As I write this I am listening to the weather report. It is calling for storms from Toronto East thru Montreal and the Maritimes.The weather here in Saskatoon is forecast to go up to 27 degrees today.

I have just returned from 4 days in Toronto at the Truckworld Show. I have not been to Truckworld for a number of years and I was very pleasantly surprised.

The last time I made an appearance I was recruiting for a well known Western Canada carrier and we did not have a busy booth at any time.This year there was only 19 companies recruiting at a booth but they had people waiting to ask questions from opening to closing. I talked with many management people and everyone says the economy is on the rise.They are looking forward to a very good year.

Until the next issue keep the shiny side up and happy trucking: - Frank McKeown Published By:

CTA Blue Ribbon Task Force Provides Leadership, Direction on Shrinking the Driver Shortage

Landmark report examines labour system, outlines core values and issues call to action A new, eye-opening report by the Canadian Trucking Alliance is arguably the most comprehensive and honest attempt to tackle the burning questions surrounding motor carriers’ biggest operational concern -- the impending shortage of qualified commercial drivers in Canada and some ground breaking new ideas to try and fix it.

The Canadian Trucking Alliance Board of Directors has endorsed a report from the CTA Blue Ribbon Task Force on the Driver Shortage – a group established in 2011 to provide leadership on what many carriers say is the industry’s greatest long-term challenge but where little consensus has emerged in terms of finding solutions to the problem.

While the report highlights the usual “systemic issues” behind the shortage -- such as driver demographics, public perceptions of the occupation, an unpopular lifestyle, not being deemed a skilled occupation and regulations – it also holds up a mirror to the industry and attempts to incite a national dialogue within the transportation community. The report purposefully does not shy away from discussing some of the more contentious issues linked to the driver shortage, including compensation (which the report says “is inescapably the overriding issue” that needs to be resolved) and the need for organized immigration strategies.

The report cites the “traditional ‘piece work’ pay system” as one of the key reasons for the driver shortage, explaining that it “places the burden of inefficiencies of the freight system created by others onto the backs of drivers” and states that compensation packages for truck drivers -especially long-haul operators -- “are no longer competitive with other industries” competing with our industry for a share of the shrinking labour market pool.

While the report acknowledges that an hourly

pay system may be a “relevant consideration” in some segments of the industry where driving is the sole function or in short-haul/city P&D operations, it is not a solution for the industry at large. The “reality is that drivers do inevitably arrive at some sort of per hour calculation of what they are paid,” it concludes. “Carriers must be competitive with each other. The key is not necessarily how drivers are paid, but how much they are paid.” At the same time, the industry needs to do a better job compensating drivers for additional work they do as well as make pay packages more transparent in order to help drivers predict what their pay will be from week to week.

A key feature of the report is a core values statement by the Blue Ribbon Task Force to “guide the industry in the development of an action plan now and its efforts in the future.” According to the task force, “industry leaders need to make a strong statement demonstrating to current and future drivers that we are serious about coming to grips with the issues that underpin the driver shortage.”

(See appendix below for a selection of core values declarations issued by the Task Force and approved by the CTA Board).

In addition to demographics, compensation, and driver quality of life, driver qualification is also identified as one of the key underpinnings of the shortage. To address that, the core values contain the recommendation that “a minimum standard of entry level apprenticeship or apprenticeship-like truck driver training should be mandatory” and there should also be a program of “ongoing training and/or certification” throughout a driver’s career.

The report concedes there is merit – at least in the short-term -- in the argument that a driver shortage is good for the industry in that it creates tightness in capacity which in turn places

l May/June 2012 l

upward pressure on freight rates. The report acknowledges “there will be no quick fixes, no magic bullets” and that “in the short and medium-term, the situation and its resulting impact on capacity is unlikely to change.”

However, it contends that in the longer-term the capacity imbalance is not sustainable and that “the combination of a shrinking labour pool and economic growth will, at some point in the future, create a situation where the industry will not be able to meet the standards of service that have been the hallmark of trucking’s rise” to dominance.

The report declares unequivocally that drivers are the industry’s number one resource; its backbone. “Without them there is no industry.”

Furthermore, the trucking industry should not look to other groups to solve its own labour problems, states the report. The onus for creating solutions lies with the carriers – the entities that hire, fire, determine what and how to pay drivers; who price their service and deal with their customers; and who are ultimately responsible for their businesses and for ensuring they have the people to do the work.” Other stakeholders, such as customers, associations and government, also have roles to play but “will be of only limited assistance until the carriers first take action themselves.”

