FixonRoad.com™ keeps you up to date on the latest news in the trucking industry.  Big rigs and heavy haulers that transport loads of more than 120,000 pounds gross combination weight (GCW) need to specify their trucks properly with regard to durability and power. Trucks that are not specified correctly may impact fuel mileage and increase acquisition costs.  Additionally, trucks marked incorrectly may not be powerful enough to move the load and may increase truck repair and truck maintenance costs. It is crucial to find the correct balance between the truck’s job requirement and the expected annual mileage.  This balance will help to produce the lowest operating cost per mile.

Heavy haulers can select a truck engine after-treatment approach that utilizes Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology in conjunction with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).

To complicate matters even more, this year 2010 federal truck engine emissions standards in the US and Canada may require heavy haulers to make revisions to their current trucking equipment configurations.

There are currently two choices of truck engine technologies – Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).  The choice will impact truck performance and operating costs over the lifetime of the truck. 

Heavy haulers can select a truck engine after-treatment approach that utilizes Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology in conjunction with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).

Increased Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) boosts the amount of exhaust gases in the engine cylinder.  Then it slows and cools the combustion process to burn off pollutants.  This method requires greater truck engine cooling capacity as well as an increase in the amount of fuel to be injected.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), on the other hand, does not utilize heat from the truck engine to treat emissions.  Therefore, SCR based truck engines offer the advantage of greater fuel economy.

It is a good idea for heavy haulers choosing SCR to also be sure to take into consideration Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank capacity and placement designed for heavy haulers. This will help to ensure that heavy haul operators maintain truck wheelbase and body configurations.

It seems that many older heavy duty trucks, tractor trailers, freightliners, buses, recreational vehicles (RV) and reefers are being wholesaled.

In a recent FixonRoad.com™ Truck Repair and Services blog entry, it was reported that more than 50% of owners of 1 year old heavy duty truck engines have had needed truck repair services to correct problems with truck emissions.

Strangely enough, used truck sales fell 20 percent from June to July of 2010.  It seems that even with the dip in sales, used truck sales are still 43 percent above 2009.

A major factor in the decision to purchase a used truck lies in the cost of truck repair services.  It’s not always easy to tell if a used truck is in need of costly truck repair services.  When purchasing a used truck you can be sure that you will need to inspect the vehicle fully.  However, sometimes future truck repairs are not so easy to predict.

It seems that many older heavy duty trucks, tractor trailers, freightliners, buses, recreational vehicles (RV) and reefers are being wholesaled.

This trend of wholesaling fleets of used trucks will surely result in an increase in the need for truck repair parts and truck repair services.

It seems that heavy duty truck engines of 2010 are more environmentally friendly, but also more problematic.

Do you own a new tractor trailer, freightliner, bus, recreational vehicle (RV) or reefer ?  Maybe you own an entire fleet of new trucks.  Are you experiencing any problems with your new heavy duty truck?

Well, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2010 U.S. Heavy-Duty Truck Engine and Transmission Study more than 50% of owners of 1 year old heavy duty truck engines have had needed truck repair services to correct problems with truck emissions.

This is nearly double the amount of problems truck owners of 2 year old truck engines experienced.

It seems that heavy duty truck engines of 2010 are more environmentally friendly, but also more problematic.  This means that the trucks of 2010 will need more roadside truck repair services including Mobile Repair Service, Mobile Trailer Service, Trailer Repair and more Truck Repair Towing.

The most commonly reported truck engine problems are concerned with electronic control module calibration and the exhaust gas recirculation valve.  These truck issues can lead to several other problems that present a reason for concern to truck owners.

Much of the long-distance refrigerated transport by truck is done using articulated trucks pulling refrigerated semi-trailers (reefers).

A ‘reefer’ refers to a refrigerator truck designed to carry freight at specific low temperatures.  Reefers are trucks with cooling systems.

A refrigerated semi trailer is a heavy truck for transporting goods that must be kept cold.  Reefers all contain refrigeration units.  A vent door is made of movable panels that are used to regulate the air intake.  Clearance lights indicate the form and dimensions of the specific reefer truck.  An upper side-rail is a truck part that in essence is a beam that runs the length of the upper frame of the reefer.  The rear reflector is a light-reflecting device that marks the back end of the reefer.  The lower side-rail is a beam that runs the length of the lower frame.  Support legs hold the semitrailer in a horizontal position.  A piece of metal that protects the end of the support leg of the reefer is called the sand shoe.  A front reflector marks the front end of the reefer using a light-reflecting device.
