    Identifying a Bad Trucking Company- from a Truck Driver's Perspective

    Though the Auto Shipping Industry is thriving at present and it provides ample opportunities for many for those who aspires to become a truck driver, though some of these auto shipping companies gives a lot of perks and miscellaneous incentives, it is very important for every truck driver to equally evaluate the car shipping company before taking up the job. The last thing anyone would want is to get into the wrong management and waste their time and career. It is your duty as a truck driver to identify a bad company and differentiate from a good one.

    A recent survey was undertaken in which several truck drivers working under these firms were interviewed and asked the same questions. Some said a company is a bad one if they do not give the driver 3000+ miles a week. While some said they are paid very little for the amount of intense work they do and that sucks big time. And then you have a third set of members who complain that they barely get to see their families and spend quality time with them as the demands of the job is simply too much and the management of their firms are not able to have a proper plan or efficient strategy to make ends meet. As expected the trucking industry also faces a severe crisis situation due to long working hours, dangers involved in the nature of the work, driver retention, relatively low pay for drivers etc.

    We found the top reasons for identifying a bad auto shipping company to be

    1. Car Shipping Companies that don’t pay properly as there is negligence and irresponsibility on their administration’s part. It all comes down to attitude and even the slightest bit of mistake could easily put everything out of track and that is what exactly that happens in bad companies.
    2. Contact issues are another major issue faced by most trucking drivers as they find it difficult to contact their authorities or higher members involved in the administration board for clarifications. There is always a communication gap when it comes to bad trucking companies.

    What to glance for in a Car Shipping Company?

    Auto Transport Industry is one among the thriving industries off late. There are several auto transport companies in the market providing wonderful services around the world. And understandably the competition in the market for this business is quite high. As a Auto transport company owner it is very important that you stay on your heels and perform as efficiently as possible rendering some of the highest standards of services to survive this competition and stay ahead of the curve. Cars are private and personal property for many. Once it gets damaged, the repaired or the replaced piece is never the same as the one you used to own. It takes time for a person to get used to his/her car and this time for getting used to it depends upon the individual. Hence, you cannot afford to take the risk of going for an amateur service when it comes to auto transport industry.

    There are different kinds of auto transport services provided by many car transport companies. It may be wiser to always opt for an enclosed type carrier as it ensures better safety for your car. Some of these companies have both private car carriers and multi-car carriers that are both enclosed in terms of its design. It is quite mandatory for you to make use of such enclosed type carriers especially when you are transporting highly valuable, expensive and vintage cars. This is all the more necessary when it involves cross country journeys. Opting for a two tier enclosed carriers will help you save a lot on your budget. This implies that you can get the best possible service at a very affordable and cheap rate. However, in general opting for the enclosed type carrier is quite expensive as it also includes cargo insurance costs and you may find other options to be much cheaper that fits your budget. But then again, never compromise over quality for cheap price at any given day, especially when it concerns Car Shipping.

    2013 Porsche Panamera GTS - First Drive

    Porsche’s Panamera is now available as eight versions in the U.S. You can, for example, slide in at $75,200 for a 3.6-liter V-6 Panamera and get to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds. Or you can leave that in the dust with the $173,200 4.8-liter Turbo S, which hits 60 in 3.6 sec. Or perhaps you would like better to tip your green-tinted hat as you drive by in your $95,000 S Hybrid.

    So where does that put the newest variation, the $109,900 GTS. Porsche calls it, the sportiest of all Panamera models. That assert seems odd given the Turbo’s spot at the top of the horsepower and image list, but once you’ve driven the GTS, Porsche’s announcement makes sense.

    We were at the Ascari circuit in Spain to try the 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS, which was popping its split-second PDK shifts as soon we accelerated uphill away from the pits. You would need much of the Panamera schedule there to make back-to-back comparisons, but reasonably rapidly you can sense this one has a firmer edge. Point the nose to a summit and there’s a split second of confidence-inspiring under steer, but then the car sets and responds. Not that Panameras are known as leaners, but this one is even less so. You almost forget there are two supplementary seats behind you.
