Choosing A Trucking Company — with Robert D. Scheper

Owners Worth Owning C

hoosing a trucking company to drive for requires more than just a pen and paper. Some consideration to the “unseen” is also necessary.

I’m a fairly avid fan of Dragon’s Den. Nearly every dragon has written at least one book, and I’ve read them all, except I’m not quite finished Herjavec’s second book “The Will to Win” and I haven’t picked up David Chilton’s updated “Wealthy Barber” yet (though I’ve read the original). Other than that I recommend them all for reading.

I’d like to make one special note about Brett Wilson’s book “Redefining Success” (he was a prior three season panelist). Brett focused a significant portion of his book on the concept of charity. He presented charity as a lifestyle not

just as an event, means of self-promotion or a simple tax write off.

Charity as a lifestyle is a character issue not a business decision.

Choosing a business associate requires careful scrutiny of character not just “business smarts”.

Charity requires commitment to principles that at times conflict with bottom line profits or “business smarts”. Embracing solid life principles develops trust in all relationships.

If people see that an individual adheres to values other than solely selfish gain, they will trust and invest in the individual’s ventures. Even Suzie Orman in her book and TV program often talks about the benefits of charity (apart from a tax deduction). It’s a universal principle of success.

Trust brings oppor-

tunity. Mistrust restricts opportunity by driving people away.

If one follows wealthy people around, we will eventually see some exceptional levels of discipline to character/charity issues. Many wealthy people are driven to a lifestyle of charity, not for selfpromotion but genuine compassion and empathy.

These are the kinds of people who cultivate positive opportunities through trust in principles, not selfish personal gain.

In choosing a trucking company, take a careful look at the character of the owners of the company you are thinking of

driving for. Are these the kind of people you are comfortable helping to get richer? Drivers like yourself bring in profits for the company. Do you trust they will be used well?

Money is just an amplifier of that which is in the human spirit. If money is more important than people it will be reflected in every decision they make.

If they are driven for compassion and betterment of society, it will be evident as well.

Every driver must be comfortable with the character of the people they drive for. This is not a simple step. It’s a deeply personal one. It can be

Page T-3 avoided, neglected or ignored, but will not bring the level of confidence that careful consideration will bring.

The trucking industry has a wide arrangement of different characters.

Some will agree with our values, others will not.

This choice may not always be considered important by some, but in the broad industry picture it can create significant long term conflict or benefit.

For those who drive for publicly held companies this may be difficult.

They cannot point to one person or family. They are owned by many numerous and sometimes voiceless shareholders.

In this case one should scrutinize the Board of Directors and senior management team. Proper assessment is much more dependent on each individual’s level of personal control. A public trucking company is

much more subjective to evaluate than a privately held one.

Take the time this holiday season and consider the character of the owners of the company you drive for. Take the time to thank those who support the same values you do.

Also take the time to evaluate your own association with charity. It’s the counterintuitive part of business that stands on its own and defends its own virtues very well. b Robert D Scheper operates an accounting and consulting firm in Steinbach, Manitoba.

INCREASE YOUR

BUYING POWER

By reducing your equipment purchase to a simple periodic lease payment you’ve increased the buying power of your budgets. For example, a $300,000 annual equipment budget can be leveraged up considerably with leasing, in comparison to applying the total amount to just a few purchases outright. You can also add extra features or add-ons to your equipment for very small increases in your payment.

2013 National Professional Truck Driving Championships Home Hardware driver Rob Marshall from Waterloo, Ontario, beat all competitors at this year’s National Professional Truck Driving Championships to win both Grand Champion and Rookie of the Year titles for 2013. Manitoba won the Team Trophy, and BC drivers John Broker (Port Coquitlam) and Jose Lecinana (Sooke) placed first and third in the Tandem-Tandem and Single-Single divisions, respectively, once all points were tallied on Saturday, September 21, the final day of the competition at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford.

