More Drivers Taking Dangerous Risks With Part Worn Tyres

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 23, 2010 – The number of tyre related deaths and accidents on the UK’s roads could be set to rise after new research has revealed that more than one in ten drivers is more likely to buy part worn tyres compared with 12 months ago. The worrying findings have been issued by TyreSafe, the UK’s leading tyre safety group, who has warned that not only could part worn tyres be a false economy, but they could pose a significant safety hazard to drivers and other road users. In 2008, illegal, under-inflated or defective tyres contributed to the deaths of 34 drivers and the injuries of more than 900 other motorists.
“Tyres play a critical role in vehicle safety and consequently, some very strict requirements exist regarding the sale of part worn tyres,” warns Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. “If part worn tyres are bought from an unreliable source or do not meet the required standards, drivers could be placing themselves and other road users in significant danger. We understand the financial pressures being faced by many motorists but the risks associated with fitting part worn tyres are too high and we would always recommend fitting brand new tyres.”
One of TyreSafe’s primary concerns with part worn tyres relates to the internal structure of the tyre. Regulations require that part worns must be free from large cuts, bulges and lumps and must not have any of their plies or cords exposed. However, without a thorough examination of the internal components of the tyre using an x-ray machine, TyreSafe claims it is impossible to tell what unseen damage may have occurred.
“There are many internal components of a tyre which are essential for safe motoring,” explains Jackson. “These can be damaged by a number of things such as punctures, driving over kerbs or pot holes or running at too low pressures. All of these can make the tyre dangerous and unsafe. The visual inspections required to sell part worn tyres may not identify these internal structural problems and consequently divers may be sold a product which is essentially not fit for purpose.”
TyreSafe’s research found that as many as one in six drivers had bought part worn tyres for their car at some point. It also found that younger drivers are much more likely to compromise their safety by buying part worn tyres compared with older drivers. One in five drivers aged between 18-34 said they were more likely to buy part worn tyres compared with 12 months ago, whereas only one in twenty drivers aged over 55 said they were more likely to buy part worns.
Among the many regulations regarding part worn tyres, they must be permanently marked as such. They must also have at least 2mm of tread depth around the whole tyre and the original grooves must be clearly visible in their entirety. Any repairs to the tyre must have been carried out in accordance with British Standards BS AU 159.
Part worn tyres can come from a variety of sources meaning that it is extremely difficult to understand their history. Some are removed from vehicles which have been written off following an accident; others are put back into service having been changed by their original owner; and others arise from situations where drivers switch between a set of summer and winter tyres and choose to refit brand new tyres rather than refitting their old set.
As part of a further investigation into the problems associated with part worn tyres, TyreSafe will be working closely with Trading Standards officers across the UK. For more information about tyre safety or the dangers of part worn tyres, visit www.tyresafe.org.

The Towing Network Chooses TowPartners to Provide Search and Software Services

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 16, 2010 – Keller, TX,  TowPartners today announced that it has partnered with The Towing Network to provide search and software services. The Towing Network operates a nationwide call center located in Brunswick, Ohio, that assists motor carriers in locating towing and recovery service providers. The Towing Network has chosen the new, expanded version of towSearch Commercial from towPartners to assist in building its network of service providers as well as to manage work orders and to connect the motor carriers and towing companies through web portals to create new efficiencies in towing dispatch. The towSearch Commercial product (www.towsearch.com) was specifically designed for commercial clients and utilizes the highly developed towPartners database system.
The nation’s leading towing and road service provider locator tool, towSearch, is used to power this solution, and over 28,000 companies are currently listed on towSearch Commercial. Dozens and often hundreds of member updates are received daily at towPartners and results of these updates keep the system accurate, making it a reliable resource for all of the commercial fleet customers across the United States.
“We are proud to have been selected by The Towing Network for both software services and to provide search support from among our membership base,” stated Jeffrey Godwin, Vice President of towPartners. “Our members are the best of the best in the towing and recovery industry and we are glad to bring them new business opportunities from a partner who is also committed to working ‘For the Industry.’ I know The Towing Network will be pleased with our systems and with our members.”
The towSearch directory of companies is just the beginning of the commercial version which also allows users to learn more about towPartners members and to make more informed selections of service providers. Through secure logins, the users of towSearch Commercial can view significantly more information about service providers than the public tool displays. Additionally, these users can store provider notes, select preferred providers, keep ratings and have access to full work order management. The tool offers connectivity for the motor carrier to monitor the status of their own jobs and many other features that provide benefit to all involved parties.
“towPartners has a large industry presence and though some of the members are already a part of The Towing Network, we expect this partnership can solidify our presence nationwide,” commented Jeff St. Pierre, President of The Towing Network. “We are excited about the software tool and are even more pleased to already be working with the quality members of towPartners as service providers for the work we are doing today.”
The Towing Network is actively looking for partner towing companies with a solid reputation and ability to serve large motor carrier customers with heavy duty towing, recovery and road service. The Towing Network was established through a strong collaboration of motor carrier executives and some of the best towers in the industry. They were able to build a program that serves the needs of both groups. Members of towPartners are encouraged to update their member profiles immediately because many new data fields have recently been added to support this effort and the members can request more information directly from their update forms.

