nccco launches crane operator certification program The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) recently made available a new CCO certification program for service truck crane operators. Service truck cranes are widely used for propane delivery, mining, and heavy equipment assembly, repair, and service, as well as by local municipalities’ service workers. Although relatively small, these cranes are still engaged in lifting operations covered by OSHA 1926 Subpart CC, which requires operators to be certified or qualified if they are involved with material delivery at construction sites.

The service truck crane industry – including manufacturers, users, dealers, trainers, and labour – requested that NCCCO develop the new program tailored to the unique needs of service truck crane operators.

Representatives from these industry sec-

tors, as well as members of NCCCO’s Written Exam and Practical Exam Management Committees, developed the new program over the last nine months.

“I am very pleased with the finished product,” said Tim Worman, Product Manager for Commercial Vehicles at Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. (IMT), Garner, Iowa, and a leading proponent of the new program who also participated on the Service Truck Crane Work Group. “The written and practical exams are challenging but appropriate for the level of knowledge and skill operators need to safely do their work. Our industry will be better off with this new tool for assessing operators’ abilities.”

A restricted version of the CCO Mobile Crane Operator Telescopic Boom – Fixed Cab (TSS) certification, the new certification has the

designation “TSS-STC.” Certification requirements include passing a single written exam and a practical exam similar to the TSS exam but modified to accommodate the smaller service truck cranes as well as the use of remote or pendant controls. Operators already holding CCO TSS certification do not need the TSS-STC certification to operate service truck cranes, but those holding the new TSS-STC certification are restricted to operating service truck cranes only.

“This industry support and subject matter expertise, as well as psychometric guidance from NCCCO and International Assessment Institute, were all key in developing this new program,” said NCCCO Manager, Program Development and Administration, Joel Oliva. “This multi-faceted approach en-

sures that the tests are (and remain) fair, valid, reliable, and legally defensible.” As with its existing programs, NCCCO conducted a professional job task analysis to serve as the foundation for exam development.

Service truck cranes are identified by their telescopic booms, where the base and mast structure is not integral to the stabilizer/ outrigger system. Lifting is typically accomplished via a winch (electric or hydraulic) and its functions (rotation, elevation, telescoping) are either powered or manual. These machines tend to have relatively shorter boom lengths (10– 35 ft.) and lower capacities (1–7 tons) as compared to

July 2013

other Telescopic Boom – Fixed Cab machines (e.g., boom trucks, carry deck cranes). Additionally, operations are usually conducted by the use of radio remote or pendant controls with the operator standing on the ground following the load.

In addition to IMT, other manufacturers of service truck cranes, including Liftmoore Inc. (Houston, Texas), Maintainer (Sheldon, Iowa), Palfinger North America Group (Council Bluffs, Iowa), Tiger Cranes (Sioux Center, Iowa), and Venco/Venturo (Cincinnati, Ohio), as well as subject matter experts from the service truck crane user community, participated

Flo components Becomes First sKF lBu system House in canada Automatic Greasing Systems specialist FLO Components Ltd. is proud to announce that it has received a letter of intent from SKF Lubrication Business Unit (LBU) designating FLO Components as a SKF

LBU System House for both LINCOLN and SKF brands. In November 2012, FLO reached an agreement with SKF LBU to become a key distributor in Ontario, of SKF Brand Lubrication Products and Solutions for

on the 17-member Service Truck Crane Work Group.

“The new TSS-STC certification program promises to bring the same safety, insurance, and risk reduction benefits that NCCCO’s other certification programs have demonstrably delivered since 1996,” said Oliva. “We anticipate this new program being highly popular among users of these cranes keen to protect their employees and manage the risks inherent in any lifting activity.”

Information about TSSSTC certification—including candidate handbooks, exam applications, and references—is available from at www.nccco.org/certification/STC.html. b industrial applications (manufacturing, processing & packaging). With this new announcement, FLO becomes the first official SKF LBU System House able to offer the entire spectrum of LINCOLN and SKF Lube Solutions, for all applications including on-road trucks and vehicles and off-road mobile and stationary equipment.

Len Shipeley, Ontario District Manager - SKF Lubrication Systems; “Over the last 35 years, FLO Components has and continues to set the standard for what a Lubrication System House should be. We look forward to seeing this same level of professionalism, commitment and expertise applied to the SKF Brand Lubrication Products platform.

