Cargo thieves are be-coming more “strategic” about how they target car-go loads and transportation companies, according to insurance experts.

A range of new cargo theft tactics are being de-ployed to help thieves take better “control” and thus mitigate the risks of the crimes they are trying to commit, Sam Rizzitelli, Na-tional Director for Trans-portation at Travelers In-land Marine division, told Fleet Owner magazine.

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

tious pickups and misdirect-ed loads/fraudulent carriers.

“They are trying to ad-just their methods to de-velop better ways to get away with cargo,” Cornell noted. Rather than com-mit “straight theft,” where loads are physically sto-len from parking lots or terminals – and risking getting spotted and/or po-tentially be involved in a high speed chase – he said cargo thieves are trying to be more “strategic” about thefts so they can better pinpoint and steal specific types of cargo.

These strategic kinds of thefts are a result of more technology with greater ac-cess to information within the transportation indus-try and the involvement

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

Data tracked by Freight-Watch International indi-cates that the actual vol-ume of loads stolen in the U.S. during the second quarter this year declined, while the overall value of those loads increased, states the article.

To successfully com-bat such scams, Rizzitelli stressed that crafting the “right relationships” be-tween carriers, shippers, and third party logistics providers is more critical than ever. “By that I mean, are carriers and shippers developing shared proto-cols around pickup proce-dures?” he explained. “Are there verifications in place to confirm the identity of specific drivers? Do ship-pers have procedures to verify the carriers that will be hauling highly targeted high value goods are who they say they are?” b

Cargo Thefts Becoming More ‘Strategic’

Daseke Inc., a fam-ily of premier flatbed and specialized carri-ers, continues to grow with the addition of Redmond, Ore.-based Central Oregon Truck Company.

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

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

According to Rick Wil-liams, one of the found-

ers and CEO of Central Oregon Truck Company, the decision to join Das-eke brings added mo-mentum to a company already on the move. “We’ve been in business since 1992 and have had great success – we’re creative, very organized and want to grow,” Wil-liams said. “We’ll contin-ue with our culture and principles and with the very same management team and drivers we have in place. By joining Daseke, we have added substantial financial backing for growth and now have a peer group of other Daseke companies to help realize best prac-tices and develop busi-ness strategies. Being a Daseke company allows us to continue to fulfill our vision and achieve our goals quicker and easier, while enhancing our service to our driver teams and our shipper partners.”

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

loads with customers throughout the lower 48 states and in Canada.

“As former drivers, we know the importance of the person behind the wheel – safe drivers are the key to our organiza-tion and our customer service,” said Williams. “We run Kenworth trucks that average less than 2.2 years in age, versus the industry aver-age of 6-plus years. The trucks are all equipped with the latest in safety options, including lane departure warning sys-tems, and anti-rollover systems. Safety is prior-ity one, and our safety ratings and CSA scores prove that.”

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

“They truly offer the en-tire package,” said Daseke. “We’re looking forward to offering the tools in capital, and peer group roundta-bles, which will help them grow even further. It’s an exciting relationship for both parties.” b

For those who have been watching the industry

turnover trends, I assume you are as baffled as I am that the industry can actually SUR-VIVE with annual turnover numbers such as 70, 80, or 95+%. That means the aver-age trucking company hires almost one new driver for ev-ery driver employed.

Obviously not every driver switches every year. A certain percentage of drivers will stay for one or many years. Numeri-cally, this means many of the “new hires” don’t stay the entire year. If 50% of all the drivers are there the whole year that means the other 50% would have to stay no longer than 6 months. If 80% of the driv-ers stay the whole year that means 20% of the drivers can’t stay longer than 2.4 months. The alternatives are infinite but the con-clusion is the same. 100% turnover means paper-work, paperwork, paper-work… expenses, expens-es, expenses.

Then the question is: how did they leave? Did they leave on good terms with a two week notice, truck parked nicely against the fence, undamaged, load delivered, and paper-work completed? The high-er the turnover rate, the less chances professional courtesy was extended. These numbers cost truck-ing companies money! The costs are born by the company and the drop in potential profits mean less potential benefits for those who stay. Turnover is ev-eryone’s business.