"Online" Quotes (the new way)
Receiving online quotes - saves you lots of time:
1.   Describe your load in detail and post it; Come back to it at later time (you can end it early at any time)
2.   Review the online received quotes and assign it to a "Carrier of Choice"
3.   That’s it - You’ve covered your load(s) without a single phone call!

Carriers love to see loads described in detail. They right away know if they can do the load or not. They are extremely happy not to waste time calling you if they do not have available trucks or truck without adequate equipment for your load.
"Over the Phone" Quotes (the traditional way)
If you prefer to be called on the phone, you can certainly choose that option too (during your load-posting process). In this case, your phone number will be shown on the load-description page and the carriers will not have the option to submit online quotes, only to call you on the phone.
Even then, due to your detailed load-listing description, you dramatically cut the conversation time in half. The carriers won’t ask you many questions over the phone; they will just call you to verbally give you their quotes.
Auto Capture
Our system saves all your postings, online received quotes and attached authorities automatically, so you can access them at a later time.
Is it really this simple? Try it and see for yourselves.

Shipping to Australia - Nothing Beats Experience

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 11, 2010 – So you want to pursue an easier life in Australia instead of drudging it out in the UK. Just like other families and young couples throughout the world, it time to pack up and ship out. Good paying jobs, high living standards and an all around great climate are to be had for those brave enough to make the move, and we used the word “brave” for a good reason.
Many people are totally petrified of shipping their belongings to Australia. They are so afraid that they deprive themselves of the better life. Many simply decide to sell off any and all items that they have, no matter how underpaid they will be or any sentimental values it may have, just in order to avoid the hassle of shipping to Australia. And once they get to Australia, they have to open their wallets real wide in order to purchase all the furniture and appliances needed for a comfortable life.
Employing a reputable and reliable company that specializes in shipping to Australia can save your peace of mind. One that is experienced in shipping furniture, appliances, and even vehicles will reduce your stress and speed up your move. After all, nothing beats experience. And just because they are experienced it doesn’t mean you have to pay a high price, especially if you shop around.
A full service shipping company should be able to offer you the following services:
Full liability and insurance coverage - To insure your belongings are fully covered from beginning to end.
Crating Services – For fragile and highly valuable items.
Packing, Delivery, and Unpacking – Have all your items professionally packed, delivered, and then unpacked at you home in Australia. They should even dust off any items that got dirty.
Freight Shipping – For very large and heavy shipments
Storage Services – In case you do not want to ship everything to Australia.
The company you decide to use for shipping to Australia should fill out any and all paperwork needed for your move. They should frequently let you know that they have contacted the shipping lines and that everything is running on schedule.
Try to have the shipping company pick your belongings as close as possible to the actual departure date of the ship. This can reduce the time in transit significantly. For example, although ships heading to Australia from the UK leave daily, it can still take over a week for you shipment to arrive at the Australian port. Add onto that port procedures, quarantines, and bad weather, and the time you may have to wait can increase.
Shipping 2 Australia, http://www.shipping2australia.com locates the lowest price from reliable, reputable and bonded shippers. They also provide comprehensive information related to living in Australia. The site is provided as a free service with the only request being that users of the site spread the news to other people who will be shipping to Australia.
