Cargo thieves are becoming more “strategic” about how they target cargo loads and transportation companies, according to insurance experts.

A range of new cargo theft tactics are being deployed to help thieves take better “control” and thus mitigate the risks of the crimes they are trying to commit, Sam Rizzitelli, National Director for Transportation at Travelers Inland Marine division, told Fleet Owner magazine.

Scott Cornell, National Program Manager for the Specialty Investigations Group or “SIG” with Travelers Investigative Services, explained that these new “tactics” fall into three categories: identity theft, ficti-

tious pickups and misdirected loads/fraudulent carriers.

“They are trying to adjust their methods to develop better ways to get away with cargo,” Cornell noted. Rather than commit “straight theft,” where loads are physically stolen from parking lots or terminals – and risking getting spotted and/or potentially be involved in a high speed chase – he said cargo thieves are trying to be more “strategic” about thefts so they can better pinpoint and steal specific types of cargo.

These strategic kinds of thefts are a result of more technology with greater access to information within the transportation industry and the involvement

Family Of Flatbed Carriers Ranks Daseke In Top 20 Daseke Inc., a family of premier flatbed and specialized carriers, continues to grow with the addition of Redmond, Ore.-based Central Oregon Truck Company.

The transaction, which took place Aug. 1, comes on the heels of Gaffney, S.C.-based J. Grady Randolph Inc. joining Daseke (in May), making the holding company one of the 20 largest flatbed and specialty carriers in North America. Other Daseke companies include Smokey Point Distributing and E.W. Wylie.

“Central Oregon Truck Company is truly a premier flatbed carrier and first-class in equipment and customer service,” said Don Daseke, President and CEO of Daseke Inc. “We were very impressed with the management team and the way they go about business. They truly understand customer needs and the importance of having quality equipment and drivers who are dedicated to safely delivering flatbed loads.”

According to Rick Williams, one of the found-

ers and CEO of Central Oregon Truck Company, the decision to join Daseke brings added momentum to a company already on the move.

“We’ve been in business since 1992 and have had great success – we’re creative, very organized and want to grow,” Williams said. “We’ll continue with our culture and principles and with the very same management team and drivers we have in place. By joining Daseke, we have added substantial financial backing for growth and now have a peer group of other Daseke companies to help realize best practices and develop business strategies. Being a Daseke company allows us to continue to fulfill our vision and achieve our goals quicker and easier, while enhancing our service to our driver teams and our shipper partners.”

Originally formed by a group of friends who were former drivers, including Williams, Central Oregon Truck Company has been a mainstay flatbed carrier throughout the 11 western states, and has grown to handle

of more ‘intermediaries’ throughout the supply chain, Rizzitelli added.

Data tracked by FreightWatch International indicates that the actual volume of loads stolen in the U.S. during the second quarter this year declined, while the overall value of those loads increased, states the article.

To successfully combat such scams, Rizzitelli stressed that crafting the “right relationships” between carriers, shippers, and third party logistics providers is more critical than ever. “By that I mean, are carriers and shippers developing shared protocols around pickup procedures?” he explained. “Are there verifications in place to confirm the identity of specific drivers? Do shippers have procedures to verify the carriers that will be hauling highly targeted high value goods are who they say they are?” b loads with customers throughout the lower 48 states and in Canada.

“As former drivers, we know the importance of the person behind the wheel – safe drivers are the key to our organization and our customer service,” said Williams.

“We run Kenworth trucks that average less than 2.2 years in age, versus the industry average of 6-plus years. The trucks are all equipped with the latest in safety options, including lane departure warning systems, and anti-rollover systems. Safety is priority one, and our safety ratings and CSA scores prove that.”

Demonstrating its commitment to its drivers is the company’s new 28,000-squarefoot showcase facility, which features sleeping rooms, an exercise facility, café, computer lab and laundry mat. “We also have our management team here with open doors,” said Williams. “We know our drivers on a personal level and that culture will never change.”

“They truly offer the entire package,” said Daseke.

“We’re looking forward to offering the tools in capital, and peer group roundtables, which will help them grow even further. It’s an exciting relationship for both parties.” b

Making Your Miles Count — with Robert D. Scheper

TRUCK POST ADVERTISERS INDEX

Nearly 100% Turnover: Both A Problem And A Solution F

or those who have been watching the industry turnover trends, I assume you are as baffled as I am that the industry can actually SURVIVE with annual turnover numbers such as 70, 80, or 95+%. That means the average trucking company hires almost one new driver for every driver employed.

Obviously not every driver switches every year.

A certain percentage of drivers will stay for one or many years. Numerically, this means many of the “new hires” don’t stay the entire year. If 50% of all the drivers are there the whole year that means the other 50% would have to stay no longer than 6 months. If 80% of the drivers stay the whole year that means 20% of the drivers can’t stay longer than 2.4 months. The alternatives are infinite but the conclusion is the same. 100% turnover means paperwork, paperwork, paperwork… expenses, expenses, expenses.

Then the question is: how did they leave? Did they leave on good terms with a two week notice, truck parked nicely against the fence, undamaged, load delivered, and paperwork completed? The higher the turnover rate, the less chances professional courtesy was extended.

These numbers cost trucking companies money!

The costs are born by the company and the drop in potential profits mean less potential benefits for those who stay. Turnover is everyone’s business.

