Nations Transport is building in the desire in America to put more fuel-efficient, aerodynamic car transports on the streets and highways of the United States of America in the years ahead in the century of the environment. The latest sources indicate that the Kenworth T700 is being ordered in greater numbers than first anticipated and this demand is expected to keep going up as the economy continues to strengthen and more American car hauling firms invest in new automobile transport vehicles to reduce the carbon wheel-print of their auto shipping services.
Sources indicate that the assembly lines at the Kirkland, Washington Kenworth Truck Company manufacturing plant in Chillicothe, Ohio have been producing new Kenworth T700 trucks at a feverish pace in order to keep up with current demand for this truck. Orders have apparently been coming in from professionals in the business of shipping cars to destination in the United States of America and the transport industry in general. Great news for the American transport industry and professionals in the business of car shipping and one that could definitely indicate an increase in the demand for auto transportation services in the United States.
The Kenworth T700 has been getting some pretty good reviews from the professionals that drive them, so far, and it appears the news is out and car transporters have heard what other transport professionals are saying about the Kenworth T700. Kenworth claims that the Kenworth T700 has the lowest aerodynamic drag of any Kenworth truck ever built and it has certainly earned the approval and certification of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay program. The Kenworth T700 also comes with a spacious wide-cab and 75-inch Aerodyne sleeper with soaring 8-foot cathedral ceiling, forward lighting and excellent serviceability, according to the professionals that have driven one.

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 Transporters & Backup Emergency Plans
Car transporters conducting auto transport on the roads of the United States of America were doing fuel management of a type in their heads for years before the arrival of modern fuel management programs. Today research indicates that only a small percentage of both small and large car hauling firms are using comprehensive fuel management programs in order to help them manage the fuel needs of their fleet of car transport vehicles. The future of fuel management on the other hand appears to be opening before the business of shipping cars to destination in the United States and the parameters that will be included in such programs in a few years is certainly going to expand and new ways of thinking about fleet fuel management and programs that help firms in this area of business are going to increase in complexity and usefulness.
The job that fuel management program are tasked with is a complex one that requires study and analysis in order to attempt to predict Mother Nature and the changing environment. This isn't necessarily limited to snowy or rainy weather, but the crazy things that can happen in this unpredictable world, like hurricanes, mudslides, heavy tropical storms, tornados, power disruptions, floods, frozen rivers, and other environmental problems. It could be key for your car movers to have an emergency fuel management backup plan, for emergencies like the recent river flooding in Nashville, in which transport vehicles were stuck in 5 feet of water. It might seem to some auto transport professionals that such situations are unpredictable and that it would be impossible to make a backup plan for such a situation, and that sometimes no matter how hard you plan things just don't work out. A backup plan that does work in these situations is going to save a firm time, money and frustration and keep their customers happy, when other firms might not be able to promise the same thing, though, and creating one for such situations is still a good idea.

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.