Rob Marshall, who competes in the Straight Truck division, came away with an overall score of 430 points (out of a possible 500), 69 over the 361 average score for all competitors. Although Rob has won first place in his division at past provincial competitions – and is also this year’s Grand Champion in Ontario – this was his first National Championship (the “rookie” designation refers to participation in championship events, not to experience as a professional driver).

The Championships consist of: • a written test, which challenges the drivers’ general knowledge of the industry and equipment, • a pre-trip inspection, which approximates the drivers’ regular vehicle inspection, and • the driving competition, which simulates the everyday skills of manoeuvring, cornering and judging distance.

The written test and pre-trip inspections took place on Friday and the driving competition followed on Saturday. To compete, drivers must have no preventable accidents in the twelve months prior to the championships. A “preventable accident” could include even a minor occurrence such as a broken tail light on a trailer.

Competitors, organizers, volunteers and spectators were delighted – and relieved – that Abbotsford came through with sun on this last day of summer, in spite of rain and thunder-

storm warnings.

A banquet at the Ramada Plaza Abbotsford Hotel & Convention Centre followed the competition, with Shaun Garvey, Organizing Committee Chair, ICBC, and Gary Ryder, Chief Judge, Chevron Canada Ltd., presenting the awards to winners in each class. Tammy Clifford, Zurich Canada, handed out trophies.

The Missing Children Society of Canada is reaching out to the Canadian trucking industry for help on making communities safer for kids.

Because of its largely mobile workforce and vast transportation network, MCSC is asking motor carriers to participate in its newlylaunched CodeSearch program, a corporate volunteer partnership that unites non-profit, corporate partners, industry and law enforcement to help find missing children.

Canadian Trucking Alliance member companies and their employees would be a valuable resource in helping to find missing children because

of their breadth of resources and personnel to mobilize and quickly disseminate critical information when a child goes missing, says MCSC. Participating is easy.

CodeSearch partners download a smartphone app (available for BlackBerry and iPhone) that allows MCSC to push out critical information about a missing child at the touch of a button. If a child goes missing in your community, you’ll immediately receive an alert to your smartphone with a description of the child and other important details. Drivers can get the info directly or dispatchers can pass it to employees on the road. The app uses geotargeted technology,

meaning it will only send info about children who are missing in your area, or who may have been taken to your area. After getting the alert, all you have to do is keep your eyes open for any relevant info that can lead to finding the missing child.

A few simple steps by drivers and carriers can have a huge impact on the families MCSC serves. By becoming a part of the CodeSearch network, trucking industry employees are proactively keeping their communities safer, says MCSC. A small monthly $2 per employee fee supports the program and ongoing investigations for children who are still missing.

Joining is easy. Contact Tricia Harder at THarder@ mcsc.ca to register and for assistance in downloading the app or click here for more info about the organization and program. b

Bendix Suggests Tips For Cvsa Brake Safety Week Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC supports the annual Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Brake Safety Week campaign and inspections, which recently took place on Sept. 8-14. Also known as Operation Air Brake, the effort is aimed at reducing the number of highway crashes caused by improperly maintained or faulty braking systems, and employs teams of CVSA-certified inspectors to conduct roadside checks of commercial vehicles and their drivers.

The program targets commercial vehicles in the United States and Canada, and is conducted in partnership with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). According to CVSA, more than 32,500 vehicles were checked in 2012 during Operation Air Brake, which covered Brake Safety Week and an unannounced inspection

date in May. “Bendix shares CVSA’s commitment to Brake Safety Week and its goals of improving vehicle maintenance and inspection, which help keep roadways and commercial vehicles safe for everyone,” said Fred Andersky, Bendix Director of Government and Industry Affairs. “By emphasizing proper training and upkeep practices, Operation Air Brake provides a valuable reminder of the importance of successful inspections in today’s CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) environment.”

In preparation for Brake Safety Week, Bendix recommends that fleets and drivers familiarize themselves with the CVSA inspection requirements and procedures.

