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.

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 Make Note

Transport drivers and car transport companies in the business of making sure the vehicles are delivered on time and budget will be interested in the latest news concerning this year's recipient of the Joseph M. Magliochetti Industry Champion Award. The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers association has awarded Senator Debbie Stabenow (Michigan) and Representative Geoff Davis (Kentucky) this year's award for outstanding leadership on behalf of motor vehicle parts manufacturers.

In particular transport experts point to the work Stabenow has done in leading the work on the Advanced Vehicle Technology Act in the Senate. They also point to her work in addressing the changes needed in Section 136 of the loan program and making it more accessible to suppliers and even extending this program to technology needed for both medium and heavy-duty transport vehicles used to ship cars in the United States of America. In addition, they point to her leadership on the Commercial Motor Vehicle Advanced Safety Technology Act and other work.

Car Transport Companies Show Heart

Transport drivers working for a car transport firm planning on taking part in Wreaths Across America will be glad to hear that the support of the transport trucking industry for this great cause has never been stronger. The trucking industry has always shown strong support for America's veterans each year during the holiday season, by placing wreaths at the grave sites of America's heroes, and this year the cause is expected to place about 500,000 wreaths at the graves of our veterans. Firms that ship cars and trucking firms across the United States will be taking part in the program this year and adding momentum to a cause that was started 19 years ago by the Worchester Wreath Company in Maine.

This year the American Trucking Association, the Owner-Operator and Independent Driver Association and the transport trucking industry of the United States, along with transport industry suppliers like Qualcomm, will be taking part in a ceremony at Fort Rosecrans in Point Loma, near San Diego. At the present moment, a five truck convoy carrying 26,000 wreaths is slowly making its way from Harrington, ME, to Arlington National Ceremony in Washington, DC. They plan on placing the wreaths at the grave sites of veterans during a ceremony on December 11 at the Chattanooga National Cemetery, during which transport workers and drivers from across the United States of America will take part in the wreath placing ceremony.

This news won't surprise firms in the business of controlling car shipping prices who have been taking part in Wreaths Across America for years, or witnessed previous ceremonies. The support of the trucking industry for this fantastic event and cause is something we have all come to expect on a yearly basis and the truckers of America never disappoint.

Women Transporting for Car Transport Companies

America will be honoring the women of the car transport industry and all women involved in the trucking business during the 2010 uDrove Humanitarian Bowl on December 18, 2010. People watching the game on ESPN will get a chance to see a 30-second commercial promoting the trucking industry made by the Women in Trucking Association, with the support of companies in the United States of America. The commercial only contains women of trucking and will feature a white Freightliner tractor-trailer driven by truck driver Allyson, Hay, and photos of women truckers standing by their trucks with the words, professional, experienced, dedicated and pioneers. 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. Still, this idea is a great way to help more Americans connect with the express auto transport industry and the transport industry of America as a whole during the miles ahead. Hopefully, the commercial is a success and entertains and connects Americans with the transport industry in some small way, and we see more women in trucking helping to keep the cargo flowing to destination in the years ahead in the United States of America.

Hands Free Enclosed Car Shipping

Professional car transport service drivers talking on a hands-free cell phone while running down the roads and highways of the United States believing that this activity doesn't significantly affect the possibility of their involvement in a accident have the support of a recent study. The study being cited in this case was just released by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute in conjunction with the driver monitoring experts at DriveCam Incorporated. A study designed to measure just how distracted a driver talking on a hands-free cell phone is while running down the roads and highways of the United States of America taking customers vehicles to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner.

The study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute collected data from over 13,000 transport vehicles and included a total of 1,085 accidents, 8,375 near crashes, 30,661 crash-relevant conflicts and 211, 711 instances of normal driving as a comparison. According to the professionals that conducted this study, the results are consistent with another United States Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration study conducted by the VTTI, revealing that professionals that ship cars are more likely to follow companies directives about using hands-free cell phones, than they're federal and state laws concerning the use of these devices while conducting transport services out on the roads and highways of the United States of America.

This probably isn't a surprise to car haulers out on the roads and highways of the United States that use a hands-free cell phone in order to help them keep customers cars flowing to destination on time and budget. The real question will be what this study and its consistency with the study conducted by the FMCSA is going to mean for transport professionals using a hand-free cell phone to help them in the future?

Enclosed Auto Transport in Wisconsin

Wisconsin State Patrol officers will be talking to car transport professionals out on the roads and highways of the great American state of Wisconsin a lot more in the days and weeks ahead. The Wisconsin State Patrol is taking part in Operation Safe Driver until Saturday, a plan designed to improve the driving behaviour, habits and choices being made out on the roads by drivers of large vehicles. During Operation Safe Driver Wisconsin State Patrol officers will be checking the speeds of large vehicles, the distance between large transport vehicles and other vehicles, improper lane changes and the failure on the part of some large vehicles that ship cars to obey the traffic signs on the highways of the United States of America.

Wisconsin's State Patrol officers will also be talking with transport drivers about things like compliance with license requirements and all things dealing with the regulations governing your medical card and the number of hours you spend on the roads. Officials in Wisconsin indicate that Operation Safe Driver is designed to improve the level of safety for large car carriers operating on the highways of America and all vehicles on the roads. They hope this idea is going to save lives in Wisconsin in the months and years ahead by reducing the unsafe driving behaviours of large vehicles and the number of large vehicles involved in accidents.

New Fuel for Car Carriers on the Way

National vehicle shippers could have a new fuel to help them control costs and reduce the carbon wheel-print of the services they provide in a few years time. A refining process for a new fuel that combines ultra-low sulfur diesel with natural gas has been given a U.S. patent and this means in a few years time this process could be producing clean liquid hydrocarbon fuel suitable for the heavy-duty transports of the United States of America. The process involved is called ClearRefining and was designed by the professionals working at Advanced Refining Concepts, and according to sources this patent could be just the first of many patents as this firm has other patents pending.

Reports close to this news indicate that fuel made with the ClearRefining method would have definite benefits for professionals that ship cars in the United States of America. Fuel made through this new process would be available in the commercial quantities the transport industry of the United States would require, it wouldn't require massive infrastructure changes to implement and no government help would be needed to get this fuel into production.

A new type of fuel for the car transport industry of the United States is definitely good news, but the developers of the ClearRefining process still have lots of work to do, before we'll see any commercial quantities of this fuel being taken to destination in America. Still, Advanced Refining Concepts appears to be leading the charge in this battle, and considering the past history of this firm, we expect to see transport using fuel made with this process in a few years.
