NITRIDED CYLINDERS

Mailhot cylinders are nitrided using the liquid salt bath procedure to achieve a wear resistant surface which protects against corrosion and mechanical damage. As a result, the cylinder has an extremely long working life.

M Series

C Series

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.

The M, C and CS Series hydraulic cylinder — in most applications a two year warranty is applicable — subject to normal wear.

For 50 years, Mailhot Industries has manufactured & exported cylinders worldwide.

Choosing A Trucking Company: Discipline Before All Else Most people want to be successful. They ask what it takes, want advice on what they are doing and desire to have the finer things in life: less pressure, more freedom, a return on their effort.

However, not everyone is successful. Just as the Rolling Stones sang, “You can’t always get what you want”.

When people ask what it takes to be successful, they are often told many different things. In my line of work I probably get asked that question more than most. An answer can be given in many different ways: what specifically is this person doing wrong or what specific things can they change? It can become a very personal question, not just a general one. However, the answer for most is usually very similar. Most unsuccessful people are undisciplined. Successful people are usually very

disciplined. Some people know they are (or aren’t) and some don’t.

Being a successful operator requires discipline, attention to details and forward planning. In the end there are no excuses that will hold to full scrutiny in light of discipline.

There are big choices and small choices every day. Each choice aids to success or detracts from it. Failure to choose (procrastination) is also a choice.

Procrastination is one of the most costly choices people make. Procrastination is the arch

enemy of discipline and success.

Successful operators do not have to be rocket scientists. Though I have met operators who are incredibly smart, it’s not a necessity for success.

In fact, sometimes their “brilliance” hinders their success. I’ve seen dull minds be much more successful than brighter minds. It may not seem fair; it may be offensive to some, but it’s reality.

Being an operator is about performing with an acceptable level of service in a predictable, precise and structured format.

Truck driving is highly repetitive work. Attention to detail keeps the truck safe and the load on time.

There are many “smart” people who simContinued on page T-6

Carrier HR Plans Take Aim At Driver Shortage Fleets are trying adapt to an emerging driver shortage environment by experimenting with new human resource tactics to attract and retain drivers.

Pay increases, switching to more dedicated operations, surveying drivers on their wants and need are just some efforts being undertaken by fleets to try and find ways to solve the ongoing driver shortage, Fleet Owner magazine reports.

One truck driver survey issued by logistics conglomerate National Retail System seeks to identify roadblocks in the truck driver recruiting and retention process. The survey concluded that the biggest impediments to pursuing a truck driving career remain pay, home time, and benefits.

A spokesman for NRS said recruiting for local truck driver jobs isn’t exactly easy, just less challenging than long-haul positions where home time is less frequent.

Kevin Knight, Chairman and CEO for TL carrier Knight Transportation noted in the company’s second quarter earnings release that developing and retaining high quality driving associates remains a significant

challenge to the industry.

“Despite a strong freight environment, the current driver supply situation has been a headwind for adding additional capacity,” he said. “[Thus] our driver development and training programs remain a primary focus area for our management team.”

Swift Transportation recently rolled out a new multi-pronged effort to improve its driver recruiting and retention efforts that includes pay raises and the development of more dedicated operations.

“We are instituting a large driver pay increase in the third quarter [and] if current driver shortages continue, driver wages may continue to increase, but probably not to the extent of the increase we are giving this year to our drivers,” said Jerry Moyes, Swift’s Founder and CEO, during the carrier’s second quarter earnings conference call with analysts and reporters.

“The dedicated business is much more driver friendly,” he added. “It’s more consistent, predictable and generally allows for more regular home time. All of these are desirable in a difficult driver retention mar-

ket like that which we are facing today. [That’s why] we are currently talking to our customers about the need to get more money in the hands of our drivers.”

NRS’s Saville noted that his company is working to try and develop more “flexible” schedules to enable truck drivers to be home more often at times they desire, while also casting a broader net through different communication mediums to find new and willing recruits.