But turnover is all a part of supply and demand, an integral part of the free market system. Without turnover the industry would treat drivers like they did in 2009. Those companies who pillaged drivers in the great recession and who openly endorsed their behavior with “these are industry standards” now reap what they previously sowed. Even those who were fair to drivers in 2009 may not be immune from turnover today.

The free market is much

like hauling hanging meat or a half filled, un-baffled tanker, the push/pull from sloshing can affect even the most seasoned veteran.

It’s not just gentleness of clutch and brake but perceived fairness that reduces sloshing.

The Pareto Principle (aka 80/20 rule) states that for many events roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

Joseph Juran named it after Vilfredo Pareto, after Pareto found that 80% of the peas from his garden came from 20% of the pods. This infers that 80% of all the driver turnover problems come from 20% of the drivers, or 20% of all the companies, depending on how you focus your research.

Logically it infers that to reduce turnover would mean that correction/attention must be made to at least 20% of the companies (or drivers).

I have always made an assumption (right or wrong) that if the bottom 20% of the companies would employ only the bottom 20% of the drivers they would universally, and nearly immediately, go bankrupt. If the bottom 20% of companies would have to settle with only hauling the bottom 20% of the available freight they also would universally, and nearly immediately go bankrupt.

Think how differently the trucking industry would look if the bottom 20% went bankrupt.

Turnover is the free market’s answer to accomplish this end, but there are two major flaws. First, neither drivers nor companies are willing to admit they belong to the bottom 20%.

Second, each move needs to be based on an educated decision. Good drivers leave bad companies and bad drivers are released from good companies so they can only work for bad companies.

However, the “bad drivers” are constantly trying to drive for better companies than they deserve and “bad companies” are

constantly trying to attract good drivers. Who knows who’s telling the truth (or at least their version of it)?

But even if the world was suddenly transparent and we knew exactly what we were moving to, would that solve the problem perfectly? Not entirely because each driver may have their own standards as to what they will put up with. There needs to be a universal standard as to what is acceptable and what is not. There must be agreement among drivers and companies as to what is professional and what is irresponsible or abusive.

For those who have read my articles in the past, you know I have been focusing on “choosing a trucking company” for over a year now. My articles, in one way or another, pinpoint an industry standard, such as never

driving for a company that pays shortest route. Many good companies and sometimes even bad ones, have defined a clear standard for their new hires. It is now time for drivers to develop a universal standard of their own, a standard that clearly excludes the bottom 20% of the pea pods.

The more educated each move is, the better the entire industry will be. b

Passion For The Job E

ver wonder why some folks have more passion for the job than you can seem to muster up on a daily basis? They’re hauling vans up and down the same highway as you but they seem to enjoy it a whole lot more.

To you, it’s a job. You do it to pay the mortgage, put food on the table and hopefully stick a little in the bank for your retirement. You might rather be playing hockey for a living or have fulfilled your dream of becoming a doctor, but for whatever rea-

son, you aren’t there, and it is what it is at this point in your life.

But just because you might not be doing what you always dreamed of doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it and make the most of your career. Most of us aren’t in a position to go back to school and get the career we dreamt of as a child. After all, there are families to support and mortgages to pay. So if you are one of those folks who doesn’t like your job, all you may need is a little attitude adjustment.

There are plenty of reasons you might not like your job behind the wheel of the truck, but a few changes to the way you perceive your job and participate within your company or the industry can leave you smiling and enjoying manoeuvering that big rig around the city.

Don’t like the fact that you have no say in what goes on around you? Then do something about it. Start going to the general meetings of your province’s trucking association. Put your ideas out there and be heard. Join one of the committees. You will then have a say in the trucking industry and may even be able to change it for the better.

You can do the same thing in your company.

Many firms have committees or groups who are dedicated to causes such as safety and continuing education, or drivers who participate in rallies and charity events. Join in and get involved. All those ideas you come up with while rolling down the highway for hours on end can finally be put to good use.

Long hours and tight deadlines are a large cause of job dissatisfaction. It doesn’t matter whether you are in a truck or in an office. Provided you are already doing everything you can within the limits of the law, learn to take the pressure off yourself.

Whether or not dispatch thinks it can be done, you are the one stuck in the traffic jams, snow storms and waiting for the new forklift operator to finally figure out how to stack everything on your deck properly.

Keep your dispatch informed of what is going on so that you are both on the same page. Otherwise they may be left wondering why it is taking you so long to deliver that load, or they may assume you stopped for a leisurely dinner rather than getting the job done.

If you have kept everyone informed, you are going to feel more in control

and less guilty when you can’t deliver on time. That means less stress, and less stress means more job satisfaction.

If you are away from home a lot, you can still control your work life balance to some extent. Take your regular breaks. You earned them. A short, brisk walk in the fresh air can refresh the mind.

Instead of eating at the truck stop day in and day out, every few days grab a cab or go for a walk to a nicer restaurant and enjoy a good meal. If you have a family back at home, make

September 2013 sure you connect with them every day. There’s so much free WIFI available and so many ways to video chat that there really isn’t any excuse not to.

Combine something you are passionate about with your work if at all possible. For instance if you are a horse lover, maybe try working for one of the equestrian transport companies. They’re always looking for people who know how to handle the animals safely and properly.

If you love a challenge and have a knack for all things motorized, get on with an equipment hauler and start pulling the big wide loads. It will provide you with a challenge and spice up your day a whole lot more than a 53’ van will.

