Attendance Up For 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 were 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

PACCAR Parts To Celebrate Its 40th Anniversary In 2013 PACCAR Parts celebrated its 40th anniversary on May 1, marking four decades of global leadership in commercial vehicle parts and service.

In 1973, PACCAR Parts opened its first Parts Distribution Center (PDC) in Renton, Washington.

Today, PACCAR Parts’ worldwide network spans 15 PDCs on five continents and champions new technologies in parts distribution.

“Over the past 40 years, PACCAR Parts has developed a global distribution network built on innovation and technology, to deliver quality parts when and where they’re needed,” said Darrin Siver, PACCAR Parts General Manager.

PACCAR Parts increased its global reach in the 1990s, expanding to Australia, Mexico and throughout Europe and South America. As the di-

vision grew, its focus on technology continued, including an advanced electronic catalog system and groundbreaking inventorymanagement systems. The exclusive TRP line of allmakes aftermarket parts was launched in Europe, and has become a worldwide brand.

“The global growth achieved by PACCAR Parts in its first 40 years is a significant accomplishment,” said Dan Sobic, PACCAR Executive Vice President.

“This foundation of leadership and innovation sets the stage for further worldwide growth over the next 40 years.”

This focus on leadingedge products and services brings PACCAR Parts customers world-class support as well. PACCAR Parts Fleet Services supports fleet customers in North America and Europe. CONNECT online maintenance

Fully-Automatic Transmissions Make Asphalt Spreaders More Attractive To Truck Buyers SpriderMaskiner AB, a company which develops special asphalt spreaders for smaller surface areas, specifies Allison transmissions, not only for their performance and durability, but also to ensure vehicle appeal. The most recent delivery by the Swedish family-owned company was a Volvo FE 340 6x2 equipped with the Allison 3000 Series fullyautomatic transmission.

The unique design of the flexible, truckmounted Sprider system eliminates the daunting work of manually spreading asphalt in places where larger machines struggle to manoeuvre. The design consists of a remotecontrolled, jointed hydraulic transport arm, which is mounted at the back of the truck to move asphalt forward with a worm-screw.

The arm has a maximum length of five meters and can cover a 48 m. sq. surface without moving the truck for-

ward, thereby eliminating the need for laborious work requiring a shovel or wheelbarrow.

“Since the company started, we have delivered over 400 Sprider systems to customers in many European countries. Most of them have been installed on customers’ existing trucks, but we can also deliver completely new trucks.

We buy the chassis and asphalt loading platforms from truck manufacturers and body builders, then equip them with our Sprider system,” says Tommy Sjögren, Managing Director and part owner of SpriderMaskiner AB. SpriderMaskiner AB produces a few trucks each year, which are kept as spare stock to ensure constant availability; however, this poses a potential economic risk for the company.

“So far, our strategy has worked well, but we do take steps to make the trucks as attractive as possible to

and inventory software enables control over parts inventory and service scheduling for customers and repair shops.

“Technology has always been at the centre of PACCAR Parts’ success and excellent reputation with customers,” Siver said.

“Systems such as Managed Dealer Inventory, as well as distribution technology such as voice-activated order picking, have streamlined supply-chain operations and created value for customers around the world.”

As PACCAR Parts celebrates its 40th year, the division looks forward to continued growth and success, recently opening a new world-class, state-ofthe-art PDC in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. “It takes clear, well-defined, strategic goals to set the direction for the continued growth of PACCAR Parts,” Siver said. “Our achievements and results are made possible by the hard work and ingenuity of all PACCAR Parts employees. Together, we will continue to set new records.” b potential customers as a way of reducing the risk of spare trucks going unsold. That is why we equip trucks with Allison fully-automatic transmissions. This has proven to make them significantly more attractive,” Sjögren continued. “Recently we delivered a complete truck to Swea Asfalt i Väst AB. It was a Volvo FE 340 6x2 equipped with an Allison 3000 Series transmission.”

Mattias Hedin is the driver of this truck, and he has been using Allison fully-automatic transmissions in similar trucks for a year.

“At least 90 percent of the time, I drive in Gothenburg’s heavy city traffic. I think the transmission works perfectly under these erratic conditions, and I wouldn’t want to have anything else. The truck has good driving characteristics thanks to the torque converter, which provides prompt vehicle response. It’s easy to manoeuvre in city traffic and on narrow routes like bicycle paths, parks and pavements, where we often work,” said Hedin. b

Spec’ing Your Taxes — with Robert D. Scheper

From Driver To Lease Operator To Owner Operator To Trucking Company M

ost every driver has been tempted to consider owning their own rig (no matter how fleetingly).

When 8-12% of all drivers are operators, the remaining 88-92% naturally compare. Some comparisons last only a few seconds, while others roll it around in mind for decades. Most (obviously) don’t take the plunge. They stay the course and safely huddle in their fortified trucking careers (not that they may not venture out in things non-trucking related).

