Freight Brokering Site Touts Benefits of Freight Trains amid Trucker Protests

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2008 -- FreightBrokering.info, a Web site that offers information about the freight brokering industry, is publicizing the advantages of freight trains amid protests over rising fuel costs in the global trucking industry.

General freight trucking across the globe continues to become more expensive for truckers, leading to higher costs of goods and services for consumers. This is evidenced by the recent protests in London, where approximately 1,000 truck drivers converged to protest rising fuel prices, disrupting traffic and putting pressure on government officials. With the rapidly rising cost of general freight trucking, FreightBrokering.info would like to promote the benefits of freight trains, which are cheaper and leave minimal impact on the environment.

Aside from the protests in London, the state of general freight trucking is also looking gloomy in the United States. Approximately 70 percent of U.S. freight tonnage moves on trucks over the highways, including a great number of diesel-powered tractor-trailers from the 350,000 independent operators in the nation. Profit margins for these companies are at all-time lows, as more than 45,000 vehicles have disappeared from the highways since early last year, according to America's Commercial Transportation Research.

It is a tough time for the freight brokering industry, but the team at FreightBrokering.info sees this as a time for freight brokers to make a shift in thinking. With the rising cost of fuel across the planet, freight trains are presenting an attractive alternative to trucks. Freight trains are highly economic under the right circumstances, and also more energy efficient than transporting freight by road. This method of shipment is most cost-effective when freight is being carried in bulk and over long distances.
