Freight Forwarding Companies Are Encouraged to Move Off The Roads

Freight Forwarding Companies Are Encouraged to Move Off The Roads

New funding designed to move the transportation of heavy freight off the roads will improve driving conditions between England and Scotland. Travellers driving from Scotland to England will find the roads much less busy after measures were introduced recently to move the forwarding of freight off the road and onto the railways.

The main reason why freight forwarding companies are being encouraged to use the railways instead of the roads is the issue of congestion.

Road congestion is getting worse in Scotland every year and this has a damaging effect on both the environment and people’s quality of life. Congestion is one of the primary causes of increased journey times which leads to passenger frustration and stress.

The Department for Transport and the FFG have contributed funds to help a number of major distributors forward freight between Coatbridge and Daventry by rail instead of by road. This is an attempt by the Scottish government to address the issue of congestion on the country’s roads.

The Department for Transport has also introduced a grant scheme to encourage freight forwarding companies to make the switch from road to rail transportation. The grant scheme gives financial support to freight forwarding companies who transport inter-modal containers by rail instead of by road.

There are currently around two hundred and sixty lorries a week that use Scotland’s busy roads to forward freight. The funding will help reduce the number of vehicles on the roads which will make life easier for holiday makers and business travellers.

The Scottish government has said that it is committed to encouraging freight forwarders to use railways and waterways rather than roads to transport goods around the UK. Indeed, 60 million lorry miles have been removed from Scottish roads since 1999.

Forwarding freight by rail and water instead of road also has environmental benefits. This combines with the need to reduce congestion to present a convincing case to freight forwarding companies about why they should move off the roads.

GBS Freight is a UK freight forwarding company.

Monday’s News Update

–Bryan and I will be back tonight covering Raw, taking your questions and discussing the latest news on Wrestling Observer radio. We have three new weekend shows up right now, a post-UFC 161, post WWE Payback and an hour plus show answering tons of questions about everything under the sun.

–The WWE web site has a video with Paul Heyman and C.M. Punk starting up the split between the two of them since Punk is now a babyface. Punk makes it clear that Heyman is not his manager or his legal representative, and that Heyman should stick with Brock Lesnar and Curtis Axel, who need him. Punk said he and Heyman are strictly friends.

–I guess we’ll see what happens with Mark Henry tonight. Could be a legit retirement, could be an angle. As noted earlier today, people I checked with had heard nothing about Henry retiring so if he is, it’s not something many were aware of ahead of time.

–Last night, in competition with Payback, the NBA finals did 14.16 million viewers. Miss USA, where Nikki Bella was a judge, did 4.56 million viewers.

–Regarding TripleMania, that didn’t air last night, Dorian Roldan said that UStream was sending out refunds to everyone that ordered and that the show would air for free at some point today at the www.luchalibreAAA.com ¹ web site (thanks to Des Delgadillo)

–Joe Bailey, the father of J.C. Bailey (who passed away in 2010), passed away due to complications from lung cancer at the age of 58 yesterday. He promoted Bad 2 the Bone wrestling in Kentucky (thanks to Brian Wescott, Adam Lash and many others)

–WWE related searches were in 6th place yesterday, at about the same level as UFC searches were the day before. That’s not good for UFC, which usually beats WWE searches by roughly the same margin it wins when it comes to PPV numbers. But nobody was expecting Saturday’s UFC show to do any big numbers.

–WWE returns to Ontario for TV with Raw being taped on 9/9 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and Smackdown on 9/10 in Ottawa.

–The next WWE show in Chicago will be Raw on 9/23.

–King Mo faces Seth Petruzelli on Wednesday night in the main event of Bellator’s first show on Spike without the benefit of a TNA lead-in. that makes for a very interesting rating. Bellator’s FightMaster reality show debuts on Wednesday night. I’ve seen the first episode and it was very good, and most everyone else who has seen it has written the same thing.

–The funeral information for former WCW wrestler Al Dobalo (Al Green) is that there will be a viewing from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday at the Blount & Curry Oldsmar West Hillsborough Chapel in Tampa. The funeral will be Thursday night at 7 p.m. at the same location.