Seeing that about 10% accept the challenge, it’s a worthy objective to present a road map for those whose thoughts entertain rolling ideas. Society consists of many different types of personalities and abilities. There will always be those who engage themselves in entrepreneurial thoughts. Their minds are seldom satisfied with the status quo, no matter how pleasant and productive it is for them. They are not necessarily enticed by money and power, but usually the challenge itself.

It’s the challenge to create their own destiny and build

something they can call their own. Operators have a thread of independence and courage that the remaining 90% either do not have, apply in other fields, or simply ignore. Having the entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t guarantee success at anything, except maybe partially understanding restlessness.

Some have strongly implied that operators are a thing of the past, to which I respond, only if the entrepreneurial spirit dies in the society as a whole. Trucking companies generally acknowledge that operators perform 25-30% more than company drivers. It may well be because they are more driven… (“pun alert”).

As in my first book, I define Lease Operator and Owner Operator differently. Usually the terms refer to operators who lease their truck versus those who own them. Probably these definitions originated from trucking companies who tried to categorize their in-house operators (comparing regular operators from those in the company “truck lease pro-

BCTA Partners To Offer Training To Youth Interested In Professional Driving Careers School District 73 (Kamloops/Thompson) and the BC Trucking Association (BCTA) recently announced they will partner to develop and deliver a Professional Driver Training Program through NorKam Secondary School’s new Trades Centre of Excellence, with enrolment of students in Grade 10 targeted for September 2014.

The program, the first of its kind for high school students in BC, will join three other technical trades training programs at the NorKam Trades Centre of Excellence, which is now in the design phase following the signing of a formal project agreement with the provincial government in March 2013.

“Thanks to the vision

of the Board of Education and Senior Administration, students with the interest and aptitude to pursue a career in trucking will have a head start in high school, mastering a curriculum endorsed by the industry, and they’ll be job ready upon graduation” says Greg Howard, District Principal, Trades N’ Transitions.

Louise Yako, President & CEO, BCTA, says that this partnership couldn’t have come at a better time for the trucking industry. “Trucking companies across Canada are facing a shortage of from 25,000 to 30,000 professional drivers by 2020, largely due to retirements in the industry.

BCTA has been aware of the shortage for some time, but the challenge was to

grams”). The terminologies have also become somewhat interchangeable. The reason I define them differently is because the operator industry has two very different business model contracts available to drivers.

I define a lease operator as one who gets paid cents per mile while an owner operator as one who gets paid percentage of the freight charged to the customer. The two business models require completely different skill sets, and can get completely different results if the skill sets are not properly aligned.

A lease operator’s first concern is miles, miles, miles! Their next concern is the efficiency of their personal cost per mile because their revenue is a fixed rate (such as the word “lease” implies).

Their profit is (should be) completely dependent on their operating efficiency and not market fluctuation. If market freight rates go up (or down) their revenue doesn’t change. If the market price for fuel goes up (or down) their net fuel expense shouldn’t go up

or down either (assuming they are getting standard fuel economy from their truck operations). Companies who set their fuel surcharge for their lease operators at 12.5 miles per gallon (actual example) are consciously exposing their operators to an illegitimate business practice (they are thieves).

An “owner” operator has an inherent sense of risk associated with ownership. They are exposed to the market fluctuations of their asset. Therefore owner operator is the business model that best describes a contract that exposes them to empty miles, freight rate volatility and market fuel costs (just to name the big ones). The type of contract that is fully exposed is generally referred to as “percentage”.

The mindset of the owner operator is revenue per mile (over time). If you have an opportunity to pick up a backhaul load for $5.50 per mile but have to wait 10 weeks for it… it doesn’t pay to stick around.

But waiting for two days for an extra $1000 is often times worth it.

find a way to engage youth and promote their interest and entry in the industry.

We’re extremely excited to be taking part in this program.”

BCTA will work in cooperation with School District 73 to develop a training curriculum suitable for youth. This would consist of introductory modules for students in Grades 10 and 11, followed by a full semester of driver training in Grade 12, including training “in-cab” using a driving simulator. BCTA was instrumental in the development and pilot test of an industry-supported Professional (Truck) Driver Training Program, completed in 2010, which may serve as the model for the NorKam program.

“Increased opportunities for all types of trades training are important for BC students,” says Howard. “By offering high-

school level Professional Truck Driver Training at the Trades Centre of Excellence, we’re making training more accessible and affordable for those who want a career in trucking.

We’re also meeting the needs of BC’s industry at the same time. It’s a terrific opportunity for both.”

A Steering Committee consisting of representatives from School District 73, BCTA, Thompson Rivers University, and the Asia Pacific Gateway Skills Table will oversee development of the program, with delivery of the Grade 10 curriculum for approval by January 2014 and implementation in September 2014. Curriculum for Grades 11 and 12 would follow in 2015. The Steering Committee will be supported by two sub-committees made up of trucking industry employers and subject matter experts. b

Page T-3 Most lease operators can make the leap to owner operators… but not all. Some (albeit a small amount) just don’t get it. Some will never get it.

