With commercial vehicle technology advancing and expanding the use of air for non-braking functions, the experts at Bendix Commer-cial Vehicle Systems LLC stress the importance of protecting air systems from contamination to ensure longevity and performance. As part of its Bendix Tech Tips series, Bendix offers preventive maintenance and troubleshooting insight on air dryer systems and some of their key components.

“Systems that can be impacted by excessive oil or moist air – from the air brakes to the engine, emis-sion, and drivetrain systems – are susceptible to failure when that air is contami-nated,” said Rick Conklin, Bendix Product Line Direc-tor, Air Treatment. “These systems often include tech-nologies that improve pro-ductivity and fuel economy, or that are required to meet emissions regulations. Pro-tecting them is important to keep vehicles on the road, increase their service cycles,

and reduce maintenance costs.”

An overall air dryer system check should be-gin with opening the drain valves on the reservoirs to check for moisture in the system. If moisture is pres-ent, verify that no external air has been applied to the system, and check the air dryer’s service data sheet to confirm that the air dry-er is mounted in the correct location with the correct discharge line length.

If external air was ap-plied, drain all reservoirs and purge tanks, restart the vehicle, and allow sys-tem pressure to build to the governor cutout pres-sure. Verify that the proper system pressure has been reached, then operate the vehicle normally. Recheck for water in the reservoirs after one week.

If an issue with the air dryer mounting or plumb-ing is encountered, have it corrected, and ensure that the discharge line from the compressor to the air dryer

slopes continuously down-ward to the air dryer inlet, with no water traps.

Also remember to take into account any significant temperature changes with-in the previous 24 hours. Ambient temperature shifts of greater than 30 degrees Fahrenheit can cause a temporary accumulation of moisture. If a significant temperature change oc-curred, continue to oper-ate the vehicle under nor-mal conditions. The small amount of water that may have condensed due to the temperature shift will be reabsorbed by the dry air once the vehicle is in oper-ation. Check the air system again after one week.

Whether moisture is present in the system or not, check all the air lines for damage such as chaf-ing, and examine the air dryer mounting bolts for tightness and torque as specified in the manufac-turer’s service data sheet.

Within the air dryer sys-tem, there are three key

components to monitor: the air dryer cartridge, the purge valve, and the deliv-ery check valve.Air Dryer Cartridge Maintenance – Easy as 1-2-3

Depending on voca-tion, Bendix recommends a one-, two-, or three-year air dryer cartridge replace-ment on vehicles equipped with a Bendix compressor.• One year or 100,000

miles: Severe service ap-plications such as resi-dential refuse trucks or school buses;

• Two years or 200,000

miles: Pickup and deliv-ery operations; double- and tripletrailer line haul trucks;

• Three years or 300,000 miles: Line haul opera-tions using a single trailer.Recommended intervals

for trucks equipped with non-Bendix compressors are six months (50,000 miles), one year (100,000 miles), and two years (200,000 miles), respec-tively.

More frequent intervals may be required depending on a vehicle’s age, com-pressor condition, and op-

erating environment.For better air dryer per-

formance and increased system protection, Bendix recommends using an oil-coalescing cartridge like the Bendix PuraGuard. Oil can be particularly harmful to air systems, deteriorat-ing seals – which can cause leaks – and contributing to premature damage in a va-riety of other components such as push-pull dash valves, spring brake modu-lating valves, and brake chamber diaphragms.

may be replaced with oil-coalescing cartridges, but fleets should always change out oil-coalescing cartridges with like replace-ments. Additionally, fleets need to beware of low-cost and counterfeit cartridges, which are not as effective as OEM equipment.Purge Valve Issues and Replacement

As a best practice in pre-ventive maintenance, Bendix recommends replacing the purge valve assembly when-ever the air dryer cartridge is replaced. This will address several potential purge valve issues, including:• Air leakage or lack of

pressure building due to purge valve seal wear;

• •Popping” of the purge valve due to intermittent sticking;

• Loss of engine turbo-charger boost during the purge cycle due to leak-age in the turbo cutoff valve.

Delivery Check Valve Issues and Replacement

Signs that the system’s delivery check valve is in need of replacement include a lack of pressure buildup due to the valve sticking in the closed position, and rapid cycling or loss of pres-sure during the purge cycle caused by a leaky valve.

