There's good news on the horizon for car transport service providers that ship vehicles to destination in the United States of America that have been hoping for a little break in their taxes to help them in their planned purchase of a new transport implementing the latest carbon reducing technology. This week a coalition of transport professionals will be meeting at the White House to talk about their push for tax breaks for transport drivers that want to purchase new trucks with the latest technology to help them reduce the carbon wheel-print of their transport services.
Sources close to this news indicate that things got rolling when the American Truck Dealers, the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, the Engine Manufacturers Association, National Truck Equipment Association and other parties decided to send a letter to the administration calling for a short-term investment credit of 10 percent on the purchase of new Class 8 trucks equipped with EPA 2010-certified engines. This has apparently resulted in the Obama administration sending an invitation to the group to meet this week to discuss their proposals. We'll have to wait and see what news comes out of this meeting, before we can comment, but this news is definitely a reason for car haulers to smile a little.
Hopefully this meeting between the administration and this coalition comes up with solutions that make it easier for vehicle transport professionals to purchase new transport vehicles utilizing the latest carbon reducing and fuel saving technologies. This would definitely help take the transport industry of America further down the road to reducing its carbon wheel-print and put an even bigger smile on the faces of transport drivers across America.

New Rest Areas for Vehicle Shippers in Iowa
American transport professionals conducting express auto transport in Iowa will be interested in the announcement by the Iowa Department of Transportation that work on the reconstruction of two rest areas along Interstate 35 in Polk County will begin in the future. These rest areas are going to replace existing rest areas north of the First Street interchange, according to sources at the agency, and will be located at milepost 99, which is about halfway between the Elkhart and Iowa 210 interchanges. These particular rest areas had to be closed and replaced due to the construction of an interchange at I-35 and 36th Street, near Ankeny.
Professionals conduct enclosed auto transport for customers that need to travel through Iowa in the days and months ahead in the century of the environment will certainly want to make note of this news. The Iowa Department of Transportation doesn't expect to begin work on the new rest areas until sometime in 2012, so until then the existing ones will have to do, but at least we can look forward to some new facilities for weary road travelers as we travel further down the transport roads of the United States of America. They'll also have to go through the process of obtaining the necessary environmental and archaeological clearances required, before work can begin on the new rest areas they have in the plans, and according to sources they still need to obtain the right of way they need to allow the work to go forward to completion. One thing is for sure the job of enclosed car shipping is going to probably be a more comfortable task to accomplish in Iowa in the future, once they get the new rest areas they have planned finished, and in operation.

Car Hauling Engine Plant Will Increase Production
American car transport service providers will be glad to hear that production at Paccar's new engine plant in Columbus, Miss. will be increased in the days and months ahead in the century of the environment. They don't expect to start increasing production at this engine plant until sometime near the end of 2010, but at least this means that Americans are currently being hired to take care of the increase in the production of 12.9-liter and 9.2-liter diesel engines for Kenworth, DAF and Peterbilt trucks. Sources indicate that at present there are about 90 workers going through a group training program designed to prepare them for their new job and get them up to speed before they start assembling engines. Sources also indicate that Paccar might even need to hire more workers to handle the production of engines at this engine plant, but at present they haven't made any firm announcements on the final number of Americans that will be going to work at this plant in the days ahead.
This particular Paccar plant is located just north of the Golden Triangle Regional Airport near Columbus, and according to reports from around the car shipping industry of the United States of America, workers at the plant have been installing equipment and running diagnostic tests to make sure the equipment will be ready to begin engine production when the time comes.
This is great news for American auto shipping professionals and the transport industry in the United States in general. Hopefully, this news is just the first of many announcements that Paccar will make in the months ahead that will result in more Americans being put to work producing engines for the heavy-duty transports of the world.