David Bradley, CEO of the Alliance, says that addressing the driver shortage will require a long, multi-year effort. “The Blue Ribbon Task Force is providing the necessary leadership and has scoped out a coherent direction that the CTA board has now endorsed,” he said. “But, the report is not the final word on the matter; it is the beginning of a long journey. Ultimately, it is market forces and how all motor carriers and their customers respond which will determine how the issue is resolved.”

The members of the CTA Blue Ribbon Task Force on the Driver Shortage include: Paul Easson (CTA Immediate Past-Chair), Eassons Transport, NS; Gord Peddle (CTA Executive Committee, Chairman of the Canadian Trucking Human Resources Council (CTHRC)), Atlantic Diversified, NF; Don Streuber (CTA

15

Chair), Bison Transport, MB; Mark Seymour (CTA 1st Vice Chair), Kriska Transportation, ON; Brian Taylor (CTA Board, OTA Chair), Liberty Linehaul, ON; Bruno Muller (CTA Past Chair), Caron Transport, AB; Ed Malysa (CTA Secretary), Trimac Transportation, AB; and, Carl Rosenau (CTA Board, Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) Chair), Rosenau Transport, AB. Secretariat and other assistance provided by CTA President & CEO, David Bradley; Bob Dolyniuk, Executive Director of the Manitoba Trucking Association (and member of the CTHRC executive committee); Angela Splinter, Executive Director of CTHRC; and Ron Lennox, CTA Vice President.

Sample of Core Values The CTA Blue Ribbon Task Force on the Driver Shortage States the Following: - Truck drivers are our most important asset, the face of the industry -- to our customers and to the public … and they are deserving of respect.

- Truck drivers should have an improved ability to predict what their weekly pay is going to be; compensation packages need to be competitive with or better than alternative employment options and more transparent; - Truck drivers should be paid for all the work that they do and earn enough to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while on the road for extended periods.

- (Drivers’) time at work should not be wasted -- at shipper/consignee premises, waiting for their trucks in the shop, or waiting for a response to a question of their carrier; - (Drivers) should be able to rely on their carrier not to interfere with their personal time by (for example) calling them back to work early; - Driver wellness should be a top priority for employers; - A minimum standard of entry level, apprenticeship or apprenticeship-like truck driver training should be mandatory; - Truck driving should be considered a skilled trade and be recognized as such by the various levels and branches of government, standards councils, etc., who certify such things;

This company identifies a clear mission critical path in the “Big 3” areas of the transportation business. The Customer, The Asset and The Driver. Their technology solutions improves the “Big 3” workflow, profits and sustainability.

Their proprietary iSmartPro BB will protect your business in every aspect, from fleet management, asset tracking to the logging of hours of service. Their driver “briefcase” is an android tablet (soon to include the iPad), a complete in/out of cab solution, allowing time consuming administrative tasks to be completed over a coffee, saving valuable drive time. iSMART Logistics has a unique and customizable end-to-end solution to suit any size fleet’s operational requirements. It creates efficiencies and improves the bottom line without incurring large capital costs. GPS allows real time tracking and more control for dispatch to watch and ensure on time delivery to your customers. The information gathered by the black box from the ECM outlines driver performance, vehicle status, incident analysis to aid in any vehicle events. These are just a few examples of the real time data collection available to you. iSMART Logistics web based application and dashboards can be fully integrated and customized to fit any accounting package ensuring faster billing - quicker cash flow turn-around with electronic signature capture as proof of delivery. iSMART Logistics will automatically keep your drivers compliant and improve safety while aiding with driver retention as iSMART Logistics is specifically designed to improve the quality of life while drivers are on the road. iSMART Logistics offers owner operators an HOS (hours of service) e-logs system that ensures automatic compliancy and readily available inspection reports for the occasional roadside inspections. iSMART Logistics will calculate the fuel tax for you (IFTA) and access to load boards through one click of the finger. Driver training certifications with Instructional Technologies Training Courses are readily available for drivers to complete during non drive time. The in/out of cab solution means an improved quality of life for drivers as relax hours can be spent reading your favorite newspaper or magazine, face book, skype, email - all this and more to help you with your day to day operation and create efficiencies which allow you to grow your business.

In today’s competitive marketplace, the true worth of a product or service is in the ability to deliver the desired result.
