Editorrsquos Note sMpwdkI

Many times when we watch movies we see heroes performing dangerous stunts These stunts create a heroic impression in our minds Although the stunts in movies are often not real they do offer a few hours of entertainment and earn millions of dollars in revenue

In relation to movies I donrsquot know if people ever realize the heroic and lsquorealrsquo stunts truckers perform on daily basis and the hardships and difficulties they endure Most people also do not have a very good impression of truckers drivers or pedestrians regularly yell at truck drivers If an accident happens that involves a truck the first thought

in most minds is that it is probably the truckerrsquos fault To top it off the news media is not far behind and generically label truck drivers as drug dealers even though the reality is much different

Trucking is a profession and like doctors teachers and engineers commercial drivers are pro-fessionals in their work They are our real heroes driving a big vehicle with thousands of pounds of loads through tough road and weather conditions is nothing less than a dangerous stunt But they manage to complete their deliveries every time even by putting themselves in extreme danger Many accidents happen on our roads and truckers also lose their lives They drive through -40 de-gree temperature so that critical equipment reaches on time others can have a hot meal on their table and patients in hospitals can get their medicine on time Is this not a heroic stunt ndash to save lives in reality as compared to on-screen Donrsquot you think they are our real heroes These truckers are happy even if they donrsquot get millions of dollars and have a big following like movie heroes We should and must at least give them their due respect

Again winter is at the doorstep bringing snow icy roads and reduced or even zero visibility I hope you are well prepared for the upcoming winter season Please make sure you double check your winter preparation list before embarking on your route Our cover story and additional ar-ticles in this issue are based on the upcoming weather We want you to be safe as no load is worth your life God bless you and your family Desi Trucking Magazine team salutes to you the real heroeshellip

Safety by any other name

As we go about our daily rou-tine driving we probably cross railway tracks about a

dozen times and never ever give those tracks a second thought It is this thinking or more correctly not thinking that is dangerous

Whether the tracks have no warning protection or whether it has lights and bells all crossings are marked on the road warning of their presence and it is those warning to which we must pay attention There is al-ways a small warning sign on a post More often than not there are cross bucks painted on the road approaching the tracks and al-ways there is a cross buck sign posted close by the rail crossing

Not only is it expensive when there is a collision between a vehicle and a train in-variably it is the fault of the vehicle The train has the right of way no ifs ands or buts

In Canada there are on average forty wrecks every year between large commer-cial trucks and trains In the past few weeks there have been several two of which come to mind There was one at the Emerson MB International Border Crossing between a truck and train Again there was one on the Trans-Canada Highway at Moose Jaw At both of these rail crossings the view is not obstructed and visibility is measured in kilometres Yet in both cases a collision occurred While the Transportation Safety

Board hasnrsquot ruled on either of these recent cases you can rest assured that ldquohuman er-rorrdquo on the part of the truck driver was a key factor

In the recent past there have been wrecks of import

The first and most prominent at least for me was a bus train collision in Ottawa that killed six people ndash the bus driver and five of his passengers Again the TSB hasnrsquot ruled a cause to date and probably not for a few more months These investigations are thorough and leave no stone unturned so naturally take a great deal of time and effort to arrive at the cause

Lawyers donrsquot wait for TSB findings but make assumptions and in the case of this bus and itrsquos dead passengers the law suits are in the mega millions It will take years maybe decades to have these cases work their way through the courts and ldquoblamerdquo assigned but letrsquos just say legal careers are being made with this particular wreck

Recently a Nevada jury did have one of these wrecks work itrsquos way through its court system and predictably found the commer-cial truck driver and truck owner at fault and responsible for the cost of the wreck In this particular wreck six people died including the truck driver

The jury ordered John Davis Trucking of Battle Mountain Nev to pay more than

$45 million to Amtrak and the Union Pa-cific railroad

The 2011 fiery collision happened on US Highway 95 west of Reno when the truck crashed through the crossing gate and hit an Amtrak passenger train

Much of the testimony at the trial cen-tered on a National Transportation Safety Board report

It concluded that John Davis Truck-ing had disabled the anti-lock brakes on the trailer and that most of the truckrsquos brake drums were seriously worn

There are undoubtedly many more mil-lions to be paid out as a result of lawsuits on behalf of those killed in this wreck But now that a court has ruled a fault judgment the suits will be brought to a conclusion

These few examples are the critical thoughts in our minds as we cross each and every rail crossing in our daily life We can not slip for even a second into absent mindedness We may get away with being absent-minded a thousand times but itrsquos that one time that makes matters

Because we DO get away with being absent-minded so often we fall into that state of complacency that allows us to think wersquoll never get caught Never allow your-self to reach that point Particularly as a commercial driver be constantly vigilant about your surroundings and never let that

train sneak up on youWhen I was in High School a class mate of mine

died in a cartrain collision along with his father and younger brother That was more than fifty years ago His name was Lawrence MacKenzie Their farm lane leading to the road crossed a rail way track so they certainly knew the train ran by very often both day and night Yet the old story of familiarity breeding contempt must have played a role Visibility was not an issue Yet I still went to that funeral and saw those three caskets draped in white Three differ-ent sized caskets an adult size one slightly smaller (Lawrence) and the baby size (the little brother) I can still smell the flowers in the church Yes that wreck has had an affect on my life It has made me think of safety and in particular rail safety for my entire life

The other day several of us from my hometown were remembering Lawrence I think it was me that brought his name up and there was not a person among us that didnrsquot remember the occasion of Lawrencersquos death It was indelibly etched in each of our memories

When I was in the Army I was the one always aware where railway tracks would intersect with roads and believe me we crossed a lot of unmarked crossings on private land where there were no warn-ing signs

When I became a trucker I was the one slowing down to the prescribed speed limit approaching rail crossings and doing all those things recommended to become aware of if there is a train closeby Rolling down the window to improve hearing turning down radios so there was no distractions listening for trains looking both ways along tracks and then remaining in the same gear until having passed over the tracks

There is a rail crossing not far from my home in which I cross regularly I slow for this crossing every time yet I canrsquot tell you the number of cars that have passed me going in my direction across these tracks because they canrsquot risk a few seconds of their life to be safe Itrsquos such a shame that people feel the need to sacrifice safety for time

It costs me zero time to ensure Irsquom safe yet so many people feel such verification of safety is worth their while Thatrsquos the sadness associated with what we allow ourselves to forget about personal safety for the sake of expediency