Enclosed Auto Transport & American Rest Stops
American car haulers providing transport services for customers that regularly use the rest areas along the transport highways and roads of the United States of America will be happy to hear that state officials around America are seeking to amend a 1956 federal law that bans the commercialization of public rest areas. The individuals that would like to see this federal law amended believe that this law doesn't provide states with the flexibility they need to allow them to properly fund the rest areas around the United States. This could be the state of affairs according to many professionals around America as a recently conducted survey by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials reported that at least five states in the United States are facing numerous financial challenges keeping rest areas open.
This news will certainly make American firms providing excellent auto shipping rates to customers that need to have vehicles transported to destination in the United States of America and around the world smile a little when they read it. It might be time to let the private business sector of the United States see what they can do about keeping the costs of maintaining American rest stops under control and at a level that will allow the rest stops of America to reopen and stay open to business in the days and months ahead in the century of the environment.
It appears that there's plenty of desire to see America take a look at this possibility in the future and hopefully this idea turns out to be the solution that keeps rest stops in the United States open for business. This would improve things for all American vehicle shippers and make the business of taking cars to destination in the United States a much more comfortable task.

Reducing the Cost of Car Hauling
Car transport companies that have spending time and money repairing aged or damage fuel tanks should take a look at the possible money-saving benefits of Paccar Parts TRP fuel tanks. Available for various makes of transport vehicles, including Freightliner, International, Mack, Sterling, Volvo, Kenworth, Peterbilt and Western Star, TRP fuel tanks are also available in a host of fuel sizes, including 50 to 150 gallon applications, and a variety of diameters, from 23 to 26 inches. Paccar Parts indicates that TRP fuel tanks are made by an ISO-certified manufacturer of fuel tanks that uses the same standard of thickness and grade of aluminum required in OEM manufacturing and have been treated with an acid etch they claim will provide a consistent and uniform finish on TRP fuel tanks implemented by American transport firms.
Paccar Parts has also indicated that TRP fuel tanks have gone through drop tests to verify they can withstand the forces involved using the same rigorous standards required that OEM fuel tanks are put through. Available with filler necks in the right, left and center position, you can find TRP fuel tanks for your car carriers at authorized Kenworth and Peterbilt parts and service distribution centers around the United States of America, and they even include a 24-month warranty that should make you smile.
The truth of the claims by Paccar Parts still needs to be verified, but anything to help firms reduce the car shipping prices of transport services is going to be something companies will certainly want to at least take a look at. Once firms have had a chance to take a look at the claims of Paccar Parts, we'll have a better idea if TRP fuel tanks can actually help American firms reduce the costs associated with repairing aged or damage fuel tanks.

Sources also indicate that the letter oulined the challenges on the road ahead for the transportation design and construction industry of the United States of America in the century of the environment and the need to continue to improve the transportation infrastructure of the United States beyond the outstanding improvements made by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act.
The President of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association urging President Obama to make a $500 billion revitalization plan for the transport infrastructure of America a priority probably isn't causing a lot of surprise in the car shipping professionals of America. Still, this idea is one that needs to be a reality in the days ahead, if we are to keep cars in America moving to destination in an efficient, reliable and cost-effective manner, so we can certainly expect to hear some more good news on this subject, in the days ahead in the century of the environment. The question could in fact be how much money we end up investing in the transportation infrastructure of the United States of American in the years ahead in the century of the environment?

Improving the Safety of Car Transport in America
American car transport will be happy to hear that it could soon be mandatory for all heavy-duty highway vehicle transport on the roads of the United States to use stability control systems. The National Transportation Safety Board was in session this week and it was told by Nathaniel Beuse, director of crash avoidance standards at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that the agency expects to complete its studies on the possible benefits of making stability control technology on the auto transportation vehicles of the United States of America mandatory equipment by the end of 2010. Great news for car movers conducting car shipping duties on the transport roads of continental America and according to many transport professionals a definite safety improvement.
The studies are being conducted in order to help verify the National Transportation Safety Board's belief that mandatory use of stability control systems in the transport vehicles of America could prevent as many as 3,500 rollover-related accidents and save the lives of as many as 100 Americans in the years ahead in the century of the environment. In fact, recent research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the University of Michigan indicates that the use of stability control systems in the vehicle transport of America could save as many as 106 American lives and 4,400 injuries, according to sources. They also indicate that while transport vehicle rollovers are only present in about 13 percent of heavy-duty transport vehicle fatal accidents on the roads of America, that rollovers account for about 50 percent of truck-occupant fatalities, and stability control systems could help in this area of safety.