For some, making the leap from a driver to a lease operator may not be as “risky” as leaping from a driver to an owner operator (the market exposures add complexity, requiring market freight knowledge such as lanes/ rates/loops as well as other factors). The trust level toward the trucking company also rises exponentially. If you don’t possess the added skill set, the learning curve may be too long to financially weather.

For many, moving from an owner operator to a trucking company may not be nearly as “risky” as the move from a lease operator to an owner operator. If you’ve been successful as an owner operator (running percentage) you have learned freight rates/lanes/loops fuel hot spots, cold spots, freight cycles and seasonal fluctuations. The primary difference between being an owner operator and running under your own authorities is now YOU quote the company, YOU

invoice your bill, YOU have your own customs concerns, YOU deposit your own check and YOU pay your own fuel cards.

The leap is almost entirely administrative. You may have to market and present yourself directly to the customer, but the entire trucking industry is built on reputation not buttkissing. For the serious business minds there is a much higher requirement for action than words.

Building a career into a business, into a venture into a dynasty is the story of all free markets. Running down the road today, maybe in the lane beside you is the next generation’s industry leader. Maybe it’s you! Nobody knows that for sure… except maybe you! b Robert D Scheper operates an accounting and consulting firm in Steinbach, Manitoba.

Minding Your Business by Kathryn Thorpe Klassen

that it isn’t safe to go the speed limit. Whatever their reason, they often impede traffic and can be frustrating to be stuck behind.

Regardless of their reason, you may come upon these individuals quickly and with little warning.

Keep your eyes peeled in front of you for slow moving objects on the highway.

Make sure you are prepared to slow in time if you cannot safely manoeuvre around the camper.

Keep your cool. It is frustrating for all drivers, professional or not, to be stuck behind someone doing 80 km/h on a highway where everyone else wants to be doing 110. But you have a company name on the side of your door, and it is up to you to maintain a professional, courteous manner and represent your company in a civilized, safe manner.

Watch out beside you, especially when driving amidst campers and motorhomes. While being in a large tractor trailer doesn’t exactly let you hide in another driver’s blind spot generally, there may be individuals hauling very long camper trailers without decent mirrors or knowledge of how to use them.

Last but not least, we have construction. Slow

down. Obey posted limits.

There are men and women working on these sites and they want to be safe.

Holding a stop sign on the side of the road is probably not that college student’s idea of a good time, but you can bet that they value their life just as much as you value yours, and a loaded semi bearing down on them at 80 km/h is no doubt intimidating.

In addition to the safety of construction workers, slowing down for construction will benefit your pocket book in the long run. Too many hard miles hitting the bumps and potholes on construction sites will take its toll on your truck. Your suspension, your tires, your freight, and the cup of coffee in the holder will all be better off the slower you go.

While all of these hazards have the potential to get in your way, slow you down, or distract you from your driving it is in your best interests to take extra precautions when manoeuvring amongst them. After all, nothing will slow you down more than sitting on the side of the highway explaining to the officer what happened, and waiting for the tow truck to recover vehicles involved in an accident. b

“We are greatly pleased that the OTA has chosen our great Foundation to partner with what promises to be a fun, unforgettable event,” says Scott Smith, Foundation Chairman and President of J. D. Smith and Sons. b

Summer Safety

t’s July – sunny, warm, the birds are singing.

There is no snow on the ground, you’re not likely to hit a patch of ice, but there are plenty of other hazards on the road that can bring you to a screeching halt.

Kids are out of school, families are on vacation, motorcycles are hitting the open road, construction is in full swing, and it can all have an impact on your job, your schedule and your safety.

As a professional driver, there are a number of things that you can do that will ensure your safety and the safety of everyone else on the road this summer.

Let’s start with those motorcyclists.

Many professional drivers also ride motorbikes, and those who do, are already aware of the dangers that trucks present to motorcyclists. If you have never ridden a motorcycle,

it can’t hurt to understand a little of what a bike rider experiences when meeting trucks on the highway.

Ask any regular rider if they’ve ever been thrown around by the wind created when meeting an oncoming truck on a two lane stretch of road and they will likely have a story or two to tell about how they were thrown around by the force of it.

Motorcyclists know that in an showdown between themselves and a semitruck and trailers, they are not going to come out on top. It’s the biggest guy who wins, and a tractor trailer weighing multiple tonnes will always win the match when facing off against a motorcycle.

Being on a motorcycle is a thrill all on it’s own, and there are some riders who will speed excessively, take corners dangerously fast and cut in and out of

traffic. As a professional driver, you need to be aware of these individuals on the road. Use extra diligence, continuously checking your rear view mirrors, keeping an eye out for riders coming up excessively fast so that they don’t take you by surprise.

