Car Haul Co-Op is a refreshingly new, hybrid co-operative automotive distribution company utilizing profit sharing, stock ownership, and true rate revenue to owner-operators. It is unlike any other car haul company.
In addition to regulatory certification, privileged ISO-9001 certification will have been achieved on February 19th, 2011, and to remedy the negative impact on the environment Car Haul Co-Op is also Smartway Certified, making it one of a handful in the US to have achieved both.
The fleet of experienced and motivated owner-operators is currently hauling overflow traffic, with short term trial work awarded by OEM’s Mazda, Ford, GM and VW to be started later in February. Negotiations for contracts with other OEM’s are ongoing.
Car Haul Co-Op believes that by sharing the wealth to their employees, their loyalty and superior performance will breathe new life and fire into the unionized automotive industry and will create a new performance standard.
Convertible Trailer Manufacturing Ltd, CTM, is a Canadian company whose primary interest is to continue to develop and supply “Convertible” style auto transportation equipment to the auto transportation sector in all markets worldwide. The auto transportation industry experiences 35% to as high as 50% empty mile factor and these empty miles cost the auto industry 1M gallons of diesel daily or about $4B of revenue annually in North America alone! The magnitude of this problem is about 5 times this worldwide. Our concept is simple; after you have delivered your automobiles to their destination, convert your decks to the flat deck configuration and continue creating revenue with your expensive assets! This ability will translate into higher profitability for the transportation companies and lower distribution costs to the OEMs and, of course, final costs to the customer. CTM believes in high quality and efficiency standards and prides itself in being a proactive innovator in this industry sector. Improving efficiencies in this world is not only profitable; we are morally obligated to optimize the management of our resources.
