Will Trucking Pay The Price For The Fiscal Cliff?


I am not sure whether the fiscal cliff is political propaganda or is a real threat to the economy and the lifeblood of his economy, the trucking industry. I know both parties have been known to drag these out and the Federal government has gone unfunded for a few weeks.

That is political posturing that gets publicity. Letting the entire economy go down the toilet to prove their point is unacceptable. I have featured this topic on a couple of other blog posts which I will link here.

GPS for trucks
80%

Make sure your GPS has been calibrated for proper bridge height. If you are not sure, use a height stick and always keep your eye out for warning signs.

Forecast Predicts Hybrid, Electric Truck Sales Will Nearly Double in 2012 By Genevieve Conti, Assistant Editor

A forecast from Pike Research says that sales of hybrid and electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks will nearly double in 2012, but one industry expert thinks some of the numbers might be overly optimistic.

Pike believes the global market for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electrics vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) will grow at 92% in 2012, with total sales surpassing 19,000.

In the U.S. this year, it predicts that 3,250 medium- and heavy-duty HEV trucks be sold, 790 BEV trucks will be sold and about 500 PHEV trucks will be sold.

Fuel price challenges for carhaulers and truckers...

More money to fill your carhauler…more money to fill your rig.

I am waiting and watching as fuel continues upward against the backdrop of 9.1% inflation. The price of goods is increasing everyday and no one is viewing the fuel situation for what it really is, a crisis and an opportunity. The crisis is that the price of fuel will get so expensive that the average American will struggle to purchase even the most basic of commodities from the grocery store. The opportunity is that it will galvanize the entire American public to pursue a mission of alternate energy programs everywhere to get us out of this boom-bust oil nightmare forever
