I've been doing a great deal of research on the trucking industry in general and found a great resource in www.trucksbringit.com. It is sponsored or was created by the American Trucking Associations. Trucks Bring It is about reminding the public that trucks bring their daily items for life.
Some people complain about trucks being too large and not environmentally friendly. They go so far as to wish trucks were no longer on the roads. I don't think those people complaining have stopped to think about how it would impact their life if they got their wish and trucks disappeared. How would they get their food, clothes, medicine, and daily items for living? Would they order it through the mail? Nope. Because even though a small truck comes to the house; a big one picked up their items and hundreds of other items at the airport.
Trucking companies and the industry in general are looking at ways to be green by consolidating loads and even working with other carriers to do so. More information about SmartWay Partnerships sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency can be found at their website www.epa.gov/smartway/.
It's interesting to think about simple things more in-depth.
P.S. I don't have a TV, so this is how I spend my time. I don't drive a truck nor do I own a trucking company. Just sharing some information for anyone interested in the industry, so you don't have to google till the cows come home, like I did.
