What Trucking Payroll Services Include Beyond Just Cutting Driver Checks?

It's way more than just cutting checks, honestly. Think tax filings, workers' comp coordination, IFTA reporting help, garnishments, benefits deductions, even settlement statements broken down by load. Good payroll for truck drivers also handles compliance paperwork and year-end tax forms, so owners aren't scrambling every quarter trying to piece it together themselves.

The Long Road From Early Vehicle Shipping to Modern Auto Transport

The history of auto transport is closely tied to the history of the automobile itself.

As cars became more common, people and businesses needed better ways to move vehicles over long distances. Railroads became an important part of early vehicle transportation, while the expansion of America's highway system helped trucking become increasingly important.

Eventually, specialized car carriers made it possible to transport multiple vehicles efficiently. Then computers, GPS, smartphones, online marketplaces, and digital logistics platforms transformed how shipments were coordinated.

Today, the industry is entering another period of change through electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, automation, predictive logistics, and improved tracking.

The interesting part is that the basic challenge has never really changed: getting a vehicle from point A to point B safely, reliably, and at a price that works for everyone involved.

Which part of auto transport history do you think had the biggest impact on the industry we know today?

RGN vs. Lowboy: Picking the Right Trailer for Heavy Equipment

If you've ever stood next to a bulldozer wondering how on earth is this thing getting moved, the answer usually comes down to two trailer types: the RGN (Removable Gooseneck) and the classic lowboy.

The short version:

🔹 Lowboy trailers load via ramps and are great for equipment that can safely drive up an incline - think wheel loaders, backhoes, and medium-sized excavators. Their low deck height also helps taller machines stay within legal transport limits.

🔹 RGN trailers detach at the front, lowering the deck straight to the ground. No ramps needed - equipment just drives right on. This makes them the go-to choice for extremely heavy, tracked, or oversized machinery like large excavators, cranes, and mining equipment.

Neither one is objectively "better" - it really depends on your equipment's size, weight, and where you're loading from. Jobsite terrain, permit requirements, and how the machine handles inclines all play into the decision.

For a full breakdown of the differences (loading methods, deck height, weight capacity, and when to choose which), check out this detailed guide: 👉 RGN vs. Lowboy Trailer for Heavy Equipment