“Recruitment in the year 2014 is not like how it was 20 years ago where one newspaper ad would suffice to hire your operation’s needs,” he explained. “Today’s recruitment efforts are a full-out campaign, which includes hiring fairs, flyers, banners, multiple recruitment sites, blogging, a social media presence, targeted emails, and mobile application optimization to name a few.”

Saville added that industry leaders are well aware that without a revolving door of drivers, carriers cannot meet customer demands, which ultimately affects consumers who will feel the impact when they go to the store and see aisles of empty shelves. b

ply think too much. They operate assuming they possess too many exceptions, too many new plans and new options.

They seem to constantly chase some imaginary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, trying to “hit it big” in the industry.

Please understand that there is no pot of gold, there are only pennies. The encouraging thing is there are lots of pennies. The discouraging thing (for some) is that each penny has to be consciously picked up, almost one at a time.

This requires discipline, patience, structure and a vigilant eye for the next penny.

There are many successful operators, and every one focuses on the

productive use of their time, consistently picking up each penny as it appears. Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys the tedious nature of penny picking. Impatience, greed and shortcuts seduce a lot of people away from the discipline of making money.

Just the simple setting of the cruise is a reflection of an operator’s impatience, greed or arrogance. How aggressive an operator accelerates their truck to highway speed, navigates traffic and plans their day reflects their discipline to making or losing money.

Success is almost always the accumulation of a whole bunch of small decisions rather than the big ones. The hard working operator who pays

attention to details will make each small decision count as a benefit.

Choosing a trucking company may be considered a “big decision”, but it will often times make little difference to the operator’s bottom line in comparison to the benefits or negative paybacks of the small choices. b Robert D Scheper operates an accounting and consulting firm in Steinbach, Manitoba.

Hendrickson Announces HVSI Training Program In Edmonton Hendrickson Vehicle Suspension Institute (HVSI) scheduled its next session of hands-on technical suspension training for the heavyduty transportation industry.

Two sessions will be held, September 9 and September 10, 2014, in Edmonton, Canada at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) located in the province of Alberta, Canada. Each full-day session includes classroom and hands-on training.

The training is conducted

by Hendrickson’s regional field service managers and topics include both truck and trailer suspension systems, trailer axle wheelends and brakes.

The HVSI program provides technicians, as well as parts and service personnel, with a basic orientation and hands-on experience for the recommended installation, service, maintenance and repair procedures for all Hendrickson suspension systems.

Hundreds of technicians from independent repair

facilities, fleets, OE service dealerships and parts distributors have participated in the past sessions.

“HVSI uses a hands-on and a classroom training environment as part of the Hendrickson technical training program. Feedback has been extremely positive and the training has proven to benefit participants who are working the challenges every day. Participants get to interact with our trainers and obtain the ability to experience real time repair procedures. We want our end users, technicians and parts specialist to have a great experience with learning about and maintaining our Hendrickson suspension systems. HVSI enables that experience,” said David McCleave, Marketing and Aftermarket Director for Hendrickson Truck Commercial Vehicle Systems.

A Bendix Guide To Replacing Air Disc Brake Friction 21010 108 AVE, EDMONTON, AB

Arne’s specializes in trailers for the gravel industry and has become a name to be trusted. Arne’s also has a rich history in the specialized lowbeds for oilfield, construction and equipment hauling.

Brandon dump bodies are top quality Canadian built gravel boxes offering full hardox construction rock boxes to ecomomy silage and gravel boxes.

BWS / EZ2LOAD are one of Canada’s top quality trailer manufacturers. They have broadened our trailer line in BC with different models of tag hydraulic detach and logging trailers.

As the performance benefits of air disc brake technology continue to gain the confidence of the commercial vehicle industry, fleets and drivers that have already adopted air disc brakes are seeing firsthand the long-term service advantages. As part of the Bendix Tech Tips series, Bendix offers a step-by-step look at replacing air disc brake friction, along with preventive maintenance tips easily undertaken during the process.

“Air disc brakes offer quick and easy pad changes – about 15 minutes once the wheel is removed – and don’t require regular lubrication,” said Kevin Pfost, Technical Services Coordinator, Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC (BSFB).