Our governments and railway companies spend millions each year to prevent rail crossing incidents conducting awareness programs making information easily available for all to use yet in our industry ev-ery year there are on average forty incidents involv-ing commercial trucks and trains This is forty wreck too many and until we can bring that number to zero and zero is the only goal worthwhile then we have not achieved a point where we know everyone in our industry is constantly thinking of the outcomes

Be aware Be smart Be Safe

It seems everything has been turning towards the ldquosmartrdquo and wireless side of technology The Federal

Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has been testing a new technology to perform wireless roadside inspections on trucks traveling at highway speeds Testing will enter its final phase by December 2015

The FMCSA has been try-ing to make wireless roadside inspection (WRI) a reality for several years The goal will soon come to fruition as there are currently 20 inspection sites in the southeast are ready for the field-testing phase That number is expected to grow by Decem-ber 2015

The WRIrsquos interface will be developed by ISE and will obtain the location of inspection sites to create ldquogeofencesrdquo When a truck crosses a ldquogeo-fencerdquo it will be scanned and the software will transmit information like logbooks and credentials to the system The information gained will be transferred to enforcement personnel to alert them if the truck needs to be pulled over and reviewed

Trucking Transportation or Logistics

The word ldquoLogisticsrdquo is very vaguely understood in the transportation industry It is very often mixed up with transportation By definition Logistics means having

the right thing at the right place at the right time According to the Council of Logistics Management Logistics is the process of planning implementing and controlling the efficient effec-tive flow and storage of goods services and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements This definition includes in-bound outbound internal and external movements and return of materials for environmental purposes With todayrsquos fast-moving global marketplace companies who provide transportation and lo-gistics services play an integral role in the supply chain

Today the geographical boundaries are disappearing for global trade But this globalization has brought in many challenges one of which is the free flow of goods and services across boundaries Managing these in a cost-effective manner is the key to growth in business In this context logistics management and supply chain management (SCM) have come into sharp focus in the industry as an opportunity to gain an edge in the market The need to keep the chain lean and responsive is a major priority The ever-changing landscape of the logistics field makes it one of the most dynamic and complex industry niches present in todayrsquos business environ-ment Inefficiencies in physical distribution in the supply chain management system can often pose significant threats to overall business performance and undermine organizations against lead-ing contenders A managerrsquos ability to integrate coordination be-tween various channels of distribution including transportation storage of products and the seamless implementation of data pro-cessing systems is vital to the growth and development of logistics firms

Effective logistics managers must posses excellent analytical skills coupled with a firm aptitude to solve problems within the finance marketing production transportation inventory control and quality control sectors An in-depth understanding of algebra and financial mathematics are also a key corner stone in the devel-

opment of logistics decision modeling Logistics managers must ensure they are able to adapt to rapid-

ly changing work environments especially when focusing on the transport component of an organization Individuals in this field must have a concrete understanding of the cost structures of vari-ous carriers and their respective modes of transportation and how to adequately allocate resources and make beneficial pricing deci-sions under pressure Managers are also required to have a firm understanding of the legislation and policies governing the trans-port sector Ultimately the goal for Logistics managers is to lower logistics and transportation costs increase asset turnover reduce inventory carrying costs decrease customs fines and penalties through better trade compliance and strengthen customer service

Modern Logistics primarily focus to fulfill customersrsquo needs It involves management of the various activities required to move benefits from their point of production to the customer These ben-efits can either be in the form of tangible products which are manu-factured or intangible such as services provided to the customers Each organizationrsquos approach to Logistics management is differ-ent from one another Some of these firms are more focused to produce these benefits on their own Their strategy is more aligned towards capturing raw materials Alternatively other companiesrsquo logistics strategy is more inclined towards the distribution of the end products into the hands of the consumer Regardless of the strategic alignment logistics system is made up of many function-al activities such as

Customer Service is the ultimate goal of any logistics strategy It involves complaint handling special order requests damage claims returns billing problems etc A well organized customer service set up ensures continuous business from satisfied custom-ers

Inventory Management is about carrying enough stock to en-sure the best customer service without losing money by storing excessive and dead inventory This is important at both sides ndash fin-ished goods as well as raw materials

Transportation addresses physical movement of goods from




a point of origin to a point of consumption In dealing with international logistics a well planned transportation architecture is required which involves having a integrated means of transportation through ships air rail and road Knowledge about import and export rules and regulations also play a great role in this area

Storage and materials handling address the physical storage requirements of holding inventory It is the management and acquisi-tion of the proper space required and han-dling the materials within that space Differ-ent options need to be analyzed in finalizing the storage strategy like Buy vs Lease op-tions or Public vs Private warehousing

Packaging is about protecting the prod-uct while it is being shipped or stored It is also about presenting the products to the ul-timate consumer There are various govern-ment labeling rules that need to be followed and adhered to

Information Processing links all areas of the logistics system together Various software packages are available to manage different activities in logistics management

Demand forecasting helps in preparing for meeting the customers future demands Historical sales statistics seasonal trends and planned future events are considered to accurately forecast future demands

Production planning is another compo-nent of the logistics to ensure that customerrsquos orders are fulfilled on time Manufacturing needs components and raw materials in or-der to make finished goods Proper planning is required to account for machine labor and capacity constraints

Purchasing In order to manufacture and deliver orders to customers internal pur-chase and procurement of raw materials are very important Lead times for each supplier also need to be taken into proper consider-ation

Facility location addresses the strategic placement of warehouses manufacturing plants and transportation resources These decisions are not made very often but once made directly reflect the companyrsquos ultimate success or failure

In addition to the above activities logis-tics tasks also include but are not limited to other activities such as after-sales parts and service support maintenance contracts return goods handling and recycling opera-tions An organizationrsquos strategy guides the way the individual activities are performed A well coordinated and executed logistics strategy plays an important milestone in any organization success

A proposal from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to amend the rule to increase the minimum amount of liability insurance carriers must have

has been sent to the White Housersquos Office of Management and Budget mdash the final stop before the rule is published as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A recent Department of Transportation report suggested the rule would clear the OMB Oct 12 and be published as a NPRM Oct 22The rule appeared on the radar in April when FMCSA released a report saying the

current $750000 minimum is too low The agency noted in its report the minimum has been the same since 1985 and if had it kept up with inflation it would be upwards of $16 million FMCSA says

The agency has apparently breezed through the rulemaking process and is poised to publish the proposed rule just six months after releasing the report

The American Trucking Associations and the Owner-Operator Independent Driv-ers Association however both cite research saying just 1 percent of truck crashes cause damages that exceed $1 million Both groups have said they are against an increase in the minimum

Women with Drive Leadership Summit has been scheduled for March 5 in Toronto a first ever event in the trucking industry