Effective May 1st 2013, SKF Lubrication Solutions restructured its frontline operations and appointed FLO Components Ltd. as their full service & support partner for Ontario. FLO is now stocking a full inventory of SKF lube product. Over the short-

term, the current SKF Technical & Engineering support team will work alongside FLO to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible.”

“In fact,” added Mr. Chris Deckert, President of FLO Components, “FLO is pleased to announce it has hired an Installation Technician from SKF to join its current service and installation team.”

Commenting on its new role, Deckert said; “FLO Components has been ‘Meeting Customers’ Needs Better’ as lube solutions experts and trusted lubrication advisors with the LINCOLN brand of equipment and solutions since 1977. We look forward to providing the

SKF brand customer, with the same exceptional service and support our Lincoln brand customers have come to expect.

Deckert offers some background on how FLO obtained its new status; “The collective efforts of FLO staff has been recognized by SKF LBU management. FLO’s superior performance and on-going commitment as a team in building the LINCOLN brand over the long-term created this new opportunity for us. Since 1999, we have won five Outstanding Distributor Awards and were recognized in 2010 by then LINCOLN as an important part of their success over 100 years of Continued on page 14

Wildfire!

Front Page Story

Every year, countries, territories, states and provinces around the globe spend billions of dollars in forest wildfire prevention, management, control and extinguishment. This cost is second only to the loss in value of marketable timber as well as public and private property to say nothing of the loss of human life... to which a value cannot be placed. By Ronald Mullins

G

lobally, the largest forest wildfire in recent history was the Black Dragon Fire in China, which broke out in May 1987 along the Amur River, the boundary between eastern Siberia and Chinese Manchuria. This fire burned approximately 18 million acres (72,843 sq km) of pristine conifer forest - an area almost one and one half times that of the prov-

inces of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick combined. The worst of this conflagration took place between the evening hours of May 7 and the early morning hours of May 8, when it took most of its victims: more than 200 dead and 250 burned and injured.

The single worst wildfire in U.S. history, in both size and fatalities, was

the Great Peshtigo Fire in northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan that burned 3.8 million acres (15,378 sq km) and killed at least 1,500 during the week of October 8-14, 1871. After a hot, dry summer, strong warm autumn winds fanned the fires out of control. Fire tornadoes were reported at several locations, and the fire became so hot that people taking refuge in rivers were boiled to death. Unattended fires at logging camps in the area are believed to have caused the fire.

In October 1918, the massive Cloquet Fire in northern Minnesota is believed to have been caused by sparks from the local railroad. This forest wildfire was one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history in terms of the number of lives lost in a single day.

In total, 453 lives were lost and 52,000 people were injured or displaced, 38 communities were destroyed, 250,000 acres (1,000 sq km) were burned, and 73

million dollars in property damage was suffered.

Here in Canada, the Great Miramichi Fire in October 1825, devastated forests and communities throughout much of northern New Brunswick. It blackened almost 4 million acres (16,000 sq km) and ranks amongst the three largest forest fires ever recorded in North America. As this fire raged out of control it destroyed about one third of the homes in Fredericton, but the main devastation took place about 160 kilometers to the northeast.

On the evening of October 7, 1825, the firestorm roared through Newcastle, now part of the City of Miramichi, and in less than three hours reduced the town to ruins. To escape the blaze, many residents took refuge with livestock and wildlife in the Miramichi River. The loss of human life in and around Newcastle alone reached 160 and included all prisoners in the local jail.

Elsewhere, the totals were

likely higher, given the number of lumbermen in the forests at the time. The cause of the blaze is not known, but was likely the result of human activity.

Ontario is more than one million square kilometres in size, of which 85 percent is covered by a variety of forest types. Wildfires have always been, and will continue to be, a real threat to the forest and its human and animal inhabitants.

The province has seen a number of destructive wildfires over the years. In 1910, a forest fire in the BaudetteRainy River area killed 42 people and scorched over 308,000 acres (1,250 sq km).

The next year, the infamous Porcupine fire, one of the largest in Ontario’s history, burned almost 500,000 acres (2,023 sq km), including the towns of Timmins, South Porcupine and Cochrane.

The estimated death toll was 73. In 1916, a fire in the Matheson area burned the villages of Kelso, Val Gagne, Porquis Junction and Iroquois Falls, taking 244 lives.

