Entry-level truck driver training standard moves forward at national level

anada’s transportation and highway safety ministers have delivered a promise to enhance highway safety by approving a national entry-level training standard for commercial motor vehicle drivers, which will ultimately be included in the National Safety Code. The standard is yet to be officially published but according to industry reports, it will echo mandatory entry-level training standards (MELT) adopted in Ontario. We welcome this important road safety milestone aimed to ensure that future truck drivers across Canada have the knowledge and skills to safely operate their vehicles.

Stress and poor mental health are known to affect many Canadian and U.S. long-haul truck drivers. As a first step in determining the scope of the problem, the researchers at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., are conducting an online survey on mental health issues. The study will look at risk factors for depression (such as poor sleep, fatigue, long durations of driving) and the information generated by the research will be suitably used to improve the working environment of long-haul truckers.

We encourage our readers to participate in the online survey available at roadtoday.com Truck World - Canada’s largest truck show will be held at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., from April 16-18. The show will have several new features this year including a new product window showcase, and a driving experience exhibit that will allow attendees to test their driving skills using two different interactive technologies. The new TruckTech Fleet Summit for maintenance professionals will include panel discussions on corrosion, aftertreatment systems, trailer telematics, and maintenance implications for electric vehicles. The Knowledge Stop information stops will cover topics like augmented and virtual reality, ELDs, etc. A dedicated recruitment pavilion at show will have employers hiring new drivers as well as other industry professionals. There will be fun activities for kids and families, plus chance to win many exciting prizes too.

As the official South Asian media partner, we invite all our readers to visit the show as it offers best opportunities to learn, network and equip with resources to succeed.

BRAMPTON, Ontario In his hit Truck Union music videos, featuring gleaming rigs, beautiful women and fancy cars, Surjit Khan sings about an imaginary luxury life as a longhaul driver, a profession which has become a magnet for South Asians.

But beneath the facade of the glossy image portrayed by Khan lies a grim reality – a host of mental issues, triggered by an extremely stressful job.

The problem is exacerbated by the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in the community.

The Punjabi Community Health Services (PCHS) in Brampton, Ont., has been at the forefront of providing help to distressed South Asian truckers throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

Brampton itself is home to thousands of drivers from the Indian state of Punjab.

Seven out of 10 calls the center receives are from truckers, many of them first-generation immigrants struggling to cope with the stress of their job.

To address the problem, CAMH is developing a culturally adapted form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy catered toward the community.

Dr. Farooq Naeem, chief of general and health systems psychiatry at CAMH, is leading the project, which he calls a type of “talking therapy”.

Funded by Health Canada and supported by a number of institutions including PCHS and the Mental Health Commission of Canada, Naeem’s team is gathering information to launch the program later this year.

He said the response to the announcement of the project in December was overwhelming with hundreds of people offering to participate.

“I think that means people are becoming more aware in the community, they are becoming more familiar, and they are realizing the need to get help for mental health problems,” Naeem told Road Today.

How did we get here?

Prof. Mona Shattell, associate dean for faculty development at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, has conducted extensive studies on the mental health of truckers.

She considers loneliness as one of the key factors triggering mental issues.

“Loneliness is a big problem in drivers who spend most of the hours of the day in isolation… As human beings, people need human-to-human interaction,” she said in an email to Road Today.

Shattell recalled that some truckers had told her that they were so desperate for companionship, they solicited sex workers just to talk, and not for sex.

She also attributed the poor mental health of truckers to low autonomy, low respect from members of society, low pay, long work hours and increasing pressures from companies and dispatchers.

Complicating the issues is some people’s refusal to seek medical help because of the hypermasculine image of a truck driver.

“Thus, seeking medical help, especially for mental health or emotional problems, is not seen as ‘manly’ or fitting of the image of the tough exterior of drivers,” Shattell said.

Canadian efforts In Canada, more studies are underway on the issue.

At Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., researchers are trying to pinpoint the causes of truckers’ poor mental health.

“Risk factors for depression in truckers are currently poorly understood in the literature,” the university said last month in seeking participants for the project Risk Factors for Depression in Longhaul Truck Drivers: A Crosssectional Study Design.

