Trucking Industry Journal Roemer Report Notes Increase in Surface Trade between US and NAFTA Partners
Toledo, OH (PRWEB) February 17, 2008 -- This month's issue of trucking industry journal The Roemer Report, addresses the increase in surface trade between the United States and its border countries, Canada and Mexico. Surface trade refers to movement of freight by truck, rail and pipeline. According to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, surface trade between the U.S. and its NAFTA partners reached record levels last year. In terms of economic trade, the U.S.-Canada border is the busiest in the world. However, some Canadian businesses and government officials say the increased congestion is wreaking economic havoc.
The Roemer Report is a monthly digest of news for the trucking industry read by fleet operators, owner-operators, and allied personnel. Often referred to as the "Kiplinger Letter of the Trucking Industry", the report has been published by Roemer Insurance for more than 30 years. The publication is distributed free of charge in both print and electronic formats and is archived on both Roemer Insurance web site and Insure My Rig, the small fleet division of Roemer Insurance.
The Roemer Report also notes that training rules are expected to tighten for student drivers working toward a CDL if a new proposal by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) becomes law. The proposal requires that all applicants for a CDL or upgraded CDL provide a valid certificate from an accredited truck driving program or institution.
The current edition of The Roemer Report discusses a trend in the trucking industry toward provision of time-definite delivery services. This is in response to increased demand for flexibility and control over delivery timeframes from big retailers and manufacturers. Also discussed is trucker frustration over inconsistent idling laws California's efforts to seek tougher emissions standards.
