How hard is the trucking industry being hit?



Diesel prices are going up at an unprecedented pace. The national average is now just under $4.50 per gallon and this is up .16 from a week prior and the overall price is up from $3.35 at the start of the year!

The number of trucking companies filing for bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2008 was up 1/5th from the first quarter of 2007 at almost one thousand companies

The impact on the nation and the global economy has ramifications which are severe, permanent and wide ranging. Seventy percent of the goods that Americans consume are trafficked from manufacturers to outlets to consumers by trucks. And this means that the price of all of these items is going to rise beyond just the rise from high inflation and many have already seen huge jumps in prices Go to the supermarket and you will already see this impact. Food prices are being hit by inflation, the artificial scarcity brought on by the shift of growing crops for food to growing crops for energy and the increased costs for the truckers to move food to the supermarket shelves.

The higher cost of trucking has also made our highways less safe. There are regulations that truckers are supposed to follow as to how long a duration they can be out on the road driving and how long that they have to rest in between shifts. Already, under more normal economic conditions, these regulations were routinely stretched. What is happening now, though, is that less financially stable trucking companies are going bankrupt which means that more load is having to be handled by fewer companies and less truckers. And also the profit margin for the truckers is being cut into by the cost of diesel which is rising faster than the government surcharges can compensate them for. So, in a very direct way, the increased price of diesel is costing lives right here in the USA. This is in addition to the lost lives due to biodiesel worldwide because of the shift from growing crops for food to growing crops for energy. Those number in the 10s of millions dieing from starvation and is a hushed up holocaust happening right now.

The havoc caused by the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve policies over the last eight years is going to be with us for decades. If we want to maintain anything close to the lifestyle that we have enjoyed in previous years then we need to get creative on the grassroots level with real solutions disseminated in the fastest way possible, which right now is the internet.

One such solution is Water4Gas.

is sharing information at a low price which people can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their automobile runs on.

The process makes smaller particles out of the particles that the system burns as fuel. Therefore the engine gets to use much more of the fuel.

By doing this you can minimumly expect to improve your fuel performance by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those particles "musta" been pretty "blankin'" huge in some systems before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can improve your fuel performance.

It also helps reduce emissions significantly.

This package of info has been purchased by over 10s of 1000s of individuals already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