“This study will allow for us to better understand factors that may influence the risk of depression in truckers.”

The team is working with the Owner-Operator’s Business Association of Canada (OBAC).

“We need to have real conversations about mental health,” said Joanne Ritchie, executive director of OBAC. “And we need better research that includes input from drivers themselves about what’s happening out on the road that impacts their health and well being.”

Trucking HR Canada has been holding workshops on mental health.

It has also released a guide, Gearing up for Workplace Mental Health, to support employers in addressing mental health issues among their staff.

“Addressing mental health within the workplace has become an important issue in the trucking and logistics industry,” said Craig Faucette, director of policy and programs at Trucking HR Canada.

“Unfortunately, despite an increase in awareness there still remains a stigma associated with mental health, which can result in many individuals not seeking the help they need.”

Separately, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety is offering a free awareness course to employers and frontline workers, which will help them gain a better understanding of why mental health in the workplace matters.

What can be done?

Shattell of John Hopkins said trucking companies need to offer more health and wellness programs to drivers.

She said clinics staffed with nurse practitioners (and/or physicians and nurses) should be co-located at trucking companies and truck stops to increase drivers’ access to care.

Shattell also thinks that in the U.S., federal laws need to change to cover truckers under the Department of Labor instead of the Department of Transportation, which would afford them better worker protections.

Hydro One, OPG launch e-vehicle charging network ÔÅÂÆâð¯ ò³é Áå¶ ú.êÆ.ÜÆ. ÇòÛÅÀ°ä׶ ÂÆ-òÔÆÕñ ÚÅðÇÜ³× Ãà¶ôé» çÅ ÜÅñ Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation have announced the launch of a new company, which will create the province’s most connected electric vehicle fast-charger network.

Ivy Charging Network will have 160 level-3 fast-chargers at 73 locations across the province by the end of 2021, the two companies said last month.

The charging stations will help alleviate “electric vehicle range anxiety” as Ivy’s locations will be less than 100 kilometres apart on average, they said.

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), through its Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative (EVAFIDI), provided $8 million in repayable contribution to Hydro One and OPG to help build the network.

Ivy has chosen Greenlots, a member of the Shell Group and leader in electric vehicle charging and management solutions as its service provider to operate and manage the network.

Ivy is a limited partnership with equal ownership between Hydro One and OPG.

In January 2019, labor ministers endorsed the National Occupational Health and Safety Reconciliation Agreement that aims to reduce or eliminate trade barriers within Canada.

All jurisdictions have now signed the agreement and progress is being made towards its implementation.

IBC sets up task force to tackle soaring commercial premiums

Insights that deliver the goods

October 14, 2020 International Centre, Mississauga, Ontario

PRODUCED BY: C A N A DA’ S S U P P LY C H A I N M AG A Z I N E

The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) has established a task force to examine how rising commercial premiums is impacting Canadian companies and consumers.

The National Commercial Task Force will bring together insurers, brokers, chambers of commerce, small businesses, trucking stakeholders and risk experts to examine the impacts of the hardening global market.

The task force will develop recommendations to help keep insurance affordable and available across the country.

It will also examine ways to help consumers mitigate risk and manage costs. The report is due this fall.

The Canadian Trucking Alliance is a key member of the task force.

“This is an opportunity to explore with the insurance industry what changes the membership would like to see in the area of commercial insurance.”

In preparation for this process, CTA said, it has begun surveying its membership on potential areas for improvement they would like to see in commercial insurance.

IBC is the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, auto and business insurers.

Volvo launches electric heavy-duty truck pilot program in North America ò¯ñò¯ é¶ À°μåðÆ ÁîðÆÕÅ ÓÚ ô°ð± ÕÆåÅ ÇÂñËÕÇàÌÕ ÔËòÆ ÇâÀ±àÆ êÅÇÂñà ê̯×ðÅî “Partnership is the new leadership,” Martin Lundstedt, president and CEO of Volvo Group declared Feb. 11, just prior to Volvo parading out five battery electric VNRs as part of its LIGHTS (Low-Impact Green Heavy Transport Solution) project.