Motorcycles are significantly smaller than your vehicle is, and smaller than regular passenger vehicles as well. Often times, in two-vehicle collisions that involve bikes, the motorist didn’t even see the bike.

Keep your eyes peeled when off the main drags.

Many motorcyclists out for a ride favour twisty, hilly roads over flat, straight highways, and these roads will give you even less warning that one is approaching.

When travelling at highway speeds on two-lane roadways, when you see a motorcycle approaching,

July 2013

consider reducing your speed slightly and moving to the right. The rider should move to his or her right as well to reduce the press of the air created by your semi on the bike. You moving over a slight bit will help to further reduce the effects on the crosswind created or diminished by your much larger vehicle.

While excessive speed is a factor with motorcycles, families towing campers and large motorhomes often create the opposite problem. They are regularly seen moving significantly slower than the flow of traffic.

While you have had formal training and testing, and likely plenty of experience pulling a trailer, most of the people pulling large campers down the highway have not. They may be nervous about towing a trailer, they may not have a sufficiently large vehicle to pull their trailer at highway speeds or just think

Whether it’s two or 18, truckers sure know their wheels. On Sept.

12th they’ll prove it, at OTA’s inaugural crossOntario, Big Wheels Bike & Car ride for motorcycle, hot-rod and classic car enthusiasts in the trucking industry.

A brand new, interactive OTA Premiere Events website dedicated to the Big Wheels Rally is now live at OTARally.ca and our easy, online registration is open.

The OTA Big Wheels rally is a one-of-a-kind, moderately-routed adventure ride through the hills and valleys of Ontario which will kick-off from various starting points across the province.

Each leg of the cruise will

converge at Horseshoe Valley Resort in Barrie for a show ‘n shine contest, BBQ and drinks, relaxation and networking. Stay overnight and enjoy the resort’s golf and other amenities the following day or – for those diehard riders – saddle back up and make your way to Port Dover for the legendary Friday the 13th!

All OTA member and invited non-member carriers and suppliers who own a motorcycle, vintage cars or sports cars and trucks are welcome. But you don’t have to ride or drive to attend. Register to just meet up at Horseshoe Valley for some fun, food and networking!

Minister Fletcher To Truckers: Feds Addressing Industry Issues Minister of state for transport, Steven Fletcher, told a large gathering of carrier members of the Canadian Trucking Alliance that he will recommend the federal government moves to address several issues affecting the industry, including improving highway infrastructure, continuing to work on an EOBR policy and reducing the “regulatory burden” on the industry by streamlining rules from province to province.

Fletcher, who has been travelling across Canada meeting trucking industry representatives about the business issues they face, wrapped up his tour with a stop at the CTA’s annual spring retreat.

Fletcher said Transport Canada has a limited role in regulating trucking, but at the same time it is responsible for a number of issues affecting the industry, including hours of service and environmental regulations and ensuring that trucking safety rules remain consistent across the country.

“Your industry is a critical link in the supply chain that moves goods from producers and sup-

pliers to markets. Without it our domestic transportation system, our trade with the U.S. and the entire Canadian economy would look about as good as the chances of the Phoenix Coyotes winning their division this year,” the charismatic Winnipeg Jets fan quipped, prompting chuckles from a room of over 100 carrier owners and managers. “As the saying goes, if you got it a truck brought it.”

On improving border infrastructure, Fletcher emphasized the federal government’s recent spate of funding announcements for various Canada-US land crossings as part of the Beyond the Border Action Plan. He said the funding will increase capacity for commercial traffic, reduce wait times at the border and strengthen security.

“But crossing the border is just part of the journey. You also need good roads to get the goods there,” said Fletcher, adding that the CTA’s infrastructure wish list has been invaluable in helping the government prioritize projects.

He added that he and Transport Minister Denis

damage often associated with traditional cranelifting methods; • Specially designed railcars deliver a superior ride quality, reducing the potential for in-shipment damage; How Expressway Works • Trucking companies make reservations online or by phone; • Expressway terminal employee will meet driver and confirm reservation with hand held booking in device; • Expressway driver unloads trailer and your driver will check out in less than 15 minutes; • Expressway specially-designed tractor unit loads trailer onto specially designed railcar and trailer is securely hitched; • Expressway cargo is delivered at destination without risk of freight damage; • Trucking company picks up trailer at destination. b Lebel are meeting with trucking industry stakeholders to guide development of a future long-term strategy under the Building Canada Plan.

Fletcher said that Transport Canada is working with the provinces and territories on Safety Rating Reciprocity and to establish National Safety Code standards.

Based on the meetings with trucking associations across the country, he understands the importance of such issues as roll stability control, indemnification clauses in freight contracts, and EOBR legislation.

In response to a question of whether he will include a recommendation to adopt an EOBR mandate, Fletcher fell short of making a commitment, indicating there are still issues to be ironed out. However, he said “it seems like a no brainer” as a way to improve highway safety and level the competitive playing field.

