Starting on Jan. 3, drivers of commercial vehicles will face fines of $2,750 for using their cell phones while driving, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced. The final rule, which officially prohibits interstate truck drivers from using cell phones during the operation of their vehicles, comes from both the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) divisions and is the latest attempt by the DOT to end distracted driving.

The rule encompasses both truck and bus drivers and, along with individual drivers, will punish companies that allow drivers to use cell phones while driving with a maximum fine of $11,000. States also have the ability to suspend a driver’s commercial driver’s license after two or more violations.

“This final rule represents a giant leap for safety,” said FMCSA administrator Anne S. Ferro.

“It’s just too dangerous for drivers to use a hand-held cell phone while operating a commercial vehicle. Drivers must keep their eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and head in the game when operating on our roads.”

Advertiser “Stuff” Thomas McAnally - Publisher

That’s All Folks! (for 2011) I’m putting together the last edition for 2011 and wanted to take a minute to thank our advertisers. It’s been a fantastic three years, and there are times that I have had doubts, but they have provided motivation, hope, and have stood by the idea that is the Advertiser. What a team! Onward to 2012!

Changes for 2012 will see the end of on line classified and auction segment. One of my better ideas that never took hold. After a year, it seems that it confused some readers and split our message. Nice technology, wrong application.

Our primary focus is a drive for more advertisers who are looking for new ways to reach out to the industry and to improve our capability to deliver the most value for the least cost. Our current eMagazine format will be improved, hopefully with video and interactive content once we upgrade to the newest version of our layout software. We expect to take advantage of our capabilities to give new and better options to communicate, educate, and sell.

Advertiser 2012 Showcase: Submit pictures of your best truss or panel project, or manufacturing operation to be considered for our 2012 Showcase. Each week, we will showcase the best submittal on our cover, with a story behind the photo inside. In a market where price is usually the winner, this is a chance to show your company pride. Photo’s should be high resolution, portrait format, any standard image file extension, submit to tmcanally@componentadvertiser.com.

This is one of many rules regarding the use of cell phones by commercial vehicle drivers passed by the DOT and its divisions over the past eighteen months. In September 2010, the FMCSA issued a regulation banning commercial vehicle drivers from text messaging while operating their vehicles. Last February, PHMSA announced a similar regulation which banned text messaging by intrastate hazardous materials drivers.

Building Components Industry Advertising Sales How Can You Help Us Grow?

With 3 years of publishing history, the Component Manufacturing Advertiser is growing. We need someone who can work closely with industry suppliers to develop long term advertising relationships.

Yes you will have a start up curve, but as any true sales professional knows, this can be a money maker once your sales turn into advertising orders and residual income builds. There is only one sales rep position, no territories. This is a high commission only job, but with a residual income potential that can justify a full time effort. The compensation plan has yet to be developed and is open to negotiation.

“The Missing Piece”

Page #8

by Mylon L. Stark - Big Picture Safety

Over 3 decades of service to employers and employees I have come to know of strengths and gaps in the workplace. Note the use of the term “gaps” v. “weaknesses.” I am an advocate for packaging a message with a positive wrapper.

One of the most common gaps in operations with which I’ve engaged is the transition from being a “worker” to becoming a “supervisor.” It is far too common that an employer – unintentionally – sets up the new supervisor for failure.

The process begins with selection. What criteria are used? Who is the right candidate for promotion? Do they have “the right tools?” The candidate may have well-honed technical skills, but do they possess supervisory capability? Employers often use traditional selection criteria to pick a candidate. These may include: Reliable, Punctual, Shows Up, Doesn’t Rock the Boat, a Skilled Craftsperson.

If the preceding is where the qualification process ends – if those are the sole criteria – we may be setting a trap for the candidate. This trap may serve as a pre-determined negative outcome. Again, likely unintended but pre-determined nonetheless.

When consulting with employers, and coaching them on selecting management candidates, rarely does the employer speak of “soft skills.”

Even more rarely is the term “supervisor development” brought up.

End result? We may end up with a “revolving door” supervisor system: Selection – Appointment – Assignment – Frustration – Termination – Repeat, as needed!