The company credited a deep roster of 14 partners, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for making the project a success.

Volvo LIGHTS was launched in 2018 and the first electric trucks were produced on schedule. They’ll be delivered to several fleets operating in California and serviced by TEC Equipment, which has installed two charging stations. About 250 people were invited to the launch, and Canadian fleets including Purolator, Bison Transport, Loblaw, Challenger, Canadian Tire and Verspeeten Cartage were represented.

LIGHTS represents a US$37-million investment from Volvo, which will put another $2 billion into North American research and development per year going forward.

Volvo initially considered importing its European FE and FL electric cabover trucks to North America, but instead opted to electrify its recently released VNR regional haul truck. By the end of this year, limited production will begin for a straight truck as well as tractors in 4×2, 6×2 with liftable axle, and 6×4 configurations rated at a 66,000-lb gross combination weight (GCW).

The heart of the driveline is a two-speed transmission, with dual electric motors to provide propulsion energy. Batteries are packaged on both sides of the chassis for easy access. The truck still has a radiator to provide battery heating and cooling.

The VNR Electric has no tailpipe, and produces no emissions. During its operating life, it will produce 40-60% less CO2 than a diesel-fueled truck. The cab interior is six decibels quieter than a diesel truck. The electric truck will first target local distribution, regional haul and construction segments. The first electric trucks are anticipated to put in 75 to 100 miles a day.

Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America, praised the LIGHTS project as a successful public-private partnership, which is helping advance the adoption of clean electric commercial vehicles.

Stop abuse of Driver Certification Program: TTSAO âðÅÂÆòð ÃðàÆøÆÕ¶ôé ê̯×ðÅî çÆ ç°ðòð寺 ì³ç ÕÆåÆ ÜÅò¶ : àÆ.àÆ.ÁËÃ.¶.ú.

The Truck Training Association of Ontario (TTSAO) has called on the provincial government to take immediate measures to stop the abuse of the Driver Certification Program (DCP).

In December, Ontario’s auditor general said in a report that the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) was allowing some partners of the DCP with a poor history of collisions to test their own employees for commercial driver licences.

The TTSAO also noted that community colleges in the program were testing their own students who are not going to be employees of those colleges.

“The TTSAO would like a full audit on all community colleges, government organizations, safety organizations and private businesses who offer the DCP,” the TTSAO said. “Additionally, the TTSAO believes a moratorium should be put on all community colleges who offer AZ testing and those students until an official investigation and audit can be facilitated.”

It said community college first-time pass rate is over 90% compared to 60% at the government-licensed DriveTest Centres. “The TTSAO believes the program is flawed,” it added.

Mike Millian, president of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC), said his organization had been vocal over the years in its disapproval of the program. “The PMTC believes it is a massive conflict of interest to allow anyone to test their own drivers and/or students.”

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. has set a record for trailer production.

The company produced just under 52,000 trailers in 2019, which included dry vans, flatbeds and refrigerated trailers.

The previous record of 49,000 trailers was set in 2015, the company said.

“2019 was truly a great year for us and a great start to a new decade,” said Craig Bennett, senior vice-president of sales and marketing.

“As a family company producing trailers since 1914, we are proud of our achievements throughout the years.

We are continuing to increase production capacity at our manufacturing facilities in order to meet the increasing demands of our trailers.”

Utility operates six manufacturing facilities across North America.

Mack Trucks is returning to the medium-duty truck market with a new Class 6/7 lineup that will be assembled at a dedicated facility in Roanoke County, Virginia.

Known as the MD Series, the trucks begin serial production late this summer and are available for order now.

The new Roanoke Valley Operations location represents a US $13-million investment for the OEM, 250 new jobs, and an annual economic impact of $364 million for the region. It was supported by a $700,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund.

“Mack Trucks is very proud to make this investment and to now offer a full lineup of Class 6 to Class 8 commercial vehicles, serving virtually every segment of the market,” said Mack president Martin Weissburg.

“The Class 6/7 market has been historically stable, 90,000 to 100,000 trucks a year in U.S. and Canada,” added Jonathan Randall, senior vice-president of North American sales and marketing. “We have a lot of customers already in our portfolio who already run medium-duty trucks, and they’ve been asking us for a single-source solution for quite a while.”