A hot topic at this year’s retreat, the driver shortage was another issue Fletcher weighed in on. He identified the driver shortage as a major problem – in particular “in the fast-growing Western provinces” – and acknowledged that efficient, free-flowing crossborder trade with the U.S. is also vital to the health of the trucking industry. b

He has been with the Trimac Transportation since May 1992. He became the Vice President of Operations in August 2011 and prior to that he was the Vice President of the Eastern Canadian operations for seven years.

He is fluently bilingual in French and English and managed Trimac’s Quebec operations for two years.

Prior to joining Trimac, he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company for 10 years in a senior operations role.

Prior to being involved with AMTA, he served on the Board of the Ontario Trucking Association.

“It is an honour to be elected to lead the AMTA board at a time when the Alberta association is making great strides on so many issues of importance to Western carriers,” he says.

A passionate advocate for having the occupa-

tion of professional driving recognized as a skilled trade, Hamel says he sees addressing the industry’s deepening driver shortage as a leading action item the association.

“While there are other strategic priorities for AMTA to pursue, they will be meaningless if we do not have professional drivers available to meet the demands of shippers.”

A step in the right direction will be for Alberta to adopt a new minimum commercial driver training standard, an initiative currently being developed by

parts, arrange for service and repair the problem.

“Being recognized with an Edison Award is a significant honour, and we are proud that Detroit Virtual Technician has earned this achievement,” said Richard Shearing, General Manager of Sales, Detroit. “Virtual Technician is a ground-breaking technology that underscores our unwavering commitment to providing our customers with the most advanced tools to increase productivity and efficiency.”

Virtual Technician is part of the Detroit brand family, which includes Detroit DT12 automated manual transmission, Detroit Axles, four different displacement Detroit engines and Detroit Visibility. This is the second award given to Detroit Virtual Technician as in 2012 it received the ATA’s Technology and Maintenance Council’s Best of the Best award. b AMTA. And, for AMTA to continue support of initiatives developed by the CTA Blue Ribbon Task Force on the Driver Shortage.

Of course, AMTA must continue to champion other efficiency and safety initiatives. The issues AMTA is tackling with rest stop closures and harmonized trucking rules are fairly well known, but there are other areas of concern such as infrastructure spending to ensure a healthy economy.”

“Also,” says Hamel, “wide based tires, LCV's, EOBR's and ensuring that operators get an allowance for LNG tractors on key highways and roads.”

“There are also several infrastructure issues that need to be pushed forward.

Bendix Offers Solutions And Insight During National Tire Safety Week Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, in support of the goals of the 2013 National Tire Safety Week, June 2-8, stresses the importance of proper tire inflation and monitoring in safe commercial vehicle operation. Bendix, the North American leader in the development and manufacture of leading-edge active safety and braking system technologies, offers the SmarTire Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) by Bendix CVS, which monitors pressure and temperature of tractor and trailer tires. SmarTire TPMS offers fleets and drivers insight on tires that leads to improved fuel economy, reduced downtime, and improved roadway safety.

Sponsored by the Rubber Manufacturers Association to raise consumer awareness about tire safety and fuel economy for cars and trucks, the annual National Tire Safety Week focuses on the simple steps that vehicle operators – from motorists to fleets – can take to ensure their tires are in good working condition.

Tires driven while significantly underinflated experience increased stress and higher temperatures, which increases the risk of failure.

Industry statistics show

that 90 percent of blowouts are caused by under inflation.

Tire performance is also factored into CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scoring, as drivers and fleets can face penalties for improperly inflated or poorly maintained tires.

“Because tire care, inflation, and maintenance are crucial to vehicle safety, Bendix has long focused on developing methods for warning fleets and drivers of tire-related problems before they pose a safety hazard,” said Jon Intagliata, Product Manager for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) at Bendix.

The SmarTire Tire Pressure Monitoring System for tractors and SmarTire Trailer-Link TPMS by Bendix CVS continuously monitor both tire pressure and temperature at each wheel location, offering real-time status information to the driver or maintenance technician. An in-vehicle dash display shows both the actual tire pressure and temperature, along with a deviation value that shows the amount of over inflation or under inflation from each tire’s cold inflation pressure (CIP).

“The deviation values for each tire are important because they automatically take into account the increase in pressure due to

nizes as being an important tool for advancing the industry. “The program is just getting kick started here in Alberta and employers need to support this excellent initiative by encouraging their top professional drivers to serve as industry representatives.”

“The AMTA Board has been very inclusive and very engaged so I hope to be able to rely on this great team to help advance the many initiatives that are important to our industry.”

Hamel obtained his undergraduate degree in Commerce and Business Administration from the University of British Columbia and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Calgary. b

Membership development and actively engaging existing members is also important to Hamel, who says he would like to see more professional drivers involved with AMTA. “AMTA is a great organization and I would like to see existing members take full advantage of all the services and benefits AMTA has to offer. “Training programs and regional meetings are a key benefit to industry members and could be more fully utilized.”

