Sources in the business of great auto transport reviews indicate that the sales of used Class 8 commercial trucks was up about 55 percent in August, over the numbers recorded during the same period of time in 2009. At the same time, sources also indicate that the average price being paid for a used truck in the United States of America increased, and prices could increase even more in the days and months ahead in the century of the environment. This data was reported by ACT Research Co, which is a firm in the business of providing commercial vehicle industry information, market analysis and forecasting.
How much were customers paying for a used truck they could use for vehicle transport? ACT Research indicates that the price of a used truck broke the $40,000 mark for the first time since February, 2009, and this is a lot for a used truck, but the demand for used trucks is still strong, despite having gone down a little recently. Dealers have been voicing concerns over the lack of good used trucks and this could certainly be pushing up the price of a used truck, according to many transport professionals in the United States of America.
Professionals that ship cars in the United States using used transports will be looking at this news and probably thinking they are glad they have all of the used transports they need to meet their customers needs. Firms that are looking at investing money in used trucks will be looking at this news and thinking that it might be a good idea to wait, for awhile, if they can. Hopefully, in a few months time, the price for a used truck in America will come down a little, and this will help some firms find some of the used trucks they need.

Auto Transport Safety Improved
Professional vehicle transport drivers will be glad that according to sources at the United States Department of Transportation the agency has already finished implementing more NTSB safety recommendations in 2010 than anytime during the past five years. During the past 18 months in the United States the United States Department of Transportation has been on the transport roads taking care of critical safety issues, like distracted driving, pilot fatigue, and other transport safety issues. Sources at the agency indicate that they completed 92 safety recommendations in the first nine months of 2010, compared to 60 in 2009, so it does appear that momentum is building for the implementation of critical safety issues on the transport roads.
This is good news for the professionals that ship cars in the United States, but this is just the beginning of the battle to improve the level of safety on the transport roads. The United States Department of Transportation is also at work implementing about 80 percent of the safety recommendation they have received or looking at their feasibility for improving the level of safety for the transport industry of America in the century of the environment. Hopefully, they get all of the useful safety recommendations implemented in the next few months, and the transport roads are safer to move along. This is the news that transport professionals and all Americans using the roads are looking forward to hearing. If we keep building momentum in this battle, we should steadily improve the level of safety on the transport highways of America for the professional car transporter, and all Americans.

Auto Transport Vehicle Technicians Can Compete
Professional car transporter technicians were on hand for the fall meeting of the TMC SuperTech Competition at the Technology & Maintenance Council's in Raleigh, North Carolina, this week. This particular competition was created by TMC to recognize and promote transport technicians on a national level through TMC's Professional Technical Development Committee, according to sources close to this event. The winner this time is Jeffrey Schlecht, a technician who works for a truck shop in Norfolk, who outscored 40 other professional transport technicians in a series of written and hands-on tests designed to test their skills, and technical and mechanical aptitude for the job of making sure transports are ready and able to move to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner.

A technician with seven years experience working on all makes and models of transports that ship cars in the United States of America, it appears that Jeffrey Schlecht has reached a mile stone in his career as a technician. A graduate of the Wyoming Technical College, this was apparently the first technician's competiton that Jeffery has entered, and if this first competition is any indication, we might be hearing about Jeffery competiting in the future? One thing is for certain, Jeffrey must be very proud of his accomplishments, and his father must be smiling, whatever he's doing.

Vehicle Shipping Professionals Were in Attendance
Professionals that determine the auto shipping rates in the United States of America were on hand for TMW Systems user conference in Dallas during the recently held 24th annual event. Reports indicate that about 1,400 transport professionals were on hand for the event and this meant they had to find a few extra rooms to handle the overflow. This is an increase of about 400 people in attendance at this affair, which could mean that transport professionals in the United States are starting to take a closer look at the products being offered by TMW Systems. Sources at TMW Systems indicate that the turn out exceeds their desires for the event and they're looking forward to seeing how many professionals turn out for the event next year.
This year's event actually had to be moved from the original location at the Gaylord Opryland hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, after the hotel sustained damage due to flooding. They do expect to hold next year's TMW Systems user conference at the same location in Nashville, Tennessee, but professionals that drive car carriers should probably wait until sometime in 2011, before seeing if this is the final location for next year's affair.

