Bodine Holds Off Crawford, Benson In 3-Wide Talladega Truck Finish
2007-12-05 10:53:00
Todd Bodine barely held off Rick Crawford and Johnny Benson in a three-wide finish Saturday in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. Bodine, the reigning Truck champion, was out front for a restart with two laps to go on the 2.66-mile oval, with Crawford and Benson close behind in a single-file line of competitors. It stayed that way until the final corner of the 94-lap race, when Crawford drove high on the steeply banked track and Benson, a former series champion, ducked below Bodine. That’s the way they drove across the finish line, with Bodine beating Crawford by 0.014 seconds — about the length of a hood. Benson was 0.028 seconds behind the winner, with Jason Leffler, in fourth, also less than a second behind Bodine. “We only made one change in practice to make this Toyota Truck run better,” said Bodine, who started from the pole. “It was awesome.” The wild race included several crashes, the biggest of which came o...

Judge Sets Deadline For FEMA Trailer Tests
2007-12-05 10:35:00
A federal judge has set a deadline for FEMA to come up with a plan to test the air quality in Trailer s. That plan must be in place by Dec. 17. The government was scheduled to start testing in November, but that was postponed because scientists said they needed more time to prepare. People who live in Trailers said the delay is putting their health at risk.

Unhealthy truckers try to shape up
2007-11-13 13:38:00
Truck drivers — the people who deliver our food, cars and clothing — have one of the most dangerous jobs in America — accounting for nearly 15 percent of U.S. work-related deaths. And that’s only counting the accidents. They are also more at risk than average Americans for a number of health problems. Obesity is rampant. Many don’t bother to wear seatbelts because their stomachs get in the way. About one in four have sleep apnea. Half of them smoke. The latest research in an upcoming report drives home those points and may help influence government regulations for truck drivers’ health, which are under review. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is considering tightening its rules for conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure. And many companies are stepping up their own efforts at improving health. “It takes a while to undo years and years and years of unhealthy behavior,” said Christie Cullinan of the American...

States restrict Truck traffic
2007-11-13 12:26:00
A move is on across the USA to unsnarl interstate highways where escalating Truck traffic is adding to congestion and rattling drivers of passenger cars. Truck-only lanes and a plan to divert some Truck cargo to ships along the Atlantic Coast are among the initiatives getting scrutiny from state and federal agencies. About 75,000 more big rigs cruise onto already crowded highways every year. Florida has already taken action, banning Big Trucks from the far left lane of Interstate 4 on a 60-mile stretch between Tampa and Orlando. Stretches of I-75 and I-95 elsewhere in Florida have similar restrictions. Elsewhere: •Georgia, where Truck traffic is likely to grow by more than 50% over the next 20 years, is considering Truck-only toll lanes on parts of I-75 northwest of Atlanta and on a 20-mile stretch of the I-285 beltway that surrounds the city. •Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are using a $5 million federal grant to study adding truck-only lanes on I-70 from Kansas City to C...

More Diesel Cars on the way
2007-11-13 12:04:00
Representatives from a number of car companies say high diesel prices will not deter them from introducing Diesel vehicles in coming years. Diesel engines get 20% to 40% better mileage than similar-size gasoline engines and even at current prices would save the average driver hundreds of dollars in fuel costs. Currently, only Mercedes-Benz sells multiple diesel models in the USA — one sedan and three SUVs, all priced $1,000 more than similar gasoline models. “Our diesel customer research shows that total cost of ownership, factoring purchase price, fuel economy and cost, maintenance and resale value, has greater influence than diesel fuel cost in isolation,” says Keith Price, spokesman at Volkswagen of America, which is reintroducing its diesel models next year, after a one-year hiatus to engineer its diesel engines to meet tougher U.S. pollution standards. “There is a belief that prices will moderate,” says Larry Dominique, vice president in charge of prod...