“Drivers are a vital part of our industry and I’d like to see professional drivers be more active in the association.”

The AMTA Road Knights program is another area Hamel recog-

temperature that naturally occurs as a tire is in operation. Since our sensors are located inside the pressure vessel, they provide a direct temperature measurement that allows our system to automatically adjust alerts to the driver, taking into account this natural increase in pressure. Cold tires at 100 PSI alert differently than warm tires at 120 PSI – the system needs to make this adjustment automatically,” Intagliata said.

“Tire pressure rises when the temperature increases through travel or external conditions. SmarTire’s capability to calculate the CIP deviation means drivers and fleets can accurately maintain their pressures whether a truck has been parked for some time or has traveled hundreds of miles. The temperature compensation feature also allows the system to provide earlier warnings of a tire problem.”

Page T-7

The SmarTire system is the industry’s only TPMS available as a factory-installed option through original equipment manufacturers. Volvo Trucks NA, International Trucks, and Kenworth all offer it as an OEM-installed option.

SmarTire Trailer-Link TPMS wirelessly transmits information from trailer wheel-ends directly to the in-cab display of tractors equipped with the latest version of SmarTire. If the tractor is not equipped with SmarTire, the trailer TPMS system can use a lamp mounted to the nose of the trailer to notify the driver of trailer tire pressure or temperature problems.

Proper tire pressure management also helps fleets address the increasing costs of fuel and tires.

Tire under inflation by as little as 10 percent results in a 1.5 percent drop in fuel economy, which can increase fuel spending by up to $1,000 per year for a single truck. Under inflation by 20 percent results in a 30 percent reduction in tire life.

The SmarTire system offers additional benefits when it is linked with Safe-

tyDirect from Bendix CVS, a Web portal that allows fleet owners to analyze real-time, wirelessly transmitted safety information.

As tire pressures, temperatures, and alerts are sent to the back office, fleet maintenance teams can plan vehicle service before it even reaches the shop.

Fleets and drivers can also conduct tire inspections and maintenance more efficiently since terminal operators can tell in advance which tires may need pressure adjustment.

The SmarTire systems from Bendix CVS are part of the company’s ever-growing portfolio of technology developments that delivers on safety, plus other areas critical to fleets’ success. By improving vehicle performance and efficiency, and providing unparalleled post-sales support, Bendix aims to improve highway safety for everyone, while helping fleets and drivers strengthen return on investment in equipment and technology. b

Resource Show Returns To Prince George With A Vengeance P

roducers of the Canada North Resources Expo are pleased to report that the 2013 edition was a resounding success.

Show Management reported that the Expo attracted 8,321 registered industry visitors over the course of the two day event and they were not left disappointed.

Visitors were in awe at the amount of exhibitors and equipment being showcased at the CN Centre and grounds that totaled 4 acres of outdoor and indoor exhibits, showcasing the leaders of the flourishing Northern industries.

Exhibitors reported brisk sales activities and many qualified leads to follow up on. Comments were made that this edition was the best in a decade and are already planning on rebooking for 2015.

“Best attendance in years, I have filled my notebook with leads, tasks, to-dos and I have booked 4 more presentations. I have customers that came by from communities out of town and they said they heard about the show with your well placed ads, I will be booking for 2015 for sure.” said Scott Chipman, Atlantic Industries Limited.

“We had a very successful Show and your Team was very professional and most helpful in every way.

We will be rebooking for 2015,” said Ron Trainor of Western Equipment Limited.

The Recruiting Here Feature was a hit as visitors came with resumes in hand looking for careers in the booming natural resource field. The Health & Wellness Zone presented by the BC Forest Safety Council was steady and seminars were well attended. The live equipment demonstrations were a huge attraction.

“The Resources Expo Society is very pleased with how Canada North Resources Expo went,” said Mary Anne Arcand,

Executive Director of the Central Interior Logging Association. “The feedback we have received is all very positive, and we are hearing about millions of dollars of sales being made during the show.

From our share of the proceeds, in keeping with our historical traditions, we will be making donations to the Hospice Society, the Railway and Forestry Museum, and Minor Soccer.

We were also able to support the Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and the Eagles football team by presenting them with opportunities for fundraising during the show,” said Arcand.

“We are particularly pleased with our partnership with Master Promotions. We heard so many comments from exhibitors about their organization, marketing and logistical skills. We want to grow the show, and it was just too hard to do off the side of our desks with volunteers anymore. So thank you to Master Promotions – and we are looking forward to 2015!” said Arcand.

“The big story about CNRE is that it blew everyone’s expectations out of the water. So many shows have been marginal lately, and then this one comes, and everything worked out perfectly. It was well organized and managed.

Promotion for the show was everywhere and it blanketed the market! It worked and people came.

The parking lot was full, and that explains it!” said Rob Stanhope of the Logging & Sawmilling Journal.