Operation Air Brake targets six items for inspection: driver’s license, registration, low air warning

PARTS, SALES AND SERVICE

device, pushrod travel (adjustment), brake linings/drums, leaks/air loss rate, and tractor protection system.

In addition to emphasizing regularly scheduled preventive maintenance and pre-trip inspections, Bendix stresses the importance of proper replacement components, air system management, and ongoing technician and driver education.

Replacement Friction Matters When regular maintenance or pre-trip inspections point to a need for friction replacement, it’s important to recognize the impact that friction selection has on safety and brake performance, noted Gary Ganaway, Director of Marketing and Global Customer Solutions for Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC (BSFB).

“With the federal Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) mandate now in

full effect, fleets need to pay close attention to the issue of replacement brake lining performance and RSD compliance,” Ganaway said. “Because not all replacement friction marketed as acceptable under RSD will actually perform to the standard, fleets should ask for evidence of compliance from their friction supplier when replacing the friction on their RSDequipped trucks.”

To support this point, Bendix compared the stopping distance performance of various linings on high performance drum brakes. The company measured the 60 mph stopping distance of a mandate-compliant vehicle with OEM brakes and high performance linings.

Bendix then replaced the friction with multiple non-high performance original equipment and aftermarket materials that had passed the FMVSS 121 dyno test, but were not suitable for mandate compliance.

With nothing else changed, the vehicle’s stopping distance increased from 215 feet using the high performance

$42,000

friction to 311 feet with the worst-performing aftermarket replacement friction – a stunning 45 percent decrease in performance. That 96-foot difference in stopping distance – a total of five passenger car lengths – is a stark illustration of roadway safety at stake.

The RSD mandate requires most trucks to stop within 250 feet. Phase one of the mandate took effect in August 2011 for new three-axle tractors with Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWRs) up to 59,600 lbs. Phase two, aimed at tractors with two axles, as well as severe service tractors with GVWRs above 59,600 lbs, took effect Aug. 1, 2013.

BSFB is a joint venture between Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Dana Commercial Vehicle Products, LLC. Keeping the Air Clean Protecting a vehicle’s air system from contamination is crucial to maintaining a safe and effective air brake system. Oil, in particular, can be very harmful to an air system, contributing to premature damage in a variety of components such as

spring brake modulating valves and brake chamber diaphragms. And oil-deteriorated seals can cause air system leaks – a target of Operation Air Brake inspections.

The installation and regularly scheduled replacement of air dryer cartridges such as Bendix PuraGuard oil-coalescing air dryer cartridges help ensure a brake system’s longevity and performance by collecting and removing solid, liquid, and aerosol contaminants before they enter the system.

“Adhering to a strict preventive maintenance schedule is key to keeping the air brake system clean and operating safely,” said Andersky, who also serves as Bendix Director of Marketing – Charging. “Air dryer cartridge replacement schedules vary according to the air compressor, operating environment, and vehicle usage, but fleets and drivers should check the functionality of their filters with monthly checks for moisture in the air brake system. If moisture is present, the air dryer Continued on page T-8

Knowledge Is Power Equipping commercial fleets, technicians, and drivers with the tools they need to ensure safe operation through assessment, maintenance, and repair is vital to the industry’s ongoing roadway safety efforts.

Both new and experienced techs need to remain upto-date on the technologies and operations of commercial vehicle safety systems.

Bendix’s commitment to technician education extends to offering field-tested sales and service professionals, a 100 percent ASE-certified field technical support team, and the Bendix Tech Team, an expert technical support phone line, among other tools.

The Bendix Brake Training School, one of the industry’s longest-running training programs, has educated more than 250,000 students since its founding more than 50 years ago.

Additionally, the Bendix On-Line Brake School (www.brake-school.com) provides free, flexible, customizable access to its

knowledge database and technical resources. The website features a menu of 5- to 7-minute video segments, as well as a broad range of other training tools on all aspects of electronics and air brake maintenance.

