The owners of the Atlantic Truck Show, the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association (APTA) are happy to report that the 15th edition of the event ex-ceeded all of their ex-pectations in terms of exhibitors, content and visitor attendance.

12,250 visitors streamed through the gates during the two-day event and they did not leave disappoint-ed. This is up from at-tendance in 2011 and show management is extremely pleased with the results of this event.

Attendees were in awe of the gleaming displays of big rigs and industry related products and ser-vices that encompassed the entire Moncton Coli-seum Complex and park-ing lot.

The recruitment drive was a huge hit with visi-tors and company repre-sentatives were pleased with the enthusiasm job

seekers displayed about the industry.

Exhibitors were ex-tremely pleased with the high quality traffic and reported solid sales activity and many leads to follow up on in the coming months.

“The show absolutely was a success for us. We booked 6 additional loads and are sure we will recruit at least 4-5 more drivers for East Coast work, not to men-tion we strengthened our truck/trailer delivery position with our exist-ing customers. We’re very happy with the out-come,” said Wendi L. Keller with the Drive Star Group of Companies.

Brian Donovan of Permanon Canada Lim-ited echoed these sen-timents. “Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we were with the quality of the decision makers who visited our booth this year at the Atlantic

Truck Show. We will be back in 2015.”

The leaders of the in-dustry were well repre-sented with impressive displays featuring the latest trucks and truck-ing related products on the market today. Manufacturers have raised the bar when it comes to fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly products as well as the launch of newer engines and hy-brid technology which was showcased at the Atlantic Truck Show. The new Ride and Drive was well received with many buyers enjoying the fact they could drive the latest big rigs and compare, in one place at one time.

The APTA breakfast was well attended, as was the charity lobster dinner and silent auction with nearly 500 attend-ees! Proceeds from that event benefit the juve-nile diabetes research.

We now look towards 2015 and our next edi-tion of the Atlantic Truck Show and wish all of our visitors and exhibitors continued success until then. b

Attendance Up For The Atlantic Truck Show

PACCAR Parts celebrat-ed its 40th anniversary on May 1, marking four de-cades of global leadership in commercial vehicle parts and service.

In 1973, PACCAR Parts opened its first Parts Dis-tribution Center (PDC) in Renton, Washington. Today, PACCAR Parts’ worldwide network spans 15 PDCs on five continents and champions new tech-nologies in parts distribu-tion.

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

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

vision grew, its focus on technology continued, in-cluding an advanced elec-tronic catalog system and groundbreaking inventory-management systems. The exclusive TRP line of all-makes aftermarket parts was launched in Europe, and has become a world-wide brand.

“The global growth achieved by PACCAR Parts in its first 40 years is a sig-nificant accomplishment,” said Dan Sobic, PACCAR Executive Vice President. “This foundation of lead-ership and innovation sets the stage for further world-wide growth over the next 40 years.”

This focus on leading-edge products and services brings PACCAR Parts cus-tomers world-class sup-port as well. PACCAR Parts Fleet Services supports fleet customers in North America and Europe. CON-NECT online maintenance

and inventory software en-ables control over parts in-ventory and service sched-uling for customers and repair shops.

“Technology has always been at the centre of PAC-CAR Parts’ success and excellent reputation with customers,” Siver said. “Systems such as Managed Dealer Inventory, as well as distribution technology such as voice-activated or-der picking, have stream-lined supply-chain op-erations and created value for customers around the world.”

As PACCAR Parts cel-ebrates its 40th year, the division looks forward to continued growth and suc-cess, recently opening a new world-class, state-of-the-art PDC in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. “It takes clear, well-defined, strate-gic goals to set the direction for the continued growth of PACCAR Parts,” Siver said. “Our achievements and results are made pos-sible by the hard work and ingenuity of all PACCAR Parts employees. Together, we will continue to set new records.” b

PACCAR Parts To Celebrate Its 40th Anniversary In 2013

SpriderMaskiner AB, a company which develops special asphalt spread-ers for smaller surface areas, specifies Allison transmissions, not only for their performance and durability, but also to ensure vehicle ap-peal. The most recent delivery by the Swedish family-owned company was a Volvo FE 340 6x2 equipped with the Al-lison 3000 Series fully-automatic transmission.

