New Rules on Truckers’ Cell Phone Use Could Make That Next Call Extra Costly

Subscriptions

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is making it clear to the drivers of commercial vehicles: Hang up or pay up.

Thomas McAnally Position Available Renae McAnally

Starting Jan. 3, commercial vehicle drivers now face fines of $2,750 for using their cell phones while driving. The rule comes from the DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) divisions in an effort to prevent distracted driving.

The rule encompasses both truck and bus drivers and, along with individual drivers, punishes companies that allow drivers to use cell phones while operating commercial vehicles 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.

News of interest can be submitted to: info@componentadvertiser.com We offer one forum for many sources

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

“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.”

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 18 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 that banned text messaging by intrastate hazardous materials drivers.

More Answers to Questions about New Design Values The recent approval of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau’s (SPIB) new design values for visually graded Southern Pine lumber by the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) Board of Review has generated more questions among producers and customer groups. The Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA) facilitated a task group of industry leaders representing key customer groups to develop answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding new design values and their implementation. This new collection of questions and answers is now available at www.southernpine.com.

SPIB issued Supplement No.9 to the 2002 Standard Grading Rules for Southern Pine Lumber providing new design values effective June 1, 2012. The only design values that will change on June 1 apply to visually graded Southern Pine and Mixed Southern Pine sized 2” to 4” wide and 2” to 4” thick (2x2s through 4x4s) in No.2 and lower grades (No.2, No.3, Stud, Construction, Standard and Utility).

What about Dense and NonDense lumber? What about Prime lumber grades? What happens between now and June 1? These are among the new questions answered in SFPA’s updated web pages. A helpful table is included listing the new design values for Southern Pine and Mixed Southern Pine, effective June 1, 2012. Answers address transition issues, how to obtain similar load-carrying capabilities and why only some grades and sizes are affected at this time. More than two dozen questions are answered in this updated collection, including a supplemental set of questions with answers providing important background information on this issue.

“The effective date of June 1 allows for an orderly transition to the new design values,” says Cathy Kaake, SFPA’s senior director of engineered and framing markets. “These answers address the most common questions raised since the ALSC’s decision earlier this month,” she adds.

The Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA) continues to facilitate the dialog about new design values and their implementation. Between now and June 1, SFPA will provide more information as it becomes available; check www.southernpine.com frequently for updates.

BACKGROUND: The last major change for visually graded dimension lumber occurred in 1991 when design values for Southern Pine and other North American species were published based on In-Grade testing of full-size samples of commercially produced lumber. Since 1994, SPIB has conducted an annual resource monitoring program developed in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory (FPL). SPIB is the first rules-writing agency to publish new design values. Rules-writing agencies responsible for other species are in different stages for evaluating design values.

SFPA does not test lumber or establish design values. SFPA’s primary function is to market lumber products and to help users understand Southern Pine grading rules and design values.

Complete information about Southern Pine design values is available at www.southernpine.com. *********************************************************************** SFPA is a nonprofit trade association that has represented manufacturers of Southern Pine lumber since 1915.

Today, SFPA is the leading source of information about Southern Pine products for design-build professionals and consumers. www.southernpine.com www.sfpa.org @Southern_Pine

Engineering Software What happens inside the computer when you draw a beam, a girder or a joist? This is the kind of question that is often put to software engineers but seldom answered in laymen’s terms. Actually, stripped of all the computer jargon of bits, bytes, pixels, memory, scaling and screen coordinates, the answer is quite simple.

Remember from high school how you spent weeks being taught how to graph a straight line? You learned (but maybe forgot) how to construct and label the x- and y-axes, and how to plot a straight line from any point (x0,y0) to any other point (x1,y1). For example, the line (or more precisely, line segment) from (1,4) to (5,2) would be represented: This is fundamentally what happens when you draw a beam (girder or joist) between two points on the computer screen. Of course you must

Keymark continued... then supply additional properties for the component (such as width, depth, left/center/right-orientation, structural material and other information) so that the computer can represent it as a flesh-and-blood object: The original segment is shown as a dotted line because it is really just a mathematical abstraction.

(KeyBuild calls it a reference line.) This will be an important concept in our subsequent blogs.

Just as a graph is the abstract representation of a mathematical relationship (in this case a linear equation), so too is the line segment an abstract representation of a structural component.

Notice that we didn’t include length as a specific property of the component.

This is because the length of the reference line is implicitly the same as the length of the component. Later on we’ll see where this assumption begins to break down.

What other abstract representations of structural elements can you think of? Is a roof plane an abstraction?

The expected winter lull finally came to the North American solid wood industry last week. Coupled with Chinese New Year celebrations, which brings business and industry in that country to a standstill as people travel all over to visit family, the volumes of lumber bought last week were quite small.

Producers, however, were generally able to hold their own on prices despite receiving almost no orders. The upticks of the previous two weeks held, or softened only slightly on some items. As the usual bad winter weather does finally start to set in across North America, expectations are that the buying and selling of lumber will be muted for the next several weeks.