“Faster service times equal greater vehicle uptime, as do the longer life cycles of air disc brakes.”

Out with the Old Prepping for an air disc brake pad change is simple in that the brakes are the same whether they are equipped on a steer, drive, or trailer axle.

If the parking brake is on, it will need to be released or caged so that the axle rotates freely.

Once the wheel is off, exposing the wheel-end, find and remove the cap covering the shear adapter on the brake caliper. Using a 10 mm socket wrench or

a ratcheting box wrench on the adapter, turn the adjuster counterclockwise – a clicking noise indicates that the tappets are “backing off,” or loosening the pads’ grip on the brake rotor – until it stops. A chain connects the pair of tappets to extend and retract them simultaneously.

“It’s important never to turn the adjuster without the shear adapter installed,” Pfost noted. “The shear adapter is designed to fail in the event of overtightening, preventing damage to the adjustment mechanism itself. The adjustment mechanism is not replaceable, so if it goes bad, the entire caliper will need to be replaced.”

Once the shear adapter is fully backed off, the brake pads can be freed for removal. A retaining bar across the top of the brake pads holds them in place: use a small pair of pliers to remove the spring clip from the pin fastening the retaining bar, then remove the washer from the pin as well. Push down on the retaining bar, pull out the pin, and remove the pad retaining bar. The two brake pads can now be lifted out from either side of the rotor.

Take a quick look at the pads: The minimum friction thickness is about 2 mm – roughly the thickness of a nickel. Compare

that with the thickness of new pads to see just how much usage you get out of air disc brake friction.

Boots, Pins, Bushings, and Seals Before installing the new pads, take some time for a preventive maintenance inspection: • Using the shear adapter, extend the tappets and inspect the tappet boots to make sure they are not damaged or contaminated with dirt, which can cause them to bind.

• Inspect the guide pin boots: Push the caliper all the way inboard to open up the boots and check them for damage and contamination.

• Look over the tappets, seals, and bushings.

If components are damaged, service with a genuine Bendix service kit.

Use the brake manufacturer’s service data sheet to determine the right kit, which should include the components as well as any special tools to ensure that new bushings are set at the proper depth. The free Bendix On-Line Brake School courses at www. brake-school.com include a video on replacing these components.

Note that slide pin lubrication is not required: Air disc brakes are lubricated for life and do not need grease fittings or oil spray as long as the components remain uncontaminated.

In with the New When the inspection and any component replacements are complete, make sure the tappets are Continued on page T-11

fully backed off so they are flush, and slide the new brake pads down into position. They will go in only one way: with the friction facing the rotor and the pad springs at the top.

In addition to the new pads, Bendix brake pad replacement kits include pad springs, pad retaining bars, and retaining bar pins, clips, and washers.

Once the new friction is installed, replace the pad retaining bar and fasten it in place with the pin, washer, and clip.

With the 10 mm socket wrench or ratcheting box wrench, turn the shear adapter clockwise to adjust the tappets until the new pads make enough contact with the rotor to stop it from free-wheeling, then back it off – counterclockwise – three clicks. Replace the cap that covers the shear adapter, and the pad replacement is complete.

“We recommend replacing the pads on the entire axle at the same time, which is why Bendix pad kits include all the parts necessary for a complete axle pad change,” Pfost

Your Truck & Trailer Connection, Since 1971 said. “A fresh set of friction across the board will ensure that each brake shares an equal part of the stopping workload, which is crucial for optimal safety and performance.”

The Bendix ADB22X air disc brake is available through all six major truck original equipment manufacturers, including Peterbilt, Kenworth, Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), Mack, Volvo, and International. The brake has been standard equipment on the steer axle of all Peterbilt Motors Company Class 8 tractors since 2011, and on Kenworth tractors since 2013.

Bendix provides commercial fleets, technicians, and drivers with the tools they need to ensure safe operation through assessment, maintenance, and repair. The Bendix On-Line Brake School at www. brake-school.com provides access to the company’s knowledge database and technical resources on all aspects of electronics and air brake maintenance and product education.