The unique design of the flexible, truck-mounted Sprider system eliminates the daunt-ing work of manually spreading asphalt in places where larger ma-chines struggle to ma-noeuvre. The design consists of a remote-controlled, jointed hy-draulic transport arm, which is mounted at the back of the truck to move asphalt forward with a worm-screw. The arm has a maxi-mum length of five me-ters and can cover a 48 m. sq. surface without moving the truck for-

ward, thereby eliminat-ing the need for labo-rious work requiring a shovel or wheelbarrow.

“Since the company started, we have deliv-ered over 400 Sprider systems to customers in many European coun-tries. Most of them have been installed on cus-tomers’ existing trucks, but we can also deliver completely new trucks. We buy the chassis and asphalt loading plat-forms from truck man-ufacturers and body builders, then equip them with our Sprider system,” says Tommy Sjögren, Managing Di-rector and part owner of SpriderMaskiner AB.

SpriderMaskiner AB produces a few trucks each year, which are kept as spare stock to en-sure constant availabil-ity; however, this poses a potential economic risk for the company.

“So far, our strat-egy has worked well, but we do take steps to make the trucks as at-tractive as possible to

potential customers as a way of reducing the risk of spare trucks go-ing unsold. That is why we equip trucks with Allison fully-automatic transmissions. This has proven to make them significantly more at-tractive,” Sjögren con-tinued. “Recently we delivered a complete truck to Swea Asfalt i Väst AB. It was a Volvo FE 340 6x2 equipped with an Allison 3000 Se-ries transmission.”

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

“At least 90 percent of the time, I drive in Gothenburg’s heavy city traffic. I think the trans-mission works perfectly under these erratic con-ditions, and I wouldn’t want to have anything else. The truck has good driving characteristics thanks to the torque converter, which pro-vides prompt vehicle re-sponse. It’s easy to ma-noeuvre in city traffic and on narrow routes like bicycle paths, parks and pavements, where we often work,” said Hedin. b

NEXT DEADLINE: Friday, July 12th, 2013

Most every driver has been tempted to con-

sider owning their own rig (no matter how fleetingly). When 8-12% of all drivers are operators, the remain-ing 88-92% naturally com-pare. Some comparisons last only a few seconds, while others roll it around in mind for decades. Most (obviously) don’t take the plunge. They stay the course and safely huddle in their fortified trucking careers (not that they may not venture out in things non-trucking related).

Seeing that about 10% accept the challenge, it’s a worthy objective to pres-ent a road map for those whose thoughts entertain rolling ideas. Society con-sists of many different types of personalities and abilities. There will always be those who engage them-selves in entrepreneurial thoughts. Their minds are seldom satisfied with the status quo, no matter how pleasant and produc-tive it is for them. They are not necessarily enticed by money and power, but usually the challenge itself. It’s the challenge to create their own destiny and build

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

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

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

grams”). The terminologies have also become some-what interchangeable. The reason I define them differ-ently is because the opera-tor industry has two very different business model contracts available to driv-ers.

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

A lease operator’s first concern is miles, miles, miles! Their next concern is the efficiency of their personal cost per mile because their revenue is a fixed rate (such as the word “lease” implies). Their profit is (should be) completely dependent on their operating efficiency and not market fluctua-tion. If market freight rates go up (or down) their rev-enue doesn’t change. If the market price for fuel goes up (or down) their net fuel expense shouldn’t go up

Spec’ing Your Taxes — with Robert D. Scheper

From Driver To Lease Operator To Owner Operator To Trucking Company

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

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

The mindset of the owner operator is revenue per mile (over time). If you have an opportunity to pick up a backhaul load for $5.50 per mile but have to wait 10 weeks for it… it doesn’t pay to stick around. But waiting for two days for an extra $1000 is often times worth it.

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

For some, making the leap from a driver to a lease operator may not be as “risky” as leaping from a driver to an owner operator (the market ex-posures add complexity, requiring market freight knowledge such as lanes/rates/loops as well as oth-er factors). The trust level toward the trucking com-pany also rises exponen-tially. If you don’t pos-sess the added skill set, the learning curve may be too long to financially weather.

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

invoice your bill, YOU have your own customs concerns, YOU deposit your own check and YOU pay your own fuel cards. The leap is almost entirely administrative. You may have to market and pres-ent yourself directly to the customer, but the entire trucking industry is built on reputation not butt-kissing. For the serious business minds there is a much higher requirement for action than words.