Keep learning. Take a driver improvement course. If you aren’t certified in dangerous goods,

Spicer Pro-40 Light-Weight Tandem Axle Selected By TMC Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) recently announced that TMC Transportation, the largest privately held flatbed carrier in the United States, has specified Spicer Pro-40 tandem axles on the company’s order of 1,500 Peterbilt 579 onhighway trucks.

Following a standard replacement schedule, TMC Transportation will purchase 1,500 new tractors over the next two years. The Spicer Pro40 family of heavy-duty 40,000-pound tandem drive axles supplies a reliable, lightweight option for line haul, bulk, regional, and city delivery fleets.

It offers a dramatic weight reduction and improved power density, enabling customers to increase payload, improve fuel economy, and ultimately improve their bottom line.

The axle is nearly 100 pounds lighter than the nearest competitive axle, with a new high-strengthsteel thin-wall housing on select applications.

“We need to be able to haul as much as possible in order to stay competitive in today’s marketplace, and the Spicer Pro-40 axle brings

major weight savings to our trucks, which matters most to us,” said Rod Simon, Executive Vice President of Maintenance at TMC Transportation. “As a highly data-driven company, we’re not just looking at performance; we evaluate cost-to-weight ratios and resale values of our equipment.”

TMC Transportation has a successful, longstanding history with Dana products, having continually purchased PACCAR trucks with Spicer drive axles, steer axles, driveshafts, and steering shafts, as well as Bendix foundation brakes as standard equipment on PACCAR’s Peterbilt and Kenworth class 6, 7 and 8 commercial vehicles. Bendix foundation brakes are provided by Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake, a joint venture between Dana and Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC. “We have a great track record with Spicer drive axles and front-end systems from Dana,” Simon said. “From a durability standpoint, they’ve held up extremely well since they’re built with longevity in mind.”

The company has also

get that certificate. If you are only licensed to operate an automatic transmission, learn how to drive the 18 speed.

Learning new skills keeps life from getting dull and it shows your employer that you are ambitious.

If you decide to change employers in the future you will be ahead of the game with all of the extra qualifications on your resume.

If you don’t love what you do for a living, chances are you will never be exceptional at it. Change your point of view, learn to love it, and you will excel at it. The pride you have for the job will be evident to everyone around you and you will be happier and more satisfied in the long run.

Don’t forget to realize what a difference you make in the world. You are significant and so is what you haul. Society needs it.

They need you. b specified SPL 250 driveshafts and SPL 170 interaxle shafts and LMS hubs on their trucks for the past ten years, which have significantly reduced maintenance. TMC Transportation is also road-testing Dana’s new all-aluminum Spicer Diamond Series driveshaft.

“With a driveshaft, you don’t want to think about it all the time, you just want to maintain and inspect it at regular service intervals,” Simon said. “Since we switched to Spicer Life Series driveshafts, we’re able to spend less time on repairs and more time on the road.”

“We designed the Spicer Pro-40 axle for astute fleet owners who fully appreciate how the weight savings we provide will reduce their fuel costs without sacrificing performance and reliability,” said Pat D’Eramo, President of Dana Commercial Vehicle Driveline Technologies. “TMC Transportation is one of the top carriers in North America, and their commitment to the Spicer Pro-40 axle provides strong validation for our approach.”

Sustainable Materials Make Truck Environmentally Friendly And Tough Ford is proving that pickups can be green and tough by adding rice hulls to the list of sustainable materials used to build F-150 – America’s best-selling truck.

Ford is using plastic reinforced with rice hulls – a byproduct of rice grain – in an electrical harness in the 2014 F-150. The company will need at least 45,000 pounds of hulls in the first year.

“The 2014 F-Series exemplifies our continued efforts to use recycled content in our vehicles,” said John Viera, Ford Global Director of Sustainability and Vehicle Environmental Matters. “We can have greater impact in this case because of the size and sales volume of this product.”

The rice hulls are sourced from farms in Arkansas and will replace a talc-based reinforcement in a polypropylene composite

made by RheTech, a Whitmore Lake, Mich.-based automotive supplier.

“We developed this resin specifically for Ford over the last three years, working with the automaker closely, including in all phases of material qualification,” said David Preston, Director of Business Development for RheTech.

“The whole process has been a rewarding success for both Ford and RheTech, which can add yet another natural-fiber based product to our RheVision line.”

Rice hull-reinforced plastic is the most recent example of Ford researchers and engineers using sustainable material whenever possible in the F-Series – without compromising toughness and durability. F-Series trucks already feature: • Recycled cotton: Used as carpet insulation and a sound absorber; every 2014 F-150 contains

enough recycled cotton to make the equivalent of 10 pairs of jeans; • Soybeans: Used to make seat cushions, seat backs and head restraints; • Recycled carpet: Some F-150 trucks have cylinder head covers made with EcoLon, a nylon resin produced from 100 percent post-consumer recycled carpet; • Recycled tires: A thermoplastic material made from recycled tires and post-consumer recycled polypropylene is used to make shields and some underbody covers on F-150; • Recycled plastic soda pop and water bottles: A lightweight fiber derived from recycled plastic soda pop and water bottles is used to construct F-150 wheel liners and shields. The parts are significantly lighter than traditional injection molded parts and lead to

a quieter ride. Select FSeries trucks feature fabric made from recycled fiber; • Recycled post-industal plastics: Used in interior finish panels, including around radio and climate controls.