New Auto Transport Weight Display
American vehicle transport professionals transporting vehicles in the United States of America need to make sure they know the exact on-the-ground weight of the load they're transporting. Air-Weight has just announced the release of a new in-cab LoadMaxx display that apparently includes all of the Air-Weight scale features you need to do the job, in a small rectangular package about the size of one of your credit cards. Air-Weight indicates that the new LoadMaxx display can be mounted on any flat surface using permanent adhesive tape or an optional dash swivel mount that can be put in even more places. The manufacturer also indicates that the new LoadMaxx display is perfect for transport vehicles where mounting the traditional round gauge weight display in the dash of the truck isn't feasible.
The new LoadMaxx on-board display is available in both rectangular and round displays, so professionals in the business of vehicle shipping have a choice in the look of their new LoadMaxx on-board scale. Sources around the transport industry and Air-Weight indicate that LoadMaxx on-board scales convert tractor and trailer suspension loads to an accurate on-the-ground weight. Air-Weight also indicates that LoadMax on-board scales are easy to install and operate and the accuracy of their on-board scales isn't effected by altitude, temperature, or humidity. Programmable alarm outputs warn users of excessive weight on any axle and fleet operators can integrate their on-board computers to LoadMaxx in order to monitor, record and transmit the weight of a car transport vehicle.

Control Car Shipping Prices
American car shipping professionals who are members of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and live in certain states in the United States of America could be about to get some help reducing the carbon wheel-print of their business operations. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association has announced they're now accepting applications for grants to help transport professionals with the cost of a new auxiliary power unit for their transport vehicle and the installation of the APU. This means that the OOIDA will be able to provide qualifying transport professionals with a 40 percent reimbursement for the cost and installation of a new APU, starting Tuesday, according to sources.
What regions do vehicle transport professionals in the United States of America have to be from in order to qualify for the grants? The United States Environmental Protection Agency provided the funds in order to help install about 300 APUs in the transport trucks operating in regions 6 and 7 of America. Region 6 includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and 66 tribal nations, while region 7 includes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and nine tribal nations. The Owner-Operators Independent Drivers Association is in fact one of five agencies that has been provided with financial help through funds from the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA), to help support transport professionals that want to install a new APU unit on their truck operating in the regions in question.
Auto transport professionals living in region 6 or 7 that want to apply for the grants should contact the OOIDA's Equipment Finance Department for additional information on the program.

Auto Shipping Truck Tires Get a Little Help
The business of a car transporter doing business in the United States can get tougher, if the cost of doing business starts to head north. Making sure the required maintenance is completed on the truck tires your fleet uses could be a task that keeps your transports moving to destination, rather than sitting on the sidelines having their truck tires worked on. Ohio-based Ken-Tool has just announced the expansion of their line of tire service lubricants that will help you keep your truck tires in shape and moving to destination in a reliable and efficient manner, rather than in the hands of tire technicians.
Designed for both fleets that ship cars to destination and off-highway applications, Ken-Tool's new Euro Paste, Heavy Paste, Tiger Paste and Ultra Lube help in the truck tire mounting process, by lubricating the surface of the tire rim and bead. All of these new lubricants contain rust inhibitors to protect the tires steel rims from rust, which can bond the tire bead to the rim, and make removing and mounting the tire quicker and easier to accomplish, according to Ken-Tool.
Ken-Tool has indicated that Euro Paste is a premium tire mounting lubricant that dries to a tacky consistency and prevents rim slippage that's perfect to help vehicle shipping professionals keep their truck tires in shape. Heavy Paste is an economical, concentrated tire mounting and bead packing lubricant, Tiger Paste is made for commercial, off-road and other applications, while Ultra Lube is a tire mounting lubricant and rim rust retardant that has been designed for the demanding transport applications required in the transport industry of the United States of America.
