Introduction Technological advances in the trucking industry are moving ahead at a very rapid pace and this is due to several reasons. Much of the innovation is coming from industry to squeeze out more productivity and achieve greater economies of scale in a quest for efficiency and profits. Some of the innovation is coming from environmental movements and regulations to prevent pollution. Still many new technologies are born out of safety issues and together for all these reasons we see research and development in the transportation sector we find adequate money flows for both radical new ideas and incremental increases in current technologies; the is lots R&D in Trucking. Today we see alternative fuels, new materials, virtual reality simulators, advanced aerodynamic designs, increased efficient engines, stability control systems, virtual dashboards, real-time GPS monitoring, efficient routing software and tire pressure in cab monitoring as just a few of the rapidly increasing technologies in the trucking industry and we will discuss them in this book. 5 | P a g e If a trucking company or any independent operator can save one half to 2 miles per gallon on an 18 wheeler, then the cost savings is well worth the money to upgrade. Lighter materials, better aerodynamics and more efficient motors are a prime concern of anyone in the transportation sector. Safety is also a huge issue in trucking due to insurance costs, downtime and lawsuits. Because of the shortage of truck drivers, which is now over 150,000 faster training times using virtual reality simulators not only saves money and fuel, but also saves lives. All this equates to less cost per mile driven and greater efficiency and profits for independent truck drivers and corporate trucking companies. In the future trucks may drive them selves and deliver their cargo to their destinations and be completely monitored at all times, although that is still a long way off. In this book we will discuss thought-provoking and philosophical questions about the future concepts in technology for the trucking industry. I hope you will enjoy a future look at the road ahead in the transportation sector. I appreciate you taking the time to read this book. If you have any questions, comments, concepts, hate mail, research or case studies please feel free to e-mail them to us and perhaps we can make mention of them in our next edition or with your permission to include them in our next book. Thanks again. Sincerely, Lance Winslow Lance Winslow Hypersonic Future Realist (HFR) [email protected] 6 | P a g e Chapter I Where Are We Today Transportation History There is considerable evolution in modern day trucking and when we say evolution we are keying in off the theory as described by Evolutionists. In this theory evolution speaks of hunter- gatherer tribes roaming around, having seasonal patterns knowing where to find the food and transporting themselves by walking. Later agriculture based became prevalent as a more recent activity. And we know from written history of the last 10,000 years that mankind transported them selves for water, food, battle and later trade on the backs of animals, in the hulls of boats and on people powered apparatuses. In the America, as the colonies grew they built up the area, by building trails and roads. As the we grew from a group of colonies into Nationhood, soon we built inter coastal boat transportation, then trains, trolleys, barges, submarines, cars, trucks, buses, blimps, aircraft, helicopters, etc. Today transportation impacts every single part of our daily life and it is the Flow of Transportation, which is the one of the most important flows to insure quality of life and higher standards of living. Trucks because of there ability to go where there were no tracks grew as the transportation device of choice to deliver goods and services to market. Today without trucks nothing would reach its destination because if you bought it; A Truck Brought It! Indeed today we realize that if the trucks stopped our distribution system would collapse and there would be empty shelves in 5 days and riots in the streets within 7-10 days and people starving shortly after that. Not a pretty picture and thus we must study the transportation models of our Nation and continually look for ways to improve it and the trucks themselves. If you would like a better understanding of the history of trucking then I suggest that you peruse the 7 | P a g e American Trucking Association Website and learn the history and what is being done each and every day to improve safety, reliability, training, efficiency and maintain the flows of our civilization. Indeed, I also recommend touring some of the many fine trucking

  • Determinants of Female Labor Supply and Female Wage Form
    Master’s Program in Economic Growth, Population, and Development Determinants of Female Labor Supply and Female Wage Form A Quantitative Analysis on the factors that influence Female Labor Supply and Female Wage Form in the Labor Force of the Gambia. by Rohey Jammeh [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the factors that influence female's labor supply and their wage forms. Human capital, demographic, social, and cultural factors were used to explore their impact on female labor supply and female wage form using a multinomial logistic model. The data for this study were employed from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) conducted in the Gambia in 2013. The result indicated that women in the urban areas are more likely to be in the category working than worked in the past 12 months compared to rural women who are mostly involved in seasonal work. The result for wage form and area of resident implies that a change from rural to urban increases the person's chances of receiving wages in cash. Whiles the result for educational attainment and female labor supply implies that the chances of someone having primary education and been in seasonal work is higher than the person with no education. For education and wage form, the result implies that the chances of someone having no education and receiving in-kind wages are higher than the person with primary education. Thus, the need for government to implement targeted policies to avoid the exploitation of women in the labor force.