The Haileybury fire in 1922 killed 43 and destroyed 6,000 homes. (Source: Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources).

In recent history, and seared into our memories, are the 2011 Flat Top Complex Wildfire in Alberta and the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park in British Columbia. The Okanagan Mountain Park Fire was caused by a lightning strike. Before it was controlled, it burned over 63,258 acres (256 sq km), destroyed or damaged 238 homes, caused the evacua-

July 2013 tion of over 33,000 people and wiped out 12 historic wooden railway trestles in Myra Canyon. Souse: BC Wildfire Management Three simultaneous wildfires, which became known as The Flat Top Complex Wildfire, combined and destroyed over 500 residences and commercial buildings in and around Slave Lake and resulted in the evacuation of almost 15,000 people. Unlike the Okanagan Mountain Park fire, this fire is believed to have been human caused. (Source: Alberta Ministry of Environment).

The most common cause of wildfires varies throughout the world. In Canada and northwest China, lightning is the major source of ignition. In the United States, the source of wildfires can be traced to both lightning strikes and human activities. In other parts of the world, human involvement is a major contributor.

Wildfires present a challenge for forest management because they have the potential to be at once harmful and beneficial. On the one hand, wildfires can threaten communities and destroy vast amounts of timber resources, resulting in costly losses. On the other hand, these fires are a natural part of the forest ecosystem and important in many parts of Canada for maintaining the health and diversity of the forest. b Copyright REMco Rock Engineered Machinery Company 2013.

FACTS ABOUT WILDFIRES IN CANADA Canada has about 10% of the world’s forests.

Each year over the last 25 years, about 8300 forest fires have occurred. The total area burned varies widely from year to year, but averages about 5.6 million acres annually.

Only 3% of all wildfires that start each year in Canada grow to more than 500 acres in area. However, these fires account for 97% of the total area burned across the country.

Fire suppression costs over the last decade in Canada have ranged from about $500 million to $1 billion a year (Source: Natural Resources Canada).

A wildfire is one of the most powerful forces in nature, as anyone who has watched its frightening fury can attest. Be careful working or playing in or near the forest or dry grasslands and be sure to report wildfires to the local authorities.

nB power launches electric vehicle demonstration project NB Power recently celebrated Clean Air Day by unveiling an electric vehicle demonstration project as part of its 10-year Smart Grid strategy.

The project evaluated the suitability of electric vehicles and electric vehicle charger technologies for New Brunswick’s geography, climate and telecommunications networks. It has the potential to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the province by ensuring customers have access to the right technology, products and services as they consider the purchase of this kind of vehicle.

“We want to help make electric vehicles a smart clean choice for New Brunswickers,” said Gaëtan Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer, NB Power. “Our Smart Grid Vision means investing in technologies that help us integrate additional clean, renewable energy onto our grid and put off investing in building fossil-fuel based generation. More electric vehicles on the road translate into lower costs for NB Power and stable rates for customers in the long run.”

The demonstration project, dubbed Shift Your Ride, has three major components: • Evaluating electric vehicle technology and programs to support charging infrastructure in businesses, communities and homes. While geography and climate are factors to evaluate, the key factor is ensuring compatibility of electric vehicle charger technology with New Brunswick’s broadband network. Electric vehicles can be charged when renewable energy is available, so real time usage information is available to Smart Grid’s virtual power plant.

• Engaging and informing New Brunswickers about the economic and environmental benefits of electric vehicles, including fuel savings and the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as the costs, locations, best practices and timing for charging of electric vehicles. NB

Power is partnering with national electric vehicle education and advocacy partners Plug’n Drive and the Canadian Automobile Association.

• Undertaking a fleet review service to enable municipalities and organizations to determine a business case and suitability of integrating electric vehicles into their fleets. NB Power has partnered with FleetCarma to offer a fleet review service with the municipalities of Fredericton, Moncton, Quispamsis, Rothesay and Bathurst as well as the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Fredericton has already received a complimentary fleet review using FleetCarma’s innovative software.

Moncton is undergoing the review while Bathurst, Quispamsis and Rothesay have agreed to take part in the project. Other municipalities are being approached.

“The City of Fredericton is excited to be involved in this progressive project with NB Power,” said Fredericton Mayor Brad Woodside. “The FleetCarma review provided us with details on a key sample of our fleet, revealing new information that can help shape future decision-making about vehicle renewal options. If we are to be sustainable, we must constantly look for new and better ways to do things.”

