Exosent Engineering manufactures MC-331 tank trailers that are more driver friendly, more fuel efficient, and- most importantly-safer than a traditional "bottle" trailer used for transporting liquified gasses. So, carriers that haul these liquids are hastening to adopt Exosent's radical pressure vessels, right? Oddly enough, that hasn't been the case, laments Uv Doron, Exosent owner. "You can buy a transport that's 30% more stable," he said. "That's fantastic, right? Yet we see this reluctance from the industry to adopt. It's like, 'Wait a second, I don't trust that. I don't know what that is.' So, on one hand, fleets are striving for safety and driver comfort, but on the other, they don't want to try anything different. "It's a strange dichotomy I see in decision makers-and it's a tough nut to crack." Fortunately, a growing group of innovative fleets like Ryan Bros., headquartered in Thermopolis, Wyoming, who are open to new ideas, are helping drive adoption; and insurers like PT Risk Management in Phoenix, Arizona, are upping the ante by offering discounts on premiums to clients who deploy Exosent's trailers. |
