Europe was often in the headlines this June, with the decision to leave the EU during Brexit. Another big piece of news out of Europe was about a convoy of trucks arriving at the Port of Rotterdam without drivers. This technology will double the amount of time from a human driving for 12 hours to a truck on the road for 24 hours
The second story has enormous repercussions to employment of truck drivers.The technology is bound to invade; make no mistake about it as labor costs in the trucking industry accounts for 75% of the cost. The cost of transportation is expected to come down. What will remain constant is vehicle maintenance and inspection. Drivers will have to look for other jobs and employing skills of maintenance will greatly offset the actual loss of driving jobs.
Aluminum wheel refurbishment will remain constant and this business affords lost driving jobs to remain in the trucking segment. A driver knows alloy wheels and he is also aware of restoration process. He will lavish the same care to the wheel refurbishment as if it were his own. VIS (Vehicle Inspection Systems) from Orlando in Florida has introduced a trade-in program. Existing semi-automated wheel polishing machines irrespective of condition and age will fetch trade in allowance that will be applied towards purchase of new VIS polish systems.
For two decades, Vehicle Inspection Systems has kept the safety of drivers and trucks their top most priority. Even though work place automation is a part of their philosophy, they also recognize that technology should be a servant to Man and not the other way around. While driverless trucks will transform the transportation industry, Vehicle Inspection Systems offers an alternate form of employment with inspection systems and aluminum polishing machines