Bendix recommends replacing the air dryer sys-tem’s delivery check valve with every other cartridge replacement.

“Keeping an air system operating properly is criti-cal — but it doesn’t have to be complicated,” Conk-lin said. “By understanding the system’s key compo-nents, installing oilcoalesc-ing air dryer cartridges, and following a regular mainte-nance schedule, fleets can keep their vehicles on the road, operating safely and generating revenue.”

Bendix provides com-mercial fleets, technicians, and drivers with the tools they need to ensure safe operation through assess-ment, 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.

Financing a business can be a complicated af-fair but if you are in the transportation business it’s more straightforward. On one hand you have large pieces of equipment which you can lease and on the other you have bills of lad-ing which you can factor. In between you take care of the variable expenses with cashflow and build working capital through supplier credit and retained earnings.

Of course it’s not that simple; competition is fierce, fuel is expensive, good drivers are hard to find and any number of things can go wrong in a given day. New companies appear and disappear with regularity and those who fail to adapt simply leave quickly. It’s a challenging and constantly changing industry.

Banks long ago figured out that the industry was high risk if they followed their normal lending prac-tices. Today if a company in the transportation indus-try does not have a healthy balance sheet with plenty of collateral a bank will not even consider taking an application. On an ongoing basis they closely scruti-nize and carefully monitor all their transportation cli-ents.

As a result, today you will find entire industries of specialized finance com-panies that do nothing but focus on the transportation industry. These lenders are industry experienced and they understand the risks. They also need to charge more to cover the higher maintenance and risks involved and because in most cases their funds

come from a bank.Factoring has been a

common source of working capital finance for many years. It doesn’t have the same negative connota-tion in the transportation industry than it might have in other industries. Some feel like it’s a last resort but for those who know something about business finance, Factoring is sim-ply the perfect way for a smaller, newer or growing transport company to fi-nance itself.

Applying for a Factor-ing relationship is a fairly straightforward process. Paperwork must be in good order, taxes must be up to date and ownership must be capable and com-mitted. The completeness of the information is more important to a Factor than the details. It usually takes only a couple of weeks to go through the whole pro-cess.

Because Factoring is so common in the transpor-tation industry the issue of customer notification is not a big one when it’s done right. Customers who complain or refuse factored invoices are usu-ally the same ones who pay their invoice poorly. It simply makes sense for a growing, busy com-pany with minimal full time staff to outsource the management of their Ac-counts Receivable.

A Factor is far more flexible in dealing with the challenges that will invari-

ably happen as a business goes through its growing pains. A proper factoring relationship is one where both parties succeed if the business succeeds. Factor-ing services also reduce risk and save the compa-ny both time and money. What could be better than a “non-equity partnership” where both parties contrib-ute?

Good communication is the most vital ingredient of a successful factoring rela-tionship. A typical one will last somewhere between 6 and 24 months. Take the time to find a Factor who also takes the time to get to know you. Beware of the ones who offer you a quick and easy application pro-cess without commitments or a contract.

Remember that you are choosing a financial part-ner who is in direct contact with your customers. You only want to work with a Factor who takes the time to understand your needs, walks you through the ap-plication process, outlines the process and provides a Proposal that includes everything. What could be more straightforward than that? b

WE HAVE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION!

20246 - 102nd Ave, Langley, BC New Equipment Arriving Daily!


“Walter” is its name, and it’s a behemoth of a truck. A 1978 Kenworth 953 — a six-wheel drive conventional capable of hauling loads in excess of 160,000 pounds. It’s a truck with more than 2 million miles under the hood; a truck that still moves oil rigs over the most treacherous off-road terrain the folks at B&R

Eckel’s Transport can throw its way.

“And it symbol-izes why we run Ken-worths,” said Darren Smith, Fleet Manager for the Bonnyville, Alberta-based trucking company. “Kenworths are tough. They’re durable, and at the end of their cycle with us, they can com-mand a high resale value

in excess of 20 percent more than a comparably spec’d truck.”