Building a career into a business, into a venture into a dynasty is the story of all free markets. Run-ning down the road today, maybe in the lane beside you is the next generation’s industry leader. Maybe it’s you! Nobody knows that for sure… except maybe you! b

School District 73 (Ka-mloops/Thompson) and the BC Trucking Associa-tion (BCTA) recently an-nounced they will partner to develop and deliver a Professional Driver Train-ing Program through Nor-Kam Secondary School’s new Trades Centre of Ex-cellence, with enrolment of students in Grade 10 tar-geted for September 2014.

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

“Thanks to the vision

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

Louise Yako, President & CEO, BCTA, says that this partnership couldn’t have come at a better time for the trucking indus-try. “Trucking companies across Canada are facing a shortage of from 25,000 to 30,000 professional drivers by 2020, largely due to re-tirements in the industry. BCTA has been aware of the shortage for some time, but the challenge was to

find a way to engage youth and promote their interest and entry in the industry. We’re extremely excited to be taking part in this pro-gram.”

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

“Increased opportuni-ties for all types of trades training are important for BC students,” says How-ard. “By offering high-

school level Professional Truck Driver Training at the Trades Centre of Excel-lence, we’re making train-ing more accessible and affordable for those who want a career in trucking. We’re also meeting the needs of BC’s industry at the same time. It’s a terrific opportunity for both.”

A Steering Committee consisting of representa-tives from School District 73, BCTA, Thompson Rivers University, and the Asia Pacific Gateway Skills Table will oversee development of the pro-gram, with delivery of the Grade 10 curriculum for approval by January 2014 and implementation in September 2014. Curricu-lum for Grades 11 and 12 would follow in 2015. The Steering Committee will be supported by two sub-com-mittees made up of truck-ing industry employers and subject matter experts. b

BCTA Partners To Offer Training To Youth Interested In Professional Driving Careers


It’s July – sunny, warm, the birds are singing.

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

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

As a professional driv-er, there are a number of things that you can do that will ensure your safety and the safety of everyone else on the road this summer. Let’s start with those mo-torcyclists.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Motorcycles are signifi-cantly smaller than your vehicle is, and smaller than regular passenger vehicles as well. Often times, in two-vehicle collisions that involve bikes, the motor-ist didn’t even see the bike. Keep your eyes peeled when off the main drags. Many motorcyclists out for a ride favour twisty, hilly roads over flat, straight highways, and these roads will give you even less warning that one is ap-proaching.

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

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

While excessive speed is a factor with motorcy-cles, families towing camp-ers and large motorhomes often create the opposite problem. They are regu-larly seen moving signifi-cantly slower than the flow of traffic.

While you have had for-mal training and testing, and likely plenty of experi-ence pulling a trailer, most of the people pulling large campers down the high-way have not. They may be nervous about towing a trailer, they may not have a sufficiently large vehicle to pull their trailer at high-way speeds or just think

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

Regardless of their rea-son, you may come upon these individuals quickly and with little warning. Keep your eyes peeled in front of you for slow mov-ing objects on the highway. Make sure you are pre-pared to slow in time if you cannot safely manoeuvre around the camper.

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

Watch out beside you, especially when driving amidst campers and mo-torhomes. While being in a large tractor trailer doesn’t exactly let you hide in an-other driver’s blind spot generally, there may be in-dividuals hauling very long camper trailers without de-cent mirrors or knowledge of how to use them.

Last but not least, we have construction. Slow

down. Obey posted limits. There are men and women working on these sites and they want to be safe.

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

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

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

Whether it’s two or 18, truckers sure know their wheels. On Sept. 12th they’ll prove it, at OTA’s inaugural cross-Ontario, Big Wheels Bike & Car ride for mo-torcycle, hot-rod and classic car enthusiasts in the trucking indus-try.

A brand new, inter-active OTA Premiere Events website dedi-cated to the Big Wheels Rally is now live at OTARally.ca and our easy, online registra-tion is open.

