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.

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 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.
