There are quite a few automobile transport professionals that believe the financial storm could be over for the vehicle transportation industry of the United States and that sunny skies and increased volumes of customers vehicles needing to be moved to destination are just around the corner for the car hauling industry of America. According to a Business Expectation Survey recently conducted many in the car shipping business some firms are starting to look at acquiring car transport firms that might not be doing quite as well financially or thinking about maybe merging with a suitable partner in order to improve business even more. Hardly surprising news considering the rough times the transport industry just experienced and there were probably quite a few smaller car transport firms that might have been thinking about getting into another business. Larger transport firms are generally going to be in a stronger position, now that business seems to be improving, and will probably start to recover quicker, than their smaller competitors?

What did the transport professionals surveyed have to say about the year ahead? According to the survey almost half think the year ahead is going to be a better one and will be thinking about purchasing another firm in the year ahead. Apparently, transport firms of all sizes are thinking about acquisitions and mergers at this point in time, but larger firms are the ones thinking the most about expanding through acquisitions. Increasing freight rates and volumes of cars that need to be transported to destination in the past few months could have something to do with this? Now that things are looking better, fewer firms will be thinking about getting into another business, and larger firms will certainly be dreaming of even larger volumes, revenues and profits in the months ahead.
