Don't be surprised if the next time your truck needs mobile tire service if they use nitrogen to inflate the tires.

Imagine being stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire.  Now imagine, you have more than one blowout – or imagine that you need roadside assistance.  Mobile Tire Service is extremely important – especially when it comes to Semis, trucks, big rigs, 18 wheelers, buses, freightliners, tractor trailers, low boys and reefers.

A new concept is being discussed in the world of trucking – pure nitrogen may replace air as a superior medium for inflating tires.

First, before you think it sounds crazy – don’t worry – you’re not putting anything new into your tires.  Nitrogen is already in the air that is put into your tires.  Currently air is about 78% nitrogen already.  The air that is put into tires is approximately 21% oxygen and 1% trace elements.

Nitrogen generators used in tire inflation systems don’t manufacture nitrogen – but instead they remove oxygen from the air leaving approximately 95% – 98% nitrogen to fill the tires.

The most important benefit to nitrogen tire inflation is that it reduces natural pressure loss in tires.  Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules and this permeate tires more slowly.  Pure nitrogen contains almost no moisture which eliminates the chances of water accumulating inside tires.  Moisture in tires can corrode steel wheels, freeze tire valves and cause oxidation.

More and more fleets of trucks, tractor trailers, buses, freightliners, low boys and reefers are switching over to nitrogen filled tires in an attempt to maintain their trucks more efficiently.

Recently, a FixonRoad.com™ blog entry focused on the fact that tractor trailer and body makers have been concentrating on trucking industry research and development. 

The lift axle is also set to automatically raise or deploy depending on the weight of the trailer’s load.

One such advancement in the trucking industry is the lift axle.  A sensor-activated lift axle can be mounted at the forward position of an aluminum trailer to reduce stress on its haul.  The lift axle is also set to automatically raise or deploy depending on the weight of the trailer’s load.  This reduces tire scuffing and increases the life of the tire while lengthening the time between tire service.

A new innovation in the trucking world is the Equalizer.  It is a nitrogen-assisted weight-transfer system utilized in spread axle trailers. By transferring truck loads hydraulically, it softens road shock resulting in a smoother ride.  A smoother ride means less truck repair services are needed. 

High center obstructions can cause truck collision damage resulting in higher and more frequent truck repair bills and services.  Tough side skirts have been known to lower fuel costs and resist collision damage to trucks.  Galvanized steel along with UV-protected fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels are corrosion resistant and flexible.  These features are sure to result in a decrease in the need for truck repair services.

FixonRoad.com™ reports that the American Trucking Associations is opposed to the FREIGHT Act of 2010.  If passed, the new Senate legislation would set a national freight transportation policy that would make highways ineligible for funding outside of limited connectors to freight terminals.

Improving the freightliner industry should mean reducing the need for truck repair services and creating a safer environment for drivers of tractor trailers, semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, and freightliners.

This is an approach that fails to improves trucking / freightliner transportation or for that matter the economy of the trucking industry in general.

The trucking bill was introduced by Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey.  Lautenberg is the chairman of the Surface Transportation Subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee.  This Committee regulates much of the activity of freightliner transportation in the United States.

The FREIGHT Act of 2010 aims to give the country an official freight policy for the first time in our nation’s history.  The goal of the act is to improve the efficiency, operation, and security of the national transportation system to move freight.

Part of the freight bill is to provide a framework for freight investment and planning.  Another measure of the freight bill is to set goals centered on reducing delays at international points of entry.  In addition, the freight bill aims to make transit times along freight corridors more reliable, while improving safety and reducing air pollution.

The ATA appreciates the fact that the Senate considers freight transportation an area of importance.  However, the ATA feels that the legislation does not fix the highway funding crisis.

Improving the freightliner industry should mean reducing the need for truck repair services and creating a safer environment for drivers of tractor trailers, semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, and freightliners.

It remains to see whether or not the freightliner legislation will pass through the Sentate.

Families came down by the thousands to participate in the first-ever Touch-a-Truck event.  There was a giant maze of vehicles including emergency service vehicles, emergency trucks, semi-truck trailers, Big Rigs, 18 wheelers, buses, freightliners, tractor trailers, low boys, reefers, fire trucks, farm vehicles, a police command center, and even a Pepsi truck.

By noon, there were just about 3,000 people waiting in line just to get the chance to touch a truck.

Also on hand were Truck Service Repair providers who specialized in emergency truck road service, mobile truck service, semi truck trailer repair, truck towing, truck tire service, and truck A/C repair.  The Touch-a-Truck event gave truck enthusiasts a chance to meet truck owners and truck service providers.

Flexible Skirts are available for dry freight and refrigerated trailers. The skirts are made of a flexible plastic that are made to withstand side and bottom impacts.

There are several innovations to the trucking industry – one of the latest additions is improved trailer side skirts.  The new trailer skirts are made from aluminum skins and steel braces.  Sixteen inches of flexible rubber ensure that the trailer skirts pass without being damaged by roadway obstructions such as large snow piles and railroad crossings.  Not only will the trailer skirts help to reduce truck repair and maintenance, but they are also fuel efficient.

Another innovation to the trucking industry is a trailer undertray system that is a device aimed at reducing drag associated with trailer underside components. The innovative truck part features wheel and suspension fairings as well as a rear fairing and aero rain gutters.  This amazing truck part works by compressing and accelerating incoming air flow while injecting high energy air into trailer wake. This truck device can greatly reduce trailer drag.

Finally, lightweight walls are another trucking innovation that is on the horizon.  Lightweight walls are made of a polypropylene-and-fiberglass core sandwiched by skins of resin and gelcoat.  It can be cut to any needed length, usually up to 26 feet and it can greatly reduce fuel and truck repair costs.