Arguably one of the most diverse trucking businesses in Canada, B&R Eckel’s is a privately held company that was founded in 1965 by Victor Ringuette, who still heads the company nearly 50 years later. Today, 55 per-cent of its loads are des-

tined for oil fields, while 45 percent are general freight. It operates 360 Class 6-8 tractors and has more than 1,100 pieces of additional equipment – including lowboys, flat decks, reefers and dry vans, and specialized oil-field hauling equipment.Kenworth Vocational Trucks

For the oil patch, mostly in Alberta and Saskatch-ewan, the company utilizes a mix of big and ultra-big tractors. The majority is Kenworth equipment in-cluding the C500. Many of the C500s are configured with 40,000-lb tandem steer axles. Others feature tri-drive axles, powered by 550 hp engines, driven through 18-speed transmis-sions.

“The C500 is our staple heavy rig mover, and it joins Walter in moving the biggest loads,” said Smith. “They’re flatbed units with dual winches to haul aboard the oil rig drilling platforms. To sup-port those trucks we run a lot of Kenworth T800s and use them as picker trucks, or as winch tractors.

“Going forward, we’ve seen the new Kenworth T880s, and we’re fired up

about putting those into our operation as well,” said Smith. “It has the same bloodline as the T800, so we know it’s a tough truck that can be spec’d the way we want it. The comfort of that truck is really something. The reaction from our first driver of that rig was, ‘wow, this is like driving a big car. It doesn’t feel like a truck at all.’ ”Kenworth Over-The-Road Trucks

For the over-the-road fleet, Smith said the com-pany has possible plans to standardize with the new Kenworth T680, which have been in operation as day cabs for the company in regional operations.

The Kenworth T680 day cab is already prov-ing itself in regional op-erations. “In initial com-ments from our frontline operators we are extreme-ly happy with the new model,” Smith said. “The T680 day cab is equipped with a PACCAR MX-13 engine, rated at 500 horsepower, and our driv-ers are saying the engine pulls well — and has bet-ter overall power as com-pared to some of the other engines we run.”

B&R Eckel’s was also the first in Canada to take delivery of the new Kenworth T680 52-inch sleeper. “We’re using that model for longer haul runs and anticipate it may become our flagship truck,” said Smith. “But, the proof will be in the pudding – we capture all the data in life cycle costs from maintenance to fuel economy to resale value. But we visualize that this truck could be our truck of choice. Everyone builds a good truck, but that being said, Kenworth seems to fit the bill for us in every way. The visibility, the comfort, the quietness of the truck is unmatched.”

For its over–the-road fleet, B&R Eckel’s has a trade cycle of 4.5 to 5.0 years, or 700,000 to 750,000 kilometers. “One of the biggest keys in measuring life cycle costs of equipment is re-sale value,” said Smith. “And what we’ve seen with Kenworth, and what I’ve always known being involved in the industry for over 27 years, is that Kenworth commands a premium. We often get in excess of a 20 percent pre-

The BC Trucking As-sociation (BCTA) recently released the International Trucking Reference: Roads, Rules, and Drivers, a guide to the truck driving envi-ronment in 10 countries to help motor carriers under-stand how the skills and experience of an immigrant driver might translate to a professional career in BC.

BCTA developed the In-ternational Trucking Refer-ence with input from mo-tor carriers about the type of information they need to make hiring decisions about job candidates who have gained the bulk of their com-mercial driving experience outside Canada. Included are pointers on the reasons for recruiting drivers from the immigrant labour pool, tips for finding and recruit-ing immigrant candidates, and considerations for suc-cessfully interviewing candi-dates from another culture.

The Reference is a hu-man resources tool for industry employers fac-ing a huge driver short-age, which the Conference

Board of Canada has pro-jected will see up to 33,000 empty seats by 2020. As one of two BCTA projects made possible by the Immi-grant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC) and funded by the Government of Can-ada and the Province of BC, the International Trucking Reference will help address immigrant talent hiring and retention challenges faced by BC employers.

“Given that most BC trucking companies are small to mid-sized, they may not have the staff to research the background of a job ap-plicant with foreign experi-ence. BCTA is pleased that funding from the federal and provincial governments has allowed us to create the In-ternational Trucking Refer-ence, a dependable, easy-to-use resource that will save employers time and help them make better-informed hiring decisions,” said Lou-ise Yako, BCTA President & CEO.

