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.

A stylish way to introduce Americans at the game and around the country to a few of the women of trucking out on the roads and highways on a daily basis.

Women of trucking that ship cars for a living and all transport industry workers that want to watch the game to see the commercial should tune into the game on December 18 at 3:30 pm MST. You'll have to watch a portion of the game to see the commercial, but the wait should be worth it, if you want to honor the women of trucking and take a look at some great trucks and the women that drive them to destination on a daily basis.

Enclosed Car Shipping Along Interstate 81

Transport firms in the business of trying to control car shipping prices using Interstate 81 to help them keep customers vehicles moving to destination in the days and weeks ahead will want to keep up to date with the news concerning this vital transport route. The Interstate 81 Corridor Coalition recently met in Hagerstown, Maryland to talk about the daily operations of this 855-mile stretch of highway during the recent past and talk about future plans for making sure Interstate 81 is in shape to handle the volume of vehicles expected to travel along this highway in the months and years ahead in the United States of America.

Vehicle Shippers Looking Foward to CSA 2010

Transport drivers and car transport companies preparing for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 to begin replacing the Safestat module will have to wait a little longer. The latest reports indicate that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has decided it needs to do a little more tinkering with CSA 2010, before they begin replacing the Safestat module. The most recent developments include the FMCSA deciding to keep two components of BASIC scores from public eyes, until they feel releasing this information is going to be of interest to Americans. The two components that are going to be private until further notice are the Cargo-Related BASIC and the Crash Indicator, according to sources at the FMCSA.

Sources around the transport industry of the United States indicate that some car transport professionals might have thought that some of the language that was attached to some of the ratings needed to be changed, that some of the terms used might be misinterpreted by some and possibly used against them in litigation. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration apparently agrees, since they have decided to make changes in the system, which is probably going to make quite a few transport drivers out on the roads and highways of the United States conducting express auto transport happier. The American Trucking Association definitely agrees and has indicated they were happy the FMCSA is continuing to work to make CSA 2010 successful by making these changes to these two components at this time.

Vehicle Shippers Need Help Finding Rest Stops

There could be a need for an electronic system to help car transport drivers and all transport drivers find the available spots open in the truck rest areas in Virginia, according to many transport professionals taking customers cars to destination in a reliable, effiicient and cost-effective manner in the United States of America. According to the professionals tasked with keeping track of the truck rest areas along the six-state, 855-mile transport route along Interstate 81, there are currently 5,260 designated truck parking spaces along this route for car carriers to use. Reports from the transport industry indicate that some drivers are still having trouble finding the truck rest stop along the Interstate 81 they need and some are still finding it necessary to park overnight on ramps and road shoulders along this essential transport route.

This news has recently resulted in a group studying transport along Interstate 81 to call for a new online electronic system to help direct trucks operating on the Interstate 81 to the available truck rest stops. This idea was announced recently in Hagerstown, Virginia and it appears to be a sound idea that could certainly be implemented across the greater United States of America in the future, if this idea turns out to be useful for the job of express auto transport along Interstate 81. At present, the group is seeking funds to develop a system that could use wireless technology to let truck drivers know where parking is available for their truck and even what kind of services are available at the truck rest stop in question.

Ship Cars for GE in the years ahead

National car transport service providers will be glad to hear that the latest news indicates GE has recently committed to purchasing about 25,000 electric vehicles over the next five years. Sources in the transport industry of the United States of America indicate that in the years ahead this move could be just the start of GE's plans to implement more and more electric vehicles and the firm could even start using electric trucks in the years ahead. Great news for the people that will be tasked with moving these new electric vehicles to destination for GE and the vehicle manufacturers who will be manufacturing these new vehicles GE is planning on purchasing in the next five years.

GE plans on beginning plans to purchase 25,000 electric vehicles, with an initial purchase of 12,000 General Motors vehicles, starting with the Chevrolet Volt in 2011, and will than slowly expand purchases as more electric vehicles become available. This will mean that car haulers will be transporting a lot of Chevrolet Volts to destination for GE in 2011, and as other manufacturers of future electric vehicles begin production during the miles ahead, GE will need to have an additional 13,000 vehicles transported during the following 4 years.

Sources around the transport industry of America also indicate that this move by GE is going to put them in a position to help their customers begin making the shift to using electric vehicles in the years ahead. More great news for car transport companies in the years ahead that will be looking for more vehicles to ship to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Car Carriers Drivers Have a New Road Tool

National transport drivers in the business of enclosed auto transport will have a new tool to help them find the truck stops on the transport route they’re traveling on, or will be traveling on in the future, sometime in December. Road Life Publication’s Pocket Truckstop Guide is expected to arrive at truck stops across North America in December, just in time for you to grab a copy for another driving buddy you know could use a guide to the truck rests stops across the continent. This is also a great opportunity for you to get your own pocket truck stop guide and provide yourself with another car transport road tool that can help you stay comfortable and drive safer out on the roads and highways of the United States of America as we enter the second decade of the environment.

This is certainly good news for busy transport drivers out on the roads and highways of the United States, which according to Road Life Publication and transport experts have actually been requesting that the next Pocket Truck Stop Guide contain more information for transport drivers on the truck rest stops in the United States. Road Life Publication has been in the business of helping the transport for years and first printed the Pocket Truck Stop Guide back in 1998. An exit-based printed directory that lists truck stops and rest areas in the United States of America sequentially by state, highway and exit, so transport drivers conducting express auto transport can identify stops before they arrive in the area.

Coming Back After a Stroke to Ship Cars

Transport professionals in the car transport service business returning to the job after recovering from a stroke can often wonder how life is going to change on the job after returning to work. To help these transport drivers returning to the job after a stroke the Medical Review Board recently made a few suggestions to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation and United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration they feel can help drivers deal with returning to work after a stroke. The Medical Review Board recommends drivers wait at least one year, before trying to return after a stroke, and should be ready to pass a driving test, before getting behind the steering wheel for one of the car transport companies of the United States of America. The Medical Review Board is also recommending drivers returning to work after a stroke should have annual check-ups on both their physical health and driving record as a requirement of being allowed to stay behind the wheel in the miles ahead.

These are just recommendations for the moment, but if the U.S. Secretary of Transportation and United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association like the ideas being proposed, they may decide to send these proposals forward, or just a few of the ideas, or they might decide these proposals aren’t going to be of any use at all and discard them.

Sources indicate that the parties involved really want to make sure they get this right, the first time, so we can probably expect them to take their time, and make sure the proposals they do put in place are going to make it possible for drivers working for vehicle shippers to return to the roads after a stroke, and still keep the roads as safe as ever.