Thomas met with car dealers from around the province to explain the project and learn more about their plans for electric vehicle certification and sales.

“Our desire is to understand better how we can support the dealers who are already selling and servicing electric vehicles in New Brunswick and make them aware of what we are doing to support the growth of an industry that will have direct benefits for them over the long term,” said Thomas.

NB Power performed a review during the winter, evaluating the benefits of integrating electric vehicles into its fleet. The results were positive, demonstrat-

ing a strong business case for integrating five electric vehicles as well as adding to New Brunswick’s charging infrastructure with new units in Fredericton, Moncton and Bouctouche. The public can obtain access to all of the charging units.

Depending on market growth and public awareness, New Brunswick could have up to 6,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2020.

NB Power is partnering with two Canadian leaders in electric vehicle information to encourage this growth by promoting better understanding of electric vehicles, charging technology and the benefits they could provide to New Brunswick.

Plug’n Drive is the nationally recognized advocate for electric vehicle understanding, providing information to help Canadians make the best decisions for their individual needs. The Canadian Automobile Association is a recognized leader, providing 5.8 million Canadian drivers with driver education and support. It recently launched a web portal about electric vehicles aimed at making electric vehicle ownership accessible to all Canadians. b

largest national Heavy equipment show on record T

he big iron was gleaming and the floors of the International Centre were jam-packed, as the sold out National Heavy Equipment Show rolled into Toronto on April 18-19, 2013.

Over 12,000 visitors came through the doors of this massive event and they were not left disappointed.

Many remarked about the size and diversity of the heavy equipment being showcased. The aisles were packed even though the show encompassed the largest floor space ever which included almost 7.5 acres of exhibit space! Over 300 exhibitors participated in this biennial event, up 25% over the last show, some from as far away as Austria.

All the major manufacturers and brands were well represented with impressive displays featuring the latest, most innovative machinery and products on the market to date. Exhibitors reported excellent traffic and many sales and solid leads to follow up on in the months to come. Major construction projects are in the works during the next several years and the buyers were definitely at this event.

Aggregates and Roadbuilding Magazine was proud to sponsor the Gravel Pit again in Hall 5 and also produced the high cali-

ber show guide.

The Bell Push-to-Talk Backhoe Rodeo filled the bleachers once again with some of the best backhoe operators in the area taking the controls and doing the seemingly impossible with these machines. Thank you to Case, Volvo and New Holland for the use of their equipment for the rodeo.

We would like to congratulate Octavio Miranda, the winner of the 2013 NHES Backhoe Rodeo. Octavio has won every rodeo except one since 1996, so he is definitely a force to contend with. Octavio’s final time on the three machine circuit was 1:13. Second place was Joe Trecapelli with a time of 1:17 and in third place was Eric Cousins with a time of 1:26. We would like to thank David Fiddler and Most Excellent Productions for managing this exciting feature.

Thank you to the following organizations for their continued support of this event: Aggregates and Roadbuilding Magazine, the CAED, OHMPA. We now look towards 2015. Stay tuned for updates about our next National Heavy Equipment Show and we wish all of our visitors and exhibitors continued success until then. b

Canada’s Mining Industry Strong, But Challenges Ahead In a recent keynote address to the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations, Pierre Gratton, President and CEO of the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), stressed the importance of keeping Canada’s mining industry competitive for the benefit of both Quebec and Canada at large.

“Canada is currently a global mining powerhouse and its economic contributions reach far beyond the mine gate and the communities where we operate by providing high-paying jobs and spinoff business opportunities across the country,” said Gratton.

“However, our current leadership status should not be taken for granted as mining investment dollars are highly mobile and global competition for it is fierce.”

As the third largest mining region in Canada, Quebec has been an important part of this growth, but the province has recently lost ground in relative terms. Gratton noted that Quebec doubled the value of its mineral production over the past decade, but oth-

er provinces like British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador have tripled, quadrupled and even sextupled the value of mineral production over the same period.

“I am concerned that mining growth in Quebec may fall off significantly due to the present policy direction of the government,” said Gratton in relation to the expected tabling of new mining tax legislation by the Quebec government that could see high royalties and taxes placed on mining companies operating in the province. “Quebec should be aiming to maintain its status as a sophisticated mining jurisdiction, one that understands that tax instability and higher royalties will drive away investment, economic development and employment.”