–Chael Sonnen and Kenny Florian will be judges at the annual Hooter’s international swimsuit competition at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas on 6/27.

–As far as the Fuel schedule goes, Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin is at 7 p.m., and the live show from last year headlined by Stefan Struve vs. Stipe Miocic is at 8 p.m.

–A few notes from yesterday’s update. Jackie Fargo remains in critical condition. China Grove, the city Fargo has lived in forever, is in North Carolina, not South Carolina as listed yesterday. Also, the Tony Martin listed in a Texas title change from the early 60s was later better known as Assassin #1, Tom Renesto. (thanks to Crimson Mask)

–Regarding the Fandango song being played at Saturday’s Baltimore Orioles game, they actually did a wrestling themed day when it came to music. Every Oriole player came out to a wrestling song, including themes from Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, HHH, Ted DiBiase Sr., Big show, Val Venis, Too Cool and Chris Jericho (thanks to Kyle Luce)

–FWE is doing an iPPV on Friday night at 8 p.m. Eastern at www.wwnlive.com ²

Carlito Colon vs. John Hennigan (John Morrison) for FWE title

Tommy Dreamer vs. Rob Van Dam (this was made before RVD signed with WWE)

Paul London vs. Jimmy Akio Yang

Jigsaw & Tony Nese vs. Young Bucks

Angelina Love & Katarina Leigh (Winter) vs. Maria Kanellis & Ivelisse Velez

Brian Kendrick vs. Petey Williams

A Rumble

–Jerry Lawler’s first match back on 5/25 is available now at http://www.dory-funk.com ³ by clicking on Jerry Lawler Returns to the ring.

–On Friday night’s XFC show on AXS, in a lightweight match, Eric Reynolds gave Kevin Forant a Minoru Suzuki version Gotch piledriver right in front of ref Gary Copeland. The piledriver is, in fact, illegal in MMA (and Jim Cornette did not write that rule). It looked brutal. The ref didn’t call it. But Mike Schiavello, a huge wrestling fan, was calling the action and went crazy, although he didn’t reference Karl Gotch or Suzuki. (thanks to Michael Bernstein)

Gasrec, Volvo Trucks to Promote Gas Vehicles in UK>> LNG World …

Published Jun 18, 2013

Leading UK bio-fuel supplier Gasrec has teamed up with global heavy-duty truck manufacturer Volvo Trucks to help business customers cut haulage costs and reduce carbon emissions.

The two companies will co-operate commercially and technically to increase the availability and promote the use of gas vehicles in the UK.

When substituted for diesel, Bio-LNG can today cut fuel costs and CO2 by around 20 per cent. It also delivers improvements in air quality emissions with huge reductions in NOx and particulate matter.

Under the agreement, Gasrec and Volvo Trucks will focus on supplying vehicles to potential customers in the areas served by Gasrec s growing refuelling network. The companies will also exchange technical information and promote Europe-wide standards for the gas vehicle industry.

At Volvo Trucks we believe that the viability of carbon dioxide-free transportation is not limited by technology, but rather by the availability of alternative fuels. Gasrec is a key player in this and we are one of the leading truck manufacturers with an energy-efficient gas truck already available on the market. Together we believe that we can enhance and speed up the introduction of LNG and LBM to the transport business, both through own activities and by inspiring others, said Lennart Pilskog, director of public affairs at Volvo Trucks.

Gasrec s chief executive, Rob Wood, said: We re delighted to be working with such a well-known, trusted and forward-thinking company such as Volvo Trucks. It demonstrates the faith that major companies have in our ability to deliver.

He added: The Gasrec-Volvo collaboration is another signal that LNG fuel, like our uniquely sustainable Bio-LNG, is the most viable alternative for businesses looking to cut costs and emissions from heavy duty vehicles.

Gasrec is currently developing the UK s first network of open-access Bio-LNG refuelling stations, which is set for completion in 2015. It opened the first of its eight facilities last month near Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT). Gasrec s network promises ease of access for refuelling: each of the proposed locations is near motorway junctions, ensuring that 85 per cent of the UK s HGV population is within four hours drive of a station.
