If you are planning to move your car across the country, you may need help of transporting your car. Some people transport their car through self driving which may be very tiring. You may get exhausted until you reach the desired destination. Another way of transporting the car is through auto transport.

There are two types of auto transport. They are enclosed auto transport and open auto transport.
Enclosed auto transport is one of the ways of transporting a vehicle. Enclosed auto transport is exactly that the car is enclosed in a container and shipped much like any other cargo would be by a freight hauler. Enclosed carriers is little expensive than traditional open transporter because it can save your exotic, luxury car from weather elements like rain, snow etc on transportation. Enclosed auto transport happens in containers that are completely enclosed and locked down. There are not more than 2 or 3 cars per truck. There is no exposure to elements.
If a customer chooses enclosed car shipping it means they take much care of their vehicle. All the auto mover companies will have online trucking systems or cell phone devices set up so that you can track your vehicle.

The Federal Aviation Administration or FAA devoted a new, modernized 195 foot-tall air traffic control tower at Reno Tahoe International Airport.
The improvement of air transport infrastructure is one of our highest priorities and this new tower will provide Reno-Tahoe International Airport with one of the nations most modern air traffic control facilities said in a report by US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
This is a great day for aviation in Nevada said in a report by FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. The new tower will improve safety and efficiency by providing controllers with better airfield views and more modern equipment. The new tower was built with FAA facilities and equipment dollars which are used to modernize the air traffic control system.
Reno new control tower is almost three times the height of the old tower which was built in 1957. The airport runways are very longer than they were when the old tower was built which made it challenging for controllers to see aircraft on certain taxiways and runways. The old tower also experienced glare from lights on the cargo areas.
Reno controllers also now will have state-of-the-art equipment that includes multicolor radar displays, touch-screen voice communications and touch screen work stations that provide instant information on everything from weather conditions to air traffic manuals. Double thick sun shades will help prevent glare inside the 610-sqft controller work area. Moreover new tower will have two backup power systems to help ensure uninterrupted operations.
Tower controllers direct aircraft within about five miles of airport up to an altitude of 3,000 feet. The new tower and a 10,000 square-foot base building cost $29.4mn to build and furnish. Construction began in January 2008. Reno-Tahoe International Airport served about 100,000 flights in 2009.
