Ford’s New Pickup Diesel - Hang On For The Power & Perhaps The Introduction!

September 8, 2009

REPORT: Ford's 6.7L Power Stroke to put out 400 HP and 725 pound-feet | green.autoblog.com

Ford Motor Company recently announced specifics regarding their new diesel engine they developed in-house. It’s got a bunch of power, but a successful product is much more than a new cool design. Many of us are pulling for the only US non-government motors player, but some loyalists are going to hit the “wait-a-while” button to see how it goes - for potentially good reason.

UPS Calls Looming Strike Vote a Gesture. Is it? | www.google.com

Some 1,400 Teamster mechanics who maintain planes for UPS's fleet of 263 cargo plays plan to hole a strike authorization vote next week. This comes at the start of the air cargo peak shipping season. A UPS spokesman downplays the chances of a strike, calling the authorization vote "contract posturing" with "absolutely no legal significance whatsoever."

Konecranes actions are a must rather than a strategy

September 6, 2009

Konecranes Starts Statutory Negotiations in Headquarter Functions in Hyvinkää | www.konecranes.com

KoneCranes has experienced a 40-50% decline in orders year over year and a restructuring plans in not only warranted but a must. The demand for cranes both in the industrial as well as construction and on/off-shore has declined so rapidly that unless drastic actions are taken companies as Kone and others including Demag and Terex are at risk for survival.

More California Truckers’ Road Ending In A Dead-End - Temperatures Are Rising!

September 2, 2009

California port truckers face deadline | www.etrucker.com

My friend Todd Dills wrote in the referenced CCJ article about how the fast-coming emissions regulations at the Los Angeles and Long Beach Ports will be enforced. There are the steep costs of equipment and noncompliance fines, but the real story involves the effect on small businesses and real people. Tempers and temperatures are rising - and it’s not from global warming. It is getting uglier at ground level.

No Moral Comparison / EU handouts to Airbus and Boeing business with Uncle Sam

August 31, 2009

WTO to rule next week on Airbus funding dispute | www.google.com

To state that a hand to Airbus from Germany , France and Britain is the moral equivalent to legitimate services rendered by Boeing to the US government is none sense . The Europeans must learn how to do business and compete in the real world and subsidies is immoral and anti-competitive. The European and EU Government complain about China and other Asian dumping laws yet they practice the same.

YRC Worldwide's Woes a Benefit to Arkansas Best LTL Unit

August 28, 2009

ABF in Talks With Teamsters | tdu.org

ABF Freight System, the largest operating unit of Arkansas Best Corp., is negotiating with the Teamsters unit over wage and pension concessions. ABF, the nation's sixth-largest LTL company with $1.83 billion revenue last year, operates in the same troubled, unionized, long-haul LTL segment that YRC Worldwide. Financially ailing YRC recently obtained a five-year 15 percent wage cut as well as an 18-month pension freeze, savings that could amount to nearly $900 million a year for YRC.

Teamsters: YRC gets little interest in New Penn | kansascity.bizjournals.com

In the referenced article, the Teamsters Union has told members that YRC Worldwide has been exploring the sale of Northeast Regional New Penn - their only profitable YRC division. Whether it’s a tactic to get the New Penn Teamsters to accept pays cuts or to really try to sell it (or both), it’s not a good omen.

Fewer Trucking Company Failures Now - In Spite Of Ourselves!

August 24, 2009

Trucking failures drop in 2nd quarter | www.etrucker.com

In the referenced article, Avondale Partners Senior Research Analyst Donald Broughton was noted seeing a dramatic reduction in trucking business failures in the 2nd quarter ’09 as compared to previous and year-over-year quarters. Also noted was the principal reason carriers are remaining in business - creditors are allowing otherwise insolvent companies to stay in business so that they don't have to take back used equipment. We agree that problems have slowed, but differ on some other points.
