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.

So-Cal Training for Enclosed Auto Transport

Transport drivers in the auto shipping business that have previously taken Hendrickson's So-Cal training sessions will be interested in the news that the company has scheduled its next round of technical suspension training for heavy-duty transport industry of the United States of America. This round will be the eighth edition of the Hendrickson Vehicle Suspension Institute for drivers operating car carriers to take part in and according to previous drivers that took part in the training sessions the training provided is essential to the job of delivering vehicles on time and budget as we enter the second decade of the century of the environment in the United States of America.

Two sessions will be held from April 26, 2011 though to April 29, 2011 at the Universal Technical Institute in Rancho Cucamonga, California. These two training sessions will be hands-on training covering the Primaax and Haulmaax suspensions as well as the new Composilite SC lift axle, according to Hendrickson. The feedback on these training programs has also been good, according to Hendrickson, and they intend on training as many technicians during the miles ahead in America in order to help keep transport vehicles in the enclosed car shipping business on the roads and moving to destination on time and budget.

Over 270 transport technicians from around North America took part in the previous seven editions of the HVSI program, according to sources, in training sessions that took part in Chicago, Canton, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary. They expect even more to show up for training this time and if your technicians need training in suspensions for heavy-duty transport vehicles you should probably take part.

Ship Cars in a Hino Truck

Auto transport services in the United States of America on hand for the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis this week will be taking a look at the first U.S. diesel-electric Class 4-5 Class Hybrid Hino Trucks. Hino Trucks will now offer the 155 model in a diesel configuration in the Class 4 market and the first ever United States Class 4 diesel-electric hybrid model, called the 155h, according to the people over at Hino Trucks. In the Class 5 market used by national vehicle shipping services Hino Trucks now offers the diesel-powered 195 model and the 195h diesel-electric hybrid trucks, exciting additions to the current line of Hino Trucks, according to company officials and some transport drivers that have driven a Hino truck before.

These Hino Trucks come with a proven 5-liter Hino J0 5E Series engine rated at 210 horsepower and 440 lb ft of torque, along with the Aisin A465 6-speed automatic transmission and features designed and engineered to make North American truck drivers smile, according to Hino Trucks.

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.

Enclosed Auto Transport Hours of Service

Transport firms and auto shipping drivers out on the transport roads and highways of the nation taking cars to destination on time and budget will be interested in the latest news concerning the United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Hours-Of-Service proposal. A bipartisan group of American Congressmen and Senators recently called for the Obama administration to abandon current plans for the controversial Hours-Of-Service proposal. Instead, the group wants to current administration to keep the current safety rules concerning the Hours-Of-Service being implemented by car transport companies in America, since according to this group the current rules are working fine, and there's currently no need to make changes.

According to this group, since the current rules were put in place seven years ago, the transportation industry's safety performance has improved at a very high rate. In addition, during the past seven years on the transport roads and highways of the United States of America, the number of deaths and accidents involving heavy-duty transport trucks, including car carriers, has gone down to new lows, and the trucking industry is hauling more goods than ever before.

At the same time this group points out, the proposed Hours-Of-Service changes could force firms to put more trucks on the transport roads and highways of the nation, in order to deliver the same volume of cargo. This fact would mean there would be more trucks on the roads on average and would increase the final cost of transporting goods, according to the politicians making up this bipartisan group. Definitely a possibility that the current administration should probably take a look at, before implementing the current plans to change the Hours-of-Service rules and regulations of the nation, according to some transport drivers and firms looking at this news.

Car Hauling Using Medium Duty Transports

National auto transport firms looking at the current generation of medium and heavy-duty truck dealers they deal with on a yearly basis and thinking the current generation will soon be retiring, or passing on the torch to a younger generation will be interested in the latest news concerning the development of a younger generation of dealers during the miles ahead in the United States of America. The American Truck Dealers Association has announced the start of a new program during the miles ahead aimed at developing the next generation of medium and heavy-duty truck dealers you'll be dealing with, called Next Generation ATD.

This new program is set to launch during the ATD Convention and Expo being held in Phoenix, Arizona from April 15-18, according to sources in the vehicle shipping industry of the United States of America, and will help develop a new generation of medium and heavy-duty truck dealers that will be needed during the years ahead. It will also help truck dealerships with retiring baby boomers find replacements to run their dealerships during the decades ahead in the United States of America and transport firms that ship cars for a living continue to purchase the transport vehicles they'll need in the future to deliver cars on time and budget, according to many transport experts looking at this news.