The International Trucking Reference was authored by Ottawa-based

Graybridge Malkalm, a training and consulting firm specializing in orga-nizational diversity. BCTA carriers recommended a “top 10” list of countries to include in the guide: India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, the Re-public of Korea, Romania, Russia, the Ukraine and the United Kingdom. The Reference provides an ac-curate profile of the driving environment in each coun-try, including a description of the terrain and climate, commercial vehicle types, typical driver responsibili-ties, licensing and training standards, infrastructure, and regulations, among others.

“Immigrants who call BC home bring a wealth of talent to our province – tal-ent that employers can tap into as long as they know how to recognize the skills and experience. BCTA’s project will help employers understand the working environments of qualified professional drivers who have immigrated from oth-

er countries, and give them confidence they are hiring people with the skills their companies – and our econ-omy – need,” said Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour, Shirley Bond.

The International Truck-ing Reference complements BCTA’s IDRIVE – the Im-migrant Driver Readiness – Industry Validation and Engagement project, which BCTA is piloting now. ID-RIVE participants complete four tests, including a road test, to assess their expe-rience and readiness for work in BC. With an immi-grant candidate’s IDRIVE report in hand and details from the country profiles in the International Trucking Reference, BC employers can take on new drivers with greater confidence in their ability to operate on North American roads.

The International Truck-ing Reference: Roads, Rules, and Drivers is available to industry employers on BCTA’s website at www.bctrucking.com/careers. More information about IDRIVE is also available on the landing page. The Asia Pacific Gateway Skills Table is managing both projects on BCTA’s behalf. b

For local deliveries, Smith said the company utilizes Kenworth T370s. “These are equipped with van bodies and are used for pickup and delivery,” he said. “They’re working beautifully.”Committed to Service

According to Smith, B&R Eckel’s is putting more equipment to work. “In the past three years, we’ve grown 20 percent and expect that trend to continue,” he said. “Like most trucking compa-nies, we’ve had our share of hard times, but we’re growing again and much of it has to do with our

company’s mantra that Victor and our employ-ees live by: ‘Committed to Service.’ It’s something we truly believe in and we live and breathe that every day. It’s from the top all the way down and one reason I feel that our drivers and other employ-ees stay with us. We have many drivers that have been with us for 20-plus years.”

Smith said B&R Eckel’s not only delivers qual-ity service, but looks for it as well. “We certainly do, and we’ve been very pleased with the dealer support we’ve been given through Edmonton Ken-worth and Kenworth Lloy-dminster. We feel they’re second to none, and they help us keep our wheels turning.” b

The North Carolina De-partment of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) recently recog-nized the Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) plant in Cleveland as an Environmental Steward. The award recognizes DTNA’s superior envi-ronmental performance, commitment to continued reduction of its environ-mental impact, and dem-onstrated commitment to exceed compliance. The facility joins only 16 other commercial facilities in the state to have achieved this recognition.

“Daimler Trucks North America demonstrates what it means to be a successful business with a strong environmental ethic,” said John Skvarla, secretary of the N.C. De-partment of Environment and Natural Resources. “By achieving significant reductions in waste genera-tion and energy usage, the North Carolina facility has shown that the demands of a growing business can

go hand-in-hand with envi-ronmental protection.”

Using the company’s continuous improvement program, DTNA employee teams who are located at the plant identified the best options for reducing waste and recycling each material, whether reusing cartons for shipping, re-claiming solvent, working with supplier partners to reduce packaging, or turn-ing waste into energy.

“This achievement re-quired a commitment by each and every one of the employees here,” said Freightliner Environmental Engineer Heather Callahan. “Everything received or produced by the company is used, reused, recycled, or sold, and nothing is sent to a landfill. Today, the fa-cility joins an elite group of landfill-free manufactur-ing facilities in the United States and is one of five DTNA facilities to do so.”

The title of Environmen-tal Steward is the highest honor of NCDENR’s En-vironmental Stewardship

Initiative (ESI) based on a decision by its 10-mem-ber advisory board which recommended the recogni-tion of the Daimler Trucks North America’s Cleve-land Truck Plant. Advisory board membership consists of individuals from indus-try, trade groups, environ-mental and citizen nongov-ernmental organizations, government, academia and small business.