Master Promotions Ltd. would like to thank all members of the local Prince George steering committee including the Central Interior Logging Association for the guidance and assistance enabling us to return this event to the stature it once was.

Master Promotions Ltd. is looking forward to the 2015 edition and dates will be announced in the near future. b

Peterbilt Unveils New Interior For Model 320 Peterbilt Motors Company recently unveiled its all-new Model 320 interior during the Waste Expo show in New Orleans, LA. The new ProBilt interior for Peterbilt’s low-cab forward vehicle features ergonomic improvements, system enhancements and improved overall visibility for maximum operator efficiency and comfort.

“The Model 320’s new interior delivers unparalleled fit and finish and provides drivers a comfortable and productive operating environment for outstanding performance in this specialty market,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Director of Sales and Marketing. “Inside and out, Peterbilt’s Model 320 performs the most challenging jobs with uncompromising durability and quality.”

Ergonomic, Efficient Design The Model 320 interior

underwent a floor-to-ceiling re-design, beginning with the new ergonomic dash layout.

“The new instrumentation panel includes LED backlit gauges that are easy-to-read and are easily visible through the new steering wheel, along with the new Driver Information Display that provides critical vehicle data, as well as rocker switches that are within easy reach,” said Landon Sproull, Peterbilt Chief Engineer. “All of these new features help to ensure that the driver is operating at peak efficiency and productivity.”

An in-mold process embeds color directly into the dash for a durable, long-lasting finish, which virtually eliminates fading, scratching and peeling. Removable dash panels allow easy access to electrical and HVAC com-

specifically for a small lunch cooler, driver and passenger side cup holders as well as a USB charging port and 12VDC charging outlet.

“The interior is symmetrically designed to make sure the driver enjoys the same convenient comforts whether the cab is a left hand or right hand drive configuration,” said Sproull.

The cab features the extensive use of contemporary LED lighting, including two directional dome lights in the headliner, as well as two over-the-door lights and one large light on the back wall. LED lighting reduces eye fatigue and power consumption and also provides extended bulb life.

Safety and comfort were key considerations in the new pedal position package.

“Our engineers consulted with numerous customers during the design process to get their input regarding the pedal placement and space between the throttle and the brakes,” said Sproull. “This resulted in an optimized pedal layout that provides a more comfortable driving

position.”

Additional features include: • • Padded headliner for improved thermal and acoustic performance; • 4-speaker audio system; • Vertical-parked windshield wipers; • Header and over-door storage capacity; • Padded door panels with power controls for windows and mirrors; • Tilt/telescoping steering wheel; • Multi-function turnstalk; • Heated seats; • Available in left-hand and right-hand drive configurations.

The ProBilt interior is available in Titanium Gray.

Model 320 Features & Benefits The foundation of Peterbilt’s rugged Model 320 is the huck-bolted aluminum cab that features lap seam construction and bulkhead style doors on a zinc-coated, steel subframe for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. In applications where stopping distance is critical, the 320 comes standard with air disc brakes, which improve brake life and reduce ser-

New Campaign Reminds Drivers To “Leave The Phone Alone” Prince Edward Islanders are being asked to pledge to leave their phones alone while driving, says Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Minister Robert Vessey.

“It only takes a split second looking away from the road for a collision to occur,” said the minister.

“Using a cell phone while driving is against the law.

Encouraging drivers to take a 60-day pledge will help them develop life-long habits that will extend well beyond the campaign.”

The campaign is being jointly presented by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal and the Hot 105.5 FM. Islanders can sign up to commit to

The nitrided layer covers the entire cylinder surface, is exceptionally hard and possesses outstanding slip properties. The nitrided layer is a homogeneous part of the cylinder material and therefore cannot become porous or peel away.

Treatment of the Mailhot cylinder is an environmentally friendly process.

vice time. An industryleading, 65-degree cab tilt provides technicians easy access to key service points for improved serviceability and reduced downtime. Use of LED marker lights, instead of incandescents, extends service intervals.

A 90-degree door opening with multiple grab handles and an impact-resistant, bolt-on step provides easy entry and exit. The exclusive use of taper leaf front springs provides an increasingly smooth ride.

An impressive 44-degree wheel cut allows drivers to easily maneuver in congested urban environments.

The Model 320 offers a full range of axle selections in single, tandem or tri-drive configurations, plus a full complement of liftable axle options and a tandem steer front axle configuration rated at 36,000 lbs.

In addition, the Model 320 is available in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with the Cummins Westport ISL G and ISX 12 G Engines. Both configurations provide flexibility to locate the fuel tanks either off the frame rail or integrated with the body. b leaving their phone alone while driving at www. hot1055fm.com.

Bendix Supports Efforts Of CVSA Roadcheck To Improve Highway Safety As the North American leader in the development and manufacturer of leading-edge active safety and braking system technologies, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC supports the annual Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Roadcheck program, which this year took place June 4-6.

