American Trucking Association Opposed to Freightliner Legislation in the Works

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

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.

Truck Repair Freightliner

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.

Tractor Trailer side skirts truck parts

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.