Reasons cited by the ad-visory board in its recogni-tion of the facility include:• Its compliance history

and commitment to continual improvement including a mature ISO 14001 environmental management system that has been certified by a third party since 2004;

• The facility’s commit-ment to continue to re-duce waste by setting, and achieving a zero waste-to-landfill goal;

• The facility’s elimination of hazardous wastewater sludge due to material substitution; and

• The facility’s commit-

ment to energy conserva-tion, with a 43% reduc-tion over 2008 numbers. These gains are due to lighting changes, win-dow replacements, and installing occupancy sen-sors, as well as the solar array on site.”Daimler Trucks North

America has an ongoing commitment to a holistic approach to achieving a sustainable future,” said Sandra Carter, environ-mental engineering man-ager, Daimler Trucks North America. “As a pioneer in environmental technolo-gies and manufacturing processes, we reach be-yond standard require-ments whenever possible to lead the way for the in-dustry.”

The Zero-Waste-to-Landfill goal was initiated to reduce the carbon foot-print of manufacturing facilities under the DTNA umbrella. The Cleveland plant is one of five DTNA facilities to be recognized for achieving the Zero-Waste-to-Landfill status. Its parts plant in Gastonia, N.C. and its truck plant in Mt. Holly, N.C. also accom-plished the achievement this year. In 2011, DTNA’s Thomas Built Buses plant

in High Point, N.C. was the first bus company to achieve the recognition, and in 2009, its Freightliner Custom Chassis Corpora-tion plant in Gaffney, S.C. was the first chassis plant to achieve the status.

This latest achieve-ment by DTNA is one of many initiatives through which the company is demonstrating its com-mitment to sustainability. With sustainability as one of the company’s business priorities, its mission is to conserve resources, reduce all types of emissions, and promote economic growth while ensuring safe, ef-ficient transportation op-tions.

DTNA environmental engineering representatives are scheduled to participate in the Zero Waste to Land-fill conference, an off-shoot of the Carolina Recycling Association Conference to be held March 31 through April 3, 2014..

The Cleveland facility represents DTNA’s largest manufacturing plant in North America. There, the company produces Class 8 Freightliner trucks, includ-ing the Freightliner Casca-dia. The facility was estab-lished in 1989.

Launched in 2002, the Environmental Steward-ship Initiative is designed to promote and encourage superior environmental performance by North Carolina’s regulated com-munity. It provides tech-nical assistance and net-working opportunities to stimulate the develop-ment and implementa-tion of programs that use pollution prevention and innovative approaches to meet and go beyond regulatory requirements. This program seeks to reduce the impact on the environment beyond mea-sures required by any per-mit or rule, producing a better environment, con-serving natural resources and resulting in long-term economic benefits.

The North Carolina De-partment of Environment and Natural Resources ad-ministers regulatory pro-grams designed to protect air quality, water quality, and the public’s health. The organization also of-fers technical assistance to businesses, farmers, local governments, and the pub-lic and encourages respon-sible behavior with respect to the environment through education programs. b

It’s taken nearly a year to transform the weath-ered development truck that was parked in a courtyard for years into a pristine show truck. The restoration of D001, the first development truck between Cummins and Chrysler, was revealed at the TDR Rally this past June. D001 was part of the initial fleet of six vehicles that were built to test the viability of a Cummins in-line 6-cyl-inder diesel engine in a Dodge Ram pickup. The name D001 originates from the 1980s, when Cummins identified test trucks by the letter D, for “Development”, and a three-digit number – 001, in this case.

The process to restore D001 started under the hood, with a mechanical 12-valve 5.9-liter Cum-mins Turbo Diesel with a Bosch VE rotary pump. When the Cummins resto-ration team first met, the truck hadn’t been start-

ed in over five years. Of course, after that amount of time, the battery was dead. A new battery was installed, and with a tank of 5-year-old diesel fuel, the truck fired on com-mand – true to form for a Gen 1. They fire almost instantaneously, and have an idle sound like no other diesel engine in the indus-try. The original rating for the truck was 160 hp and 400 lb-ft – less than half of the MY2013.5 high-output 385 hp and 850 lb-ft rat-ing. After listening to the truck run and eventually driving it, the decision was made to not touch the internals of the engine. New accessories were in-stalled: a starter, alterna-tor, pulleys and belts.

To restore the body and interior, countless hours were spent break-ing the truck down to the frame, which was then sandblasted, primed and painted. From there, the sus-pension and rear-end

went in. Next came the steering components, and then the engine and transmission were dropped into the frame. While that work was under way, the cab and bed were being restored to mint condition.