The Bendix Brake Training School, one of the indus-

try’s longest-running training programs, has educated more than 250,000 students since its founding more than 50 years ago. Among other tools, the company offers field-tested sales and service professionals; a 100 percent ASE-certified field technical support team; and the Bendix Tech Team (at 1-800-AIR-BRAKE), an expert technical support group providing service advice, brake system troubleshooting, and product training.

Bendix Establishes Mechatronics Lab At RIT Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Knorr-Bremse sister company New York Air Brake LLC, working in conjunction with Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) have created the KnorrBremse North America Mechatronics Laboratory at RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering in Rochester, New York. The laboratory will open this fall and serve both RIT students and engineers from Bendix and New York Air Brake.

Bendix and Watertown, New York-based New York Air Brake (NYAB) are members of the KnorrBremse Group, and together make up Knorr-Bremse North America (KBNA).

Bendix is the North American leader in the development and manufacture of leading-edge active safety and braking system technologies for commercial vehicles, while NYAB focuses on braking systems and technologies for the rail industry. Based in Munich, Germany, Knorr-Bremse is the world’s pre-eminent manufacturer of braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles.

Bendix and NYAB enjoy a long-standing relationship with RIT and helped develop its Mechatronics Engineering Certificate Program, which allows engineers in the mechanical and engineering disciplines

to become stronger contributors to multi-disciplinary design teams. Mechatronics is considered the intersection of electrical and mechanical engineering and is a critical component in advancing many commercial vehicle and rail safety technologies.

“Cross-competence and collaboration are absolutely crucial to our teams’ work at Bendix, and at NYAB as well,” said Richard Beyer, Bendix Vice President of Engineering and R&D. “Mechatronics projects require that approach, and we know that RIT also places a high value on cross-disciplinary work between its electrical and mechanical engineering programs. This laboratory emphasizes the importance of that philosophy in a valuable, real-world setting.”

The nearly 1,000-squarefoot laboratory is prominently located adjacent to the main lobby in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering building on the RIT campus. Inside are five equipment stations that use fully-functional Bendix and NYAB technology to provide hands-on experience covering key aspects of the mechatronics curriculum, such as vibration, pneumatic controls, and valve control software. The stations and lab work are designed to expose participants to a full range of mechatronics equipment and

situations, from pure mechanics to pure electronics.

In addition to opportunities for challenging coop assignments at Bendix and NYAB facilities across North America, the organizations have in place a selective Engineering Development Program (EDP) to ensure their engineers remain at the forefront of technology development.

Aimed at new engineering graduates with undergraduate or advanced degrees, the EDP program – a potent blend of practical experience, career mentoring, and more – enables the participants to make an immediate contribution while fostering their professional development and advancement. Bendix and NYAB also incorporate a rigorous Technical Skills Enhancement (TSE) program available to their engineering corps, which features RIT’s mechatronics curriculum as a part of the diverse training offerings. Employees seeking mechatronics certification in these programs complete most of their coursework and lab simulation work online, then visit the KBNA Mechatronics Laboratory for an immersion week to put their learning to the test in a practical environment.

The lab will similarly serve RIT’s mechanical and electrical engineering students pursuing certification in mechatronics. Bendix and NYAB are working with RIT to develop elective mechanical and electrical engineering courses that can also make use of the laboratory resources.

The KBNA Mechatronics Laboratory is expected to open in October for RIT students, and the first round of Knorr-Bremse North America employees will make use of the facility in January 2015.

“Incorporating KBNAinspired real-world learning experiences for mechanical and electrical engineering

Page T-13 students will allow RIT to continue producing world class engineers that make a world of difference to their employers and communities,” said Edward Hensel, Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies at RIT. Bendix and New York Air Brake are also working with RIT to build a curricu-

lum in supply chain management skills within the institute’s industrial and systems engineering program.

“We are incredibly proud of the ongoing collaboration and the robust exchange of ideas between Bendix, New York Air Brake, and the faculty and administration at RIT. b