But turnover is all a part of supply and demand, an integral part of the free market system. With-out turnover the industry would treat drivers like they did in 2009. Those companies who pillaged drivers in the great reces-sion and who openly en-dorsed their behavior with “these are industry stan-dards” now reap what they previously sowed. Even those who were fair to driv-ers in 2009 may not be im-mune from turnover today. The free market is much

like hauling hanging meat or a half filled, un-baffled tanker, the push/pull from sloshing can affect even the most seasoned veteran. It’s not just gentleness of clutch and brake but per-ceived fairness that reduces sloshing.

The Pareto Principle (aka 80/20 rule) states that for many events roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Joseph Juran named it after Vilfredo Pareto, after Pa-reto found that 80% of the peas from his garden came from 20% of the pods. This infers that 80% of all the driver turnover problems come from 20% of the driv-ers, or 20% of all the com-panies, depending on how you focus your research. Logically it infers that to re-duce turnover would mean that correction/attention must be made to at least 20% of the companies (or drivers).

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

Think how different-ly the trucking industry would look if the bottom 20% went bankrupt.

Turnover is the free market’s answer to accom-plish this end, but there are two major flaws. First, nei-ther drivers nor companies are willing to admit they belong to the bottom 20%. Second, each move needs to be based on an educat-ed decision. Good drivers leave bad companies and bad drivers are released from good companies so they can only work for bad companies.

However, the “bad driv-ers” are constantly trying to drive for better com-panies than they deserve and “bad companies” are

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

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

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

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

The more educated each move is, the better the en-tire industry will be. b

Ever wonder why some folks have more pas-

sion for the job than you can seem to muster up on a daily basis? They’re haul-ing vans up and down the same highway as you but they seem to enjoy it a whole lot more.

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

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

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

There are plenty of rea-sons you might not like your job behind the wheel of the truck, but a few changes to the way you perceive your job and par-ticipate within your com-pany or the industry can leave you smiling and en-joying manoeuvering that big rig around the city.

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

You can do the same thing in your company. Many firms have commit-tees or groups who are dedicated to causes such as safety and continuing edu-cation, or drivers who par-ticipate in rallies and char-ity events. Join in and get involved. All those ideas you come up with while rolling down the highway for hours on end can finally be put to good use.

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

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

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

If you have kept every-one informed, you are go-ing to feel more in control

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Learning new skills keeps life from getting dull and it shows your employ-er that you are ambitious. If you decide to change em-ployers in the future you will be ahead of the game with all of the extra qualifi-cations on your resume.

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

Don’t forget to real-ize what a difference you make in the world. You are significant and so is what you haul. Society needs it. They need you. b

Maximize PayloadDana Holding Corpo-

ration (NYSE: DAN) re-cently announced that TMC Transportation, the largest privately held flat-bed carrier in the United States, has specified Spic-er Pro-40 tandem axles on the company’s order of 1,500 Peterbilt 579 on-highway trucks.

Following a standard replacement schedule, TMC Transportation will purchase 1,500 new trac-tors over the next two years. The Spicer Pro-40 family of heavy-duty 40,000-pound tandem drive axles supplies a re-liable, lightweight option for line haul, bulk, region-al, and city delivery fleets. It offers a dramatic weight reduction and improved power density, enabling customers to increase payload, improve fuel economy, and ultimately improve their bottom line. The axle is nearly 100 pounds lighter than the nearest competitive axle, with a new high-strength-steel thin-wall housing on select applications.

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

major weight savings to our trucks, which matters most to us,” said Rod Si-mon, Executive Vice Pres-ident of Maintenance at TMC Transportation. “As a highly data-driven com-pany, we’re not just look-ing at performance; we evaluate cost-to-weight ratios and resale values of our equipment.”

TMC Transportation has a successful, long-standing history with Dana products, having continually purchased PACCAR trucks with Spicer drive axles, steer axles, driveshafts, and steering shafts, as well as Bendix foundation brakes as standard equipment on PACCAR’s Peterbilt and Kenworth class 6, 7 and 8 commercial vehicles. Ben-dix foundation brakes are provided by Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake, a joint venture between Dana and Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC.

“We have a great track record with Spicer drive axles and front-end systems from Dana,” Si-mon said. “From a dura-bility standpoint, they’ve held up extremely well since they’re built with longevity in mind.”

