Automotive Trucks information on net.

Most people understand the importance of our transportation and distribution system in the United States. For those who don’t understand the importance; think for a second; “if you bought it, well then a truck brought it.” The words ‘keep on trucking’ may not mean much to you if you do not know someone who is a truck driver, but suffice it to say that if all the trucks stopped, people would run out of food on the shelves in a little less than one-week. They help our civilizations stay alive and thrive.

But with this monumental task of bringing and transporting all these goods to market you may not realize other aspects. For instance there are often microscopic things, which also travel around on truck; germs, bugs, bacteria, disease, etc. This is why trucks must be thoroughly cleaned after each use.

If we get into full-scale issues with a SARS, Bird Flu Pandemic or something wicked we must keep transportation and our nations distribution systems running full-speed. And those tucks must be sanitized after each use to protect the American People.

We know from studying "Truck Drivers" in other nations that they are huge spreaders of disease in other nations, such as AIDS, etc. They travel long distances and with them they move bio-material, not only on their trucks but in their own bodies. Everything from the Flu to Tuberculosis.

Did you know that because of Mad Cow and some other things of concern and they had special cleaning units to clean undercarriages and landing gear of aircraft coming over from the UK. And you have probably heard of similar type issues with regards to ships with the Ballast tanks unloading non-local species and screwing up eco-systems, just messes up everything. FEMA knows of this and is also aware of preparation issues, which need to be addressed. Truck washes are vital to both the wealth and the health of our nation. Think on this in 2006.