The summit aims to address the challenges and barriers faced by women in truck-ing Word of the summit was unveiled by Trucking HR Canada as part of its three-year action plan ndash which is based on the results of surveys taken by women who already work in trucking male managers and women looking for careers

Other actions will include a new marketing campaign to promote trucking for women and creating mentorship and training opportunities for women in trucking

ldquoWe are taking steps to facilitate lasting change transform business cultures and support the women who pursue career opportunities in truckingrdquo said Cavalier Transportrsquos Vicki Stafford chair of the national advisory committee ldquoCanadarsquos truck-ing industry needs to recruit and retain far more women to maximize its potential and address an intensifying shortage of employeesrdquo Angela Splinter

CEO of Trucking HR Canada added ldquoThis action plan represents a series of concrete steps to help address one of the trucking industryrsquos biggest long-term chal-lengesrdquo

Operating costs for trucking companies are on the rise again after falling slightly in 2012 according to a new study by the American Transportation Research Institute

While operating costs fell between 2008 and 2009 and again in 2012 the average cost per mile rose from $165 to $168 in 2013 The increase in average operating costs is being mostly attributed to the driver shortage and wage increases at motor carriers looking to ensure retention of qualified drivers

ldquoCarriers have experience significant increases in equip-ment and labor costs as well as second level items like tolls and health care benefitsrdquo said Andrew Boyle an ATRI Re-search Advisory Committee member

After the Great Recession and a sharp decline in fuel prices resulted in decreased industry costs between 2008 and 2009 costs steadily rose through 2010 and 2011 with a slight decline in 2012

Fuel now consistently represents the largest share of total average marginal cost for motor carriers followed by driver wages and equipment lease or purchase payments

The new findings were part of a 2014 update to the Opera-tional Costs of Trucking report that ATRI originally published in 2008 The report details average costs per mile as well as costs per hour and cost breakouts by industry sector

There were three new questions added to this yearrsquos survey to assess emerging issues

bull Motor carrier use of electronic logging devices (ELD) to log driver hours-of-service The response was split almost evenly with 53 of respondents reporting some ELD use It is assumed that this figure will increase rapidly as the indus-try responds to the upcoming Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ELD mandate expected in 2016

bull Euipment trade cycles or the frequency of vehicle turn-over Trailers are held an average of 122 years while truck-tractors are replaced on average every 66 years Additionally respondents report an average of over 795000 miles before replacing tractors

bull Primary commodities hauled General freight accounted for one-quarter of responses followed by refrigerated food (19) and manufactured goods (9) as the top three respons-es

bull Since its initial publication it is one of the most request-ed reports among industry stakeholders said ATRI

American fleet executives are less worried about the economy and

more worried about hours-of-service regu-lations according to an annual list of the trucking industryrsquos top concerns

The list compiled by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) was released at the American Trucking Associations Management Conference amp Exhibition

bull Hours-of-service rules that went into effect in 2013 were the top concern voiced by more than 4000 trucking industry stake-holders who completed the survey

bull second was the driver shortage bull CSA this year placed third bull Driver retention was the fourth biggest

concern bull The fifth biggest concern was the

FMCSArsquos plans to mandate electronic log-ging devices

bull The economy which was the indus-tryrsquos top concern from 2009-2011 dropped down to ninth spot

bull Driver distraction cracked the list coming in 10th

ldquoATRIrsquos annual survey of top industry issues gives us direct insight in to all of the

complex forces affecting motor carriers and drivers so that we can plan accordingly and focus on running a safe and profit-able industryrdquo said ATA chairman Phil Byrd president and CEO Bulldog Hiway Express

ldquoAs we all know the trucking industry constantly faces changes and challenges to how we operate safely and efficientlyrdquo ATA president and CEO Bill Graves said ldquoHowever our industry has always re-sponded to these issues with determination and ATRIrsquos work gives us the information to decide where to focus our energies first and foremostrdquo

In trucking and in all industries maintaining good credit is essential for growth and expansion Not knowing your credit or having bad credit can harm your business and your per-

sonal lifeWhenever I sit down with a client applying for credit I always

ask them ldquoHow is your creditrdquo Some will tell me they donrsquot know some say itrsquos good and some say itrsquos bad For those that donrsquot know itrsquos important knowing where you stand before you apply for credit If your credit score is a poor one then you can prepare co-signors in advance or work on improving your credit well in advance If your credit is good then thatrsquos great Keep it that way and you have less to worry about when applying for any type of credit Often people tell me their credit is good and when I check it it is not That just causes a lot of problems for the person borrowing money and the company yoursquore trying to borrow from If your credit is being checked always tell the truth as the truth will be uncovered anyways You make yourself look back and hurt your chances of getting credit if you donrsquot tell the truth For those who have bad credit all hope is not lost but there will be repercus-sions for your past bad payment history that you must accept

For trucking companies fuel cards on credit are essential If the owners of the company have bad credit there will be a huge issue Paying cash for fuel will require a large amount of cash on hand at all times making it extremely difficult to start the business For larger companies this total will be several hundreds of thousands of dollars and more It is much easier to have fuel cards and pay one fuel bill each month instead of paying every day The cash will be tied up to keep paying fuel and you will have issues paying for maintenance insurance office staff rent and drivers later It is a big advantage to have good credit before starting a company and

maintaining that good credit Partnerships in trucking are quite common But if you partner

with an individual who has bad credit that partnership is no longer split equally If one partner has good credit and the others donrsquot there will be a reliance on the partner with the good credit to obtain all the credit for the company I recently saw a partnership dissolve for this reason The partner with the good credit said all the money issues were on his head and his bad credit partner didnrsquot contribute equally As he stated to me he had everything to lose while the other person had such bad credit that he had nothing to lose as no one would give him anything

Individuals and companies with bad credit are not entitled to the very best rates Some of them talk a good game and try to demand a better rate but that gets them nowhere Future credit is all based

on your past If you donrsquot have a good past your interest rate will be higher and sometimes you will be outright declined Bad credit entitles you to nothing I had one company enquiring about pur-chasing several brand new trucks and advised me they had high interest rates on some previous purchases and didnrsquot know why I told them why They had bad credit High risk = high interest rates

In trucking equipment is not cheap Trucks and trailers are not easy to pay with cash If your credit is not good and you need equipment there will be big issues

Whether itrsquos a company or an owner operator or even for a rental your credit will be checked If your credit is bad you may be de-clined Smaller amounts may be possible but equipment costs are large and larger amounts are harder to come by if you have not maintained a good past credit history A prospective owner op-erator who is declined must earn less money and remain driving a truck they do not own or get a co-signor and a company who is declined may not be able to expand and can lose loads with no equipment to dispatch