By many accounts, Canada is one of the largest mining countries in the world. For example, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange are home to 58 per cent of the world’s public mining companies. Canada

is a top five producer of uranium, potash, nickel, platinum, aluminum, diamonds, zinc and steelmaking coal. Moreover, our nation’s reputation for being rich in resources led to Canada landing the top spot for attracting world exploration spending in 2011 at 18 per cent.

Canada’s mineral production in the last two years surged to new heights. In 2011, mineral production value reached a record $50.3 billion. It declined in 2012 to $46.9 billion due to some softening in the commodity market, but this figure essentially represents a return to the previous peak set in 2008.

From a Canada-wide perspective, a largely positive outlook for mineral and metal prices over the long term supported by China and other emerging markets underscores the opportunities before Canada.

However, for Canada to be able to seize these opportunities, it must remain competitive.

In his speech, Gratton stated that Canada must work to keep its competitiveness by:

Page 11

• Maintaining low inflation, reducing debts, and preserving and improving competitive tax levels.

• Staying the course as a free trader and proactively engaging the emerging markets, especially China.

• Improving the regulatory framework for mining projects, while keeping environmental protection a top priority.

• Addressing the looming skills crisis in the mining sector, which is estimated at requiring 145,000 new workers over the next decade to replace retirees and fill new positions.

• Investing in critical infrastructure to support new mining projects, including key transportation needs such as ports, all-weather roads and rail.

“To maintain our leadership, we also have to remain leaders in responsible mining and act in a way that Canadians have confidence in.

If we keep doing things right with our wealth of resources, Canadians will continue to thrive through the development and production of new mines here in Canada, the continued growth of our industry abroad, and the numerous spinoff economic and social benefits that flow from both,” said Gratton. b

argo etvs Bring a new work ethic to 8 wheelers For resource and utility industries Argo XTI 8x8, fully amphibious.

With the arrival of three “versatile” 8-wheeled platforms, Argo utility terrain vehicles have tapped into a growing range of specialized applications for highly receptive customers.

Argo’s current line of extreme terrain vehicles (ETVs) includes three baseline platforms: the Argo 8x8 HDi, Argo HD XTI and Centaur 8x8. Each baseline features a host of versatile options and components to adapt the vehicle to unique requirements in the field, backed by the manufacturer’s or dealer’s capability to customize its product as needed to suit the cus-

tomer.

Bernhard Wagenknecht, VP Sales & Marketing Argo, explains: “Our new class of ETVs was inspired by requests from business customers to push our popular UTV series even further.

They were looking for very rugged working vehicles that could take them deeper into the toughest terrain conditions, whether it’s dense bush, rock or flooded areas.”

The development of Argo ETVs began with mine exploration crews looking for more practical and more affordable ways to transport people and

supplies into remote sites around the world. Since then, Argo ETVs have also been welcomed into service for public utilities, forestry, firefighting and search & rescue.

Common ground for ETV mobility Configured to carry cargo, passengers or tools, each of the new ETVs is based on the same engineering principles that made Argo the “go to” vehicle for serious off-road enthusiasts. The design of each platform began with extreme terrain essentials, including low ground pressure, low centre of gravity,

traction and manoeuvrability. Sharing these primary characteristics, all three ETV types offer a light step on soft or sensitive terrain, excellent stability to safely negotiate slopes and rough ground, and ground-eating mobility to climb through all kinds of soft, wet and uneven terrain.

Safety is a key concern when personnel are sent into isolated work zones, so it’s a key focus for Argo as well. Tipping becomes a serious hazard on rough terrain, but Argo’s low centre of gravity makes it one of the safest off-road vehicles available. The tipping coefficient, or static stability factor, for Argo ETVs is uniformly in the range of 1.35 to 1.4. By comparison, the most popular competitive UTVs are three to four times more likely to roll over. Adding a ROPS cage will provide some protection against tipping injury, but it will also raise the centre of gravity and make the vehicle less stable as it negotiates boulders, logs and steep inclines.