Sharing the CVSA’s commitment to safer vehicles and roadways, Bendix stresses that highway safety begins well before any vehicle hits the road through proper maintenance, regular inspection, the use of genuine replacement parts, and technician training.

Roadcheck – the largest targeted commercial vehicle roadside inspection program in the world – was founded in 1988 with the goal to improve safety on North America’s roadways.

According to CVSA, during the Roadcheck 72-hour inspection period in 2012, approximately 9,500 CVSA-certified inspectors at 2,500 locations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico per-

formed an average of more than 1,000 inspections per hour. One in five vehicles inspected was found with a violation serious enough to be considered an imminent safety hazard, CVSA said.

Since Roadcheck’s inception, more than 1.2 million vehicles have been inspected, and CVSA estimates that more than 220 lives have been saved and 4,000 injuries prevented.

“Roadcheck encourages fleets and owner-operators to take proactive measures while off the highways, and by doing so, make significant contributions to vehicle safety on the highways,” said Fred Andersky, Bendix Director of Government and Industry Affairs, and Director of Marketing – Charging.

For truck and bus fleets, as well as owner-operators, Bendix outlines two levels of maintenance that are key to safety for commercial vehicles: the thorough review afforded by regularly scheduled preventive maintenance; and pre-trip visual inspections by drivers, who should check for

Prime Example At The Healthy Trucking Association Of America 5th Summit Prime, Inc. recently received the Trailblazer Award for the Driver Health and Fitness Program at the 5th Annual Healthy Trucking Summit sponsored by the Healthy Trucking Association of America (HTAA) in Atlanta, GA. During the event, held April 30-May 2, Prime Driver Melissa Fort was named the Female Healthy Trucker of the Year. The creator

of the health and fitness program, former Prime Lease Operator Siphiwe Baleka, also received the Legacy Award.

Presenting the Trailblazer Award, Dr. Karen Heaton of the UAB Medical Centre, recognized Prime for their “comprehensive approach to the management of metabolic syndrome.”

Accepting the award on behalf of Prime was

obvious problems such as loose hoses and leaks.

“The CVSA has noted that brakes have been cited as an associated factor in more than 29 percent of commercial motor vehicle crashes, so the importance of paying careful attention to brakes during these inspections cannot be overstated,” said Gary Ganaway, Director of Marketing and Global Customer Solutions for Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake (BSFB).

BSFB is a joint venture of Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Dana CommercialVehicle Products, LLC. During foundation drum brake service, fleets should check for lining wear and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding adjustment of slack adjusters. Adjustments will differ depending on the manufacturer. Air disc brakes require less maintenance, as most are sealed for life. The primary inspection concern for air disc brakes is pad wear.

“Helping to keep commercial vehicles on the Driver Health and Fitness Coach, Siphiwe Baleka.

“Prime is a great place to work,” said Baleka. “They have every possible driver amenity you can think of. More than 130 drivers have enrolled in the program and since its inception, more than 600 drivers have lost over 6,000 lbs. and 90 drivers have quit smoking.”

For the first time, the HTAA named both a male and female “Healthy Trucker of the Year.” The honour of the first female award went to Fort, who lost 10.1% of her bodyweight in Prime’s 13 week program. She is now coaching other drivers through the program while continuing to lose weight.

“Melissa really deserves this award. She truly is a great example of what I call a ‘Fitness Trucker.’ It’s a lifestyle change and she made it while driving teams,” Baleka said. b

road and in good working order is a round-theclock effort at Bendix, through at-the-ready post-sales support options, our dedication to providing technicians and companies with the most current and in-depth training and information available, and ensuring that genuine Bendix replacement parts meet OE requirements,” Andersky said. “Our industry’s safety efforts rely heavily on the know-how and experience of certified technicians.”

The Bendix On-Line Brake School at www. brake-school.com offers anytime access to Bendix’s knowledge database and technical resources, including a dynamic menu of video segments and other training tools. Tech-

Page T-15 nicians can also reach Bendix’s ASE-certified Service, Warranty, and Training (SWAT) team experts through 1-800-AIR-BRAKE. In addition, Bendix strongly recommends that fleets and technicians maintain vehicles using original replacement parts for best performance and compliance results.

“Brakes, like other commercial vehicle components, always function at their best when replacement parts are held to the specific standards engineered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),” Ganaway said.

“Performance issues and other problems often occur when non-OEM parts are introduced into a system.”

Particularly in the case

of relining today’s higher performing drum brakes – designed to meet federal reduced stopping distance requirements – incorrect or inferior replacement friction material is likely to reduce performance, wear out faster, and create a safety hazard. Replacing with high performance friction is essential.

The ever-growing portfolio of Bendix technology developments delivers on safety, plus other areas critical to fleets’ success. By improving vehicle performance and efficiency while providing unparalleled technical support, Bendix strengthens its customers’ return on investment in the advanced equipment and technology that leads to safer roadways for everyone. b
