A Trucker's Green Transportation Solution List
A Trucker's ViewpointThe things I would consider paramount to bettering the quality of life for the population as a whole and the driving population of over the road truckers in specific, are contained herein.The transportation industry is besieged with issues which are not conducive to the environment. Some of these issues are controlled by the drivers of vehicles, some are controlled by owners of the vehicles. Of the issues controllable by the driver, I feel education of what will increase productivity and lower fuel burn is a starting point. Some of those solutions which can be learned by the DRIVER include:Progressive shifting
The torque range of his/her particular vehicle
Practical routing
Vehicle idling
Some of the issues controlled by the TRUCK OWNER include:
Top Long-Haul Trucking SolutionsLiquid Propane Gas (LPG) is a non-foreign energy source of fuel which also eases toxic output from engines. LED lights last longer, use less electricity [thereby decreasing the workload of the electrical system of the vehicle] and are much more visible. Aerodynamic buffers to make blunt surfaces smoother. SUMMARYTrucking is the artery system of goods delivery in the United States. Only by tackling the SYSTEM of how the components of that system work and how many goods we expect to have flow to our communities or our doorsteps can we reduce the number of trucks on the road...or the speed at which we expect them to drive. Or the cost. Or the environmental impact of shipping as a whole. Trucking is only one component of the goods movement system -- rail, shipping, air, storage and distribution are also significant contributors to the system.By addressing both the purpose of trucking and the methods of trucking, we can address this transportation system effectively.