As the project pro-gressed, the cab was placed on the completed chassis, and the dash, heating and cooling com-ponents were hooked up. The interior was completely restored – all-new carpet, seats and headliner were installed. Next, the repainted front fenders, hood, grille, bed and bumpers were bolted on. Finally, all the glass and trim pieces were added.

It sounds simple enough, but if you’ve re-stored a vehicle, then you know how many hours are spent on the details. Cum-mins and Chrysler can be very proud of the care that went into the restora-tion and the respect given to this important artifact. This truck was the gen-esis of the Cummins-Ram partnership that has sold over 2 million Cummins Turbo Diesels and count-ing. b

Development Truck Restoration

The simultaneous co-development of the tire and car, using both simulated and track tests, led to very high levels of performance in three specific areas that were identified prior to the start of the project: faster dry lap times, consistent performance lap after lap and optimal grip on wet roads. In short, the Mi-chelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire is an integral part of the new Ferrari 458 Spe-ciale and a key component in giving it its exceptional performance.The tread compound

Produced with the same tools used to man-ufacture race tires, the tread compound of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire integrates Bi-Com-pound technology. The outer rubber has been specially designed to de-liver outstanding dry grip on curves, especially in tight corners, while the in-ner part of the tread uses rubber made with a more rigid elastomer to ensure

precise steering.An aramid fibre belt

The main feature of the belt made with aramid, a high-density fibre, is its heightened tensile strength. This composite is both light and highly resistant; in fact, it is five times stronger than steel at an equivalent weight. The tire’s footprint remains constant as cen-trifugal growth of the tire is effectively controlled, even at very high speeds.The Track Variable Contact Patch 3.0

This innovation opti-mizes pressure in the tire’s contact patch so that a con-stant and optimum amount of rubber is always in con-tact with the track, thereby ensuring superior grip in both long and fast, and tight corners.A new bead area

The bead area is 10 per cent wider than that of a traditional sports tire. It is strengthened with a high modulus rubber com-pound that increases the tire’s lateral stiffness and

delivers sporty respon-siveness as well as precise steering.Velvet sidewalls for clearer markings

The Michelin Velvet Technology creates con-trast on certain sections of the outer sidewall using micro-geometry techniques that absorb light. The ge-ometry of the texture thus generated allows techni-cians to vary the contrast and create shades of black that have the look of vel-vet and make the sidewall markings much more vis-ible.

The very high perfor-mance levels of the new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tire are made possible due to the considerable resources that Michelin invests in its research and development activities – around c600 million per year. This means that the Group’s products do not only perform in one or two specific areas, but in all areas and this is what is known as Michelin Total Performance’.

Full length boat tails on Canadian trucks are one step closer to becoming a reality.

Currently, there are no full length boat tails operat-ing on Canadian highways. The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), expects this to change as a result of a published regulation change to Canadian Mo-tor Vehicle Safety Stan-dard 223 (CMVSS 223). The changes will allow for greater variety of “boat tail” designs to be used by trucking companies once the provincial regulations are updated.

Boat tails are devices installed on the rear of trailers that reduce aerody-namic drag, thereby reduc-ing GHG emissions from heavy commercial trucks that adopt the technol-ogy. Prior to the change by Transport Canada, the reg-ulations severely restricted the ability for provinces to address boat tails in their own regulations and there-by the ability for trucking companies to deploy the use of this technology.

Boat tails are in wide spread use in the United States and this change sets the stage for the use of

this technology on a North American scale.

The revisions to the standard were championed by the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), its provin-cial association partners, as well as the provincial and territorial governments that participated on the Task Force on Vehicle Weights and Dimensions.

The next important step in the process will be for all provincial associations to work with their gov-ernment partners to bring about regulatory changes to allow the widespread adoption of this technol-ogy. CTA will continue to work with Transport Canada to ensure boat tails designed to the new Cana-dian standard receive re-ciprocal recognition in the United States. b

The MACK Twin Y Air Suspension won the 2013 Swedish Steel Prize, an annual award recognizing the world’s most innova-tive design utilizing high-strength steel.

