This headline form Transport Topics online shows an indication of the inflationary tendencies that the Federal Government is now discussing.

A few fleets are starting to raise driver pay, as freight demand and the need for more drivers increase this spring, reversing the pattern of the past couple of years that kept    wages  steady or reduced them, the National Transportation Institute said.

Pack n send has noticed an increase in factory orders. As these orders are delivered, more freight drivers will be added to fleets.  With higher demand experienced freight drivers will request higher wages.  Freight companies are still very cost conscious. As with the ocean shipments, freight trucks will try and ship only full loads. This will save on fuel costs.

Companies are also watching speed, and fuel efficiency. New wheel covers used to reduce the drag, and thus improve fuel efficiency are being added to many trucks that carry freight.