“Round-the-clock access to specific training gives companies and technicians the best means of advancing their skill sets on the topics that matter most to them,” said John Reid, Bendix Service, Warranty, and Training (Swat) Team Manager. “As safety technologies advance, technician training and knowledge are more critical than ever to keeping vehicles on the road in good working condition.”

Through these efforts and its ever-growing portfolio of technology developments, Bendix delivers on areas critical to fleets’ success: safety, product performance, value, and post-sales support. Bendix aims to help fleets and drivers lower total cost of vehicle ownership and strengthen return on investment in equipment and technology, improving safety for everyone sharing the road. b

Public To Have Say In B.C. Highway Speed-Limit Review The government of B.C. is reviewing speed limits on longer stretches of provincial highways between communities, and will be seeking public input starting this November as part of the process.

Public input, along with information gathered through a technical review of provincial highways, will be considered to identify areas where speed-limit changes would be appropriate.

The initial technical review is already underway. This work includes an evaluation of the latest research from around the world, as well as specific characteristics of B.C. highways, such as travel speed, safety history and the volume and mix of traffic.

Public engagement is an important part of the speed-limit review, and British Columbians will be able to have their say on rural highway speed

limits at public forums in communities around the province, as well as through social media and online feedback.

Forums will be held in Kamloops, Chilliwack, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Vancouver, Kelowna and Cranbrook starting in November, with additional communities added as necessary.

At the same time, government will be seeking public input as it reviews how to reduce the risk of wildlife-related crashes on rural provincial highways, and reviews how to best ensure the safe movement of slower vehicles.

The ministry will also be seeking input from the Union of B.C. Municipalities, ICBC, police and other key stakeholders.

Practical recommendations from this review and a strategy for implementation will be ready in early spring 2014. b

Mobile Devices To Trigger Truck Inspections

PROFAB MANUFACTURING LTD. PROFAB Manufacturing Ltd. 9366 SMILEY ROAD, Chemainus, CHEMAINUS,BC BC 9366 Smiley Road, PH: 250-416-0212 FAX: 250-416-0232 FAX: 250-416-0232 www.profabmanufacturing.net

Since 1996 Since 1996 The use of smartphones to enable electronic truck inspections and weigh station bypasses is growing the U.S. In July, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration began allowing states to use wireless mobile data devices such as smartphones, tablets and onboard computers to serve as transponders in electronic truck inspection and weigh station bypass systems and since then, reports CCJ magazine, more states are looking into using new transponders to identify commercial vehicles as they approach inspection points.

DriveWyze’s preclearance program, for example, allows states to establish the automated criteria they use to determine whether to inspect a vehicle or issue a green light for bypass through an app on a mobile device. The GPS-enabled app triggers a message that

automatically identifies the motor carrier in the screening software system used by enforcement officers.

Drivewyze’s service already is active in 16 states, with agreements in place with four more, reports CCJ. Prior to FMCSA’s announcement, only DSRCenabled transponders satisfied the agency’s requirement for electronic inspection systems if states were to receive federal funding. That’s because DSRC was the only technology available at the time of FMCSA’s earlier mandate.

FMCSA says mobile data devices will accelerate the adoption of electronic bypass systems that now are used by 39 states.

With the new technology, state agencies can set up inspection sites anywhere through geofencing by creating a virtual perimeter around a geographic area – eliminating the need to use fixed sites only. b

Truckers And Cops Unite To Fight Crime Truck cargo crime is a $5 billion-problem in Canada, costing half-a-million dollars a day in the GTA alone. Experts say it’s a financial drain on the economy and, with proceeds often funding violent organized crime syndicates, cargo crime also places a social burden on communities.

Recently, the trucking industry, law enforcement and industry stakeholders came together to try and put an end to this growing problem.

Launched by the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) – in partnership with the Ontario Trucking Association and Verisk Crime Analytics Canada – Project Momentum kicked-off recently in Buford Ont. as an initiative to raise awareness and share mitigation strategies on the growing threat of cargo crime in the high-risk corridor along Highway 401.