The price of benchmark WSPF KD 2x4 #2&Btr fell by $5 last week to land at a squishy US$245 mfbm. Mills in some regions reported good sales and were actually able to prop up their price lists by $2, but the consensus across the market was that demand was down and consequently prices fell correspondingly.

The ridiculous spike in US plywood prices following the Chile wildfire of early January which burned a single plywood plant, and a specialty one at that, reversed. The $100 price increases on 1/2” sanded, high grade, plywood in the US of mid-January started a correction trend back downward last week. That spike made no sense in the market, and serves to demonstrate how panicked lumber and panel buyers are that there is no inventory and no one is stocking wood products.

An analysis of this leads to the obvious conclusion that other such extreme activity, such as: storms, wildfires, labour disputes, transportation issues, this year will cause corresponding leaps in dimension lumber prices.

The business of lumber has been on very shaky ground, indeed, for the past four years. Many veteran players have exited. Those who remain have difficulty making plans for the future in such rampant uncertainty, and the newbies know only how to scan the futures board and make a bid. The new players in lumber trading have neither the experience nor the gut instinct to be able to judge the current market, never even mind predicting coming weeks in order to plan for either stocking up or letting inventories run down.

This time we are in is a deep breath. Once winter hits in earnest the entire North American wood products industry is going to look toward a short, but very active, spring buying season. The question of the past two years remains: where do they think they are going to get their logs from?

@JobLine

This opportunity is for a specific type of Truss Designer. If you have scored in the Senior Designer or upper levels on the JobLine Design Skills Evaluation using ONLY a calculator, in what we consider a very fast completion time, your skills are perfect for this position. If you are knowledgeable in designing high end, complex projects that are detailed and require exceptional ability, and thrive on challenges and are willing to learn new approaches, this may be what you have been looking for. The company will invest in your training, both initially and ongoing to keep your skills at peak performance. Because of that, no job hoppers will be considered.

We have specific instructions on what type of candidate they will accept, and we will be closely screening candidates for this opportunity. This is the perfect chance for someone who is topped out at their current employer to move up in responsibility and compensation. Priority is for currently employed superstars, but if you were laid off and have been a top performing Senior Designer in the past 1-2 years, don't pass this one up.

Compensation: Starting salary is open, but expect to show your abilities before you get top compensation. Designers at the level we need for this position can make in the $70's and more, based on performance. That is 2011 numbers, not back in the good olé days.

Benefits include: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K and/or other retirement programs.

Relocation is acceptable and expenses are open to negotiation for the right candidate.

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.

Have your truss design skills been evaluated by theJobLine.com lately? We offer comprehensive Truss Design Skills testing and evaluation that is recognized by Employers nationwide.

Even if you have been evaluated in the past, a current evaluation will show how your skills have progress, or held solid even if you have been out of the job for a while.

There is no charge for the exam. Results are now available to both candidates and employers.

Sales/Plant/Design/Estimating Manager Are you a multi-tasker with the ability to grow sales, lead design, and manage operations for a plant that has potential to produce $20M? The job requires someone who has experience with total takeoff, design/layout/engineering using MiTek software, manufacturing operations, and managing multiple department while focusing on growing sales. The ideal candidate will have either been a GM or past owner, who came up through the business in manufacturing, design or sales. If this is a possible match for what you are looking for, let's talk!

The JobLine.com, Inc. Thomas McAnally 800-289-5627 thom@thejobline.com

Is it time to start thinking about your next hire?

Q4/11 and January 2012 started off more like 2003-05 with a frenzy of hiring and then silence. Employers are asking if we have candidates for different jobs, and then waiting for a sign, something that gives some assurance that this is the year they will finally hire a few people to take care of a painfully slow increase in business. After running so lean for so long, when things do pick up it will be time to hire, Right Away!

Most of our long term employers have us searching year around for candidates. Mostly Designers and Sales. The difference this year is that more people are adding Wall Panel Designers to their wish list.

Throughout the year, we “Bank” candidates for them and usually have several to chose from when they need to hire. There is no charge unless a candidate is hired or engaged. Please contact me personally if you are interested in our full time search program. Don’t miss the perfect candidate.

We will also notify you immediately when a prime candidate matches your specifications. Knowing that you have an option can give flexibility to upgrade or realign a department.

With as much interest as employers are showing in wall panel skills, I asked a question on “Linked In” in the Truss, Panel and Building Components Group. “When do wall panels make sense?” With 60 comments to date it looks like several people are already thinking panels.

Is a formal LEAN or Lean Six Sigma program part of your company philosophy? Many of us old timers were LEAN before JIT was cool. We just didn’t have a certificate and a green or black belt to prove it.

Do more with less, we called it. The newest trend is to take a seasoned manufacturing manager and have them complete a LEAN or LEAN Six Sigma certification.

Then they apply only the processes and procedures that will benefit a their company, manufacturing process, size, and budget. No need to spend more time and money on a process that has little return. It’s refreshing to take years of been-there and done-that experience and learn how to structure that experience into a formalized program.

Anyone else agree?

Safety First!

Adverti$er Distracciones en el Sitio de Trabajo

Algunas distracciones e interrupciones en el sitio de trabajo son inevitables, pero otras – si no están debidamente controladas o reguladas – pueden conducir a lesiones, pérdida de productividad y disminución de la moral de los trabajadores.