Businesses, Truckers feel pain of higher Diesel prices
2007-11-13 11:36:00
Linda Dague is offering free shipping to entice customers to order from her 2-year-old company, which sells clothing and other items for premature babies. Lately, Dague has started to question her decision. Shipping costs have risen 20% in the last year and look likely to rise even more. That has put pressure on her margins. “The way shipping is going, it’s a fine line between making money and losing money,” says Dague, president of Colorado Springs-based Anna’s, which was named after her granddaughter, Aurianna, who was born prematurely and just celebrated her 12th birthday. Diesel prices have surged in recent weeks to record levels, putting a strain on truck drivers, businesses and, potentially, the economy, at a time when economic activity is already slowing. The nationwide average price for a gallon of diesel was $3.30 last week, breaking the previous record set following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Energy Department said. That was up nearly 15 cents...

Company slashes tuition for Truck-Driver Training
2007-11-13 11:14:00
A Truck ing company trying to deal with a nationwide shortage of Truck drivers is using a state grant to re-duce the tuition charged for driver training. Watkins & Shepard Trucking Co. cut the usual $4,000 tuition to $1,000. The company expects students to make an initial payment of $250 and pay the balance through weekly installments of $15. The reduction follows a $315,000 state grant received by the company, which expects the state assistance to be an incen-tive for the training of 63 new drivers. Training costs have been a significant obstacle to driver recruitment, said Ray Kuntz, chief executive of Watkins & Shepard, which has terminals in Helena, Missoula and Billings. Students are screened before they start the four-week training, and they are guaranteed jobs if they complete it success-fully. In 2006, the average first-year pay for a Watkins & Shepard driver topped $43,300. An American Trucking Association study in 2006 found the country short about 20,000 truck ...

Grant helps Missoula firm train more Truckers
2007-11-13 10:50:00
As a shortage of truck drivers looms nationwide, Watkins and Shepard Trucking will use a $315,000 state grant to offer reduced tuition at its truck-driving school. The award from the Montana Department of Commerce will allow the Missoula-based company to train and employ 63 newly created truck-driving positions. It enables Watkins and Shepard to remove one of the significant barriers to people wanting to come into the industry — training costs, said Ray Kuntz, chief executive officer of Watkins and Shepard. The normal tuition of $4,000 will be reduced to $1,000. New students will only have to pay $250 down to start and the remaining $750 is repaid over one year at a rate of $15 per week. All Watkins and Shepard students are prescreened so they have a guaranteed job offer in hand when they start training. In the last 24 months Watkins and Shepard has trained and employed 71 Montanans through its basic commercial motor-vehicle operator training course. Kuntz said truck driving is co...

About $85K collected this year from Overweight Trucks
2007-11-12 11:54:00
Newark has twice the law enforcement patrolling for overweight commercial vehicles than it did during this time in 2006, and the fines collected are offsetting some of the damage to the roads, city and county officials said. In January, Newark police dedicated a full-time officer, Patrolman Troy Cochran, to weighing and inspecting trucks that drive on city streets, joining Licking County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Gus Moore, who covers the city and the rest of the county. Since then, the two have combined to ticket commercial drivers to the tune of about $85,000, according to documents provided by the county engineer’s office and the municipal clerk of courts. The funds, depending on who collects them, either go to the county or the city. Craig Smith, staff assistant at the Licking County Engineer’s Office, said the total revenue brought in by Moore’s efforts and permits sold to truckers totals about $80,000 annually. That money goes to the road and bridge fund,...

Toyota Launches New Corporate Advertising Campaign
2007-11-12 09:08:00
Toyota launched a new corporate advertising campaign, highlighting the company’s economic impact, environmental commitment, and social responsibility. Built around the question “Why Not?”, the campaign will include print and online ads, as well as a new television commercial directed by an Academy-award winning cinematographer. Toyota will be the exclusive advertiser tonight on “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams,” where the television ad will debut. “Since we began corporate advertising, we have focused on educating Americans about Toyota and our growing presence here,” said Steve Sturm, group vice president of Toyota Motor North America. “But on our 50th anniversary in America, we have an opportunity to broaden our message and show how the core Toyota values drive everything that we do. People want to learn more about who we are as a company.” The campaign’s new television commercial is based on the “Earth Art&rdq...