Unlike most ATV/UTV -style vehicles, the Argo ETVs are able to steer through the tightest bush and rock conditions with their zero turn radius and

feature a ground clearance of 9” or more. The Argo 8x8 HDi and Argo 8x8 XTI are both amphibious, able to drive straight into and out of flooded areas and small lakes, while the larger Centaur ETV will ford streams as deep as 26”. The vehicles’ fully sealed lower body not only keeps out water and dirt, it also contains service fluids within the machine. Potential pollutants such as lubrication, oil, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze are safely held in the vehicle in case of a leak until they can be properly disposed. The ETV body also minimizes heat and spark hazards in dry forested areas and grasslands. Only a short segment of the exhaust is exposed outside the body, exiting the hull at a point three feet (one meter) above ground level.

Rough-terrain “tool carriers” For industrial explorers and crews working in the world’s most remote territories, “getting there” is only half the battle. The Argo ETVs are built for hard work, and the designers ensured that each platform would adapt readily to the many applications their owners take on. The ETVs are offered with a list of quick-change components that tailor the baseline vehicle to its job with customized equipment for carrying cargo, people, special equipment and fuel.

“Making the baseline vehicles easy to convert has really made a difference to the practicality of these ETVs,” says Wagenknecht. “We’ve had a lot of success with rental houses who stock the vehicles along with a selection of add-on components, much

as they stock attachments for other prime movers.

It lets them get more utilization from their investment, and a more satisfied customer at the end of the project.”

UTVs roll up their sleeves The Argo 8x8 HDi and Argo 8x8 XTI closely resemble previous models of ARGO UTVs in appearance, enclosed by a vacuumformed sealed body with full skid plate provided as standard. Both are powered by 31 HP (23.1 kW) Koehler Aegis 750 cc engines coupled to the triple-differential ADMIRAL standard or hightorque steering transmission developed by Argo’s parent company, Ontario Drive and Gear Ltd. (ODG). The transmission delivers even torque to all 8 tires and is up to 50% more efficient than hydrostatic drive systems.

The HDi model is rated for loads of up to 1150 lbs. (520 kg) and runs at top speeds of 20 mph (32 km/h). Its standard ground pressure with Argo’s stock 25” tires is just 2.1 psi (14.5 kPa), which can be pared down to as little as 1.06 psi with the use of Argo’s 18” wide rubber multi-purpose tracks. This excellent weight distribution is especially valuable when crews are traversing environmentally sensitive areas – the impact of the Argo vehicle is actually lighter than a man’s footstep!

Argo also offers 15” or 18” quad tracks for all of its vehicles, designed to provide increased flotation along with traction to scramble over obstacles on irregular terrain.

The XTI is a beefier vehicle with a 1500 lb. (680 kg) load capacity and a top speed of 17 mph (27 km/h).

Attendance Up For The 2013 Edition Of The Atlantic Truck Show The owners of the Atlantic Truck Show, the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association (APTA) are happy to report that the 15th edition of the event exceeded all of their expectations in terms of exhibitors, content and visitor attendance.

12,250 visitors streamed through the gates during the twoday event and they did not leave disappointed.

This is up from attendance in 2011 and show management is

extremely pleased with the results of this event.

Attendees were in awe of the gleaming displays of big rigs and industry related products and services that encompassed the entire Moncton Coliseum Complex and parking lot.

The recruitment drive was a huge hit, with visitors and company representatives pleased with the enthusiasm job seekers displayed about the industry.

Exhibitors were extremely pleased with the high quality traffic and reported solid sales activity and many leads to follow up on in the coming months.

“The show ABSOLUTELY was a success for us. We booked 6 additional loads and are sure we will recruit at least 4-5 more drivers for East Coast work, not to mention we strengthened our truck/trailer delivery position with our existing customers. We’re very happy

with the outcome,” said Wendi L. Keller with the Drive Star Group of Companies.

Brian Donovan of Permanon Canada Limited echoed these sentiments. “Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we were with the quality of the decision makers who visited our booth this year at the Atlantic Truck Show. We will be back in 2015.”

The leaders of the industry were well represented with impressive

displays featuring the latest trucks and trucking related products on the market today.

Manufacturers have raised the bar when it comes to fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly products as well as the launch of newer engines and hybrid technology which was showcased at the Atlantic Truck Show.

The new Ride and Drive was well received with many buyers enjoying the fact they could drive the latest big rigs and

compare, in one place at one time.

The APTA breakfast was well attended, as was the charity lobster dinner and silent auction with nearly 500 attendees! Proceeds from that event benefit the juvenile diabetes research.

We now look towards 2015 and our next edition of the Atlantic Truck Show and wish all of our visitors and exhibitors continued success until then. b