Researchers in Dearborn are constantly searching for the next sustainable material that can feasibly be used in Ford vehicles.

Finding a source of material is only the beginning of the process, however, because before making it

to production, components made from recycled content must perform as well or better than comparable virgin-grade material.

Materials development engineers at Ford Materials Engineering, Testing and Standards in Dearborn, in conjunction with RheTech, conducted testing of the rice hull material for more than a year, examining everything from smell and appearance to functionality and flammability. The rice hull-based material successfully passed all tests.

With F-Series as America’s best-selling truck for 36 years – averaging more than 650,000 sales per year – the environmental impact of being as sustainable as possible adds up fast. Ford estimates about 10 million pounds of recycled cotton are used in F-Series trucks annually.

“Fuel economy is a top priority when it comes to Ford’s environmental impact,” says Carrie Majeske, Ford Product Sustainability Manager.

Freightliner Cascadia Sleeper Now Available With Natural Gas Technology Freightliner Trucks recently announced that its Freightliner Cascadia natural gas-powered tractors will be available with a 48-inch sleeper cab. The natural gas-powered Cascadia will also be available with factory-installed Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tanks.

Equipped with the new Cummins Westport ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine (with ratings up to 400hp and 1,450 lb-ft torque), the Cascadia natural gas tractor will feature a variety of fuel tank configurations, up to 190 Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE) capacity for CNG, and up to 300 gallon (140 DGE) capacity LNG, with an anticipated fill-range of more than 800 miles.

Having factory-installed fuel tanks gives custom-

truckpost.ca

ers the advantage of having a fully turn-key factory-built natural gas truck solution, with the Freightliner Trucks factory warranty.

With expanded natural gas fuel tank capacities, and the availability of a 48-inch sleeper cab, Freightliner Trucks now offers a solution for fleet customers to haul freight greater distances than ever before and gives drivers a comfortable sleeper to rest in when driving those extended distances and longer hours.

In 2012, Freightliner Trucks embarked on a heavy-duty CNG cross country tour, taking a Cascadia day cab from Long Beach, Calif., to Washington, DC. The tour demonstrated the ability to drive significant distances in a heavy-duty, CNG-powered truck.

“We have proven that natural gas can be a smart alternative to diesel for over-the-road applications, and our new Cascadia sleeper natural gas offer-

ing will give our customers a new opportunity to experience the savings and sustainability provided by alternative fuel solutions,” said Robert Carrick, Sales Manager – Natural Gas for Freightliner Trucks. “The addition of the sleeper further solidifies our place as the leader in providing the industry’s most comprehensive range of factorybuilt natural gas-powered vehicles.”

The sleek and stylish Cascadia natural gas tractor has a spacious and comfortable cab with ergonomic features that accommodate drivers of every size. And, starting spring 2013, the Cascadia CNG day cab offers the latest aerodynamic features - designed to enhance overall efficiency similar to those found on the revolutionary Cascadia Evolution.

Pre-series production on the Cascadia CNG sleeper will start Q4 2013, with full production launching in Q1 2014. Factory-installed tanks will be available on the Cascadia 113-inch BBC CNG tractor in Q1 2014.

NORPASS members can sign up at www.drivewyze. com/norpass/ to take advantage of the special offer, which expires on Dec. 31, 2014. The special offer will allow NORPASS users to access Drivewyze services on a variety of supported mobile tablets and smartphones. It is available to any NORPASS member or user for new Drivewyze PreClear subscriptions.

Drivewyze PreClear currently serves 16 states and 225 inspection sites across the United States, with more added each month.

Drivewyze PreClear complements the NORPASS service, which is available in seven states, along with British Columbia and Quebec. The Drivewyze PreClear and NORPASS combination extends the number of potential inspection site bypasses a trucker may receive on any given trip.

Drivewyze CEO Brian Heath said he’s delighted to partner with NORPASS. “The NORPASS membership already knows the enormous ROI benefits of bypass,” Heath said. “It is estimated fleets save around $9 with every bypass opportunity. This partnership allows NORPASS members to enjoy bypass in even more states as well as a special, introductory discount.”

Drivewyze PreClear adds transponder-like functionality to mobile tablets and smartphones.

Drivewyze provides truck operators and local and long-haul carriers with bypass opportunities at both fixed stations and roadside mobile inspection sites. Drivewyze PreClear offers simple visual and audible instructions for drivers to either bypass weigh stations and inspection sites, or to safely pull-in. It is both safe and easy to use, with assured privacy and data protection, meeting both federal and state distracted driving laws.

NORPASS President Myron Rau is excited to introduce the breakthrough Drivewyze PreClear bypass service to the NORPASS membership base.

“Mobile-based bypass is enormously convenient—whether drivers are using in-cab tablets or smartphones,” Rau said.

“Drivewyze PreClear will extend the number of bypass opportunities NORPASS members may enjoy.

This helps our members save even more money on fuel and other expenses related to pull-ins--not to mention saving drivers’ time.”

Drivewyze PreClear currently serves Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. More states will be added in the coming months.