Car Transporters Make a Note!
Car shipping professionals conducting auto shipping duties on the roads and highways of the United States of America will be glad to hear the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance has found a leader to act as official executive director of this North America umbrella group of highway enforcement agencies. This means the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance has the leader it needs to drive forward to its strategic goals and mission of promoting commercial motor vehicle safety and security by providing leadership to enforcement, industry and policy makers in the American auto transport industry in the years ahead in the century of the environment in the United States of America.
Who will be the new executive director of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance? The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance didn't go far in their search and they have decided to stay in the fold by keeping Stephen Keppler in the role. Stephen has actually been doing the job as acting executive director for about a year now, according to sources, and he must be doing a good job, as they have decided they want him to continue in this role as the agency heads into a critical time in its history. Good news for Stephen, the car hauling industry of the United States and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, and now they can get back to work on monitoring and enforcing truck highway safety and proposing and implementing new legislation designed to improve the safety of transport vehicles on the roads of America and save the lives of American drivers.
This news probably means things will just continue as they have at the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance for the past year and we can expect to see the agency begin to move forward in its goals and mission in the days and years ahead in the century of the environment. Now that Stephen has the approval of the people tasked with over looking the agency, he can start to get to work on the programs and projects the agency has planned for the future.

Car Transporters Feeling Confident
Car transporters of America are apparently feeling confident about the future as reports have auto shipping firms planning to invest hard earned profits on new transport vehicles during the next few months of the century of the environment. Sources indicate that according to the latest report from CK Commercial Vehicle Research's third quarter Fleet Sentiment Report, the Fleet Sentiment Report Buying Index increased by 90.2 during the third quarter of 2010, which is a 32 percent improvement over the numbers experienced in the second quarter of 2010, and the best numbers reported by the Fleet Sentiment Report in about two years.
What exactly did the third quarter report of CK Commercial Vehicle Research's Fleet Sentiment Report indicate? According to the results of the report, of the 51 firms polled about 45.1 percent expect to put in orders for new transport vehicles in the third quarter of 2010, a high percentage that would seem to indicate a growing confidence in the car movers of the United States of America that customers will need more cars moved in the weeks and months ahead in the century of the environment. Sources also indicate that while the numbers being experienced are still below the numbers of new transport vehicles that were bought in 2008 and 2009, this is still great news that will make auto transport professionals around the United States of America smile, and think confidently about the future.
Transport professionals looking at these numbers have indicated that it would appear that the numbers of transport vehicles that will be bought in the United States of America in the months ahead will continue to increase or stay about the same. In fact, if the volume of cars that needs to be transported continues to increase and the available transport vehicles on the sidelines available to conduct car transportation services for customers continues to go down at the same time, we might see firms invest more money in new equipment.

Computers & Americas' Car Transporters
The car transport business of the United States is rapidly becoming a computer-assisted business that is employing auto shipping professionals that are much more computer-literate than they use to be. Car movers no longer just deliver the cars and leave the paperwork to other professionals and this is certainly driving car transporters to embrace the computer technology available to help them conduct car hauling services in a more efficient, reliable and cost-effective manner a lot more in the first part of the century of the environment. This is producing a new breed of car shipping professionals that's embracing the advantages of implementing the latest computerized technologies and systems in their automobile transport business and smiling all the way to the bank.