Áìç°ñ ñåÆø òμñ¯º

BRAMPTON, Ontario Sudhanshu Malhotra has an insatiable appetite for news, trucking industry news that is.

“My day starts with trucks and ends with trucks,” he said of his news-browsing habit during a chat with Road Today.

Just a few years ago, Malhotra knew nothing about the industry. Now, as the fleet manager at energy drink distributor Powerbev, he is one of the few millennials who have whole-heartedly embraced trucking.

Malhotra’s journey began in 2014, when he arrived in Canada from India as an international student pursuing business management studies at Lambton College in Sarnia, Ont. The business course made sense because he already had a bachelor’s degree in commerce, and both his father and grandfather were accountants in Ludhiana, a city in the northwestern state of Punjab.

An overwhelming majority of Indian immigrants in the North American trucking industry is from Punjab.

Malhotra, 31, got a big break soon after finishing school when he found a co-op position as a safety compliance administrator with the trucking consulting firm ABS SafeCom in Mississauga, Ont. Until then he had no interest in trucking, and unlike many of his compatriots, none of his relatives was in trucking.

“Nobody was in trucking, (I was) never asked to be in trucking, and I didn’t want to be in trucking at all at the beginning,” Malhotra said. In fact, he said he wasn’t even aware that the industry was “that big.”

“Now I love this thing. I cannot stay away from trucking.”

Always itching for more knowledge, Malhotra attends multiple events each year and takes courses that helps improve his skills.

Last June, he was among the 12 young leaders graduating from the Driven to Lead Program, affiliated to the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada.

And later this year, he plans to take a course on risk management at the University of Toronto.

At Powerbev, Malhotra manages fleet budgets, insurance, acquisition and maintenance. The company has a mixed fleet of more than 200 vehicles.

“Whatever happens to the fleet nationwide comes to me.”

A regular in trucking’s social circuit, Malhotra volunteers for several organizations.

He is also the only man on the board of the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada, an organization based

Sudhanshu Malhotra in Cambridge, Ont., which promotes the empowerment of women.

“I don’t mind being there because the women on the board want to make an impact on the industry,” Malhotra said.

Learning through women’s eyes is great too because they have a different experience and perspective, he added.

Malhotra’s message to millennials reluctant to enter the industry is that there are “tons of opportunities” awaiting them.

A recent survey suggested that millennials are warming up to non-trucker jobs even as they despise a longhaul driving career.

“I think the opportunities are not being brought to their attention. Only the driver’s job is being highlighted,” Malhotra said.

And talking of driving, Malhotra has completed the mandatory entry-level training, and hopes to acquire his AZ licence sometime this year.

“I want to experience the roads (driving a large commercial truck).”

Announced during Geotab’s Connect 2020 conference in San Diego, Calif., the integration between Drivewyze PreClear and Geotab’s telematics solution will help fleets by providing bypass opportunities at 800 weigh stations in 47 provinces and states in Canada and the U.S. Carrier bypass rates are dependent on their respective safety record, and those exemplifying a dedication to safe operations can see a bypass rate of 90% in certain locations. www.geotab.com

PTO

Eaton adds Bezares units Eaton is adding two new Bezares PTO units to its portfolio. The Bezares 95X series four-bolt, rear-mounted model for the Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies Endurant 12-speed automated transmission joins the new Bezares PTO for the Detroit DT12 automated transmission.

The Bezares 95X features pneumatic shifting and comes with three different internal ratios and popular output types. The offset design also improves the position of the attached pump, Eaton says.

The heavy-duty, two-gear 120X Series is built with an aluminum housing and fits the DT12-DA/14.92-1.0 and DT12OA/14.96-1.0. It features internal ratios of 1:1 to 1:1.8, and offers four different output positions. The DIN output option allows for multiple configuration options, too. A lube pump flange is also included with the PTO, to simplify installations. www.eaton.com 44 MARCH 2020

Details about the required updates for specific engines are offered through a Cummins portal. But the Zonar device is more than a simple conduit for the data.