Driving abstracts and credit as well are often checked when hir-ing If you have a poor credit history a company may not want to hire you even with the best driving record A driver with bad credit cannot be trusted with expensive equipment or with a fuel card If declined for a job this affects your earnings and affects your entire family

Not enough credit or too much credit can also pose issues Own-ing only one credit card does not justify any lender to loan you large

amounts of money One item is not enough You must have several items of credit You must prove yourself with a good track record by paying back all of the items in a timely basis Having too much credit is also a problem

If all credit cards and lines of credit are all maxed out and yoursquore only paying minimum payments over a long period of time and have no savings this will cause you problems You may have spent more than you can afford and it will be difficult to get a deal approved when you canrsquot afford what you already have Have credit that you can pay off affordably Finding the comfortable balance where you can pay off all credit cards and lines of credit in full each month make all installments such as mortgages and vehicle and equipment on time and still have savings is the goal It takes time to get there especially if yoursquove already overspent But itrsquos easier if this is done from the start But again circumstances can change any time

Bad things can happen to good people which may affect credit Irsquove seen illness loss of employment and industry declines that affect people who had always paid their bills on time and still have every intention to Sudden changes in life no can predict but if in a situa-tion like this you can work to restore your credit once the situation has been resolved Your credit stays on your record for seven years If yoursquore able to try to restore it

If your credit was bad from the start try to correct it and show you are able to pay back borrowed money Options such as secured credit cards are available to get it started

If you can have good credit going forward and really prove your-self you will find that doors that were closed by financial institutions in the past might open for you once again

Driving in Canada while using a smartphone seems to be a bad habit thatrsquos hard to break Even though

most provinces throughout the country have regulated fines for those caught using electronic devices while trying to navigate traffic a recent insurance survey has turned up the bad news that Canadians continue to use their smartphones and other electronic devices even when behind the wheel of their cars Allstate Insurance recently conducted a national survey of more than 1200 drivers

This Canada Distracted Driver Poll revealed some very disturbing statistics

One out of every three Canadian drivers who partici-pated in the poll admitted that they checked their smartphone whenever they were stopped temporarily and waiting for a red light to change Almost 20 of Canadian drivers polled admitted that they sent a text message to another individual while driving Even though one out of every three drivers polled insisted that getting a ticket and having to pay a fine if caught using a smartphone while driving was enough of a deterrent to help change their behavior Male drivers proved to be six times more likely to continue to use their phone and drive even after being fined

Bison Hero - Vijaydeep Sahasi

In August Vijaydeep Sahasi a Bison truck driver was on a remote stretch of Highway 5 just past Merritt in BC when he saw a parked car on the side of the highway and a man trying to flag him down Sahasirsquos heroism no doubt

saved the British Columbia womanrsquos lifeldquoMy wifersquos having a heart attackrdquo the man told SahasiSahasi called 9-1-1 and rushed to the car where he found the woman still strapped

in her seatbeltFollowing the instruction of the 9-1-1 operator Sahasi got the woman out of the

car and lay her down on the ground There was no one else but Sahasi and the wom-anrsquos husband to help and Sahasi had not done CPR before

He was nervous he says because he knew that in some cases amateurs perform-ing CPR have broken the victimrsquos ribs or caused other injuries But with the help of the 9-1-1 operator Sahasi performed the necessary CPR procedure

It took thirty minutes for first responders to arrive the woman repeatedly started and then stopped breathing Sahasi grew tired but never gave up stopping only when paramedics arrived and took over

The woman was taken to the hospital and survived The next day her husband called Sahasi to share the good news his wife was doing well had no cracked ribs or significant problems as a result of the CPR

At the hospital the doctors had told him ldquoYoursquore really lucky your wife is alive given that this happened in the middle of nowhere Only about two percent of people would survive cardiac arrest in such a remote locationrdquo

Sahasi who has driven for Bison more than a year commented ldquoI believe that what goes around comes around I was already running a little late but destiny had planned something else for me that dayrdquo

He continued ldquoIt made me feel so good that the doctor said I did [the CPR] perfectly If done too lightly the heart wouldnrsquot have started functioning If done too hard her ribs might have been fractured Neither happened and it is really really rewarding to know she survived I never expected this [Bison job] would take me somewhere like thisrdquo

For his act of kindness the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has named Sa-hasi a Highway Angel and has presented him with a certificate patch lapel pin and truck decal Manitoba-based Bison Transport also received a certificate acknowledg-ing that one of its drivers is a Highway Angel

LA Planning to Build e-Highway for Electric Trucks

LA Planning to Builde-Highway for Electric Trucks

An experimental new road design project in Los Ange-les dubbed the eHighway is being built for a portion

of the busy Alameda Corridor between the ports of LA and Long Beach

Siemens has been selected by the South Coast Air Quality Management District(SCAQMD) to install a one-mile stretch of the eHighway system which consists of the electrification of select highway lanes via a catenary system Itrsquoll work by supplying diesel-hybrid and battery-electric trucks with elec-tric power via automated current-transfer devices called pan-tographs similar to how modern day trolleys or streetcars are powered on many city streets

The company says the system will reduce fuel consump-tion substantially reduce CO2emissions and lower operating costs Siemens and the Volvo Group via its subsidiary Mack Trucks brand are developing a demonstration vehicle for the project

Construction is already underway and officials expect the two-way one-mile system to be operational by July 2015 SCAQMD will then conduct a yearlong test of the system us-ing up to four different trucks each with a different engine type and fuel source according to local media reports

ldquoThe logic of the eHighway system is very compelling for cities like LA where many trucks travel a concentrated and relatively short distance Highly travelled corridors such as this are where we will initially see eHighway being appliedrdquo says Matthias Schlelein president of Siemensrsquo mobility and logis-tics division in the US

Siemens has already been testing a prototype of this over-head system at one of its German facilities

Stakeholders are hoping to eventually expand the system along the remaining three miles from the ports to the major railhead and there are discussions underway about a 20-mile northwest corridor that could connect the ports with inland warehouse complexes

The second quarter of 2014 brought no relief for truckload fleets struggling with driver turnover Large fleets doing more than $30 million in business annually suffered an 11 percent increase in turnover between April and June and turnover for fleets with less than $30 million in revenue increased 16 per-cent Large fleet turnover reached an annual rate of 103 percent according to the American Trucking Associations Thatrsquos 4 percent over the same time in 2013 and the highest rate seen since the third quarter of 2012