NORPASS serves members in Alaska, Connecticut, Idaho, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, British Columbia and Quebec. b

Grupo’s One-Of-A-Kind Fumigation Vehicle As the largest global provider of commercial duty, fully-automatic transmissions, Allison Transmission has recently entered the agricultural market in Argentina. To achieve this goal, Allison has partnered with Grupo PLA, a leading manufacturer of agribusiness machinery and components, to build a fumigation vehicle fitted with a fully-automatic transmission. The MAP II 3250, a self-propelled pulverizer, is highly anticipated as the first of its kind locally. Fitted with an Allison 2500 transmission, the prototype was successfully launched and demonstrated at Expoagro, an annual event in Buenos Aires that showcases the latest developments in agricultural machinery.

The vehicles are being built to handle a wide range of terrain under extreme conditions including hard and scorched soils, wet hills and muddy fields.

They must also cope with diverse temperatures ranging from below zero to more than 40 degrees Centigrade.

Hernan Pietrani, from Grupo PLA’s Product Development explained, “One of the key advantages of using an automatic transmission in this type of vehicle is that it ensures constant control over the drive wheels.

The driver can now focus solely on vehicle acceleration without worrying about changing gears.

The automatic provides us with the ability to keep

Comprehensive Fatigue Mitigation Program Rolls Out

the engine speed constant and avoid slowing down to maneuver the vehicle.

Maintaining smooth and constant movement keeps noise levels to a minimum and avoids overheating the engine.”

Pietrani went on to conclude, “When accelerating from a standstill, the engine reaches maximum capacity much quicker than a manual transmission vehicle. With an automatic the engine is not being overworked, and the pulverizing pump is constantly in operation at maximum capacity, ensuring that crops are fertilized with the right amount of product and pressure.”

Mario Burguener, a post-sales mechanic at Grupo PLA accompanying the drivers testing the new fumigation vehicle said, “The vehicle works very well indeed; it drives perfectly and has great performance, while never overworking the engine.” b

After years of research and field testing across North America, a new way to deal with driver fatigue has been launched.

The North American Fatigue Management Program provides comprehensive web-based information and education on: • developing plans to reduce driver fatigue • health and wellness • dealing with sleep disorders as well as their screening and treatment • trip scheduling information and more.

“This important program has the potential to save lives, and significantly enhance the quality of life of men and women behind the wheel and their fami-

lies,” says Don Wilson, Executive Director, AMTA. “AMTA has been a strong proponent of the program’s development including having served on the steering committee and members of AMTA’s regulatory affairs partnership (RAP) were involved extensively in the research and pilot phase.”

“Use of the website and all materials are free of charge and are ready to be incorporated right away by bus and truck fleet owners, safety managers and professional drivers,” added Wilson.

According to materials released during the official launch, “the program was achieved by a group of dedicated agencies and

individuals in Canada and the U.S., held together only by the vision of eventually being able to provide the bus and truck industry, and professional drivers, with the best guidance in fatigue mitigation.”

The program focuses on health and wellness, awareness, supportive medical and technological developments and will provide several delivery options and learning management tools.

In addition to the learning modules, the website includes an Implementation Manual to guide carriers in deploying NAFMP in whole or in part, a Returnon-Investment Calculator to assist in determining the cost/benefit of introducing NAFMP in a carrier operation, the research reports that form the basis of the program, as well as some general introduction and history of the program and its potential. b

injection – in a gasoline engine. The engine delivers fuel economy gains of up to 20 percent, while reducing CO2 emissions by up to 15 percent.

Further, the 2014 F-150 equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine will be available this fall with a factory-installed package that allows the engine to operate on either natural gas or gasoline through separate fuel systems.

The complete F-Series

Super Duty pickup truck and chassis cab lineup is available with gasoline, diesel, B20, and dedicated compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas capability, or CNG/LPG bi-fuel capability, while Ford F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks can be outfitted for gasoline, biodiesel or CNG/ LPG operation. In addition to biodiesel and CNG/LPG offerings, the 6.2-liter V8 can operate on E85, an ethanol-gasoline mix. b

“But we also recognize the tremendous impact that can be made by using sustainable materials inside our cars, utilities and trucks.”

The eco-friendly aspects of F-Series extend to the powertrain. The available 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine combines technologies typically associated with heavy-duty truck diesel engines – turbocharging and direct fuel

Saddle Creek Teams With Freightliner Trucks To Develop CNG Tractor With Advanced Aerodynamics Freightliner Trucks and Saddle Creek Logistics Services have together developed a new Freightliner Cascadia 113-inch BBC day cab with natural gas technology featuring advanced aerodynamics.

Saddle Creek has ordered the first 10 of the vehicles, outfitted with a 120 gallon fuel system. When complete, this will mark the first time a natural gas system will be fully enclosed behind the side and back of cab aerodynamic fairings.

The Lakeland, Fla.based third-party logistics company already has more than 100 Freightliner CNG tractors in its fleet of 430 vehicles, making it the largest CNG over the road tractor fleet in operation in the country. The additional 10 tractors will be used for truckload operations in the southeastern United States.

The company expects to order 90 additional natural gas trucks once testing is completed later this year.

Powered by the Cum-

mins Westport ISX 12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine with ratings up to 400hp and 1,450 lbft torque, Saddle Creek’s Cascadia CNG tractors will include a fully enclosed back cabinet behind the vehicle’s aerodynamics package. The placement of the tanks will further enhance the sleek exterior, which helps reduce drag and maximize payload.

“Our new tractors are the first of their kind with this aerodynamic fuel efficient design. We worked closely with Freightliner engineers and Agility Fuel Systems to design this system,” said Mike DelBovo, President of Saddle Creek Transportation. “We have been able to provide our customers with remarkable benefits with each generation of our existing Freightliner CNG tractors, and we look forward to bringing them even better results with this latest tractor.”