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

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

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

“If there’s one thing

truckers know, it’s the open road,” says OTA Chair Jeff Bryan of Jeff Bryan Transport. “This unique OTA event is simply about fun and meeting new people in the industry. Whether you’re an enthusiast rider, driver or just someone who wants to meet up afterwards for a party and to look at some cool bikes, cars and trucks, we look forward to seeing you on Sept. 12th!”

A portion of the proceeds raised at the event will go towards the OTA Education Foundation, a charita-ble institution devoted to the furtherance of education for Ontario post-secondary stu-dents.

“We are greatly pleased that the OTA has chosen our great Foundation to partner with what prom-ises to be a fun, unforget-table event,” says Scott Smith, Foundation Chair-man and President of J. D. Smith and Sons. b

Truck Trailers - Expressway

Minister of state for transport, Steven Fletcher, told a large gathering of carrier members of the Ca-nadian Trucking Alliance that he will recommend the federal government moves to address several issues affecting the indus-try, including improving highway infrastructure, continuing to work on an EOBR policy and reducing the “regulatory burden” on the industry by streamlin-ing rules from province to province.

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

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

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

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

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

“But crossing the bor-der is just part of the jour-ney. You also need good roads to get the goods there,” said Fletcher, add-ing that the CTA’s infra-structure wish list has been invaluable in help-ing the government priori-tize projects.

He added that he and Transport Minister Denis

Lebel are meeting with trucking industry stake-holders to guide develop-ment of a future long-term strategy under the Build-ing Canada Plan.

Fletcher said that Transport Canada is working with the prov-inces and territories on Safety Rating Reciprocity and to establish National Safety Code standards. Based on the meetings with trucking associations across the country, he un-derstands the importance of such issues as roll sta-bility control, indemnifi-cation clauses in freight contracts, and EOBR leg-islation.

In response to a ques-tion of whether he will in-clude a recommendation to adopt an EOBR mandate, Fletcher fell short of mak-ing a commitment, indicat-ing there are still issues to be ironed out. However, he said “it seems like a no brainer” as a way to im-prove highway safety and level the competitive play-ing field.

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

Detroit Diesel Corpora-tion recently announced that its Virtual Technician onboard diagnostic system was named a Silver Award winner in the Applied Technologies/Smart Sys-tems category at the Edison Awards.

Established in 1987 and named after Thomas Alva Edison, the Edi-son Awards are among the most prestigious ac-colades honouring ex-cellence in product and service development, hu-man-centered design and innovation. Evaluated by a panel of 3,000 judges, award winners represent game-changing products, services and excellence.

Developed in collabora-tion with Zonar and avail-

able for Freightliner and Western Star trucks with an EPA 2010 and later De-troit engines, the propri-etary Virtual Technician technology helps reduce downtime and decrease maintenance costs by pro-viding a technical snapshot of the engine’s status as soon as the Check Engine light comes on. The Detroit Customer Support Centre then relays the information to the provided contact to determine the exact issue, recommended service, how soon the engine needs to be serviced, and sup-ply the closest authorized Detroit service location. Trained technicians are then alerted in advance of the customer’s arrival, so they can quickly line up the

parts, arrange for service and repair the problem.

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

Virtual Technician is part of the Detroit brand family, which includes De-troit DT12 automated man-ual transmission, Detroit Axles, four different dis-placement Detroit engines and Detroit Visibility. This is the second award given to Detroit Virtual Techni-cian as in 2012 it received the ATA’s Technology and Maintenance Council’s Best of the Best award. b

Virtual Technician Receives Award

Willie HamelWillie Hamel, vice president of operations of Trimac Transportation’s Canadian operation, was elected president of the Alberta Motor Transport Asso-ciation at the 75th annual management conference in April.

He has been with the Trimac Transportation since May 1992. He be-came the Vice President of Operations in August 2011 and prior to that he was the Vice President of the Eastern Canadian op-erations for seven years. He is fluently bilingual in French and English and managed Trimac’s Quebec operations for two years. Prior to joining Trimac, he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company for 10 years in a senior operations role. Prior to being involved with AMTA, he served on the Board of the Ontario Trucking Association.

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

A passionate advocate for having the occupa-

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

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

A step in the right di-rection will be for Alberta to adopt a new minimum commercial driver training standard, an initiative cur-rently being developed by

AMTA. And, for AMTA to continue support of initia-tives developed by the CTA Blue Ribbon Task Force on the Driver Shortage.