The company has also

specified SPL 250 drive-shafts and SPL 170 inter-axle shafts and LMS hubs on their trucks for the past ten years, which have sig-nificantly reduced main-tenance. TMC Transpor-tation is also road-testing Dana’s new all-aluminum Spicer Diamond Series driveshaft.

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

“We designed the Spicer Pro-40 axle for astute fleet owners who fully appreciate how the weight savings we pro-vide will reduce their fuel costs without sacrificing performance and reliabil-ity,” said Pat D’Eramo, President of Dana Com-mercial Vehicle Drive-line Technologies. “TMC Transportation is one of the top carriers in North America, and their com-mitment to the Spicer Pro-40 axle provides strong validation for our approach.”

Spicer Pro-40 Light-Weight Tandem Axle Selected By TMC


Ford is proving that pickups can be green and tough by adding rice hulls to the list of sustainable materials used to build F-150 – America’s best-sell-ing truck.

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

“The 2014 F-Series ex-emplifies our continued efforts to use recycled con-tent in our vehicles,” said John Viera, Ford Global Director of Sustainability and Vehicle Environmen-tal Matters. “We can have greater impact in this case because of the size and sales volume of this prod-uct.”

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

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

“We developed this resin specifically for Ford over the last three years, working with the automak-er closely, including in all phases of material qualifi-cation,” said David Pres-ton, Director of Business Development for RheTech. “The whole process has been a rewarding success for both Ford and RheTech, which can add yet another natural-fiber based product to our RheVision line.”

Rice hull-reinforced plastic is the most recent example of Ford research-ers and engineers us-ing sustainable material whenever possible in the F-Series – without com-promising toughness and durability. F-Series trucks already feature:• Recycled cotton: Used

as carpet insulation and a sound absorber; ev-ery 2014 F-150 contains

enough recycled cotton to make the equivalent of 10 pairs of jeans;

• Soybeans: Used to make seat cushions, seat backs and head restraints;

• Recycled carpet: Some F-150 trucks have cyl-inder head covers made with EcoLon, a nylon resin produced from 100 percent post-consumer recycled carpet;

• Recycled tires: A ther-moplastic material made from recycled tires and post-consumer recycled polypropylene is used to make shields and some underbody covers on F-150;

• Recycled plastic soda pop and water bottles: A lightweight fiber de-rived from recycled plas-tic soda pop and water bottles is used to con-struct F-150 wheel liners and shields. The parts are significantly lighter than traditional injection molded parts and lead to

a quieter ride. Select F-Series trucks feature fab-ric made from recycled fiber;

• Recycled post-industal plastics: Used in interior finish panels, including around radio and climate controls. Researchers in Dear-

born are constantly search-ing for the next sustainable material that can feasibly be used in Ford vehicles. Finding a source of mate-rial is only the beginning of the process, however, because before making it

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

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

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

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

Freightliner Trucks re-cently announced that its Freightliner Cascadia natural gas-powered trac-tors will be available with a 48-inch sleeper cab. The natural gas-powered Cas-cadia will also be available with factory-installed Com-pressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tanks.

Equipped with the new Cummins West-port ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine (with ratings up to 400hp and 1,450 lb-ft torque), the Cascadia natural gas tractor will feature a va-riety of fuel tank configu-rations, up to 190 Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE) capacity for CNG, and up to 300 gallon (140 DGE) capacity LNG, with an anticipated fill-range of more than 800 miles. Having factory-installed fuel tanks gives custom-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Freightliner Cascadia Sleeper Now Available With Natural Gas Technology

Truck operators and fleets using the NORPASS weigh station screening service in seven states and two provinces can soon add mobile-based weigh sta-tion bypass opportunities in 15 more states following the recent announcement of a partnership reached between Drivewyze and NORPASS.

The partnership be-tween Drivewyze, the lead-ing mobile-based inspec-tion site bypass service, and NORPASS, the North American Preclearance and Safety System, also includes a special offer for NORPASS users who sign up for the Drivewyze Pre-Clear weigh station bypass service.