Turnover at small fleets also reached its highest level in nearly two years at 94 percent a full 12 percent higher than Q2 2013 ldquoThese turnover rates show that the shortage is acuterdquo says ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello ldquoand if the freight economy continues to grow it will worsen very quicklyrdquo

Less-than-truckload fleets continue to achieve much lower turnover rates than their truckload counterparts The annual rate at the end of Q2 2014 was just 11 percent New-driver recruit-ment however is a challenge for all sectors Openings for truck drivers ranked as the third most difficult to fill in the American Staffing Associationrsquos Skills Gap Index The index provides a measure of the difficulty to recruit for a specific occupation

If you thought companies requiring in cab cameras was an invasion of your personal privacy how would you feel about someone staring directly into your eyes

Thatrsquos right a detector in your vehicle that monitors your eye-lids to make sure you arenrsquot falling asleep If a driver does show signs of drowsiness a sound will be set off to alert the driver

The government recommended adopting the technology after a 2005 incident involving a jackknifed Whole Foods Market truck and a coach carrying a high school marching band Recently the Tracy Morgan crash and the truck that hit a college soft ball team in Oklahoma resulting in the death of 4 girls has put this technol-ogy back on the agenda

The device is expected to cost roughly $2500 to installPerhaps there is a better solution to the lsquosleepy driverrsquo pan-

demic however If the government really wants to prevent these accidents from

occurring they should look into making the industry less taxing so drivers donrsquot have to work an ungodly amount of hours just to make ends meet

If they were just allowed to rest and sleep when they need it maybe we wouldnrsquot have so many accidents

The amazing difference between halogen and LED headlights

TTSAO On Side with Plan for Mandatory Entry Level Driver Training

Headlamps are something drivers use every day it was arranged with Truck-Lite to see if LED headlamps are

really as good as they are reputed to be Manufacturers such as Truck-Lite use sensitive instruments to measure light output

There are six LEDs in each assembly four in the low-beam reflector and two in the high Each LED is no more than a quarter-inch square which to-tally doesnrsquot reconcile with the amount of light they produce Truck-Lite says they will last about 30000 hours mdash about 10 years of average service for an over-the-road truck

To illustrate the differ-ence between the two sets of headlights the same Freight-liner Cascadia day-cab which underwent a headlamp trans-plant between the test runs The entire assembly with the halogen lights with a module containing the LED lights

The test procedure was pretty simple The truck at the same spot on a dark deserted stretch of road and took a few photographs from inside the cab to what jumped out immediately was detail visible just off the road where the trees are on the left in the LED photos They were not even visible with the halogens That gives a driver a real edge

when it comes to spotting wildlife lurking at roadside or catching signage in the distance

The difference was equally obvious on an Interstate highway The wide roadway and the sloping roadside were beautifully lit What truly made a difference was the color of the light Truck-

Lite says the color temperature of the LED light mdash the blue to red shift in the light spectrum mdash is very close to the color temperature of sunlight around 6000 degrees Kelvin compared to halogen at around 4000 K Technically they are not much ldquobrighterrdquo but they sure appear to be because of the color

Interestingly driving on a busier stretch of two-lane road with opposing traffic not once did the oncoming driver flash of the high beams annoyed by brighter lights This is because of the reflector design which throws light where itrsquos needed -- straight down the road and low

and wide mdash rather than into the eyes of oncoming drivers While they are considerably more expensive up front than

halogen headlamps LEDs will long out-live the first service life of the truck and will give drivers night lighting like they have never seen before

The Truck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TT-SAO) has announced support for the provincersquos plans to

introduce mandatory entry-level driver training TTSAO would also like a seat at the table as the standards are developed

The association says it represents training schools that provide a quality of training that surpasses all provincial require-ments ldquoMembered schools of TTSAO are not the problemrdquo said Yvette Lagrois TTSAO president ldquoOur TTSAO schools produce solid entry-level graduates All TTSAO schools offer a 200-hour registered program and have been delivering quality education for decadesrdquo

The TTSAO wrote a letter of support when the Ontario Trucking Association called on the province to introduce manda-tory entry-level driver training standards

ldquoWe were very clear in that letter that we supported manda-tory entry-level driver training in principle and we were also very clear that we need to be involved in all communications regard-ing how mandatory training will roll outrdquo Lagrois said ldquoTo date we have had numerous meetings with the government regarding training issues and recently we have been promised to be at the table for any further discussions with (OTA) Blue Ribbon Task Force as the process moves forward

The chief safety officer for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Jack Van Steenberg outlined the agencyrsquos priorities for 2015 during a recent presentation Van Steenberg spoke on behalf of the FMCSA at the American Trucking Asso-ciationrsquos Management Conference amp Exhibition where he named the top five issues for next year

bull publication of a final rule to mandate electronic log-ging devices

ldquoWe would love to see it get to the secretaryrsquos office in the spring of 2015 and we would love to have a final rule sometime in 2015rdquo said Van Steenberg ldquoThere is a lot to consider when it comes to the electronic devices We want to get it right and we want to get it right the first timerdquo

bull The Unified Registration System The FMCSA plans to put out new rules that will make it easier for carriers to update their UCR information in order to cut down on the number of carriers deactivated for not completing the up-dates Additional tools are in the works to prevent out-of-service carriers from reincarnating under different names

bull Compliance Safety and Accountability program The agency will continue to work on a rule for safety

fitness determination and it is working to update and modernize elements of driver and truck inspections One change will eliminate multiple reports of the same viola-tion such as when a truck has more than one light out or when a driver forgets to sign the logbook on more than one day

bull The agency also hopes to fine-tune the CSA systemrsquos ability to target carriers that maintain operations after be-ing put out of service

bull Finally the FMCSA is looking to implement the third phase of the CSA program next year That phase will give investigators new software and other tools for con-ducting compliance reviews off site

During a recent news conference Ann Demitruk the companyrsquos director of marketing Western

Star noted that with automated manual transmissions rap-idly gaining marketshare in Class 8 applications it seemed to her that fleets and driving schools should use this fact as a marketing tool to help attract new drivers to the industry

According to the FCMSArsquos website it is perfectly le-gal and acceptable to train test and receive a Commercial Driverrsquos License without learning how to operate a heavy-duty manual transmission The agency gives such drivers an ldquoErdquo endorsement code on their CDLs to indicate they are restricted to automatic transmissions only

As more people who have not been inculcated with innate knowledge and feel for machinery it makes sense to allow the machine to do more and not worry about the diagnostic skill levels of drivers to be anything other than driving