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

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

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

Membership develop-ment and actively engaging existing members is also important to Hamel, who says he would like to see more professional drivers involved with AMTA.

“AMTA is a great orga-nization and I would like to see existing members take full advantage of all the services and benefits AMTA has to offer. “Train-ing programs and regional meetings are a key benefit to industry members and could be more fully uti-lized.”

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

The AMTA Road Knights program is an-other area Hamel recog-

nizes as being an impor-tant tool for advancing the industry. “The pro-gram is just getting kick started here in Alberta and employers need to support this excellent initiative by encourag-ing their top professional drivers to serve as indus-try representatives.”

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

Hamel obtained his undergraduate degree in Commerce and Business Administration from the University of British Co-lumbia and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Cal-gary. b

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, in support of the goals of the 2013 National Tire Safety Week, June 2-8, stresses the importance of proper tire inflation and monitor-ing in safe commercial ve-hicle operation. Bendix, the North American leader in the development and man-ufacture of leading-edge active safety and braking system technologies, offers the SmarTire Tire Pres-sure Monitoring System (TPMS) by Bendix CVS, which monitors pressure and temperature of tractor and trailer tires. SmarT-ire TPMS offers fleets and drivers insight on tires that leads to improved fuel economy, reduced down-time, and improved road-way safety.

Sponsored by the Rub-ber Manufacturers Asso-ciation to raise consumer awareness about tire safety and fuel economy for cars and trucks, the annual Na-tional Tire Safety Week fo-cuses on the simple steps that vehicle operators – from motorists to fleets – can take to ensure their tires are in good working condition.

Tires driven while sig-nificantly underinflated experience increased stress and higher

temperatures, which in-creases the risk of failure. Industry statistics show

that 90 percent of blowouts are caused by under infla-tion.

Tire performance is also factored into CSA (Compli-ance, Safety, Accountabil-ity) scoring, as drivers and fleets can face penalties for improperly inflated or poorly maintained tires.

“Because tire care, infla-tion, and maintenance are crucial to vehicle safety, Bendix has long focused on developing methods for warning fleets and drivers of tire-related problems be-fore they pose a safety haz-ard,” said Jon Intagliata, Product Manager for Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-tems (TPMS) at Bendix.

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

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

temperature that naturally occurs as a tire is in opera-tion. Since our sensors are located inside the pressure vessel, they provide a di-rect temperature measure-ment that allows our sys-tem to automatically adjust alerts to the driver, taking into account this natural increase in pressure. Cold tires at 100 PSI alert differ-ently than warm tires at 120 PSI – the system needs to make this adjustment auto-matically,” Intagliata said. “Tire pressure rises when the temperature increases through travel or external conditions. SmarTire’s ca-pability to calculate the CIP deviation means drivers and fleets can accurately maintain their pressures whether a truck has been parked for some time or has traveled hundreds of miles. The temperature compensation feature also allows the system to pro-vide earlier warnings of a tire problem.”

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

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

Proper tire pressure management also helps fleets address the increas-ing costs of fuel and tires. Tire under inflation by as little as 10 percent results in a 1.5 percent drop in fuel economy, which can increase fuel spending by up to $1,000 per year for a single truck. Under infla-tion by 20 percent results in a 30 percent reduction in tire life.

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

tyDirect from Bendix CVS, a Web portal that allows fleet owners to analyze real-time, wirelessly trans-mitted safety information. As tire pressures, tempera-tures, and alerts are sent to the back office, fleet maintenance teams can plan vehicle service before it even reaches the shop. Fleets and drivers can also conduct tire inspections and maintenance more ef-ficiently since terminal op-erators can tell in advance which tires may need pres-sure adjustment.

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

Producers of the Canada North Resources Expo

are pleased to report that the 2013 edition was a re-sounding success.

Show Management re-ported that the Expo at-tracted 8,321 registered industry visitors over the course of the two day event and they were not left dis-appointed.

Visitors were in awe at the amount of exhibi-tors and equipment be-ing showcased at the CN Centre and grounds that totaled 4 acres of outdoor and indoor exhibits, show-casing the leaders of the flourishing Northern indus-tries.

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

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

“We had a very success-ful Show and your Team was very professional and most helpful in every way. We will be rebooking for 2015,” said Ron Trainor of Western Equipment Lim-ited.

