Another DOT shutdown but still no..carhauler

DOT Orders Demco Express to Shut Down - Truckinginfo.com

It says a lot about the carhauler and autohauler industry that not one autotransport company
has been shut down. So far the shutdowns, as you will see in the linked article have been:

Carhauler for Sale

1.  confined to general trucking companies
2. companies with huge outrageous violations

Most carhaulers are very experienced and run their operations cleanly. So far so good...

Wage Increases For Carhaulers In The Future?

The inevitable has hit. I read in Transport Topics that 5 carriers are already talking about increasing wages. Hopefully this trend will spill over to Carhauler Fleets and Carhauler owner operators. The reasons are simple

• too few drivers
• too many requirements to be a driver
• too much time away from home 

I bet this trend will continue since no one is doing anything to try to increase the driver pool. The question is, at what point will goods become so expensive due to market demand for drivers?

How will it impact Carhaulers? New Jersey Congressmen Call for Suspension in Toll Hikes - Truckinginfo.com

I cannot even imagine what this is going to mean for carhaulers going in and out of the Northeast corridor. When you think of all the costs a carhauler already bears, adding $50 or $100 may make it an unprofitable for any carhauler traveling in this region. This might seem like a harsh conclusion, but the cost structure for any transportation professional is already under a lot of strain with expensive fuel and a weakened economy.

Carhauler Saving Strategy: Get Someone Else To Pay For Your Idle Reduction

Every Carhauler knows that a dollar saved is a dollar earned. Every Carhauler also knows that the price of fuel is outrageous. Every increase in the price of fuel reduces the profit of the Carhauler. I saw some great information in Truckinginfo.com about sites that can help you find funding for idle reduction.

 There were a number of sites mentioned but here is the link to the one I found most helpful from the get go:

In The News: Can Your Carhauler Make It Over The Bridge?

this is a bridge...not a diving board for carhaulersThis post is not about carhaulers and bridges. It is about what will happen to carhaulers if heavier trucks are allowed on the roads. The simple fact that every carhauler owner must accept is:

Our roads and bridges cannot take it..

It is unlikely that every road, bridge, or overpass can be inspected and fixed and then inspected again in the next 5 to 10 years. This really is not a choice. Going over a bridge should not be a death lottery for carhaulers and carhauler trailers around the nation

some trucking companies are going to this option