The award was given by SSAB, the global expert in high-strength steel, dur-ing an event Nov. 21 in Stockholm, Sweden. Mack Trucks was one of four fi-nalists for the award.

“Mack Trucks demon-strates how innovative and skilled development can help us to take advantage of high-strength steel to make stronger, lighter, and more sustainable products, which is one aspect of what the prize is intended for,” said Melker Jernberg, Chairman of the Swedish Steel Prize jury and head of the EMEA business area within SSAB.

The Mack Twin Y air suspension is the trucking industry’s first suspension to utilize high-strength

steel in a unique Y-shaped design. The strong, yet lightweight design greatly reduces suspension wind-up and significantly im-proves tire traction and braking control.

“It’s an honor for Mack Trucks and the Mack Twin Y Air Suspension to be rec-ognized for innovation in a global competition,” said John Walsh, Mack vice president of marketing. “As a trucking industry leader, it’s gratifying for Mack to continue to move the in-dustry forward, being al-ways mindful of delivering unmatched performance, fuel efficiency and comfort for Mack customers.”

Mack will donate the 10,000 euros ($13,400) SSAB awarded to Mack for winning the Swedish Steel Prize to the Wounded War-rior Project, a non-profit that empowers wounded service members in the United States, raising pub-

lic awareness and provid-ing unique, direct pro-grams to meet the needs of injured servicemen and women. As an American manufacturer and brand, Mack Trucks has long been a supporter of the U.S. mili-tary dating back to World War I when Mack first be-came a supplier to the U.S. and other Allied forces.

“When we introduced the Twin Y suspension, we knew that it would be of great value to our customers and could change how the trucking industry designs suspensions, but didn’t an-ticipate recognition on this scale,” Walsh said.

The Twin Y Air Suspen-sion was introduced in Jan-uary 2013. It utilizes two stamped high-strength steel Y-shaped blades at each wheel end. Along with improved tire traction and braking control, the sus-pension also offers a more stable ride, better handling

and gains in fuel efficiency. Because of the greater flex-ibility of the steel and the reduced torque reactivity and lighter weight design of the Twin Y, truck com-ponents last longer and tire life is extended.

Available on the MACK Pinnacle Axle Back and Axle Forward models, the Twin Y is paired with the MACK S38 and S40 series axles and C125/126 and C150/151 carriers ensuring that all components are de-signed to seamlessly work together. The load of the suspension is completely on the air ride and not on the pivot bushing, which is another design feature that makes the Twin Y a smoother, more comfort-able alternative to tradi-tional suspensions.

“At Mack, we pride ourselves on building in-novation into each of our trucks that enhances the experience of our custom-ers,” said Greg Kiselis, Mack Trucks Principal En-gineer. “To be recognized by SSAB as a world leader in the use of a material like high-strength steel, helps us know that we are driv-ing product development in the right direction for the trucking industry.” b

MACK Twin Y Air Suspension Wins Prize Hendrickson Bumper

and Trim announces the release of the All Makes AERO CLAD bumper for ProStar with universal tilt mount that retrofits all model year trucks. The uniquely engi-neered design will con-vert any fixed mount bumper into a tilt mount configuration and is ful-ly compatible regardless of truck model year. In addition, the ProStar AERO CLAD bumper of-fers nearly 4” of addi-tional ground clearance compared to the factory supplied plastic bumper and is 15 pounds lighter than the standard plas-tic bumper with chrome overlay.

Hendrickson also of-fers a complete line of bumpers for ProStar trucks including a va-riety of materials, in-cluding AERO CLAD and AERO GUARD, and several mounting op-tions. AERO CLAD of-fers the look and finish

of chrome, is corrosion resistant and is less weight than traditional metal. AERO GUARD, injected molded resin, offers extreme durabil-ity not found in typical injected molded bum-pers. With several com-binations of materials and mounts, Hendrick-son has a ProStar bum-per to meet a variety of customer demands.

AERO CLAD and AERO GUARD ProStar bumpers are available exclusively through the Hendrickson All Makes program and can be purchased from In-ternational Truck dealers. For additional information on ProStar bumpers and for a complete listing of other All Makes Bumpers, please contact: Hendrick-son Bumper and Trim at 800-356-6737 or [email protected]. b

Wales Rally GB, the fi-nal round of the 2013 FIA World Rally Champion-ship, lived up to its repu-tation as one of the most complex events of the season. The mud and ex-tremely slippery Welsh for-est tracks proved a grueling test for the drivers, but the soft-compound Michelin Latitude Cross S3 tire en-abled them to produce some outstanding perfor-mances and put on an ex-citing show for spectators.