Car Transport Welcomes First 18-Tonne Hybrid Truck
The next generation of transport vehicles conducting auto shipping services on the roads of the United States of America will be even more fuel effcient than the previous one and each generation will of course have to be tested on the car transport roads and highways of America, before they'll be accepted for use by the car movers of America. Two companies recently announced they would be partnering in a trail program designed to check the usefulness of the world's first 18-tonne hybrid transport truck that according to some sources has achieved fuel savings in the neighbourhood of 15 percent. Sources also indicate that this hybrid transort truck is powered by an electric motor and a diesel engine, which can be operated individually or in combination.
Reports surrounding this partnership indicate that the trial program is expected to run for about two years, which is a significant amount of time that should give us a great indication of the usefulness of this first hybrid 18-tonne transport truck. This certainly is going to have benefits down the road for the two companies that have partnered in this trial program to test this 18-tonne hybrid transport truck and it might help reduce the carbon wheel-print of the firm that will be implementing this new hybrid transport truck for the two year period in question. Apparently, the firms involved in this trial program understand the possible benefits down the road for them by becoming involved in this trial program, and they obviously want to try to increase the efficiency of their operations in the years ahead in the century of the environment.
The development of the first 18-tonne hybrid transport truck is certainly an event that many transport professionals were expecting to see and one whose time has certainly arrived. Hopefully, the trials go better than expected and this first 18-tonne hybrid transport vehicle is only the first of many that are created and manufactured in the years ahead that help reduce the carbon wheel-print of America's transport industry.

Maintaining a Car Transport Cooling System
Maintaining the cooling system of a car transport vehicle conducting car shipping duties on the streets and highways of the United States of America is an essential and often vital part of regular car transport maintenance that car hauling professionals should probably make part of their regular truck maintenance routine. Fortunately, the process of maintaining the cooling system of a heavy-duty transport isn't as complicated as it was twenty years ago and today there are easier options available to help automobile transport professionals maintain the cooling system of their auto shipping vehicle.
Today, car movers can implement space-age developments, like fully formulated coolants and extended-life coolants, in the battle to keep their transport vehicle running cool down the transport highways of the United States of America in the years ahead in the century of the environment. The fully formulated coolants in use today feature additives such as silicate, nitrate, borate, and phosphate to help protect the engine from things like cylinder liner pitting or cavitation corrosion, which you don't normally see in light-duty transport vehicles, according to sources in the transport industry. Extended-life coolants on the other hand use organic acids as additives rather than the traditional silicate, nitrate, borate or phosphate, which according to transport professionals has changed the coolant business significantly since its arrival in the 1990s.
Anyway you slice it, maintaining the cooling system of your auto transport vehicle is going to have significant benefits down the road and you definitely want to make sure to take care of this and make it part of your regular truck maintenance routine. Take a look at all of the products on the market and read the reviews to help you find the best coolant to help you keep your transport vehicle running cool down the roads and highways of the United States of America in the years ahead in the century of the environment. Your car transport will thank you for it in ways that will save you time and money and the possibility of actually running a little late and having to hurry to make it to destination on time.

New Car Shipping Navigation Tool
American car transport firms conducting car shipping services in the ports of the United States of America in the years ahead in the century of the environment have a new tool to help navigate to a specific point within the organization of the auto transport firm they conduct car hauling services for, once they pick up their load of cars. Telogis's new Telogis Layers is a tool that helps fleets to quickly and easily integrate any custom GIS data into their existing Telogis solutions. Based on Telogis's GeoBase geospatial mapping plaform, which enables users to search and display custom information sets in a variety of deployment scenarios and application architectures, Telogis Layers features customizable labels and symbols for each feature and layers that can be themed via any attribute. In addition, users can quickly and easily configure and tailor data points using Telogis Layers wizard-driven import process and GUI-based style editor.
Telogis Layers is going to be handy for car movers that need to transport cars to a particular location for the firm in question, rather than a location with an actual physical address that they would have to find, like a dock in an American port. Apparently users can quicly and efficiently move between different layers of information, which provides users with clear and accurate details on their final destination, to help keep them on time. Data layers are apparently stored in the Telogis Cloud, which allows them to be accessed through the Telogis Fleet platform or Telogis Mobile, whenever required. Telogis also believes that Telogis Layers allows users needing accurate and highly customizable GIS data to incorporate, categorize and label a variety of data sets in a very user-friendly and straightforward manner that makes this system an essential tool for transport professionals.