Any NORPASS user can sign up and receive 60 days of free Drivewyze PreClear bypass, plus an additional 50 percent discount for the next two months. The Drivewyze PreClear regular price starts at $7.99 per ve-hicle per month for a single state and $12.99 per ve-hicle per month for multi-state plans.

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

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

Drivewyze PreClear com-plements the NORPASS service, which is avail-able in seven states, along with British Columbia and Quebec. The Drivewyze PreClear and NORPASS combination extends the number of potential inspec-tion site bypasses a trucker may receive on any given trip.

Drivewyze CEO Brian Heath said he’s delighted to partner with NORPASS.

“The NORPASS mem-bership already knows the enormous ROI benefits of bypass,” Heath said. “It is estimated fleets save around $9 with every by-pass opportunity. This partnership allows NOR-PASS members to enjoy bypass in even more states as well as a special, intro-ductory discount.”

Drivewyze PreClear adds transponder-like functionality to mobile tablets and smartphones. Drivewyze provides truck operators and local and long-haul carriers with bypass opportunities at both fixed stations and roadside mobile inspec-tion sites. Drivewyze Pre-Clear offers simple visual and audible instructions for drivers to either by-pass weigh stations and inspection sites, or to safely pull-in. It is both safe and easy to use, with assured privacy and data protection, meeting both federal and state distract-ed driving laws.

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

“Mobile-based bypass is enormously conve-nient—whether drivers are using in-cab tablets or smartphones,” Rau said. “Drivewyze PreClear will extend the number of by-pass opportunities NOR-PASS members may enjoy. This helps our members save even more money on fuel and other expenses related to pull-ins--not to mention saving drivers’ time.”

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

NORPASS serves mem-bers in Alaska, Connecti-cut, Idaho, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, British Co-lumbia and Quebec. b

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

The eco-friendly as-pects of F-Series extend to the powertrain. The available 3.5-liter Eco-Boost engine combines technologies typically as-sociated with heavy-duty truck diesel engines – tur-bocharging and direct fuel

injection – in a gasoline engine. The engine deliv-ers fuel economy gains of up to 20 percent, while re-ducing CO2 emissions by up to 15 percent.

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

As the largest global pro-vider of commercial duty, fully-automatic transmis-sions, Allison Transmis-sion has recently entered the agricultural market in Argentina. To achieve this goal, Allison has partnered with Grupo PLA, a lead-ing manufacturer of agri-business machinery and components, to build a fu-migation vehicle fitted with a fully-automatic transmis-sion. The MAP II 3250, a self-propelled pulverizer, is highly anticipated as the first of its kind locally. Fit-ted with an Allison 2500 transmission, the prototype was successfully launched and demonstrated at Ex-poagro, an annual event in Buenos Aires that showcas-es the latest developments in agricultural machinery.

The vehicles are be-ing built to handle a wide range of terrain under ex-treme conditions including hard and scorched soils, wet hills and muddy fields. They must also cope with diverse temperatures rang-ing from below zero to more than 40 degrees Cen-tigrade.

Hernan Pietrani, from Grupo PLA’s Product Development explained, “One of the key advan-tages of using an auto-matic transmission in this type of vehicle is that it ensures constant control over the drive wheels. The driver can now focus solely on vehicle accel-eration without worrying about changing gears. The automatic provides us with the ability to keep

the engine speed constant and avoid slowing down to maneuver the vehicle. Maintaining smooth and constant movement keeps noise levels to a minimum and avoids overheating the engine.”

Pietrani went on to con-clude, “When accelerating from a standstill, the en-gine reaches maximum ca-pacity much quicker than a manual transmission vehi-cle. With an automatic the engine is not being over-worked, and the pulveriz-ing pump is constantly in operation at maximum ca-pacity, ensuring that crops are fertilized with the right amount of product and pressure.”

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

Grupo’s One-Of-A-Kind Fumigation Vehicle

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

The North American Fatigue Management Pro-gram provides comprehen-sive web-based informa-tion and education on: • developing plans to re-

duce driver fatigue• health and wellness• dealing with sleep dis-

orders as well as their screening and treatment

• trip scheduling informa-tion and more.“This important pro-

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

lies,” says Don Wilson, Ex-ecutive Director, AMTA. “AMTA has been a strong proponent of the program’s development including hav-ing served on the steering committee and members of AMTA’s regulatory affairs partnership (RAP) were in-volved extensively in the re-search and pilot phase.”

