A Natural Gas Cottrell Trailer...Not Quite Yet

Natural Gas Powered Cottrell Trailers

I am still yet to see any program coming down the pike for natural gas powered carhaulers or Cottrell Trailers...but I know it will be here eventually. I am reading about 5 large trucking companies that are starting natural gas programs. One huge reason for this is that there is a larger and larger network of natural gas refueling stations. Potentially this will allow more and more companies to utilize natural gas in their cottrell trailers.

The five companies using natural gas are:

1. Saddle Creek Logistics Services,Lakeland, FL
2. Premier Transportation, Atlanta, GA
3. Hoopes Turf Farm, Transport Division, Ulysses, PA
4. Lily Transportation Corp., Needham, MA
5. Lancaster Foods, Jessup, MD

Another Scam In Transportation: Tire Scam

Beware The Tire Scam

According to Modern Tire Dealer a fictitious company called Canstruct Inc has been ordering tires from dealers and other shops but has no intention of paying for them. They are just on paper and the web. While they have been using this scam for tires, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they might not try this with other products, services, trucking companies, etc..

One Way To Prepare For High Diesel Prices

 What is 'Diesel Natural Gas'

Now you're talking. According to Trucking News, Peake fuel solutions has a product that will allow the ISX15 Cummins Engine to run a mixed fuel cocktail of Liquid Natural Gas or Compressed Natural Gas with diesel while still allowing a truck to go back to 100% diesel. The system does require a conversion kit but the potential savings and flexibility far outweigh the cost. With a fuel price future that is very very uncertain this can protect you from getting overwhelmed by high diesel prices

More information on Diesel price increases

Just a followup to the previous post on diesel price increases at a recent high I pulled a few things from the Department of Energy site that give a visual depiction of the situation.

This is the official breakdown of diesel costs.

Here is a chart showing the volatile nature of diesel in 2012

Diesel On The Rise...

Is it a sign of things to come? or is diesel risingbecause of the need to add pressure on voters as we approach an election. I dont know, but nothing will make a voter discontent than watching more of their disposable income flow into their tank penny by penny,even if it is just affecting truckers at this poing with the recent rise

According to Transport Topics, diesel is at a four year high which is quite remarkable since their are

• less trucks on the road
• less drivers on the road
• less consumption
• lower consumer expenditures
• Mild hurricane season (affects Gulf of Mexico shipping)
• And lots more......

All things that should cause a price drop or at least balance out any price increases but that is not the case. So we will to wait unitl late November to see if the price corrects.
