Good Connectivity Provided By Roads

By Sandra Cook


Street rods are vehicles which are more than twenty years old and have been modified to look like much older vehicles. Chassis is the outer frame of a vehicle. This supports the whole of the body. The size of the vehicle depends on this. Chassis for light vehicles and heavy vehicles will be different due to the difference in weight carriage. The street rod chassis cannot be loaded with much heavier weight.

Many years back, roads were constructed as two ways. During those times, there were only limited vehicles on the road. As vehicles increased new roads were constructed as one way for easy travel. Later on lane system was introduced. There are two lanes, three lanes, four lane type of road traffic in most developed countries.

Efficient drivers are needed for driving heavy trucks. Not all drivers can drive these trailer trucks. Much experience is needed to handle it effectively. We run out of people who acquire these skills. The remuneration received by these people are more compared to other drivers. Also more travelling allowance will be received.

As peoples needs are different and would look for comfort, people generally would use separate vehicles according to their convenience. Top executives would not like to share vehicles with anyone. These guys have plenty of money to spare and would not give a thought to saving any money by sharing a car.

If gutters form in the road before that period, company might need to pay penalties. This can even lead to permanent banning of the company from all maintenance works, if there are repeated complaints. These companies are also responsible for continuous maintenance. The government might pay a certain amount for maintenance.

Trucks are more flexible than other means of transport as it can travel through small roads and reach the destination within less time. Transporting goods via train is cheap, but trains do not travel everywhere. The goods need to be unloaded and again trucks are required be used to carry it. This might take more time to transport.

As there can be plenty of vehicle loans provided by banks, lot of people are buying these vehicles. People do not think, whether they get any benefit out of that or not. As loans are provided at low rates, these people purchase it. Fuel is essential to run these vehicles. At the time of purchasing vehicles, people do not think about fuel.

In places with frequent rains, the motorways have to be constructed scientifically, so that there shall be more life for roads. But government agencies do not care about those things. Actually these people want the road to spoil quickly, so that new tender can be initiated for the maintenance work.

Proper insurance is a must in road transport. As the possibility of accidents is more, if the vehicle and goods is not properly insured, any accidents would create huge loss for the transporter and the owner. Some transporters would quote less for the goods while insuring, in order to cut insurance premiums. This could turn out a blunder, if accident occurs.