Lights’ duty: No flashing allowed
2007-11-12 06:54:00
Traffic lights won’t be flashing on the Northwest Arterial QUESTION: Why can’t the stop lights on the Northwest Arterial flash yellow for the Arterial and red for the cross traffic from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m? For those of us who send deliveries out early in the morning to avoid traffic we find our Delivery Trucks stopping needlessly for no cross traffic. This would not only save time and fuel, it also would allow traffic to flow smoother on off hours. ANSWER: The lights will not be flashing on the Northwest Arterial anytime soon. “We keep the signals in operation during the night because flashing the lights yellow along a major arterial such as the Northwest Arterial leads to a lot of confusion among drivers,” said David Ness, a civil engineer with the city of Dubuque. Many drivers react differently to the flashing lights. “Some drivers come to a complete stop while others drive through them like they are green lights,” Ness said. “Drivers waitin...

Trucks, boats and nukes
2007-11-08 01:04:00
It has been nearly six years since President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin memorably tooled around Bush’s Texas ranch in a pickup truck and discussed missile defense. That was shortly after Bush famously said he had glimpsed Putin’s soul and felt that he and the Russian leader had a bond of trust. And it was before the Iraq War, which Putin opposed, and before Putin compared U.S. foreign policy to Nazi Germany’s. The missile defense system never materialized. A few days ago, the two leaders had another go at it, meeting this time in Kennebunkport, Maine, at the Bush family compound, where they zoomed around in a speedboat with the elder President Bush. They also fished, played fetch with their dogs — Putin brought along his Labrador — and scooted around on Segway transporters. There’s no rule requiring that world leaders do guy things while ironing out issues — nor any guarantee of outcome — but it is a fact that men communicate best while...

Rollover crash victim rescued, hospitalized
2007-11-07 18:40:00
Emergency crews struggled to extricate the victim of a rollover accident from her vehicle which flipped on Interstate-5 near Rogue River late Sunday afternoon. The 44-year-old woman was the sole occupant of the small white SUV that tumbled multiple times before coming to rest in the northbound fast lane about two miles south of Rogue River Exit 48 at about 4:45 p.m. Crews from Rogue River Fire District #1 rescued the woman by using the “jaws of life” to remove the back door of the victim’s vehicle, said Firefighter John Moore. The single-car accident backed up traffic on northbound I-5 lanes near Valley of the Rogue State Park for about a half mile as travelers were funneled into the interstate’s slow lane and shoulder. Oregon State Police arrived on scene during the rescue effort, which took about one hour. The cause remains under investigation. The victim was transported to Rogue Valley Medical Center, her condition was listed as stable late Sunday night.

e-Bay Motors India, an online business-to-business (B2B) market place, has said it would focus on trading in used heavy commercial vehicles (HCV) such as Trucks and Trailers in Punjab and Haryana . “Punjab and Haryana are the largest contributors of HCV and Trailers on B2B platform.

Mexican Trucks deliver in U.S.
2007-11-05 13:44:00
The American Truckers, environmentalists and politicians who are sounding the alarm about the potential dangers of allowing Mexican Tractor-Trailers onto U.S. interstate highways rarely mention an important fact: hundreds of Mexican-plated trucks already deliver cargo all over the United States, and have done so for years. Teamsters union members have waged angry protests, waving signs saying “NAFTA Kills” and “Unsafe Mexican Trucks .” But more than 1,000 south-of-the-border companies are already allowed to drive cargo beyond the border zone under a long-standing exemption to the U.S. moratorium. And these Mexican drivers and Trucks have had better driver and vehicle safety records than their U.S. counterparts in recent years, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation — although opponents say many violations never get recorded because of sloppy government record-keeping. “We are the same as they are. They think that we drink beer, use drug...

Cars with Trailers face city ban
2007-11-05 13:28:00
CARS carrying Trailers could be banned from Dublin as part of a review of the city s ban on heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). A report to be presented to councillors next Thursday will recommend that the ban be extended to include four-axle vehicles from mid-2009, with council officials saying it could extend to a car and trailer. But employers group IBEC has claimed it was never consulted on the proposal. In a statement last night, it said the council had proposed “major changes” to the current ban with no explanation, no consultation and without a cost-benefit analysis being carried out. “This process must be followed before such a crucial decision is made. Setting policy in the absence of evidence or consultation is unlikely to lead to good decisions,” it said. A review of the HGV strategy found that 4,100 five-axle HGVs a day have been removed from the city since the port tunnel was opened last December and the ban came into effect last February.