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

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

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

The program focuses on health and wellness, aware-ness, supportive medical and technological devel-opments and will provide several delivery options and learning management tools.

In addition to the learn-ing modules, the website includes an Implementa-tion Manual to guide carri-ers in deploying NAFMP in whole or in part, a Return-on-Investment Calculator to assist in determining the cost/benefit of introducing NAFMP in a carrier opera-tion, the research reports that form the basis of the program, as well as some general introduction and history of the program and its potential. b

Comprehensive Fatigue Mitigation Program Rolls Out


Freightliner Trucks and Saddle Creek Logistics Services have together de-veloped a new Freightliner Cascadia 113-inch BBC day cab with natural gas tech-nology featuring advanced aerodynamics. Saddle Creek has ordered the first 10 of the vehicles, outfitted with a 120 gallon fuel sys-tem. When complete, this will mark the first time a natural gas system will be fully enclosed behind the side and back of cab aero-dynamic fairings.

The Lakeland, Fla.-based third-party logistics company already has more than 100 Freightliner CNG tractors in its fleet of 430 vehicles, making it the largest CNG over the road tractor fleet in operation in the country. The additional 10 tractors will be used for truckload operations in the southeastern United States. The company expects to order 90 additional natural gas trucks once testing is completed later this year.

Powered by the Cum-

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

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

According to DelBo-vo, his Freightliner M2

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

Saddle Creek is com-mitted to environmentally-friendly solutions such as CNG to minimize its car-bon footprint, and support the sustainability efforts of its customers. Because the natural gas infrastructure is limited, Saddle Creek has built its own fueling station at its Lakeland headquar-ters.

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

direction.”The Freightliner Cas-

cadia 113 natural gas day cab offers the same perfor-mance and versatile bene-fits of the popular Cascadia tractor, with the incorpo-ration of cheaper, cleaner burning natural gas fuel. Full start of production on all Cascadia 113 natural gas-powered day cabs be-gan in August 2013.

Freightliner Trucks’ com-mitment to green technolo-gies is part of parent com-pany Daimler AG’s global Shaping Future Transporta-tion initiative. Launched in 2007, the initiative focuses on reducing criteria pollut-ants, carbon dioxide and fuel consumption.

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

complete portfolio of model year 2013 on-highway, vo-cational and medium-duty vehicles as fully compliant with the new GHG14 regu-lations. DTNA was the first North American commer-cial vehicle manufacturer to be certified as GHG14-compliant.

Saddle Creek Teams With Freightliner Trucks To Develop CNG Tractor With Advanced Aerodynamics

Yanmar has become the first manufacturer in the world to be certified for en-gines in the 19~37kW class under the Ordinance on Air Pollution Control (OAPC), the world’s strictest regula-tions on diesel engines. In addition, the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) has added a com-plete list of Yanmar’s certi-fied engines to its website, together with the recogni-tion of Yanmar’s outstand-ing technologies in pursuit of this certification, which is notoriously difficult to achieve in the 19~37kw

range.In recent years, in-

creasing environmental awareness has resulted in tighter worldwide regula-tions on emissions from internal combustion en-gines. With controls on non-road diesel engines under 56kW in effect as of 2013 in Japan, Europe and North America, Yan-mar has acquired certifi-cation for its engines and continues green produc-tion at our Biwa Plant in Japan.

An active promoter of environmental protection,

Switzerland requires diesel engines to comply with the latest emission regulations on construction machin-ery utilized domestically, together with OAPC emis-sion standards. The latter stipulate that the amount of particulate matter of 20 to 300 nanometer in diam-eter emitted shall be under 1×1012 Particles/kWh.

Regulations on particle matter are planned to take effect following the intro-duction of Stage III B Eu-ropean emission standards for diesel engines installed on nonroad vehicles intro-duced from 2013. Yanmar is proud to have been rec-ognized for the cleanliness of its engines and continues its endeavors to provide advanced environmental technologies. b

Yanmar To Be Certified By FOEN


Overweight logging trucks are getting turned back at the Red Rock Scales, and drivers are being told to get rid of some of their load. Trucks have been randomly showing up at Carrier Lum-ber, hoping to get the loader to take some of their logs off, but Carrier officials are say-ing no, due to timber mark and liability issues.