According to DelBovo, his Freightliner M2

112 CNG tractors have achieved more than 600 miles per fill. He expects his new Cascadia CNG tractors to achieve at least 700 miles per fill.

Saddle Creek is committed to environmentallyfriendly solutions such as CNG to minimize its carbon footprint, and support the sustainability efforts of its customers. Because the natural gas infrastructure is limited, Saddle Creek has built its own fueling station at its Lakeland headquarters.

“Partnering with a company like Saddle Creek allows us to continue to push the envelope when it comes to offering innovative sustainable solutions,” said Robert Carrick, Sales Manager – Natural Gas, for Freightliner Trucks. “Together with Saddle Creek and Agility Fuel Systems, we have developed the next generation in clean technology with improved aerodynamics that will move the industry in a new

direction.”

The Freightliner Cascadia 113 natural gas day cab offers the same performance and versatile benefits of the popular Cascadia tractor, with the incorporation of cheaper, cleaner burning natural gas fuel.

Full start of production on all Cascadia 113 natural gas-powered day cabs began in August 2013.

Freightliner Trucks’ commitment to green technologies is part of parent company Daimler AG’s global Shaping Future Transportation initiative. Launched in 2007, the initiative focuses on reducing criteria pollutants, carbon dioxide and fuel consumption.

In February 2012, the EPA certified Daimler Truck North America’s

Yanmar To Be Certified By FOEN Yanmar has become the first manufacturer in the world to be certified for engines in the 19~37kW class under the Ordinance on Air Pollution Control (OAPC), the world’s strictest regulations on diesel engines. In addition, the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) has added a complete list of Yanmar’s certified engines to its website, together with the recognition of Yanmar’s outstanding technologies in pursuit of this certification, which is notoriously difficult to achieve in the 19~37kw

range.

In recent years, increasing environmental awareness has resulted in tighter worldwide regulations on emissions from internal combustion engines. With controls on non-road diesel engines under 56kW in effect as of 2013 in Japan, Europe and North America, Yanmar has acquired certification for its engines and continues green production at our Biwa Plant in Japan.

Overweight Log Trucks

CTA & Cargonet Announce Event To Deal With Cargo Crime

Fontaine Adds Versatility To Magnitude 60 Class Trailers

Overweight logging trucks are getting turned back at the Red Rock Scales, and drivers are being told to get rid of some of their load.

Trucks have been randomly showing up at Carrier Lumber, hoping to get the loader to take some of their logs off, but Carrier officials are saying no, due to timber mark and liability issues.

A CVSE spokesperson says that many of the overweight loads going over the scales are over 65,000kgs, far beyond the 63,500kgs that’s allowed. As well, some carriers are regularly pushing 70,000kgs. CVSE, by law, needs to address the weight issue, not only for safety reasons, but also because of damage to infrastructure.

They are still working on a province-wide overweight

The Canadian Trucking Alliance in partnership with Verisk Crime Analytics Canada - CargoNet, police agencies and the Ontario Trucking Association is pleased to announce the official launch of Project Momentum -- an initiative to raise awareness of the growing threat of cargo crime in the high risk corridor along Highway 401 from the OntarioQuebec border to Windsor.

Project Momentum will be rolled out in two phases. The first phase includes a public awareness and multi-media campaign and a series of three workshops on cargo crime mitigation strategies attended by carriers, law enforcement, shippers, the insurance sector, and officials from all three levels of government.

Jeff Bryan, President of Jeff Bryan Transport and OTA Chairman, will host the first workshop on September 5th in Burford,

Fontaine Heavy-Haul, the recognized technology leader and innovator in the lowbed trailer industry, is expanding their Magnitude 60 Class product line to include a 2-axle bogie and the all-new EQ2 hydraulic equalizing spreader. Magnitude 60 Class advanced technology lowbed trailers are the lightest in their class handling 60 tons in just 12 feet. These new options deliver even greater hauling flexibility to Fontaine customers. The modular design means operators have the option to run in 2+2, 3+1 or 4-axles close coupled.

Loaded with new standard features, the EQ2 spreader is designed to be the most versatile, operator-friendly, feature-rich tandem hydraulic spreader in the industry. With the exclusive patent pending “C-link” mounting system, the EQ2 can easily convert from a 14’ 7” to 16’ 1” axle spread in a matter of minutes. Fontaine boasts the most versatile hydraulic

program, but in the meantime need to address the current situation. Log haulers need to get into compliance, while we work on the best way to deal with overweight loads.

And the licensees receiving the wood also need to take responsibility for encouraging overweights by continuing to pay for the weight. If we don’t work on this all together, the measures that will have to be taken will be hard on everybody.

The CILA will be working with CVSE and the licenses to get a permanent resolution to the overweight situation, before ticketing, delays and costs get out of hand. Please keep this in mind when talking to drivers, loadermen, etc. We don’t want to see drivers climbing on loads or getting hurt. b

ON where his company is located. “The goal is to educate everyone from carriers, to the courts, to the public of the scope and seriousness of cargo crime and the impact it and the organized syndicates behind it is having not only on the business world but in our communities,” he said. “There is some momentum building,” says Bryan. “Industry has taken the first steps, law enforcement is there beside us to help, but so much more needs to be done.” Including, he says, tougher sentencing.

