The Sun Herald | 11/15/2005 | Cars replace cows: "HARRISON COUNTY - Out-of-state
corporations have leased farmland in Harrison County, turning cow
pastures into gigantic lots of storm-damaged vehicles, including many
salvaged from New Orleans."

Got this from a reader today.

Been a carhauler for 35+ years.I've been an O/O and 20+ years Union Carhaul,I've seen a lot and have experienced more.I'm sure of one thing carhauling is about to change and only the most forward thinking and logical will survive.Allied is proof of how corp. greed and non-logical thinking have almost destroyed an industry with so much potential.As the average length of hauls shrunk all the big companies did was lobby for bigger more complex trucks to ward off lost revenues.but they forgot a big factor larger and more complex trucks need attention and to be replaced.Now they have backed themselves into a corner with a fleet of very old and unsafe,not to mention non revenue producing trucks.No where in the trucking industry do you see a sucessful operation run trucks more than 5 years old,lets not forget how complex and large these 75+ foot long trucks are.Plus they have virtually no life after there usefullness has been stretched to the max.Common sense seems to take a back ! seat toCorp. greed.
In a world where technology has made everything more productive and safe,carhaul some how was left behind.Just a thought ,but just maybe bigger is not better.how about relacable power units pulling trailers with maximized load capacities and a lot less complexity.who WOULD OF THOUGHT SMALLER COULD BE SMARTER.WOW!!!!!!!!

Auto Transport Black List: Are You On It?

Found this site this morning: www.transportblacklist.com

I looked up who owned it, but I think it is pretty much fictitious info, because I dialed the number and it didn't work. Here is the registration info, for those of you who may know this person.

Somebody went to a lot of work to put a site up so people could lodge complaints.

Your original post is as true today as it was 6 months ago. Fuel has begun to come down but we will never see it where it was 2 years ago. The past talk of a strike was just that talk. Truckers in the US will fight an uphill battle. Too many operators will low ball their prices just to get the work. There is very little loyalty among truckers in general. Auto hauling has gotten even tougher brokers have increased their prices but don't seem to be passing it on to the truck. Its frustrating. --Posted by Tim Hudson to Car Hauler News at 11/14/2005 02:25:57 PM

Cottrell Axles?

Cottrell Axle article This is an obscure article I found on Dogpile search engine. Don't know if this is still a problem or not. I never heard of cracked axles on Cottrells. Anybody else?

Boydstun Cylinders and Cottrell Cylinders? Couldn't be.

No, they're not Boydstun BRAND hydraulic cylinders or Cottrell BRAND hydraulic cylinders, but these are definitely aluminum hydraulic cylinders for auto transport trailers. Look to be good quality, too, not the ones that will get bent rods if you look at them the wrong way. Yup, these cylinders are guaranteed not to rust, bust or collect dust for one whole year.

We'll keep you posted.