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

They are still working on a province-wide overweight

program, but in the meantime need to address the current situation. Log haulers need to get into compliance, while we work on the best way to deal with overweight loads. And the licensees receiving the wood also need to take responsibility for encouraging overweights by continuing to pay for the weight. If we don’t work on this all together, the measures that will have to be taken will be hard on every-body.

The CILA will be work-ing with CVSE and the li-censes to get a permanent resolution to the over-weight situation, before ticketing, delays and costs get out of hand. Please keep this in mind when talking to drivers, loader-men, etc. We don’t want to see drivers climbing on loads or getting hurt. b

Overweight Log Trucks

The Canadian Truck-ing Alliance in partner-ship with Verisk Crime Analytics Canada - Car-goNet, police agencies and the Ontario Trucking Association is pleased to announce the official launch of Project Mo-mentum -- an initiative to raise awareness of the growing threat of cargo crime in the high risk corridor along Highway 401 from the Ontario-Quebec border to Wind-sor.

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

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

ON where his company is located. “The goal is to educate everyone from car-riers, to the courts, to the public of the scope and seriousness of cargo crime and the impact it and the organized syndicates be-hind it is having not only on the business world but in our communities,” he said. “There is some mo-mentum building,” says Bryan. “Industry has taken the first steps, law enforce-ment is there beside us to help, but so much more needs to be done.” Includ-ing, he says, tougher sen-tencing.

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

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

Preparation work is un-derway on Windsor’s west end for the first phases of the new Detroit River Inter-national Crossing (DRIC) at the Windsor-Detroit border.

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

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

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

vices Agency, on the de-sign of the Canadian plaza and completing negotia-tions with property owners for the remaining lands re-quired for the plaza site.

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

Government officials overseeing the bridge proj-ect indicated construction should begin in either late 2015 or early 2016. It is ex-pected to take four years to complete.

In the meantime, an in-ternational bridge authority of six officials - three each from Canada and the U.S. - must be appointed. They are to establish a public-private partnership corpo-ration that will be respon-sible for funding, building, managing and maintaining the new bridge.

The trucking industry is being patient as prepa-ration and construction of the DRIC bridge slowly gets underway, said OTA’s Ste-phen Laskowski, says.

“The private and public sectors will always define ‘quick’ differently,” he said. “That said, the truck-ing sector is very aware and appreciative that both Ottawa and Queen’s Park continue to make the con-struction of the new bridge a very high priority.” b

Prep Work Begins For DRIC Bridge

AD DEADLINE:

Alliance Truck Parts, a leading provider of replace-ment truck parts, has add-ed Nitrite-free Organic Ad-ditive Technology (OAT) and Nitrited Organic Ad-ditive Technology (NOAT) extended life coolant/antifreeze products to its coolant line. Specially for-mulated for severe-duty applications, these new coolants are designed to further reduce the total cost of ownership for truckers by improving heat transfer and water pump seal life.

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

plains Todd Biggs, Direc-tor of Aftermarket Parts and Service Marketing for Daimler Trucks North America. “When we com-pare our new red extend-ed-life coolants to the pink or traditional green formulations, we are see-ing drivers save approxi-mately $600-$900 per year in coolant and main-tenance costs.”

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

Alliance OAT extended life coolant is the industry

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

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

New Line Lowers Cost To Maintain Vehicle

Tom Tenseth of Bruck-ner Truck Sales of Fort Worth, Texas earned the right to be top bulldog as the winner of the 2013 Mack Trucks Walk the Bulldog competition.

Walk the Bulldog fea-tures Mack sales profes-sionals from across the U.S. competing to de-termine who most effec-tively presents the Mack total value proposition. During the champion-ship, Mack sales pro-fessionals conducted a truck “walkaround,” a hands-on presentation of the MACK Granite model to a customer. Competi-tors were judged on how well they communicated

product features and benefits based on cus-tomer requirements, as well as the service and support solutions offered under the MACK Pedi-gree Uptime Protection program.