Project Momentum’s second phase will focus on providing training and awareness to law enforcement, raising the profile of cargo crime and its consequences in the judicial system and strengthening the “partnership” to reduce cargo crime.

Plans to roll out similar events in other hot spots across Canada are being planned. b

New Line Lowers Cost To Maintain Vehicle Alliance Truck Parts, a leading provider of replacement truck parts, has added Nitrite-free Organic Additive Technology (OAT) and Nitrited Organic Additive Technology (NOAT) extended life coolant/ antifreeze products to its coolant line. Specially formulated for severe-duty applications, these new coolants are designed to further reduce the total cost of ownership for truckers by improving heat transfer and water pump seal life.

“The technology that these new coolants provide is really what makes them stand out in the marketplace today,” ex-

plains Todd Biggs, Director of Aftermarket Parts and Service Marketing for Daimler Trucks North America. “When we compare our new red extended-life coolants to the pink or traditional green formulations, we are seeing drivers save approximately $600-$900 per year in coolant and maintenance costs.”

Both OAT and NOAT are specifically formulated to meet requirements of today’s technologically advanced heavy-duty engines and are compatible with all quality coolants.

Mack Trucks Selects Top Bulldog In Walk The Bulldog Competition Tom Tenseth of Bruckner Truck Sales of Fort Worth, Texas earned the right to be top bulldog as the winner of the 2013 Mack Trucks Walk the Bulldog competition.

Walk the Bulldog features Mack sales professionals from across the U.S. competing to determine who most effectively presents the Mack total value proposition.

During the championship, Mack sales professionals conducted a truck “walkaround,” a hands-on presentation of the MACK Granite model to a customer. Competitors were judged on how well they communicated

product features and benefits based on customer requirements, as well as the service and support solutions offered under the MACK Pedigree Uptime Protection program.

“Walk the Bulldog is one way we recognize the knowledge and customer focus of Mack sales professionals,” said John Walsh, Mack Vice President of Marketing.

“Our dealers and sales teams are first in line to help customers get the best truck for the job they need to do, backing that up with service and support throughout the ownership experience.

The most tested and approved OAT extended life coolant on the market, it is designed to provide extreme long-term wet sleeve liner cavitation and corrosion protection of all cooling system components. It is the only coolant with a 1,000,000 mile/20,000 off road hours guarantee.

“With over 40 percent of truck downtime being related to cooling system failure, drivers should invest in a quality coolant,” said Biggs. “Alliance coolant is formulated to support new engines and to help them to run harder and longer all while reducing the total cost of ownership and saving drivers money.”

For more information on the new Alliance Truck Parts coolant line, visit alliancetruckparts.com. b This competition shows what it takes to make that happen.”

Tenseth, who placed third at last year’s competition, started at Bruckner’s as a truck technician in 1995 and began selling Mack trucks in 1999. Stephen Cline, of Bruckner Truck Sales of Oklahoma City, placed second in the competition. Bill Gross, of W.W. Engine & Supply in Harrisburg, PA, finished third.

Twelve sales professionals competed in the third annual competition, all of whom were top finishers at regional competitions. One hundred and eight sales professionals participated overall, providing an interactive way to hone their skills and deepen their knowledge of Mack products and services. b

Prep Work Begins For DRIC Bridge Preparation work is underway on Windsor’s west end for the first phases of the new Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) at the Windsor-Detroit border.

A presidential permit for the new crossing was approved in April and it now appears preliminary work is underway.

According to reporter Dave Battagello at the Windsor Star, a fence has recently been erected in Brighton Beach area to mark off the new federally owned property which will be home of the Canadian plaza for the bridge, which will be built about two kilometres downriver from the Ambassador Bridge.

The Star also reports that Transport Canada has launched environmental measures required within the lands that will serve as the launching point for the new bridge. The agency is also working closely with other departments, including the Canada Border Ser-

vices Agency, on the design of the Canadian plaza and completing negotiations with property owners for the remaining lands required for the plaza site.

On the U.S. side, design work for the plaza and customs inspection area is also well underway, Transport Canada’s Mark Butler told the newspaper.

Government officials overseeing the bridge project indicated construction should begin in either late 2015 or early 2016. It is expected to take four years to complete.

Meritor WABCO Receives Quality Award From Hino Meritor WABCO, a leader in the integration of safety and efficiency technology for the North American commercial vehicle industry, has received the 2012 Excellence in Quality Award from Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S.A., Inc. Meritor WABCO has been recognized for this prestigious award three times in the past five years.

The award recognizes Meritor WABCO achieving a perfect 0 parts per million (PPM) defect rate

during the entire calendar year 2012. Meritor WABCO supplies Hino with pneumatic and hydraulic antilock braking (ABS) systems for vehicles built in Williamston, W.Va., and Woodstock, Ont., Canada.

LED Headlamps Now Standard On All Freightliner Cascadias Freightliner Trucks recently announced that Truck-Lite high visibility LED headlamps are now standard on all Freightliner Cascadia and Cascadia Evolution truck models.

Custom-engineered by Truck-Lite for the Cascadia and Cascadia Evolution, the long-lasting LED lights offer superior nighttime driver visibility and enhanced safety, resulting in improved object recognition at night. The LED beam pattern also reduces eye-strain for drivers and

minimizes harsh headlight glare to oncoming traffic.