The American Trucking Association welcomes all ATD members currently transitioning ownership of a dealership to their children, or recent NADA-ATD Academy graduates in truck dealership positions to join this new program. This new program could be just the thing your truck dealership needs to make sure the transition to a younger generation is handled in an efficient way during the miles ahead.

Vehicle Shippers in California

National car transport firms and drivers operating a transport vehicle on the road and highways of the beautiful American state of California will be interested in the news that Pilot Flying J has recently announced the opening of a new travel center in Weed, California. Sources over at Pilot Flying J indicate that this new travel center has all of the amenities transport firms and drivers in the business of controlling car shipping prices expect to see when they stop in for a rest. This new Pilot Flying J travel center can be found off of Interstate 5 at Exit 745, and includes a new 9,971 square foot center with four fuel islands and eight diesel islands to keep you rolling down the road to destination on time and budget. In addition, you'll find a fine Subway restaurant available on site, and a driver's kiosk to help you get in and out and back on the road as quickly as possible, according to the people over at Pilot Flying J.

Car transport service firms and drivers out on the transport roads and highways of California that find they're in need of a little rest time can stop by and take a look at the new Pilot Flying J travel center. You can stop in and do your laundry, have a quick shower and even park in one of the 105 parking spaces available for your truck and have a rest, before getting back out on the roads of the nation taking cars to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner. You'll feel a lot better once you have a little rest, or something to eat, and the transport services you provide could even be a little safer during the long haul ahead of you.

Express Auto Transport Communication Devices

National car shipping drivers and firms that have been watching the unfolding drama concerning the use of hand-held phones by the transport industry drivers out on the highways and roads of the nation will be interested in the latest news concerning this subject. The American Trucking Association, the largest trucking group in the United States of America recently stated that they favor a proposed ban on the use of hand-held phones and related devices by vehicle transport drivers, but would like to see transport drivers use hands-free technology during the miles ahead to help deliver cars to destination on time and budget. Interesting news that will certainly get the attention of the transport drivers taking vehicles to destination in an efficient, reliable and cost-effective manner as we enter the second decade of the environment in America and the world.

The American Trucking Association also stated that they have a progressive safety agenda that calls for the safe use of technology and policies that call for laws and regulations that ban all motorists from using hand-held mobile phones while driving on the transport roads and highways of the nation. The association also reiterated its support for a ban on talking and texting while driving a vehicle, but feels that drivers should be prevented from pushing a limited number of buttons in order to initiate hands-free communication. Great news for car haulers that use hands-free communication devices while transporting cars to destination on time and budget, and news that could lead to transport drivers using more hands-free technology during the years ahead, according to many transport industry experts.

Car Carriers Driving a Kenworth

National auto shipping firms and drivers using a Kenworth truck to help keep the transport services they provide customers on time and budget during the months and years ahead in the United States of America will be interested in the latest news concerning Kenworth dealers around the country. MHC Kenworth Colorado was named the 2011 Kenworth truck dealer of the year for North America during the recently held annual Kenworth Dealer Meeting held at the PACCAR Engine Plant in Columbus, Mississippi. Great news for enclosed auto transport drivers and firms that use a Kenworth truck to make sure vehicles are delivered in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner during the miles ahead in North America.

MHC Kenworth is surely feeling proud to be awarded the 2011 Kenworth truck dealer of the year award and we can expect the people that work in this facility to be proud to be working in the number one Kenworth dealership in North America. Kenworth trucks are used in the business of enclosed car shipping on a daily basis on the transport roads and highways of America and according to the drivers operating Kenworth trucks they swear by their trucks and their ability to get the job done on time and budget. Transport firms and drivers also indicated that Kenworth trucks are the best trucks in the world, according to them, and they wouldn`t drive another brand of heavy-duty transport truck, if given the chance. A belief that will certainly make other transport firms and drivers want to take a look at what a Kenworth truck can do to help enhance the transport services they provide during the years ahead.

Car Hauling Drivers Should be Proud

Transport drivers and auto transport firms that have been paying attention to the growing number of transport drivers in the United States of America during the recent past being heralded as a North America Highway Hero for helping other people they find in trouble out on the transport roads and highways of the United States of America will be interested in the latest news concerning America's growing number of North American Highway Heroes. Goodyear is currently going through the list of transport drivers on the list of candidates for the 2011 North America Highway Hero Award and has apparently narrowed the current list down to four candidates for the award.

