Trucking’s main fuel drops

, , , , , , , , 0

Third week of declines cuts against expectations that trucking’s main fuel prices would surge higher because of low inventories. But supplies of the fuel now are up on weaker-than-normal demand, so that pressure point seems to have abated. The U.S. average price for diesel fuel has dropped for the third week in a row, defying expectations that trucking’s main fuel would surge on fall-to-winter inventories that dipped recently to a nationwide supply of less than a month.Read More

FMCSA noted it must consider how technology has changed freight brokerage, the roles of bona fide agents, and other parts of the freight transportation industry. FMCSA is examining the role dispatch services play in the transportation industry.

The critical role of financial responsibility in broker regulation FMCSA clarified that handling money exchanged between shippers and motor carriers is a factor that strongly suggests the need for broker authority.

There was a split among freight transportation stakeholders on whether the current definition of broker was adequate. Another stakeholder representing the household goods motor carrier industry asked FMCSA to clarify that merely selling leads does not require an entity to obtain broker authority. Fide agents could represent multiple motor carriers without having discretion as to how to allocate freight between motor carriers.

Logistical considerations have always played a strategic role in business. Among retailers and wholesalers, they transcend inventory management and transportation to include one of the most critical factors in business success—location in relation to markets or sources of supply. Logistics concerns itself with matters as basic as plant location, sourcing of raw materials, and standards of customer service. In recent years, changes in the business environment have forced companies both large and small to pay particularly close attention to how this function relates to others.  Logistics can spell the difference between success and failure in business. Logistics-oriented strategies are also important in large companies. hey all involve decisions that are long-term in their implications.Read More

Flatbed drivers

Flatbed drivers usually haul over-sized or wide-load items. You might be transporting building supplies, like lumber, steel coils, shingles, and pipe. Flatbed drivers jobs are a little different than other lines of trucking. They’re a little more demanding and can be more hazardous. But on the other hand, these jobs usually pay more than average trucking jobs. Many flatbed drivers feel that the risk is worth the reward. And if you’re a skilled and experienced driver, this may be just the challenge you’ve been looking for. Most of the time, your large freight will be loaded with forklifts or cranes. Securing your load is a skill you’ll have to acquire quickly.

The regulations

The regulations are strict on the types of tie downs you use and how many.

Tarping is another technique that requires some learned skill. Not all loads require tarps, but the ones that do must be covered a certain way. That’s where some of those canvas kits and tarp systems come in handy. Any covers you use have to be secured just as well as the freight. Imagine losing a giant tarp that lands on a vehicle behind you. It can be just as dangerous as losing cargo. It’s true flatbed trucking jobs are quite a bit more demanding than others.

In 2022, as shippers and their trucker partners struggled without Logistics service. Consumers are spending. Inflation feeds fears of a recession. Spot trucking rates have fallen, but contract rates remain high. Fuel prices have dropped a good deal since mid-year. Both shippers and truckers are feeling their way through this new environment. They are trying to keep operations profitable while planning for a future. One trend our market research survey reveals is that while trucking capacity is somewhat more available than it was a year ago, that hasn’t reduced the cost of shipping freight by truck.

Logistics services

A conviction is slowly growing among shippers that they need to maintain strong relationships with both their carriers and third-party intermediaries. Twenty-nine percent of shippers consider the shipper-carrier relationship most important. Some carriers are seeking to secure more capacity for their customers while also bolstering the bottom line with an additional revenue stream. In 2021, the two biggest challenges for shippers were reducing transport cost and finding capacity. That’s true in 2022 as well, although the emphasis has shifted a bit. Full truckload (TL) remains the most ubiquitous form of trucking service: 85% of our survey respondents stand ready to haul a trailer filled with product. If you have a smaller load, 65% of trucking companies in the survey can offer less-than-truckload (LTL) service. Seventy-one percent can promise reliable capacity through dedicated contract carriage. If you need a partner that can move your loads on other truckers’ assets as well as its own. You might contact the 78% of respondents that provide logistics services or the 73% that serve as transportation brokers.
