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?

This Cottrell Carhauler Trailer which was our truck of the month has just sold..more good signs.
Yet another positive statistic about tonnage being up but I am still not all that sure that it has any real effect on the overall economy...still it is good news
