Fuel Prices Are Dropping

After what seems like an eternity, fuel prices are finally dropping to a figure that will allow people to have a little more disposable income. I know that most are going to be squirmish about spending this income as everyone expects this drop will more than likely not last as long as the increase did.

I think that we all can expect the drop to last through November anyway...the elections. As sad as it is to even think this, the powers that be are now allowing lower fuel prices in hopes of finding forgiveness in their constituents in order to be re-elected. Perhaps a friend of mine is right, if we want to keep low fuel prices...clean house. Vote for the new guy and get the old guy out! No incumbents.

Back on topic...with the fuel prices dropping this will have a somewhat positive effect for the RV industry. Dealers will be dropping prices on new units to move them out for the '07 models. Most dealers and manufacturer's will use the drop as a selling pont in their advertising as "still the cheapest way to take a vacation".

With what I suspect to be an increase in sales and movements of trailers, FEMA is still in the mix this year as well. A year later and FEMA still can't make up it's mind on where to put the trailers ordered from last year. As of this writing FEMA is moving hundreds, if not thousands of trailers from Baton Rouge, La to Hope, AR. Plus with a termite problem...should something happen FEMA may have to order more trailers.

I see many positives with the transport industry right now. If you have been thinking about becoming a transporter perhaps now may be a good time to take the step. For more information just click the link on the right.