Over the next few weeks, journalists from around the United States will vote on which of the four candidates will finally be awarded the 2011 North America Highway Hero Award for stopping along the highway during their travels to lend a helping hand to someone in need. Vehicle shipping drivers on hand for the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky on March 31 will get a chance during the event to find out which of these four truckers will be heralded as an American hero and finally awarded the North America Highway Hero Award for their bravery and empathy.

All four of these truckers and firms that ship cars for a living in the United States should be proud to be called a member of a fraternity that cares about the average American and all people in the world. The average trucker will stop along the road to help out anybody they see in possible trouble and the growing legion of truckers that have been recognized for being a North American Highway Hero during the past few miles makes this very apparent.

Car Transport Companies

National car transport drivers and firms that haven't had time to stop by and let the United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration know what they think of the proposed Hours-Of-Service rules and regulations coming down the transport roads of the United States during the miles ahead still have time. The United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently published a notice advising it has extended the comment period on the HOS proposal to March 4 from February 28, which means transport firms and drivers in the business of controlling car shipping prices still have time to get their comments in.

The United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has indicated the extra time is to allow the agency to review additional data and information concerning the HOS proposal. The agency at the same time also indicated it has made clerical corrections to both the preamble and the regulatory text of its original notice of proposed rulemaking on HOS requirements for the car transport service industry of America, and the transport industry as a whole, during the months and years ahead in America.

Transport drivers and firms that haven't made any comments concerning the proposed Hours-of-Service rulemaking by the United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration should immediately head down to let the agency know what they think of the proposal. This is your chance to let the agency know what you think and possibly change the direction of the FMCSA during the miles ahead.

Vehicle Shippers Looking Forward

National car shipping drivers and firms will be happy to hear the news that Daimler Trucks North America recently announced they were starting plans to add about 628 new jobs in their Mt. Holly and Gastonia North Carolina facilities during the miles ahead. At the same time as Daimler Trucks North America announced the new jobs in North Carolina, the company announced plans to hire about 1,300 new workers in total during the first half of 2011, to work in their truck and parts manufacturing factories throughout North America during the years ahead.

Daimler Trucks North America's Mt. Holly Truck Manufacturing Plant is located in Mt. Holly, North Carolina, according to Daimler Trucks North America and car haulers in America, and will in the future add 447 new manufacturing jobs to the roster, along with 27 plant-based administrative positions. DTNA's Gastonia Parts Manufacturing Plant is located in Gastonia, North Carolina, and will add 149 new workers to the manufacturing lines during the months ahead, along with five administrative positions, according to sources at DTNA.

This news might not surprise many transport drivers in the express auto transport business, or many transport firms in general, but this news will definitely put quite a few more Americans back to work, once it becomes reality. It will be a few months before this news is expected to become reality, but at least we have something to look forward to, and we know Daimler Trucks North America is planning on adding more jobs during the miles ahead.

Express Auto Transport Drivers

Transport drivers in the national auto shipping business on hand for the recently held Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) in Las Vegas, Nevada were treated to quite a party, according to the people that showed up for the event. Sources indicate that the crowds on hand were pretty good as suppliers and distributors were on hand to talk with other people in the transport industry about the future of the vehicle transport industry of the United States during the months and years ahead.

Sources on hand for the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week indicate that about 1,400 were on hand for the opening reception for the three day event on Monday. The optimism of the transport industry was on hand as well and there was an air of energy at the start of the event that has many people thinking momentum could be building for a pretty good year for the transport industry of America. Hopefully, these feelings of optimism are correct, and during 2011 we set new records for the number of car carriers moving to destination and customers served.

The Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week is all about building trust in the transport industry of America and bringing suppliers and distributors together to talk about making the transport industry of the country better in the years ahead. We're happy to announce that momentum in this desire was definitely created during the week and as we enter the second decade of the century of the environment the skies ahead are looking clear for the transport industry of the United States of America.

Firms That Ship Cars Using DEF & Diesel

Truck stop operators that provide rest stop services for national auto transport drivers planning on attending the National Association of Truck Stop Operators (NATSO) Show will get a look at North America's first fuel dispenser designed to offer Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and Diesel at the same fueling station. The National Association of Truck Stop Operators Show is happening between February 17-21 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida, just the place to meet people in the truck stop business and have a great time with people interested in the same things you like to do and talk about.

