Is the economy improving for carhaulers?

Positive Outlook for Trucking Industry Tempered by Rising Operating Expenses, Says GE Capital Survey

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nearly three-quarters (71%) of trucking company executives surveyed by GE Capital, Transportation Finance expect business conditions to improve in 2011 but they are concerned about the impact of external and internal factors on their profit margins. The rising price of diesel, a nationwide shortage of drivers and the twin costs of complying with government regulations and maintaining their own aging fleets are all significant concerns.

Commentary
Commentary on " Positive Outlook for Trucking"

I think the recovery is taking root. No economy is perfect even in the greatest of boom times BUT steady signs of improvement are showing. As far as how this improvement is affecting truckers and carhaulers, the simple fact is goods have be shipped. Even after considerable damage was done to the economy in 2008 and 2009, life has gone on and food and services have to be delivered.

This alone is a stepping stone to a greater recovery.While there are challenges like high fuel costs, regulation fears , and driver shortages, they are surmountable challenges.The part of the economy that has survived the recession is growing again.

Perfect mental reminder of why to use a height stick

This is not a carhauler but it carries my point..dont forget the height stick. I bet the next time your approaching a tunnel, this picture will pop into your mind to remind you of what can happen

The number of times drivers run the tunnel without a height stick is amazing

Dont forget your height stick. Here is one of my favorites. A semi trying to squeeze through a tunnel that was probably designed for a horse and buggy (look at the old stone). I admire the bravado, but the cost of pulling out the measuring stick and realizing that you cant squeeze into the tunnel would have save you thousands of dollars and hours of teasing.

dont forget your height stick





This hole must have looked really really small from a distance. Thats the purpose of the height stick, to take away any chance you could be wrong
