You may not realize how important trucks are to our economy and daily life. They transport goods we use on a regular basis and life would come to a standstill without trucks, especially during the holiday season. 

The holidays prove to be the busiest season for the trucking and shipping industries. Every single package that you have ordered for holiday gifts has most likely been transported by an Ottawa truck at some point. They are as close to a modern-day Santa Claus as it gets! Below are three ways Ottawa trucks play an irreplaceable role in the shipping industry year-round.  

1. Ottawa Trucks Specialize In Warehouse Distribution

Kalmar Ottawa Trucks set the standard when it comes to trailer moving solutions for warehouse and distribution operations, ports, and rail terminals. They are able to move trailers quickly and efficiently and can do so in tight places. They maintain the flow of warehouse operations and are a critical component in the shipping industry year-round. 

These trucks have excellent durability, driver comfort, ease of service, and the newer trucks feature the latest generation of engines, which meet EPA regulations. Features like automatic transmission, rear door entry, power cab tilt, and ABS brake systems allow these trucks to dominate the industry. 

2. Ottawa Trucks Are Environmentally Friendly

Not only are they efficient in moving trailers and helping get packages where they need to be on time, Ottawa Trucks are environmentally friendly vehicles! While there are much fewer heavy-duty vehicles on the road than other vehicles on the road, a large fraction of emissions come from trucks. 

Ottawa's Tier 4i-compliant tractors are in compliance with the new regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These trucks emit far less particulate matter and nitrous oxide in the air than the trucks with engines that meet the EPA's Tier 3 standard. Ultimately, this means that the trucks that meet Tier 4 deliver improved fuel efficiency and will save money in the long run.

3. Ottawa Trucks Are Time, Cost, And Labor-Efficient 

An increasing trend in today's trucking industry, and really the entire vehicle industry, is building vehicles with features that enhance and optimize efficiency. The trucking industry has no need for added features like sunroofs or subwoofers. If it doesn't serve a purpose of streamlining the job, it doesn't exist in Ottawa Trucks. 

Some Ottawa Trucks are equipped with yard management systems that include touchscreens to inform drivers of their next task, when a particular trailer is coming in, and where the trailers should be moved to. All of these things work together to increase productivity levels.  

 Ottawa Trucks are more than capable of getting the job done in every possible efficient way.  

Ottawa Trucks ensure productivity, fewer mistakes, and more accuracy for every job. We recently wrote a blog about being a Premier Partner of Kalmar Ottawa. This is a wonderful accomplishment that we are incredibly proud of and speaks to our dedication to selling only the best Ottawa Trucks and ensuring customer satisfaction. We hope you have a happy holiday season!