Most fleets and schools believe there is a need to such knowledge gained from manual transmissions and how the vehicle feels and handles utilizing the manual transmis-sion If the driver can handle a manual transmission then he or she should not have a problem with the automatic The other line of thinking is that a driver should be well rounded and capable of driving any vehicle on the road

With the advent of the automatic approximately 20 of the new drivers ndash those who cannot grasp the dynamics of manual transmission ndash could be added to the driver pool but using automatic transmissions

Bias against automatics still exists And fleets which desperately need drivers are turning qualified candidates away because they canrsquot drive a manual transmission-equipped truck despite the fact FCMSA policy clearly states that the ability to operate a manual transmission is not a requirement to obtain a CDL Basically fleets would sooner demand drivers adjust to their specifications rather than having the equipment meet the needs of the operator

Should drivers skill match equipment or should equipment match the drivers skill level

What is UCr UCR stands for Unified Carrier Registration program It was

created by the federal legislation and has replaced the former system for registering the operators of vehicles engaged in in-terstate travel it was commonly known as the Single State Reg-istration System (SSRS)

What is the major difference between the UCr and the SSrS

The UCR applies to all operators of Commercial Motor Ve-hicles (CMVs) whereas the SSRS only applied to for-hire motor carriers The UCR also includes carrierrsquos that are transporting interstate goods even if their vehicles do not leave the state

According to the UCr program what is considered a CMV

Any self-propelled vehicle used on highways engaged in in-terstate travel that has a gross weight of 10001 pounds or more is considered a CMV

Also vehicles that are designed to transport 11 or more pas-sengers including the driver are considered CMVs Any vehicle that is required to have hazardous waste placards will also fall into this category

Will the registration apply to individual vehicles or will a single registration apply to the fleet

One registration based on fleet size applies to all the vehicles that are registered under the USDOT number

Do only motor carriers have to register for UCrNo along with motor carrier all motor private carriers

freight forwarders brokers and leasing companies have to reg-ister for UCR as well

What happens if your company does not register for UCr

Each state has the authority to enforce registration compli-ance through roadside enforcement checks If your vehicle is pulled over and your company has not been registered for UCR you could be subject to a fine depending on which state you are pulled over in A business audit could also reveal that your company is not registered for UCR and this could lead to ad-ditional fines

Will you get a certificate to prove your registration with UCr

There is no certificate issued but your registration informa-tion is kept in a national database which can be accessed by law enforcement personnel as part of routine roadside checks

ldquoOur team is excited to be back at TTSAO helping to imple-ment changes that will make the future of the transportation industry betterrdquo Popkie said ldquoBefore we had to police ourselves because the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (MTCU) did not have the staff and ability to monitor the schools This has changed and things are improvingrdquo Lagrois said ldquoThis does not mean we have watered down the by-laws and constitution we have actually put a process in place that will keep our membered schools accountablerdquo she added

Technology plays a vital role in every business With the in-troduction of the Internet businesses are expanding their horizons to the global market Along with businesses con-

sumers are also taking full advantage of comparing and choosing the right supplier The traditional ways of doing business like walk-ins phone calls or fax requests are not enough to compete and become profitable New internet and software technologies are enabling collaboration among various stakeholders In the trucking industry there are a few online collaborative portals available in Canada and the USA where trucking companies can di-rectly collaborate with freight brokers to get their trucks loaded As of yet this collaboration is still limited to carri-ers and fright brokers Shippers are reluctant to participate in direct collaboration with the carriers

Shippers ndash Freight Brokers relationship Shippers award freight contracts to freight brokers though formal bid processes Usually these contracts are for terms of one or more years The primary advantage freight brokers pro-vide to shippers is knowledge of the transportation indus-tryrsquos rules and regulations As transportation is one of the most regulated industries in Canada and the USA it is hard for ship-pers to directly qualify carriers with all legal authorities and permits Not only must freight brokers find the right carrier for a shipper they must also ensure that the freight is covered by an adequate amount of carrier insurance The other criterions for selection of a freight broker are Track Record in the industry integrity customer service and of course price

Freight Brokers ndash Carriers relationship This relationship is mostly supported through online collaboration Every morning freight brokers receive emails from shippers requiring transportation for their freight Based on the shipperrsquos requirements they post the freight on different online collaborative load boards They specify the freight details such as

Freight Management A Collaborative Approach


General Freight

bull Freight size (TLLTL)bull General CommentsBased on these common criteria the tech-

nology enables matching between truck and freight availability The freight brokers and carrier companies also post their contact in-surance authorities and permits information When the technology finds a match both parties can see each otherrsquos information and can contact each other Both can negotiate the price and other terms as per their own busi-ness guidelines This collaboration is really helping both sides to operate efficiently The advantages for the freight brokers are

bull Time Savingbull Verifying Carrierrsquos authorities and per-

mitsbull Verifying insurance informationThe advantages for the carriers arebull Visibility of available loadsbull Better Trip Planningbull Less Empty Milesbull More loadsbull Better Capacity Planning (TLLTL)The load board collaboration provider

companies offer some value added options to their members Among other things the memberrsquos credit report is one the most im-

portant value added services This builds trust among all participating members and boosts their confidence to do business with each other As the time progresses more and more participants will join these collabora-tion boards With the increased numbers of freight loads the market is facing some capacity crunch The numbers of available trucks are very steady Better planning is re-quired to face the capacity crunch problems The days are not far when shippers will come on-board directly on these collaboration boards This will create a new world of col-laborative freight management

No load is worth your life

Do get your truck ready Donrsquot put it off and wait until yoursquore caught in a dangerous situation


- Ken Davey

Everywhere there are lots of ldquotipsrdquo on get-ting your truck ready

for winter The reason is simple A small mechanical annoyance in nice summer weather becomes a life threatening breakdown in harsh winter conditions Harder to find are lsquotipsrsquo for getting your-self ready for winter Getting you truck ready for winter is the minimum any trucker should Getting you self ready is what the experienced real professional driver does

Do get your truck ready Donrsquot put it off and wait until yoursquore caught in a dangerous situation In summer a bald tire is not safe for lots of reasons In winter you can add to that list of reasons by considering it can causer you to jackknife Get ev-erything in tip top shape on your truck in September