The key word in the aforementioned list is Frustration. Who is frustrated? Everyone! Supervisors are frustrated with their people, because “they don’t do as they’re told!” Workers are frustrated because “the supervisor doesn’t know what they’re doing!” Senior managers are frustrated because of the dissention in the ranks, and likely underperformance.

Negative impact? Loss – of time, resources, productivity, quality, ad nauseum. Preventable? A resounding “YES!” With adequate planning (remember your 7 Ps), and proper execution, selection of management team members can go well. Losses can be minimized. The process can be successful! Remember: a supervisor is an Agent of Senior Management. They are acting in the stead of the Senior Manager, because the Senior Manager “can’t be there.” How prepared should your supervisors be?

It takes years of investment to develop and unskilled worker into a skilled professional. Why would we think it would take less time (or no time) to develop a supervisor? Senior managers and their support system (e.g., human resources) are charged with steering the business boat. How are you ensuring the correct people are pulling the oars? Are you developing supervisor to be skilled supervisors?

Specializing in taking a “Big Picture” view of internal business performance, the goal of BPS is to assist firms in a Drive to Excellence.

Weekly updates on the solid wood market in Canada and the US provided by Keta Kosman, publisher and editor of Madison’s Lumber Reporter. Madison’s is a North American lumber and panel commodity price guide and market analysis newsletter, which has been published every Friday out of Vancouver, BC since 1952. For more information please visit http://www.madisonsreport.com

The final weeks of lumber production in North America for 2011 are upon us. A significant proportion of sawmills in Quebec will already be closed for the holiday season by the time this market comment reaches readers.

Lumber producers and wholesalers must now labour through annual inventory-taking. Panic is sure to set in as the realization dawns that the common practice of carrying almost no wood is going to be problem in the very first week of 2012.

Every year the game is the same: stocking wholesalers, reloads, retailers, and sawmills want to empty out their lumber yards of wood and finish the year bare.

They tidy up their books, close off the old year and ring in the new. Sometimes players miscalculate and deplete their inventory too thoroughly, then need to make orders at the very end of December to serve whatever few customers are on the phones. When that happens there is a delightful uptick in lumber prices, since producers take advantage of the situation to dictate increased lumber prices and buyers are in no position to suggest counter-offers.

Its not expected that this will happen in the next two weeks, however, once the year turns and bodies start dragging themselves back to work, those depleted inventories will become a real problem for middle-men and a boon for producers.

Generally speaking, only extraordinary circumstances like major storms, wildfires, or a labour disruption interrupts this regular schedule. This year will likely be an anomaly. it seems inevitable that the extended tight log and lumber inventories throughout the North American supply chain will cause a surge in lumber prices right at the start of next year. Futures already started a similar ride, the close of the November contract brought significant volatility -- with lumber futures closing up limit two days in a row at a very unusual time of year -- which has since then been corrected.

Under normal circumstance a New Year starts slow in the lumber business, with buyers and sellers taking a few weeks to settle on prices. In the north and on the west coast, once the forestlands freeze, logging operations commence.

As the season passes lumber prices start their usual annual climb through spring.

More such volatility, almost entirely in the upward direction, is just around the corner.

Testing was conducted over several months by SPIB and Timber Products Inspection. The collected data were analyzed by SPIB staff as prescribed by ASTM D1990 and the USDA Forest Products Laboratory’s approved test protocol. 2x4 #2 common southern pine lumber was tested initially to measure property changes across the South. The 2x4 data suggested that significant property changes (as much as 30% lower) had occurred over time, and POST OFFICE BOX 10915 .

The initial testing indicated substantial reductions in lumber properties had As noted above, a key responsibility of SPIB is to monitor lumber occurred, and SPIB was obligated to propose new and reliable grades and strength properties.

We have specific instructions on what type of candidate they will accept, and we will be closely screening candidates for this opportunity.

Building Components Industry Advertising Sales How Can You Help Us Grow?

With 3 years of publishing history, the Component Manufacturing Advertiser is growing. We need someone who can work closely with industry suppliers to develop long term advertising relationships.

Yes you will have a start up curve, but as any true sales professional knows, this can be a money maker once your sales turn into advertising orders and residual income builds. There is only one sales rep position, no territories. This is a high commission only job, but with a residual income potential that can justify a full time effort. The compensation plan has yet to be developed and is open to negotiation.
