Carhauler: Watch Out For Reckless Tolls!

Carhauling, like any other truck segment, is burdened with expenses. The thought of more tolls for every carhauler or autotransport car carrier in the country is going to SERIOUSLY increase those expenses.

For the carhauler the increased cost of over $40 to $60 dollars when going along the I-95 corridor in North Carolina will get rolled into the price of cars. This is something you can probably mask for a while BUT..

The thousands of tons of food and goods that are going up and down the interstate en route to places like Wal Mart and Lowes are REALLY going to reflect these costs. Using the example of Wal-Mart, the mega chain has kept prices low by constantly shipping and transporting goods back and forth between stores based on demand. In a system with monster toll prices, this system will slow down. Goods will not move as freely, and prices will rise. It is not beyond the real of possibility for this to put many Americans in financial peril who are struggling on insufficient wages. I think the state needs to explore other avenues to solve their transportation needs.

Gas Pickup Trucks Could Be Profitable For The Carhauler...And The Carhauler Industry.

I saw an incredible article in the Wall Street Journal which is great news for carhaulers and the autohauling industry. Natural gas capabilities are begin introduced by auto manufacturers on pick up trucks. This is huge for the average carhauler because

1. Lower fuel price vehicles can help revive the economy
2. More sales of pickup trucks for consumers wanting cheaper fuel will spur the carhauler industry
3. You combine economic recovery with affordable natural gas vehicles and the carhauler industry could grow really fast

Federal Stimulus and Today's Carhauler

Every Carhauler knows that a good economy will put profits on the books. The  problem is..what is a good economy? I think its job creation with high wages. This idea that people are going to go out and buy new cars because they are working road crew with a Federal infrastructure plan is pointless.

This idea of re-stimulating the economy by repairing roads and bridges is a recycled outdated economic garbage plan that was only moderately successful in the 1930's when an enormous amount of the American workforce was minimum wage labor based..

This was recycled again in 2008 at the Federal level and did not work. There was no real stimulus effect

It is being reheated and served again to the American public in 2012 and I can tell you it is doomed before it starts. Let's just say that we actually do this.Do you think an army of Americans making minimum wage are going to:

• pay their overinflated mortage payments that were priced really high when the economy was doing well
• pay their credit card debt
• pay for outrageous gas prices
• pay for outrageous grocery prices

I am not going on..this kind of everyone makes nothing but serves the government thinking didn't work for communist Russia when they did huge public works programs and it will not work here BUT it
will plunge us deeper into the recession..HMMM..maybe that is the plan's true intention all along?

I can tell you there are no carhaulers in the world that will benefit from this kind of thinking. You do not need carhaulers to move cars that people cannot afford.

Carhauler Driver Shortage...or Carhauler Pay Shortage?

There seems to be a rash of familiar articles floating through the carhauler and trucking industry. It goes like this:
                  Carhauler Pay Shortage?

1. raw tonnage is up
2. a number of other items are up economically
3. the job situation has not change for the average American BUT somehow....

There is a driver shortage

Well that does not make sense. Why don't carhaulers and truckers want to pull these loads either
as a truck company employee or a independent operator. My guess is they do except

• costs are getting out of control
• wages are not going up
• the cost of necessary new equipment is out of reach with no financing
• the rewards do not merit the work

So the question needs to shift nationally to..why can't carhaulers and truckers make a decent living? I think this is the real issue. Solve this, and you probably will solve the driver shortage as well

Plans for Southern California Truck-Only Freeway In the Works - Truckinginfo.com

 Plans for Southern California Truck-Only Freeway In the Works

A flood of freight predicted to clog freeways in Southern California has spurred regional transportation officials to plan a truck-only east-west freeway between two major interstates, according to the Riverside Press-Enterprise.

The freeway, which is part of a 30-year regional transportation plan for the area, is intended to improve the movement of goods. Officials are considering the cargo highway between Interstate 710 in Commerce, Calif., and Interstate 15 in Ontario, Calif, adjacent to Highway 60.Image by Metro Transportation Library and Archive via Flickr

The specifics of the route aren't finalized, but there are tentative plans for a four-lane causeway.

According to the Press-Enterprise's article, "40% of the goods coming into the country arrive at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and that contributes mightily to the 13,000 trucks that on average cross from Los Angeles County into San Bernardino County along the 60 each day. The number of trucks is predicted to nearly double by 2035."

Between 25% and 40% of the trucks would be port-related, nearly 40% would serve local goods movement dependent industries, and the remainder would support domestic trade.

According to the Southern California Association of Governments, the truck freeway would relieve traffic on Highway 60 by as much as 85%.

There is also a heavy emphasis on the environment in the plan. In the future, the route could be strictly for zero-emission trucks that run on alternative fuels.

The freeway is estimated to cost more than $15 billion.
