Good News For Cottrell Carhaulers....Really

As carhaulers and Cottrell Trailer owners we are a very select group of specialized truckers. We do face many of the same issues that the rest of the trucking industry faces along with a host of things unique to us. Regardless we bombarded day after day with negative news. So, in lieu of that I am constantly scouring the transportation news for good news. Its been harder and harder to find it lately but it is there.

Truck orders are up 12%

Hah! This is undeniable evidence that someone, somewhere, is buying something from someone for some reason. How about that for a definition of capitalism. All kidding aside trucks are selling. In our office the rows of once full inventory are filled with gaps where carhauler trailers once sat before they were sold. This is good. This is like a blip on the economies heart monitor. After three years of economic upheaval we are still making it.

So how am I doing..isn’t it nice to hear good news?

Protect Your Cottrell Trailer from Hijackers!

Pulled and adapted from Transport Topics online
2011

One of the most well displayed and valuable transportation cargo is a fully loaded Cottrell Carhauler. Hijackers and chop shops would love the opportunity to separate you and your Cottrell car hauler from its special cargo. Some things are not avoidable but there are things you can do to reduce your risk and make it more difficult for professional criminals to victimize you. Here are some tips that were adapted from Transport Topics online.

* Lock your Cottrell cargo at all times. While a loaded Cottrell Carhauler is a big obvious target, well strapped loads can be deterrents for hijackers.

* Keep your Cottrell autotransport in sight at all times. Some crooks have been audacious enough to just back a cab under the trailer and take it.

* Be Careful not to announce when or where your Cottrell autotransport will be showing up on the CB, or to strangers.

* Be ready for any possible criminal scheme-even a broken headlight or a fender bender can be backdrops for hijackers to steal your cargo.

* Check your Cottrell car carrier for any distinguishing marks or signs. Hijackers use this to help mark targets for their crews.

I know what a lot of people are thinking, a loaded Cottrell is about 80 tons and stands out like a sore thumb. Yes it is harder for a crook to steal an autotransport but they are getting more and more audacious. I read recently how thieves stole multiple tractor trailer loads of tomatoes in broad daylight and still haven’t been caught. How far could they have possibly gotten with TONS of ripe perishing tomatoes in hot trailers…but they did..
