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.
