The transportation industry is a very broad, diverse group of companies and individuals that collectively keep America moving. With all of the time and effort it takes to keep those wheels turning on the highway, the amount of traffic that goes online would seem to pale in comparison. The opposite appears to be true.

Earlier this week, President Obama directed the transportation and energy-related agencies of the federal government to develop higher minimum fuel standards for medium and heavy-duty trucks — the latest effort in the administration’s effort to reduce the oil consumption that is costly to the U.S. economy and a culprit in global warming.