Sources in the vehicle shipping industry indicate that Gilbarco will unveil the Gilbarco Encore S DEF + 1 dispenser during the show, a dispenser with the industries first stainless steel mass flow meter that measures DEF accurately and reliably and is Weights & Measures approved. The Gilbarco Encore S DEF + 1 dispenser is specially engineered and designed to prevent DEF freezing and crystallization with a thermostat-controlled, heated cabinet and specially-designed hanging hardware which is optional, according to Gilbarco, and stainless steel hydraulics to protect against corrosion.

The Gilbarco Encore S DEF + 1 dispenser operates as an Ultra-Hi flow diesel master that can work the Encore S diesel Ultra-Hi flow satellite unit on the other side of your car hauling vehicle to simultaneously fill both diesel tanks. This feature can save you time and time is money in the transport business, so we expect the new Gilbarco Encore S DEF + 1 dispenser to be quite a hit with transport drivers and firms in the United States of America in the business of delivering vehicles on time and budget.

Car Transport Companies

National car transport service providers planning on attending the 2011 Green Truck Summit on Monday March 7-8 in the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis will be listening to United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator David Strickland talk about highway safety the transport industry of the United States of America in the years ahead.

Transport industry sources indicate that this gentleman has been asked to be the keynote address during the Green Truck Summit. This seems a good choice since David Strickland heads the agency tasked with setting policy for motor vehicle safety and fuel economy standards in the United States of America during the miles ahead, according to sources in the business of controlling car shipping prices.

The 2011 Green Truck Summit is being held in conjunction with The Work Truck Show 2011 and 47th Annual National Truck Equipment Association Convention. The 2011 Work Truck Show runs from March 8-10 and will include a Green Truck Ride-and-Drive, with a large number of hybrid and alternative fuel transport vehicles for you to take a look at.

Car transport service providers that stick around for the Green Truck Summit can take part in 26 sessions on alternative fuels, hybrid vehicle technology, and the latest product and technology developments in the transport industry. David Strickland is also expected to give us some information on the importance of alternative fuels and the advanced technology needed to use them. In addition to news on groundbreaking regulations on fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reduction currently being reviewed by the NHTSA and United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Car Shipping Fleets Could Expand in the Future

National firms in the enclosed car shipping business of the United States of America will be interested in the latest news concerning the plans of transport fleets in America thinking about investing in new transport trucks during 2011. The Q1 2011 Fleet Sentiment Report was recently released, and according to the experts looking at this report, a high percentage of transport companies could be thinking about investing in new transport vehicles during 2011, to help keep the vehicles moving to destination on time and budget.

The FSR Buying Index is a simple measure of the planned buying behavior of for-hire, private and government fleets that responded to the CKCVR's Fleet Sentiment quarterly questionnaire, according to transport experts. Apparently, in January 58 percent of the fleets questioned indicated they were planning on placing orders for power equipment during the months ahead, and about 42 percent said they were planning on investing in new trailers during 2011. There wasn't any specific information on the plans of enclosed auto transport providers, but we can certainly expect a percentage of the firms that indicated they were thinking about investing in new equipment in 2011, are in the business of moving cars to destination.

This news will certainly make some car haulers think that the business of transporting vehicles to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner is going to increase during the miles ahead in 2011. The road ahead is starting to look a lot better, according to many transport experts, and hopefully these experts are correct and during the months and weeks ahead in the United States of America we'll be seeing a lot more vehicle transports out on the roads.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see what happens during 2011, before we can make a final judgment on this belief, but if things keep getting better, we can probably expect an increase in the volume of customers requiring transport services in the future. The miles ahead will be interesting ones that transport firms in America will be keeping an eye on and hopefully the next Fleet Sentiment Report is even better.

Vehicle Shippers in Minnesota

Transport firms and auto shipping drivers providing transport services in the beautiful American state of Minnesota will be interested in the latest news concerning the Minnesota State Patrol's use of CVSA Level III inspections to determine fatigue in transport drivers. A United States District Court judge has ruled that the Minnesota State Patrol should stop using this inspection regiment during the weeks and months ahead in Minnesota, because this violates the fourth amendment rights of drivers taking vehicles to destination on time and budget in Minnesota.

This is great news for vehicle transport drivers on the transport roads and highways of Minnesota taking vehicles to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner, and according to many is a victory for independent drivers operating in Minnesota. According to sources Minnesota's State Patrol has been using a checklist of sorts to determine is transport drivers are fatigued, including the physical appearance of the driver, or transport vehicle, and even the interior condition of the transport vehicle in question. This practice will have to stop with this latest news and this is something that will make lots of drivers smile, when they hear about this ruling by the courts.