Safety Meeting Topics From State Fund CA.

Workplace Distractions

Some workplace distractions and interruptions are unavoidable but others – if not properly controlled or regulated -- could lead to injuries, lost productivity, and a decrease in worker morale.

Work interruptions are a distraction that can result in work errors or accidents. Before addressing or responding to another person, workers should shut down or disengage any work tool, equipment, or processes.

Job training should include instructions not to interrupt others during a critical job phase or process. Instruction manuals and procedural guidebooks should be kept on site to answer frequently asked questions and thereby eliminate the need to interrupt or distract other workers.

External noise from tools, mobile equipment, and processes can be distracting in industrial and construction work environments. In work situations where loud or constant noise is unavoidable, hearing protection devices can eliminate or decrease unwanted and distracting noise. In other work environments even notso-loud sounds can be a distracting annoyance. Constantly ringing phones, conversations, and loud faxes, copiers, and printers can distract workers from their job tasks or -- depending on the level or duration of the noise -- can contribute to workplace stress.

Electronic devices such as cell phones, IPODS, and PDAs can be the source of serious distractions in some work environments. Check with your supervisor to find out if these electronics are allowed where you work. If these devices are approved in your workplace, as a courtesy to your co-workers, make sure you keep your cell phone on a low volume or silent when you work. To maximize work safety and performance, turn email notifications off and disable instant messaging. Don’t answer the phone or emails when you’re in the middle of a task – let it ring to voicemail then check messages later -- preferably on your break time.

In some work environments wearing a headset with low volume music can be relaxing to workers and help them to safely focus on their work. However, wearing headphones on a construction or industrial site can be dangerous if it prevents workers from hearing warning signals, mobile equipment backup alarms, and safety instructions.Walking around while talking on the phone or wearing a headset distracts your attention from safety and could result in a slip or fall or cause you to run into or be struck by something or someone.

Las interrupciones en sus tareas son una distracción que puede resultar en errores o accidentes en el trabajo. Antes de hablarle o contestar a otra persona, el trabajador debe apagar o desconectar cualquier herramienta, equipo o proceso que esté en funcionamiento. La capacitación para el trabajo debe incluir instrucciones de no interrumpir a otros trabajadores durante una fase crítica de la tarea o del proceso. Los manuales de instrucciones y las guías de procedimientos deben tenerse en el sitio de trabajo para contestar preguntas frecuentes y eliminar así la necesidad de interrumpir o distraer a otros trabajadores.

Los ruidos externos, provenientes de herramientas, equipos móviles y procesos, pueden ser una distracción en ambientes de trabajo industrial o de construcción. En situaciones de trabajo en las que los ruidos fuertes o constantes son inevitables, se deben usar dispositivos para la protección de los oídos con el objeto de eliminar o disminuir los ruidos no deseados que pueden causar distracciones. En otros ambientes de trabajo, ciertos ruidos, aunque no muy fuertes, pueden ser una molestia por distracción. Teléfonos que timbran constantemente, conversaciones y máquinas de fax, copiadoras o impresoras ruidosas pueden distraer a los trabajadores de sus tareas de trabajo o — dependiendo del nivel y la duración del ruido — pueden contribuir al estrés en el sitio de trabajo.

Los dispositivos electrónicos, tales como teléfonos celulares, iPods, y PDA pueden ser una fuente importante de distracción en ciertos ambientes de trabajo. Consulte con su supervisor para saber si estos dispositivos electrónicos están permitidos donde usted trabaja. Si dichos dispositivos están permitidos en su sitio de trabajo, como cortesía a sus compañeros de trabajo, asegúrese de que su teléfono celular esté ajustado a bajo volumen o silencioso en el trabajo. Para maximizar la seguridad y rendimiento en el trabajo, apague las notificaciones de correo electrónico e inhabilite los mensajes instantáneos. No conteste el teléfono ni a los correos electrónicos cuando esté efectuando una tarea – deje timbrar el teléfono y que pase a mensaje de voz y revise dichos mensajes más tarde – preferentemente durante un descanso.

En algunos ambientes de trabajo, usar audífonos con música a bajo volumen puede relajar al trabajador y ayudarlo a concentrarse en sus tareas con seguridad. Sin embargo, el uso de audífonos en sitios industriales o de construcción puede ser peligroso si impiden oír señales de advertencia, alarmas de retroceso de equipos móviles e instrucciones de seguridad. Caminar mientras habla por teléfono o usa audífonos puede distraerlo de la seguridad y puede resultar en un resbalón o caída, o ser atropellado por un vehículo o tropezar contra otras personas.

Las distracciones o interrupciones en el trabajo son cosa común, pero su capacitación debe ayudarle a recordar que debe mantener su mente Workplace distractions and interruptions are common, but training enfocada en la tarea que ejecuta. Mencione las distracciones repetidas can help you remember to keep your mind on the task at hand. Speak y/o peligrosas y piense y acepte la responsabilidad de no interrumpir o up about repeated and/or unsafe distractions and think and take distraer a otras personas. responsibility for not interrupting or distracting others.
