I hope you dont have to haul cars through New York or New Jersey. According to a Fleet Owner article the cost of the tolls to go through these places is about to go up over 180%. Naturally this affects all truckers, including carhaulers and autotransports. I am trying to be open minded here instead of just reacting, I mean the governments of New York and New Jersey had to have thought this through.
Yes, in the short term, this means more tax revenue for the state which will benefit taxpayers BUT...lets look at what else it means for the taxpayer..Every good that is shipped in and out of this area is going to now cost more, a lot more
This means the cost of food, clothes, services,..etc are going up exponentially for the citizens of these areas (and I guess to a certain degree New England since trucks have to pass through New York and New Jersey to get to New England)
You will probably have carhaulers who outright refuse to go to these places because the cost has become outrageous
Essentially any dollar of tax revenue is going to be offset by higher costs for consumers..so what is the point.
I can tell you without a doubt that any car being transported via car carrier will cost a lot more to ship.
