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.

Car Transport Drivers Rejoice!
Car transport drivers conducting auto shipping services on the streets and highways of the United States of America that drive a car hauling Peterbilt or Kenworth transport vehicle with ArvinMeritor axles, braking systems, and other drivetrain components will be glad to hear that five ArvinMeritor manufacturing facilities have been given awards for Paccar's 2009 Quality Achievement. Apparently, these five awards recognize Paccar suppliers with a defect rate of 50 parts per million or less during the 2009 calendar year. The five ArvinMeritor facilities that were given these awards are the Forest City, N.C.; Franklin, Kentucky; Cienega de Flores, Mexico; Escobedo, Mexico;and Lindesberg, Sweden manufacturing facilities.
This is a real feather in the hat for ArvinMeritor and should give American car transporters driving Peterbilt and Kenworth transports implementing ArvinMeritor parts confidence that their transport has some of the best designed and manufactured parts for large transports in the world. It should also give customers confidence that the heavy-duty car hauling transports implemented by the car movers they hire are safe and efficient transports designed to get their car to destination in an efficient and reliable manner. This news is going to give the workers in the five manufacturing facilities given these quality awards a good feeling and the belief that their jobs are secure and in the years ahead we expect to hear similar news about ArvinMeritor manufacturing facilities around the world receiving quality awards for outstanding work and the manufacture of quality parts for commercial truck, trailer and specialty original equipment manufacturers for the transportation industry of the United States of America.

Car Haulers Inflate Your Truck Tires
Auto shipping service firms in the United States of America looking for another way to improve the fuel economy of their car hauling vehicles will want to check out the latest news from Pressure Systems International. Pressure Systems International announced recently that they had added new green Thru-T and green striped delivery hoses to its Meritor Tire Inflation Systems, in order to provide customers with the environmental benefits of Thru-T and green striped delivery hoses. The Meritor Tire Inflation System can apparently improve fuel economy by up to 1.8 percent, according to Pressure Systems International, and a US government study conducted by Standards Testing Laboratory in Massillon, Ohio, by helping to keep the tires properly inflated at all times, which has been shown to have environmental and cost benefits for car transporters.
A 1.8 percent increase in fuel economy might seem like a small increase in fuel savings, but over hundreds of thousands of miles on the roads of America, this small increase in fuel economy will show its benefits for car movers, and there are other benefits of keeping your tires properly inflated at all times as well. Pressure Systems International says the Meritor Tire Inflation System will prevent rubber alligators on the road, leaving reusable casing on the tires for better retreading down the road. In addition to reducing roadside service calls, increasing the life expectancy of the tire and ultimately avoiding costly delays in car transport.
Standards Testing Laboratory's study apparently also indicated that tire rolling resistance increases on average by 12 percent when a truck tires air pressure was run as low as 70 psi and that under inflated truck tires that are used for any period of time will start to show the diminished efficiency associated with under inflated tires and the negative impact on fuel efficiency and life expectancy.
Making sure truck tires are inflated to the proper pressure apparently has important benefits for professionals in the business of shipping cars on the roads of the United States. Any improvement in fuel economy is going to help and it might be prudent to check out the possible fuel economy savings that could be provided by just making sure truck tires as properly inflated at all times.

Car Transport in Ports of LA and Long Beach
Car transport services in the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles will return to normal today as it was announced that striking clerical workers at these two United States ports will go back to work, for now. The Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbour Employers' Association announced late Sunday that workers for the local Office of Clerical Unit (OCU) of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union had ceased picketing. According to sources the Office of Clerical Unit gave no reason for the sudden ceasing of picketing that according to some professionals was disrupting automobile transport services in the ports and threatened to totally stop all car shipping in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Apparently this good news has the ports a little wary though and they're are viewing this latest move by the OCU with a grain of salt or two, according to some observers.
This is certainly good news for car transporters in the United States of America that need to use the auto shipping services provided by these two vital US ports. The OCU has twice been condemned by an Area Artibrator who ruled that the OCU is bargaining in bad faith and hopefully this means that the union is double-thinking their situation and the strike and we'll see services in the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles return to normal. It would be nice to see the two parties in this dispute find common ground upon which to stand upon and come to an agreement that would see the clerical workers stay on the job and be happy at the same time. This would be the best news for car movers that use the services of the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to hear in the days ahead in the century of the environment.

Rank & Rate Car Transport Drivers
Automobile transport companies of the United States of America that are looking for a way to rate and rank the drivers they use to conduct auto shipping services and identify driver speed-limit violations will soon have a new product to help them do the job. Shaw Tracking announced the other day that it had entered into a strategic alliance and patent licence agreement with SpeedGauge that will provide car transport firms in the United States with the ability to track their drivers and any speed violations they might have and rate them in a useful way that will help American auto transport firms provide better car shipping services in the years ahead in the century of the environment.
Monitoring and managing the speed of transport vehicles is going to be an essential element of any safety and compliance program implemented by auto transportation firms as they prepare for the full implementation of Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010. SpeedGauge can help firms to identify drivers that habitually drive at excessive speeds on different types of roads using street-level speed-limit analysis by GPS (location and speed data). It also helps firms rank drivers tendencies to exceed higher speed limits while comparing them to the average for the entire fleet. The most important feature included with SpeedGauge could be the ability to measure any changes in driver behaviour over time, which could help firms help drivers change their behaviours, before they become a safety hazard.
This is great news for car movers that want to correct some of the driving behaviours they might have developed over time and not realised it. It's also great news for professionals in the business of shipping cars to destination in the United States that were worrying about the upcoming implementation of CSA 2010 and wanted to find a new tool to help them cope.