Given that your truck is ready for winter the first thing you need to do is prepare your physical self Always travel with a small tool kit Hi-Vis clothes warm clothes boots and gloves and an extra 2 days food and wa-ter In extreme weather you need to be able to keep warm without your truck running Every year in the Rockies we see a highway shutdown that last 2 days and some unfortunate trucker trapped by a slide or accident And it is not just the Rockies that have

extreme weather Make sure you can survive without freezing to death in the event that your truck cannot run for some rea-son Now that your rig is ready and your life is protected from the weather it is time to look at your attitude There needs to be a change in your thinking In winter driving is different It is different than summer driving for 2 reasons The first as you might expect is because of the external conditions of extreme weather the darkness the cold the ice and snow The second is-sue is your body clock These 2 factors combine to make winter truck driving doubly dangerous

The additional hours of dark-ness acts on your body causing you to want to sleep more Not just that it will make you less alert actually drowsy as your body reminds you to get sleep It will also make it harder for you to wake up especially if you are getting up wile it is still dark Second the winter conditions cause you to go slower and get fewer miles and less money even though you are working longer hours and driving in more stress-ful conditions much of the time

This additional stress can make it hard for drowsy drivers to get to sleep and can reduce the quality of your sleep further compound-ing the problem



In summer your attitude is affected and actually influenced in a positive direction by the control you have on your rig and your running times You can squeeze out a few extra miles or hours because you feel good and are in control In winter you at-titude has to be more passive in that that you need to respect that winter is really in control and you need to expect that physi-cally you can do less These factors all come together when a driver who may be completely legal to drive on log book time is actually a little drowsy because of possible accumulated sleep debt and the darkness signaling his body clock to shut down Yoursquore not too tired to drive but you are driving less actively and not constantly looking at conditions or for hazards The weather or road is suddenly very bad either because you werenrsquot watching conditions or there is a sudden change in conditions You feel pressure to continue because you have a load that must deliver on time or you need to get home for some reason You might even be worried about this months pay cheque because you have been sitting a lot Forget all that when the road condi-tions are very bad You have to remember

that stopping is an option and you need to decide if you should continue or stop Do not just blindly continue

Here is what should go into the deci-sion to stop or go in bad weather Your primary responsibility is always to control the vehicle No matter what a customer or dispatcher tells you you have to decide if the road is safe Consider your truck your load and its weight distribution and the conditions Simply following a friend or the truck in front of you is not a safe prac-tice That truck has a different load differ-ent tires and a driver with different experi-ence Be honest with your self about how tired you are and what your driving experi-ence is like A bad load on a bad road at night when you are tired is the wrong time to gain experience for anything other than learning how expensive an accident is Re-member what you have at stake If you run off the road it will cost you On most fleets a Jackknife accident will cost 7 to 10 thou-sand in the insurance deductible and 20 to 40 thousand in down time You could be killed or seriously injured No load is worth you lifehellip or anyone elsersquos When the go-ing gets tough the tough get going - but the

smart and profitable consider their options If you are fresh enough and you believe

the conditions are of short duration chain up Ensure you have a safe place to put on the chains and while chained do not exceed 50kph Once past the extreme hazard find a safe place to remove the chains

If things are so bad you feel unsafe to continue pull over Find a pullout a ramp a brake check even a mall parking lot to park at It needs to be relatively flat and away from traffic lanes The level place is important because if it snows all night you may be stuck in the morning if you have to move against even a small uphill slope As soon as you stop call your dispatcher Tell them where you are and what your plans are Even if your company does not have 24 hour dispatch call and leave a message The customer needs to know right away why you are late and how late you plan on being

By morning usually the highway has been plowed and sanded you are rested and the daylight makes driving easier even if it is still snowing Delivering on time is best However delivering late beats not de-livering at all

2014 BMW 535d

AuTo REVIEw

Last year I had the opportunity to drive the 2013 BMW 550i xDrive a mid-sized rocket that lived up to all of my expectations and then some Recently I was handed the

keys to the new 535d another diesel vehicle added to BMWrsquos line-up A few months ago I gave the 328d two thumbs up and after a week with the 535d this car definitely did not disappoint

The finely crafted lines of the 5 Series continue to be very pleas-ing on the eyes The front end is visibly more aggressive than the preceding generation and for 2014 there are subtle changes to the grille lines and lower air intakes On the sides the beltline crease extends the length of the car to the refined tail end where the rear taillights are more sharply contoured as compared to 2013 The an-gel eyes or halo rings are bright as ever even in the daylight If you own a previous generation of BMW you can add angel eyes to just about any model BMW continues to pay a great deal of attention to the finer details which give the car a daring look This newest generation of 5 Series coupled with the changes for 2014 make this model one of the best looking midsize sedans

The 2014 BMW 5 Series is a luxury vehicle that is now available in six trim levels the 528i 535i 535d 550i ActiveHybrid 5 and the head-snapping M5 These trims are based on engine size For those looking for fuel efficiency the obvious choices are either the tur-bocharged four-cylinder 528i which produces 240 hp or the 535d which produces 255 hp The difference between the two is that the diesel produces a whopping 413 lb-ft of torque Other engine op-tions include the turbocharged 535i six-cylinder which produces 300 hp or the new ActiveHybrid six-cylinder which produces 335 hp For lead footers who donrsquot care for fuel economy opt for the 550i which produces 400 hp or the head-snapping M5 with more than 560 ponies at your command As BMW claims there is a 5 Series for each personrsquos needs and I would whole-heartedly agree

The cabin of the 535d continues to be driver-oriented All major controls and displays are well placed in fact they are all angled six degrees towards the driver The dash is slightly lower as well giving the interior a spacious feel At the center of the dash sits the available 101rdquo high-resolution screen which is absolutely stun-ning and one of the best in the market for this class For 2014 the navigation package is standard on all 5 Series ndash way to go BMW Front seating is spacious yet still retains some cockpit feel Rear seating is good but slightly less than I would prefer Three grown adults can sit comfortably in the rear however 2-3 more inches in legroom would be ideal My test vehicle included the Technology Executive and M Sport Packages The base models come very well equipped but I was spoiled with Nappa leather 18-way active heat-ed and ventilated front seats electric rear sunshade side sunshades 4-zone climate control automatic trunk lane departure warning active blind spot detection surround view (with 5 cameras) active cruise control 19rdquo M wheels M rear spoiler and the HIFI System Professional with 16 speakers including 2 subwoofers Yep this tes-ter had almost every option

Next the much debated iDrive system ndash either you like it or donrsquot The first generation iDrive system was not great but this fourth gen-eration has come a long way You still have to go through different menus with some button pushing but itrsquos fairly straight forward with a short learning curve The central control button is smooth and toggles nicely and for 2014 it has a touchpad which I found to be amazing Similar to Audirsquos system you can now write on the touch-pad rather than scrolling Continuing on streaming music from my smart phone via the A2DP was quick and effortless Bluetooth is great and callers could hear me loud and clear even while traveling at highway speeds