Sources also indicate that this means Minnesota State Patrol officers will need to have reasonable suspicion of probable cause in order to conduct inspections on car carriers operating on the roads and highways of Minnesota in the future. A change that will also probably trickle down to the other states in the United States conducting fatigue inspections during the months ahead, according to many transport safety experts close to this affair.

Express Auto Transport During Night Time

Transport firms and auto transport drivers out on the roads and highways of the United States taking vehicles to destination on time and budget will be interested in the latest news concerning the 34-hour restart proposal. The United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has recently commented that while this idea will likely work for transport drivers out on the roads during the day light hours, it might not be as good for drivers that work during the night time. The agency believes that we might need to include two periods of rest for vehicle shipping drivers on the roads between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m., in order to make sure drivers operate during the night time hours as safely as they would during the day.

The United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration apparently used the data provided by a study recently conducted in the United States of America to justify this belief. The study was conducted by the Sleep and Performance Research Center at Washington State University and according to the people looking at this study seems to indicate that the effectiveness of the 34-hour restart could depend on the timing of a driver's work schedule.

This idea isn't very popular with some elements of the transport industry of America, though, and the proposal could find a little resistance to this becoming law during the miles ahead, according to many car hauling drivers out on the roads taking vehicles to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner. The next few weeks and months in America will be interesting to watch and we should get a better idea of the direction of the agency and the proposed 34-hour restart, during this time, according to many watching this drama unfold. This affair is also going to determine the working conditions for many transport drivers during the miles ahead and you can be sure that the drivers will be watching to see what happens.

Ship Cars Using Cleaner Transports

Transport companies and car transport drivers will be interested in the latest news concerning the future incentives and policies that will be used to help accelerate American leadership of the global advanced transport truck market during the miles ahead. Sources in the transport industry of the United States of America indicate that a task force of 40 truck industry leaders has recently called for new performance-based incentives and policies designed to help accelerate American leadership of the global transport truck market. According to sources this idea is part of a report released by CalStart's Speeding High-Efficiency Truck Adoption program and includes measures like a voucher purchase program for high efficiency heavy-duty trucks with multiple benefits for firms in the business of controlling car shipping prices that implement new advanced truck technologies.

Concentrating on truck technologies with a number of different benefits for car transport companies of the United States of America is a good idea and it might even save a little time and money down the road. This task force of 40 transport industry leaders seems to have a lot of good ideas that will certainly get the attention of the people tasked with implementing transport policies in the United States of America during the years ahead. The transition of the heavy-duty transport vehicles on the transport roads and highways of the United States to cleaner technologies appears to be one of the main concerns of this task force. The momentum this task force is building is going to help reduce the carbon wheel-print of the transport industry of America, according to many watching this affair, and could be a force for change in the months ahead. Hopefully, this momentum continues to build and a few miles down the road this task force is being noted for making the roads and highways of America both safer and more efficient.

Enclosed Auto Transport Firms in California

National car shipping firms transporting vehicles to destination on time and budget in the beautiful state of California will be happy to hear that according to the California Air Resources Board the plan to cut carbon emissions in California has currently resulted in carbon emission reductions in about 5,300 diesel trucks operating on the roads of California. There were no firm numbers on how many of these transport trucks are in the business of taking vehicles to destination for customers?

Express Auto Transport Texting Ban

National transport drivers and firms that regularly provide auto transport services for customers in South Dakota watching the debate in the South Dakota legislature over the proposed ban on texting while driving will be interested in the latest news concerning this battle. According to sources in South Dakota that have been watching the battle in the legislature, things could start to get a little more difficult for the people that want to ban texting while driving on the roads of South Dakota. A similar idea failed to make it through the South Dakota house of legislature last year, by a very narrow margin, according to sources, and a recent survey conducted by firms tasked with conducting the survey indicate that the split in vote over this idea could be pretty close in the house session that's expected to open on Thursday in South Dakota.

Sources in the vehicle shipping industry close to this news indicate that many legislators in South Dakota are concerned about the growth on texting while driving on the roads and highways of South Dakota and the United States. They're also concerned that it could be hard to implement and enforce the plans to ban texting while driving in South Dakota, and a few of them are concerned that the idea might not even make the transport roads and highways in the state safer. There are even a few that think the proposed ban on texting while driving shouldn't include any prohibition on talking on a cell phone while driving.

This news probably doesn't surprise car hauling drivers and firms that have been taking vehicles to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner in South Dakota during the last few years. Especially, if they have been watching this drama unfold and were aware of the previous failure of a similar idea to make it through the South Dakota legislature.