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

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

Executive Director of the Central Interior Logging Association. “The feed-back we have received is all very positive, and we are hearing about millions of dollars of sales being made during the show. From our share of the pro-ceeds, in keeping with our historical traditions, we will be making donations to the Hospice Society, the Railway and Forestry Mu-seum, and Minor Soccer. We were also able to sup-port the Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and the Eagles football team by presenting them with opportunities for fundraising during the show,” said Arcand.

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

“The big story about CNRE is that it blew every-one’s expectations out of the water. So many shows have been marginal lately, and then this one comes, and everything worked out perfectly. It was well organized and managed. Promotion for the show was everywhere and it blanketed the market! It worked and people came. The parking lot was full, and that explains it!” said Rob Stanhope of the Log-ging & Sawmilling Journal.

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

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

Peterbilt Motors Com-pany recently unveiled its all-new Model 320 inte-rior during the Waste Expo show in New Orleans, LA. The new ProBilt interior for Peterbilt’s low-cab forward vehicle features ergonomic improvements, system en-hancements and improved overall visibility for maxi-mum operator efficiency and comfort.

“The Model 320’s new interior delivers unparal-leled fit and finish and pro-vides drivers a comfortable and productive operating environment for outstand-ing performance in this specialty market,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Director of Sales and Mar-keting. “Inside and out, Peterbilt’s Model 320 per-forms the most challenging jobs with uncompromising durability and quality.”Ergonomic, Efficient Design

The Model 320 interior

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

“The new instrumenta-tion panel includes LED backlit gauges that are easy-to-read and are eas-ily visible through the new steering wheel, along with the new Driver In-formation Display that provides critical vehicle data, as well as rocker switches that are within easy reach,” said Landon Sproull, Peterbilt Chief Engineer. “All of these new features help to en-sure that the driver is op-erating at peak efficiency and productivity.”

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

ponents. An improved HVAC system maintains reliable performance and consistent heating and cooling throughout the cab. The new header in-cludes overhead HVAC controls and toggle switches for body devices and the ConcertClass au-dio system.

The cab’s B-pillar has been re-designed to in-clude cab corner windows for increased visibility. A lowered dash brow and a large, retractable sunshade that spreads the length of the front windshield also contributes to improved overall visibility.

The new interior in-cludes a large, multi-purpose centre console. Removable panels allow for easy installation and convenient access to body controls. Storage space is abundant, with multiple large storage compart-ments, a space designed

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

“The interior is sym-metrically designed to make sure the driver en-joys the same convenient comforts whether the cab is a left hand or right hand drive configuration,” said Sproull.

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

Safety and comfort were key considerations in the new pedal position pack-age.

“Our engineers con-sulted with numerous customers during the de-sign process to get their input regarding the pedal placement and space be-tween the throttle and the brakes,” said Sproull. “This resulted in an optimized pedal layout that provides a more comfortable driving

position.”Additional features include: • • Padded headliner for

improved thermal and acoustic performance;

• 4-speaker audio system;• Vertical-parked wind-

shield wipers;• Header and over-door

storage capacity;• Padded door panels with

power controls for win-dows and mirrors;

• Tilt/telescoping steering wheel;

• Multi-function turn-stalk;

• Heated seats;• Available in left-hand

and right-hand drive configurations.The ProBilt interior is

available in Titanium Gray.Model 320 Features & Benefits

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

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

A 90-degree door open-ing with multiple grab han-dles and an impact-resis-tant, bolt-on step provides easy entry and exit. The exclusive use of taper leaf front springs provides an increasingly smooth ride. An impressive 44-degree wheel cut allows drivers to easily maneuver in congest-ed urban environments. The Model 320 offers a full range of axle selections in single, tandem or tri-drive configurations, plus a full complement of liftable axle options and a tandem steer front axle configuration rated at 36,000 lbs.

In addition, the Model 320 is available in Com-pressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) with the Cummins Westport ISL G and ISX 12 G Engines. Both configura-tions provide flexibility to locate the fuel tanks either off the frame rail or inte-grated with the body. b

Peterbilt Unveils New Interior For Model 320

Prince Edward Islanders are being asked to pledge to leave their phones alone while driving, says Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Minister Robert Vessey.

“It only takes a split second looking away from the road for a collision to occur,” said the minister. “Using a cell phone while driving is against the law.