Additionally, the LED lights reduce the draw on the vehicle’s electrical system, freeing up power for other uses and resulting in a 50-times longer lighting system life than conventional halogen technology.

The durable headlamps underwent vigorous field testing in a variety of extreme weather conditions.

“We want every component on our products to not only be cost-efficient,

ATA Applauds FMCSA for Reasonable Rest Break Guidance Recently, American Trucking Associations applauded the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for clarifying that due to a recent court ruling, both categories of shorthaul drivers would not be subject to the 30-minute rest break provision of the new hours-of-service rules.

“In its first step to implement the court’s recent Hours of Service ruling, Administrator Ferro and FMCSA have taken a rea-

sonable enforcement approach concerning the rest break provision for both types of shorthaul drivers as the Agency drafts a revised rule to comply with the court,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said.

“We’re pleased that FMCSA is moving forward to provide swift, reasonable relief to drivers who operate locally.”

In its Aug. 2 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the

ees,” said Jon Morrison, President and General Manager at Meritor WABCO. “We’re proud that our team can achieve this standard of excellence in a very dynamic and demanding industry.”

The award was presented to Meritor WABCO at the Hino 2013 Annual Business Meeting in Plymouth, Mich. on June 6, 2013.

“The Cascadia and Cascadia Evolution are industry leaders in safety, driving experience and lowest total cost of ownership, and LED headlamps further enhance the products.”

In January 2013, Freightliner Trucks offered the custom headlamp as an aftermarket and factory installed option for the Cascadia and Cascadia Evolution, and is now offering as standard due to positive customer response to the benefits delivered.

Support For Infrastructure Projects In Eastern PEI Announced The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue and Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), the Honourable Ron MacKinley, Prince Edward Island Minister of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development, along with community group representatives recently announced infrastructure investments for three projects in Eastern PEI. “I am pleased to announce our Government’s support for these three Eastern PEI communities,” said Minister Shea.

“Coming from a small rural community, I know how important community facilities are in creating and maintaining strong and prosperous communities, especially in rural PEI. I am proud to be part of a Government that understands the need to invest in our communities and continues to show real support

“The time had come that our facility was no longer able to meet the needs of efficient services and best serve our residents,” said Allan Glover, Deputy Fire Chief, Murray Harbour Fire Department. “With the support of the federal and provincial governments, we are able to carry out significant upgrades and improvements to our existing building that will allow us

The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency is delivering the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund in Atlantic Canada with an allocation of $16.6 million, and up to $2.5 million is being invested in Prince Edward Island.

In Economic Action Plan

Thirteen Thousand Trees Planted By Parks Canada and presentation of park properties, and Bruce Peninsula National Park is working to bring recently acquired lands up to these standards. Work this summer has focused on sites that were mostly used for agriculture, but historically, they would have held hardwood forests, which are now relatively rare. By planting over 13,000 trees this summer, the park is working to reintroduce hardwood forest on the peninsula. The trees were planted in cooperation with the Grey-Sauble Conservation Authority with substantial assistance from the province of Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program.

“While we could probably get some great YouTube video by offering a 3 bedroom bungalow to a family of black bears, the park is really focused on creating suitable and connected habitat that will support the diverse range of animals that call the park home,” said Frank Burrows, Superintendent,

Wind Development Good News For Local PEI Economy The turbines won’t be commissioned until later this year, but the Hermanville/ Clearspring wind development is already benefiting the local economy, says Finance, Energy and Municipal Affairs Minister Wes Sheridan.

“A lot of people are working during the construction of this project,” said Minister Sheridan.

“Looking around the site, you see contractors from Tignish to Souris, and we’ll be hiring more as the proj-

ect moves ahead. These workers visit the neighbouring communities and spend money throughout the local economy.”

So far, the project has provided employment to more than 125 workers from 25 engineering, construction and building trades companies. This represents an investment in excess of $10 million in goods and services. A further $3.5 million in nonturbine related equipment has been ordered from 15

2012, the Government of Canada announced this infrastructure program with a commitment of $150 million over two years.

The Prince Edward Island Government is delivering funds to eligible projects through the Island Community Fund, a multiyear funding commitment to address infrastructure needs in communities across the province. b Bruce Peninsula National Park. “The work we are doing will help ensure that future generations of Canadians will be able to come here to connect with nature and discover the beauty of an incredible and diverse landscape.”

The active management techniques that the park is implementing are helping to restore the connectivity of natural ecosystems within the park. Farms, houses, roads and industry create barriers that fragment and affect animal habitat. By re-naturalizing recently acquired property within the park boundaries, these human created barriers are being removed. This will directly benefit wildlife populations like black bear and forest birds by helping to limit predators and invasive species.

Parks Canada works to ensure Canada’s historic and natural heritage is protected and, through a network of 44 national parks, 167 national historic sites, and four national marine conservation areas, invites Canadians and people around the world to engage in personal moments of inspiring discovery at our treasured natural and historic places. b different suppliers.

“The economic spinoffs from this project are significant,” said Minister Sheridan. “On top of that, when the turbines are commissioned, we’ll be providing $350,000 a year in landowner payments and a community trust fund for the Hermanville/Clearspring area.”

This $60 million project will create another 30 Megawatts of wind energy for use in Prince Edward Island. When added to its existing wind development, Prince Edward Island will be generating more than 30 per cent of its electric power from this clean, renewable source. b
