Are Automated Trucks In The Near Future

This reminds me of a really good 80s sci-fi drama. The Economist is talking about the success of automated vehicles, especially trucks in the military. And When I say automated I mean...........

Robotic, human free, autonomous, pilot-less

You get the point. If the military is using it, the private sector will not be far behind. Who knows at some point you might see HOV lanes coverted into Robot Truck or Car hauler lanes that move trucks back and forth without human error, unions, expenses, etc.

it should be interesting

Diesel dips

Diesel took a slight dip. I would not read to much into this. There is almost no predictability with the economy as our elected leaders keep threatening that we are going off a “fiscal cliff” What I guess they are really saying is That we are going over ANOTHER fiscal cliff like the other ones their bad decision making has pushed us over…

So while I would be thrilled with another wave of fuel price drops, I wouldn’t count on
it...

The Biggest Risk On The Road

I am reading more and more about the risk truckers, car haulers, and transportation professionals take...just by what they eat. I saw a must read article in of all places, MPRnews.com, about the number of truckers who were overweight and obese:

86% of car haulers, truckers, etc are overweight

66% of car haulers, truckers, etc are obese

Basically, your biggest risk of dying is not because of traffic on the highways, but stopped traffic your arteries. Click this link and read on...

Emergency Diesel Reserves To Be Released

A Little Fuel Goes A Long Way

In the interest of being proactive the Federal Government is releasing emergency diesel reserves to the Northeast. Increasing fuel supplies will help bring stability to the region by:

Helping to prevent a runup in commodity prices or price gouging on fuel
Helping to stabilize transportation in the Northeast
Reducing strain on fuel supplies in other regions

Hopefully this will accelerate efforts to restabilize the Northeast after the aftermath of Sandy.

Car Hauler Industry Heavily Staffed In The Northeast

I know in the car hauler industry a large portion of the drivers and car hauler companies are in the Northeast. Getting a car hauler back on the road is another part of an economic engine that needs to keep moving

Another Step Forward For Alternate Energy Trucks?

Is This A Giant Leap In Alternate Energy Trucks and Car Haulers....Or Just Another Small Step?

In Fleetowner magazine Ecodual corporation has the EPA approval to put dual fuel systems in 29 different Cummins engines. Ecodual also has plans to release dual fuel systems for Paccar, Detroit Diesel, and Caterpillar engines

Sounds exciting. Is this the giant leap we have been waiting for that moves alternate energy as a majority play in the heavy duty truck market. One of the key signs of a product going mass market is when it begins to get distributed on a mass scale, thus its move into multiple types of engines.

I am not totally sold that this is that moment. I have not heard a lot of buzz about these conversion kits and how they are doing, both in getting people to buy them and then their performance on the road. Hopefully the next 12 to 24 months will give us that answer.

Trucker Shortage Could Be Solved..

A rash of trucker shortage articles has hit the news lately..again...for the second, third, fourth time etc. They say the same thing:

There are not enough truckers to fill the positions
Companies are looking
The training programs are not training enough to fill them
The trucker fleet is aging
The government is forcing lots of drivers out
Many younger candidates and employees do not want to be on the road for weeks at a time
What do we do?

This is a bunch of hogwash.

24 karat hogwash

It is very simple what happens in just about EVERY other industry when people won't take a job

the wages go up.....way up...way way up.

So now "Joe" high school realizes he can earn 70,000, 80,000, 90,000 in a relatively short time..and the time on the road trucking doesn't seem that bad. As wages go up, the 'negatives' of a job become much more bearable

And in capitalism, when lots of people take a job with high wages, the wages stabilize..problem solved

Socialism offers stale suppressed wages with no incentives...

The Car Hauler Business In The Age Of The Driver Shortage

I am beginning to sound like a broken record. The driver shortage is a problem, not just for the car hauler industry but for all of trucking. On the car hauler side, it is inevitable there will probably be delays in shipping cars if there are not enough drivers to ship them. That is, of course, unless your willing to pay more for drivers.

This is the dilemma. The government wants drivers:

who are healthier
who are high performers
who are safe
who have good track records
who are professional
who only work a given number of hours
who spend thousands more for emissions friendly vehicles

And I say that is great..but what are you going to do to get enough drivers on the road to replace those who have flunked out or left the industry.

