea of destroying usable parts. These parts could be used for those who cannot afford to buy a new vehicle, but still have to maintain theirs.

Also this will mean a well needed boost for the automotive freight industry. For the next few months auto carriers should see an increase in freight.