“Walk the Bulldog is one way we recog-nize the knowledge and customer focus of Mack sales professionals,” said John Walsh, Mack Vice President of Marketing. “Our dealers and sales teams are first in line to help customers get the best truck for the job they need to do, backing that up with service and support throughout the ownership experience.

This competition shows what it takes to make that happen.”

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

Twelve sales profes-sionals competed in the third annual competi-tion, all of whom were top finishers at regional competitions. One hun-dred and eight sales professionals partici-pated overall, provid-ing an interactive way to hone their skills and deepen their knowledge of Mack products and services. b

Freightliner Trucks re-cently announced that Truck-Lite high visibility LED headlamps are now standard on all Freightlin-er Cascadia and Cascadia Evolution truck models.

Custom-engineered by Truck-Lite for the Casca-dia and Cascadia Evolu-tion, the long-lasting LED lights offer superior night-time driver visibility and enhanced safety, resulting in improved object recog-nition at night. The LED beam pattern also reduces eye-strain for drivers and

minimizes harsh head-light glare to oncoming traffic.

Additionally, the LED lights reduce the draw on the vehicle’s electrical sys-tem, freeing up power for other uses and resulting in a 50-times longer lighting system life than conven-tional halogen technology. The durable headlamps un-derwent vigorous field test-ing in a variety of extreme weather conditions.

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

but to enhance vehicle safety and productivity,” said Mary Aufdemberg, director of product market-ing for Freightliner Trucks. “The Cascadia and Casca-dia Evolution are industry leaders in safety, driving experience and lowest total cost of ownership, and LED headlamps further enhance the products.”

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


LED Headlamps Now Standard On All Freightliner Cascadias

Recently, American Trucking Associations ap-plauded the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administra-tion for clarifying that due to a recent court ruling, both categories of short-haul drivers would not be subject to the 30-minute rest break provision of the new hours-of-service rules.

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

sonable enforcement ap-proach concerning the rest break provision for both types of shorthaul drivers as the Agency drafts a re-vised rule to comply with the court,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. “We’re pleased that FMC-SA is moving forward to provide swift, reasonable relief to drivers who oper-ate locally.”

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

30-minute break require-ment for shorthaul driv-ers, but only referred in its opinion to non-com-mercial drivers license holders who operate with-in 150-mile radius of their reporting location.

Administrator Ferro clarified that FMCSA was applying this ruling to those drivers, as well as CDL holders who operate within 100 miles of their reporting location.

“While the court left much of the new hours-of-service rules unchanged, FMCSA’s clarification on this provision provides im-portant flexibility for short-haul drivers and the fleets that employ them,” Graves said. b

The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Nation-al Revenue and Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), the Honourable Ron MacKinley, Prince Edward Island Minister of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development, along with community group representatives recently announced infrastructure investments for three proj-ects in Eastern PEI.

“I am pleased to an-nounce our Government’s support for these three Eastern PEI communi-ties,” said Minister Shea. “Coming from a small rural community, I know how important community fa-cilities are in creating and maintaining strong and prosperous communities, especially in rural PEI. I am proud to be part of a Gov-ernment that understands the need to invest in our communities and contin-ues to show real support

through these important in-frastructure investments.”

In total, the Government of Canada, through ACOA, will invest $74,771.60 from the Community Infrastruc-ture Improvement Fund. The Government of Prince Edward Island will invest $55,975 under the Island Community Fund. Com-munity proponents have each made contributions to their respective projects.

“The Government of Prince Edward Island has made a commitment to enhance infrastructure to these rural facilities through the Island Com-munity Fund,” said Min-ister MacKinley. “Invest-ments in community safety infrastructure and recre-ation are key to the quality of life for Island residents.”• The Village of Murray

Harbour will receive $46,650 from the Gov-ernment of Canada and $33,000 from the Gov-ernment of Prince Ed-

ward Island for extensive upgrades to the Murray Harbour Fire Hall. Work will include electrical up-grades, insulation, win-dow and door replace-ments, roof work, and specialized firefighting equipment.

• The Northumberland Recreation Association will receive $4,072.84 from the Government of Canada and $3,100 from the Government of Prince Edward Island to replace the arena score-board and install a new clock.