This is the question with some possible scenarios

Driver pay COULD get outrageously high
The price of goods could skyrocket
People will have to pick up their own goods
Goods just wont sell or get moved since shipping them makes them cost prohibitive
A combination of the above

The time to start thinking about the impact of this shortage is now

CSA: Being Reviwed by Congress

Though being a car hauler is a small segment of the trucking industry it still deals with the ramifications of the CSA. Well there is a saying, every dog has its day. In this case, the trucking lobby has its day in front of Congress in an attempt to correct some problems with the CSA program. According to a Transport Topics article some of the deficiencies of the program are:

Problems with the carrier data being incomplete or inaccurate in determining a carriers rank and status
The point system for crashes also assigns blame regardless of whether the accident was preventable or not
The CSA does not correctly portray a carriers safety record

Hey Car Hauler...One Less Future Toll On I-95

Sometimes finding good news is not always that easy. Sometimes you have to spin and contort to get the right light shining on that silver lining. Well guess what? This is one of those times. So here we go

According to a Truckinginfo.com article I-95 is only going to put up one toll instead of two.

I can only imagine your level of excitement but this is still good news. This is the first move by ANYONE to scale back the number of tolls. Up to now it has been a feeding frenzy of states poised to toll the trucking industry into financial oblivion. Now there is a chink in their armor.

Car haulers In The Future World Of Higher Tolls

New Strap Car Hauler Unit

It used to be that the word Fuel would strike fear into the heart of a car hauler or trucker. A new addition to this feared word group is coming about. That word is tolls and any car hauler knows that it is one of the most contentious cost issues being faced by car carriers on the road today. According to a Transport Topics article one state is cracking down on drivers who are trying to avoid them.

The State of Ohio is charging drivers full price if they mysteriously lose their ticket. Traditionally drivers would lose their ticket and then get issued a cheaper ticket since there was no proof of the original.

those days are over

The only problem is, it is not just the driver who is getting the ticket. The cost of this Ohio toll, and the higher New York tolls, the I-95 toll, the tolls emerging in other states...is that the cost is passed onto you and me.

So really we are paying these tolls in the form of more expensive goods.

The question is, how expensive will things have to get before the public backlash about tolls is heard

Arkansas Truckers to Save $4 Million with July 1 Tax Break - ArkansasBusiness.com

I dont know if this is just politics as usual in the state house or not. But economies cannot grow
if trucking is overwhelmed with costs and regulations. I would bet this will have a stimulus effect
so that more trucking companies are profitable enough to:

stay in business
move more freight

If products and services do not get delivered the economy does not move. I can tell you that if car hauler drivers cannot make a living cars wont be sold because they are not making it to the dealerships. Imagine this
for every product you buy?

Schneider Offers $99 Deal for Used Truck Buyers - Truckinginfo.com

car hauler for sale:

I love the idea of this but 2 months seems kind of tight for a new truck buyer to resume normal payments. I guess the thinking is that since finance is the big hurdle the two months of $99 finance is like a bonus. I would be interested to say how well the program does Who knows maybe it will go industry wide someday...maybe even to car haulers. Though I currently see no plans in sight, I a can tell you that if someone offered aggressive finance and two months of $99 in the car hauler

industry on a Cottrell...the buyers would be lined up around the door.

Commentary on article pertaining to Car Haulers: New Jersey Congressmen Call for Suspension in Toll Hikes - Truckinginfo.com

With the Government feeding frenzy for revenue, one has to wonder what the impact of tolls will mean for car haulers. On the one hand, costs have been going up everywhere. On the other hand, the people buying cars are not seeing very much growth in their wages, making it unlikely that the costs of cars can keep increasing, since they will have priced themselves out of competition. Eventually it could have a massive impact on the Car Hauler Industry.

Another One Bites The Dust...But At Least It Is Not A Car hauler

Used Car Hauler

I have not heard of many car haulers being shutdown. Actually I have not heard of any. This is good but according to Fleetowner newsline online a New Jersey carrier is not so lucky. According to the publication, The FMCSA shut down the carrier for:

Operating without the proper authority
Operating trucks with serious mechanical defects
Hours of service violations
Driver qualification violations

Hey Car Hauler...The Tollman Cometh

This sounds like a joke but the cost of running your car hauler has just gone up...I commend the Federal government for reeling in the feeding frenzy of states who wanted to start tolls everywhere. They slowed this process down BUT 3 states already have the approval to start tolling the interstates.

This has been a familiar trend. Every car hauler knows that regulations have spun out of control and the cost to run a car hauler trailer have increased exponentially. Now there is the added expense of these 3 tolls to run your car hauler. The states are:

North Carolina
Virginia
Missouri

Continued Challenges for Car Haulers

The challenges never cease for today's car hauler....

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
And I guess a video is worth a thousand pictures
But a really scary statistic might be worth a coronary..

well here it is. Abc Action News says it costs as much for the average family in Tampa Bay to fill their tank as it does pay their mortgage. The statistic needs no embellishment. It is pretty clear vision of how critical the fuel issue has become. As diesel goes up every car hauler feels it. The question is, will it reach these kind of levels where the cost to fill your tank simply will not cover the cost of the load

Before I would say that scenario was unlikely. After a story like this though...who knows?
