For a century, trucking has been the safest and most reliable form of goods-transportation in the United States. Almost 80% of the U.S. domestic freight revenue comes from heavy trucks. However, as we move through the 21st century, many problems have arisen that threaten the trucking industry. In order for a solution to be found, we need to thoroughly understand all aspects of one of our biggest industries.

Class 8 trucks are used in relatively small fleets within the trucking industry that don't leave much room for profit margin. This along with the rising fuel prices and the dangers to the environment due to toxic emissions make it very hard to justify the need for trucking. The goal would be to have less dependence on oil by creating an efficient system that ultimately doesn't hurt the environment.

Although new energy efficient technologies are a great idea, little is known as to how effective they really are especially in relation to the trucking industry. The FTP and UDDS cycles are effective measurements but don't reflect real-world driving situations.

The D.O.E. would be very helpful if they knew more information about the trucking industry. New hours-of-operation rules, anti-idling, and reoccurring congestion are just a few of the things truckers need to account for. If this type of information could be delivered to bodies such as the D.O.E. and the trucking industry, we can analyze it from there, and create a better, more efficient system that works.

Other agencies would be able to support safety enhancements, look into ways to reduce emissions and analyze operations protocols.