Encouraging drivers to take a 60-day pledge will help them develop life-long hab-its that will extend well be-yond the campaign.”

The campaign is be-ing jointly presented by the Department of Trans-portation and Infrastruc-ture Renewal and the Hot 105.5 FM. Islanders can sign up to commit to

leaving their phone alone while driving at www.hot1055fm.com.

Drivers caught using a hand-held device face penalties of up to $400 and three demerit points.

“Research has shown that driving while using hand-held communication devices puts everyone at a higher risk of motor vehicle collisions,” said the minister. “Safety is a top priority for this depart-ment and this campaign is a great way to raise awareness on the dangers of distracted driving.” b

NITRIDED CYLINDERSMailhot 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.

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.

As the North American leader in the development and manufacturer of lead-ing-edge active safety and braking system technolo-gies, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC sup-ports the annual Commer-cial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Roadcheck

program, which this year took place June 4-6. Sharing the CVSA’s com-mitment to safer vehicles and roadways, Bendix stresses that highway safety begins well before any vehicle hits the road through proper mainte-nance, regular inspection, the use of genuine replace-ment parts, and technician training.

Roadcheck – the larg-est targeted commercial vehicle roadside inspection program in the world – was founded in 1988 with the goal to improve safety on North America’s roadways. According to CVSA, dur-ing the Roadcheck 72-hour inspection period in 2012, approximately 9,500 CV-SA-certified inspectors at 2,500 locations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico per-

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

Since Roadcheck’s in-ception, more than 1.2 million vehicles have been inspected, and CVSA esti-mates that more than 220 lives have been saved and 4,000 injuries prevented.

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

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

obvious problems such as loose hoses and leaks.

“The CVSA has noted that brakes have been cit-ed as an associated factor in more than 29 percent of commercial motor ve-hicle crashes, so the im-portance of paying careful attention to brakes during these inspections cannot be overstated,” said Gary Ga-naway, Director of Market-ing and Global Customer Solutions for Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake (BSFB).

BSFB is a joint venture of Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Dana CommercialVehicle Products, LLC.

During foundation drum brake service, fleets should check for lining wear and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding ad-justment of slack adjust-ers. Adjustments will differ depending on the manu-facturer. Air disc brakes re-quire less maintenance, as most are sealed for life. The primary inspection concern for air disc brakes is pad wear.

“Helping to keep com-mercial vehicles on the

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

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

nicians can also reach Bendix’s ASE-certified Ser-vice, Warranty, and Train-ing (SWAT) team experts through 1-800-AIR-BRAKE.

In addition, Bendix strongly recommends that fleets and techni-cians maintain vehicles using original replace-ment parts for best per-formance and compli-ance results.

“Brakes, like other commercial vehicle com-ponents, always function at their best when re-placement parts are held to the specific standards engineered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),” Ganaway said. “Performance issues and other problems often occur when non-OEM parts are introduced into a system.” Particularly in the case

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

The ever-growing port-folio of Bendix technology developments delivers on safety, plus other areas crit-ical to fleets’ success. By improving vehicle perfor-mance and efficiency while providing unparalleled technical support, Bendix strengthens its customers’ return on investment in the advanced equipment and technology that leads to safer roadways for every-one. b

Bendix Supports Efforts Of CVSA Roadcheck To Improve Highway Safety

Prime, Inc. recently received the Trailblazer Award for the Driver Health and Fitness Pro-gram at the 5th Annual Healthy Trucking Summit sponsored by the Healthy Trucking Association of America (HTAA) in At-lanta, GA.

During the event, held April 30-May 2, Prime Driv-er Melissa Fort was named the Female Healthy Truck-er of the Year. The creator

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

Presenting the Trail-blazer Award, Dr. Karen Heaton of the UAB Medi-cal Centre, recognized Prime for their “compre-hensive approach to the management of metabolic syndrome.”

Accepting the award on behalf of Prime was

Driver Health and Fitness Coach, Siphiwe Baleka. “Prime is a great place to work,” said Baleka. “They have every possible driver amenity you can think of. More than 130 drivers have enrolled in the pro-gram and since its incep-tion, more than 600 driv-ers have lost over 6,000 lbs. and 90 drivers have quit smoking.”

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

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