Taking part in the day’s events were various police forces, the Insurance Bureau of Canada and private

insurance companies, and dozens of trucking companies from Southwestern Ontario.

Participants discussed how the theft of mobile equipment and goods in transit, storage and in retail locations is a major economic burden on the Canadian economy, provides funding for organized criminal networks and has been linked to smuggling and national security threats.

“Because of the lack of national attention this issue receives, cargo crime is unfortunately seen by criminals as low-risk with huge profits,” says Jennifer Fox, VP Trade and Security, CTA. “The impact to Canadians, however, is quite significant and the ripple effects are far reaching. Additionally, while these types of crimes are rarely mentioned on the evening news or the front page, you can be sure the proceeds from cargo crime support some of the higherprofile criminal acts people do hear about often.

Thomas Built Starts Production On CNG Minotour Thomas Built Buses recently announced it will further expand its alternative-powered product offerings with the pilot production of a Minotour school bus fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Pilot production starts now with the official production start set for early 2014.

The new Type A CNG Minotour, which will be converted by IMPCO Automotive, will utilize a GM 6-liter

engine on the 4,500 series cutaway chassis. The 30-passenger bus will utilize Type 1 CNG tanks with a 26 gasolinegallon equivalent fuel capacity. It will be CARB-certified and exceed EPA 2010 emissions requirements.

“We debuted our very first compressed natural gas bus over 20 years ago,” said Kelley Platt, President and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “Since then, we’ve put more than 2,000 CNG

“It’s time to stop treating cargo thefts as a victimless crime.”

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has been identified as a “hot spot” for criminals engaged in cargo crime with a vast pipeline that stretches across the Windsor-Montreal Hwy 401 trade corridor. Police say that recent incidents indicate an increasing amount of cargo theft in Southwestern Ontario.

“Carriers are leading the charge. Being an active carrier doesn’t indicate that you have a problem, but that you are part of the solution,” says Jeff Bryan, OTA Chair. “I invite all stakeholders in the supply chain to come to the table to help us incite legislative changes.”

David Shillingford, President of Verisk Crime Analytics, said Project Momentum promotes a heightened awareness of the risk of cargo crime, as well as collaboration amongst the stakeholders impacted by cargo and equipment thefts. “Increased enforcement, crime suppression initiatives, and community engagement are among the measures we are sharing to help prevent theft and facilitate stolen cargo and equipment recovery. b buses on the road, and we are proud to add the new CNG-fueled Minotour to our family of alternativefueled buses.”

Thomas Built’s green vehicle lineup also includes the propane-fueled Minotour and HDX CNG models. A propane-fueled offering of the innovative Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 bus will be available in early 2014.

The CNG Minotour will be converted at the IMPCO Automotive Union City facility, an ISO 9001-2008 certified manufacturing facility which produces on average 3,000 – 5,000 vehicle conversions per year. b

At the Shenzhen Expo, Allison displayed examples of its 5th Generation electronic controls including upgraded hardware and software. The controls are flexible providing optimal shift strategies for greater efficiency. Embedded in the 5th Generation control module is a new inclinometer; its precision and responsiveness improve vehicle performance with faster, more accurate shift schedules, resulting in further reductions in fuel consumption. This new

generation of electronic controls also provides two additional levels of acceleration management, allowing for a greater ability to improve fuel economy by controlling engine fuelling while moderating aggressive driving practices.

Currently, Allison is demonstrating the value of its products in Beijing on Special Bus Lines 4 and 5. There are now 60 Foton Ouhui BJ6128C8BCD double-decker LNG buses, which meet GBIV emission standards, that are using a 290hp Iveco F2BE0642F*B 6-cylinder turbocharged natural gas engine and an Allison T325R 6-speed automatic transmission.

Adopting natural gas as fuel can effectively reduce 90 per cent of PM2.5 emissions.