This is an event that tra-ditionally throws rain, wind,

About 20 young adults spent the day exploring ca-reers in the trucking industry by visiting one of the coun-try’s award winning truck-ing companies where they toured the facility, talked to staffers about their jobs and took a turn at the wheel of a truck driving simulator.

The one-day snapshot look at the trucking in-dustry was made possible thanks to AMTA and Bison Transport (Calgary). The program, under whose auspices the activity was delivered is called Linking

fog and sometimes even snow at competitors, but this year’s weather condi-tions proved less delicate than expected. Even so, the sky remained threatening and the temperatures were chilly throughout, and the absence of rain had a direct influence on team strate-gies since the crews had to contend with big differences in the amount of grip they encountered compared to what they had come across during their rainy recce ear-lier in the week. More diffi-cult still was the thin layer

Up, a pilot project of the Van Horne Institute. The purpose of Linking Up is to interest young adults in supply chain careers.

AMTA worked closely with Bison Transport to deliver a first-rate day that featured several talks from Bison staff, including in-teresting presentations by senior company executives and managers through to dispatchers, drivers and safety counsellors.

The day kicked off with participants arriving by bus at Bison’s Calgary facility

of mud that coated the rocky base and made it as slippery as if it were covered in a lay-er of wet moss.

Despite these unpre-dictable and constantly shifting conditions, the crews were able to count on the consistency, per-formance and grip of their Michelin Latitude Cross S3 tires. Sébastien Ogier (winner, Volkswagen Motorsport) said, “There really wasn’t much grip on the stages, and the little grip that was avail-able was inconsistent.

where they were greeted by AMTA and Bison represen-tatives and welcomed to the company’s training class-room.

They then received sev-eral presentations about topics that included a look at the vital role the truck-ing industry plays in the economy and about sus-tainability in trucking (and at Bison).

Next up, AMTA Road Knight Reg Moulding (Bi-son Transport) provided an overview of the wide range of careers available

The first passes proved very delicate because of all the slippery mud on the driving line. You just had to choose a line and stay on it if you wanted to post a competitive time. The second passes were even more of a challenge. After the cars had been through once, the hard-packed roads became in-credibly slippery in places where the stony base was now covered in a film of packed dirt. Thankfully, our Michelin tires were perfectly suited to the situation and delivered the necessary grip and responsiveness to permit some fast times and I was always able to push that little bit harder whenever I wanted to. This year’s Wales Rally GB was all about knowing where to

in trucking both behind the wheel and behind the scenes. Moulding was fol-lowed by a Bison dispatch supervisor who spoke about his career path and job at Bob.

After lunch the group re-ceived a guided facility tour and wrapped up the day with time behind the wheel of a truck driving simulator.

“I like that the par-ticipants were exposed to different professions sur-rounding the industry, and that they were able to actu-ally touch a truck and prac-tice driving one. There are a few participants who are interested in trucking, and left the visit inspired,” said Kathryn Semcow, Link-ing Up Project Consultant, with the Van Horne Insti-tute. b

lift just enough not to go off the road for good.”

The world champion’s words were echoed by those of Jacques Morelli, Manager of Michelin’s rally programs, who said, “I would obviously like to congratulate Sébastien Ogier on his brilliant per-formance which brings an exceptional season for him and our partner Volk-swagen Motorsport to a successful end. I would also like to underline the job done by the Michelin Latitude Cross S3 tire and how well it stood up to the punishment that this year’s Wales Rally GB threw at it. Add water and mud to the

stone- and slate-covered stages and you get a partic-ularly aggressive mix, and it was important to protect against the risk of sharp rocks slashing the tires. At the end of the day, though, our partners didn’t suffer any punctures whatsoever. I believe that speaks vol-umes for the hard work put in by Michelin’s developers ahead of the 2013 season. The regulations for this year were very demanding because of the lower tire quotas per event, yet all our solutions rose to their mission to provide our part-ners with an exceptionally high level of overall perfor-mance.” b