2007 SUV Roundup
2007-11-02 09:09:00
Sales of SUVs declined across the board in 2006 due to increased environmental concerns among consumers combined with major gas price fluctuations. Automakers are not, however, turning a deaf ear to this new environmental awareness. Stabilizing gas prices are also helping to bring consumers back into the SUV showrooms. Newly designed “crossover” SUVs, half car/half truck, are surfacing from all the major manufacturers. Ford’s new Edge, GMC’s Acadia, and Saturn’s Outlook are new models hoping to score points with conscientious consumers. High-end manufacturers are also upping the stakes as Cadillac releases a newly designed Escalade and Mercedes releases a high end GL-Class SUV which outperforms the lower priced R-Class SUVs. If these new models will be able to survive in a marketplace becoming more environmentally conscious remains to be seen. Automakers are hoping the utility and practicality of these vehicles will outweigh their negative image.

GIVE YOUR CAR A FACELIFT

I am obsessed with my car. No it isn’t anything ‘flash’, but it has been reliable, I like the colour and it is comfortable to drive long distances. Just lately, I had been seriously thinking of selling it and buying something quite new. When I went online, to see what I could find in my price range, there were so many gorgeous motor vehicles, I just could not decide. I thought I would buy and sell online, but after doing some sums, I decided to make my little car more comfortable, by changing a few things inside and out. I was not too sure what enhancements I wanted, but I did know that I wanted to keep the interior and exterior of my car looking like new. Because I spend a lot of my time in my vehicle and drive more kilometres each year, I wanted comfort, luxury and a new appearance. By doing a few small things and by rejuvenating my second largest investment, I solved my dilemma, and you can too. There are so many upholstery services available for cars, and just a quick sear...

Exhaust Systems
2007-10-11 12:42:00
An exhaust system reduces pollutant gases generated by combustion in the engine from being emitted. The remaining exhaust gases are then discharged at a suitable place on the vehicle (the exhaust). On most stock production cars, the manufacturers try to make the exhaust system as quiet as possible. They do this to try and please most people. But if you’re the kind of person who likes a car to be loud, an aftermarket exhaust system is the way to go. An exhaust system is made up of mostly 3 parts Catalytic converter A catalytic converter is an exhaust gas cleaning devise used to reduce the toxicity of the emissions from an internal combustion engine. For spark ignition engines, the most widely used catalytic converter is the three way converter. It is mounted as close to the engine as possible so the engine can reach its optimum temperature and therefore being more efficient in normal day to day driving conditions. Exhaust emissions play a big part in the passing of a mot test in Gr...

Nitrous Oxide

When most people see the words Nitrous Oxide they think of speeding cars and engines blowing up. But what is this magical substance and how does it work? Nitrous oxide is an oxidising agent used to increase horsepower by allowing the faster burning of fuel. It should be referred to as nitrous or nitrous oxide and not Nos, as Nos is the name of a company that manufacturers it (nitrous oxide systems). Nitrous oxide is basically the same as air in terms of chemistry and the molecules it consists of, the only difference being it has a higher percentage of oxygen at around 36 %. Nitrous oxide allows more fuel to be burnt in a shorter space of time because of the extra oxygen it produces, and it is the more fuel being burned that releases the power, not the nitrous. Types of nitrous systems Dry nitrous system A dry nitrous system means only nitrous oxide is injected into the intake and no other fuel. Extra fuel is required and this can be supplied by increasing the pressure in the fuel in...

Marijuana seized in truck hauling cookies from Texas
2007-10-01 08:47:00
CLEVELAND (AP) - The only thing missing was the Mountain Dew. Three men were arrested early Friday after more than 600 pounds of marijuana was found wrapped in plastic in a truck carrying Chips Ahoy! cookies from Texas to Ohio. Police Lt. Thomas Stacho said the men, from southern Texas, were jailed pending formal drug trafficking charges. The marijuana was in the sleeper part of the cab of the truck, separate from the cookie crates in the cargo hold. The arrests were part of a three-month investigation. About two weeks ago, police, deputies and state agents made a similar drug bust when hundreds of pounds of marijuana was found in a truck hauling frozen broccoli. Police believe that in both instances the marijuana originated in Mexico.