Allison’s Continuous Power TechnologyTM provides an optimal solution for effective fuel savings and excellent operational efficiency. Allison’s patented hydraulic torque

ANNOUNCEMENT

converter replaces a conventional manual clutch, while multiplying engine torque during initial startup and acceleration, to provide a smooth launch. This transfer of uninterrupted power to the drive wheels enhances vehicle efficiency and performance.

As of April, Beijing citizens will now be able to see 50 JNP6130GSC Youngman double-decker buses in operation; each equipped with a GBVcompliant Cummins engine and an Allison fullyautomatic transmission.

These buses consume three litres less fuel per hundred kilometres when compared to other vehicle models with similar configurations.

Automatic transmissions have also enriched the image of Chinese bus OEMs, signifying the advanced level of the highend products being offered. In fact, OEMs such as Foton, Youngman, Shudu, Alfa and FAW exhibited their Allisonequipped city, natural gas and school buses, at both the 2013 Nanjing Bus Expo and the Beijing International Exhibition on Buses, Trucks and Com-

Over 300 OEMs globally have chosen Allison transmissions due to the high fuel efficiency and reliability advantages, made available exclusively through advanced fully-automatic technologies.

“Technical innovation is an inexhaustible driver at Allison,” says Steven

Chew, Managing Director for Allison Transmission China. “We will continue to drive development of automatic transmission technology by providing highly efficient operational performance through enhanced functionality, advanced electronic controls and integrated fuel-saving technologies.” b

Atlantic Truckers Talk Driver Shortage Fixes The driver shortage is a serious issue, says Kelly Henderson, the Executive Director of the Trucking Human Resources Sector Council Atlantic.

Henderson echoed the conclusion from the Conference Board of Canada report that by 2020, the industry could face a driver shortage of 33,000 truck operators.

Mandatory entry-level training, or an apprenticeship type model, according to the panelists, can improve the current standard.

According to Easson, the job can be demoralizing when truckers are

forced to wait for their schedules or left idling at a shipper’s facility waiting for their truck to unload.

Rearranging operations so dispatch plans are forward looking will aid wait times.

“Take long haul trips and break them up so drivers aren’t on the road and away from their family for a week or more,” said Easson.

Easson’s other suggestions to help build a stronger workforce with less turnover include maintaining a fleet with better equipment and rewarding the positive in the work environment. b

Eaton’s South Bend Facility Brings Forging Operation In-House Eaton has announced that its South Bend, Indiana, facility has added a $1.9 million cross-wedgerolling machine for use in the production of transmission shafts for heavy-duty trucks.

The new machine improves manufacturing efficiency by completing a forging process in South Bend with the cross-wedgerolling system. It replaces a hammering press operation that previously was outsourced.

In a traditional hammering press, brute force is used to forge a hot piece of steel into the size and shape required by customers. With Eaton’s new cross-wedge-rolling machine, steel is heated to

2200 degrees Fahrenheit and rolled – rather than pressed – to form the transmission shafts.

Built in Belarus, Eaton’s cross-wedge-rolling machine is one of less than 10 such systems in the world – and one of only a few in the United States.

The South Bend plant currently is completing tests of the new machine, which is expected to be fully operational by mid-September.

“This is a unique process that will significantly improve our manufacturing efficiency,” said David Larkins, South Bend Plant Manager. “We’re very excited to have it here in South Bend.”

The South Bend plant supplies gear forgings to

three Eaton facilities – in Kings Mountain, North Carolina; Shenandoah, Iowa; and San Luis Potosi, Mexico – which assemble them into transmissions for leading global truck manufacturers. South Bend also supplies precision gear forgings for use in off-road and watercraft recreational vehicles.

In 1989, Eaton acquired the South Bend plant, which is part of the company’s Vehicle Group business, and employs more than 110 people. The facility contributes nearly $200 million to the local economy through taxes, wages and supplier impact. In addition, Eaton South Bend and its employees donated $41,000 in 2012 to local community organizations such as the United Way of St. Joseph County, La Casa de Amistad Hispanic Community Centre and the St. Margaret’s House centre for women and children. b