• The Community of Cen-tral Kings will receive $24,048.76 from the Government of Canada and $19,075 from the Government of Prince Edward Island to carry out upgrades to the Boughton River Park. Work included enhance-ments to the park to ac-commodate a multi-use sport court.

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

to maximize essential ser-vices and effectively serve the village and surrounding communities.”

The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency is delivering the Community Infrastructure Improve-ment Fund in Atlantic Canada with an allocation of $16.6 million, and up to $2.5 million is being invest-ed in Prince Edward Island. In Economic Action Plan

2012, the Government of Canada announced this in-frastructure program with a commitment of $150 mil-lion over two years.

The Prince Edward Is-land Government is de-livering funds to eligible projects through the Island Community Fund, a multi-year funding commitment to address infrastructure needs in communities across the province. b

Support For Infrastructure Projects In Eastern PEI Announced

Canada’s “Parks Day” was in July, and it offered an opportunity to celebrate the living legacy being cre-ated by Parks Canada to protect and present Cana-da’s great outdoor places for present and future generations. This sum-mer, team members at Bruce Peninsula National Park were working full out to restore habitat within the park, creating a better home for wildlife on the Bruce Peninsula.

Created in 1987, Bruce Peninsula National Park did not come fully pack-aged and assembled. While a park boundary has been established, many parcels of land within that bound-ary were owned by private landowners. The park has been acquiring property on a willing seller, will-ing buyer basis ever since. Properties that the park is slowly acquiring are places where people have lived, farmed, or worked.

Parks Canada has na-tional standards for the protection, preservation,

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

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

Bruce Peninsula National Park. “The work we are doing will help ensure that future generations of Cana-dians will be able to come here to connect with nature and discover the beauty of an incredible and diverse landscape.”

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

Parks Canada works to ensure Canada’s historic and natural heritage is pro-tected and, through a net-work of 44 national parks, 167 national historic sites, and four national marine conservation areas, invites Canadians and people around the world to en-gage in personal moments of inspiring discovery at our treasured natural and historic places. b

Thirteen Thousand Trees Planted By Parks Canada

The turbines won’t be commissioned until later this year, but the Herman-ville/ Clearspring wind de-velopment is already ben-efiting the local economy, says Finance, Energy and Municipal Affairs Minister Wes Sheridan.

“A lot of people are working during the con-struction of this project,” said Minister Sheridan. “Looking around the site, you see contractors from Tignish to Souris, and we’ll be hiring more as the proj-

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

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

different suppliers. “The economic spi-

noffs from this project are significant,” said Minister Sheridan. “On top of that, when the turbines are commis-sioned, we’ll be provid-ing $350,000 a year in landowner payments and a community trust fund for the Hermanville/Cle-arspring area.”

This $60 million proj-ect will create another 30 Megawatts of wind energy for use in Prince Edward Is-land. When added to its ex-isting wind development, Prince Edward Island will be generating more than 30 per cent of its electric power from this clean, re-newable source. b

American Trucking Associations recently an-nounced it has added HELP Inc.’s PrePass weigh sta-tion preclearance service to its group of featured products for the trucking industry.

“Over the past 20 years, PrePass has been a valu-able service to many truck-ing companies,” said ATA

President and CEO Bill Graves. “It is innovators like HELP that are mak-ing our industry more effi-cient movers of America’s freight and for that reason we’re happy to add them to our roster of featured prod-ucts.”

PrePass’ inspection preclearance services are available at more

than 300 facilities in 31 states, allowing pre-qual-ified trucks to bypass inspection at highway speed while demonstrat-ing compliance with state and federal safety, weight and credential re-quirements.

In addition, HELP offers automated toll payment service on 78 toll facilities in 15 states. HELP prepays all tolls for its subscribers, handles all reconciliations and disputes and passes discounts back to motor carriers.

“With nearly 450,000 interstate trucks now en-rolled in PrePass, HELP is proud to offer North America’s largest, most secure truck pre-clear-ance system,” said Karen Rasmussen, President and CEO of HELP. “We value our 20-year part-nership with American Trucking Associations’ safest carriers, its confer-ences and its state truck-ing association affiliates and share ATA’s com-mitment to safety and ef-ficiency.” b