On the road this is one of the quietest diesel cars I have driven

BMW did an excellent job in adding more sound proofing technology allowing passengers to have a conversation without ever raising their voices But the last thing on my mind while driving the 535d was inte-rior noise Around the city steering is nimble but precise and handling is excellent Parking is also a breeze with the available 5 cameras One ca-veat here is that if itrsquos raining the cameras do get blurry rather quickly so clean them as needed On the open roads the car comes alive and wants to be driven and pushed Power is smooth along the entire rpm range and the motor is perfectly mated to an 8-speed transmission Weight distribu-tion is 5050 giving the car excellent balance and control Steering is responsive and there is ample feedback from the road In regular comfort mode the car drives great But if yoursquore still looking for more then se-lect the Sport Plus setting push the shifter to the left for full sport mode and the beast truly comes alive For those who think that only a manual makes a true sports car this would definitely make you think twice

Since I had the opportunity to drive on both dry and wet pavement the xDrive system did not disappoint and the wheels remained firmly planted on the ground at all times One of my most favourite technolo-gies in the 5 Series is definitely the Active Cruise Control

With sensors placed on the front of the car the 5 Series maintains a certain distance from the vehicle in front in-so-much as applying brakes even to a complete stop and then accelerating again to maintain set speed Continuing with safety the vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Head Protection System (front and rear) front and side airbags The 5 Series was given a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS and received a five-star overall safety rating

Within the last couple of years I have become a huge fan of diesel vehicles and this 535d is one of the top vehicles on my list The 2014 BMW 535d starts at $68 150

Winter and General Safety

Fall has arrived and although we hate to hear it Winter will soon be upon us and yes I have to say that ugly ldquoSrdquo word ndash snow The problem with having such a large country

is that ldquowinterrdquo is not the same in the various parts of the country at the same time In fact a cross-country driver can experience all four seasons in one trip and it really doesnrsquot matter what month of the calendar is being displayed This fact makes everyday a challenge

As the seasons change however we must relearn our skills to meet the challenges of the day Driving in winter conditions is unlike any other Dry winter roads can be just as slippery as those ice and snow covered stretches of pavement But when the road looks dry it can lead us into remembering those warm dry summer days when traction isnrsquot a big issue

Anytime the temperature is below zero Celsius even dry pave-ment can be challenging There are several reasons for traction being more of a challenge when the temperature drops is two fold First the pavement itself while appearing dry can have a slight film that will reduce traction The other factor is the tires on your vehicle Most all season tires are quite good to about minus ten Celsius at holding traction but below that they arenrsquot good at all Winter tires are able to maintain traction well below that of all seasons Summer tires are all but useless at maintaining traction in winter conditions but are excellent at running cooler in the heat of summer

Traction works two way also Thatrsquos the traction of digging in and moving the truck forward but also traction is that ability to bring the vehicle to a halt without skidding Skidding is loosing control and even a brief moment of no control is out of the ques-tion

This time a year itrsquos critical to give a great deal of attention to your tires and make sure they will perform their best in the condi-tions you are most likely to face We have little or no control over the way the road itself is maintained but we do have the ability to control the way we react to the conditions presented

This is also the time of year when ensuring the windshield is in good shape and that the wipers are changed from summer opera-tions to winter operations And donrsquot forget to have a spare wiper

Itrsquos also the time of year to readjust our mentality OK during the summer wersquove let our safety margins shrink Wersquore thinking we can stop easier therefore we donrsquot protect our safety margins with the same urgency As winter approaches itrsquos time to extend that safety margin because our ability to stop may not be what we want at every point along the road Since we never know when we are going to be asked demanded to stop whether for a creature that pops out in front of us and that unthinking car driver passes us and pulls into our safety margin then slows down and in some cases does so quickly it puts everyone in danger

While truck drivers in the east rarely have to consider ldquochaining uprdquo those in the west know that chaining is not an op-tion When the authorities deem chains are required chains ARE required Be-fore you have a need presented to chain up make sure you know your chains have been properly lain out and are not all tan-gled up Make sure there are no broken links Make sure the fastening devices work smoothly If there is any doubt in your mind about the soundness of your chains then replace them Make sure you know how they are applied Even prac-tice installing them where itrsquos nice and dry and you can do it in comfort well relative comfort because when you must chain up rest assured the weather will be very nasty and yoursquoll be trying to attach chains in less and desirable conditions

And of course you remember that de-pending on your load and how hot it is that if you feel unsafe then park it until you are safe There is no load no matter how hot it is worth your life If you have any choice then park until the nasty is over Wait until the snowplow has cleared the path and that the saltshaker has done itrsquos job This isnrsquot rocket science just ex-ercise that common sense thatrsquos inherent in our souls

Irsquod like to shift focus now from traction to something that is critically important We donrsquot often think about this subject but there was an incident in Ottawa recently that should bring this to our attention in boxcar letters

The incident to which I refer is the bustrain collision in which six people on the double-decker bus died instantly and more than 30 were injured There is a lot of speculation about what caused this

catastrophic wreck but the thing is that six people died and since one of them was the bus driver we may never ever know what caused the wreck

The point Irsquom going to emphasize here is that crossing railway tracks is potentially life threatening every time The speed limit for crossing railway tracks at a level crossing is 30 kilometres per hour This isnrsquot a suggestion itrsquos the law A law that is ignored completely by the overwhelming portion of the driving population and yes including truck drivers We MUST learn that crossing railway tracks is dangerous and we MUST learn to obey the law every time

Every year in this country there are on average forty incidents involving commercial vehicles and trains so itrsquos not that uncom-mon Thatrsquos approximately one wreck every ten days involving a commercial vehicle and a train Often there is a fatality rarely in these types of collisions does everyone involved survive

There shouldnrsquot be one wreck Truck drivers are professionals and therefore should be held to a higher standard We are held to a higher standard

Now to put this particular bustrain wreck into perspective The crossing was at the highest level of protection That means it had flashing warning lights and a barrier and both of these worked The bus for some reason a reason that may never truly be under-stood went through the barrier and struck the train which subse-quently derailed All of the deaths and injuries were on the bus The train passengers were shaken but otherwise none injured

So our job as truck drivers is to recognize there is a railway crossing Slow down to the speed limit prescribed by the law then proceed only when safe to do so If you can see the train it isnrsquot safe to cross Beating the train across the intersection may save a couple of seconds but is the effort of saving a few seconds worth your life Remember when you stop of the crossing train leave enough room for the trainrsquos overhang

The train itself is considerably wider than the tracks This all sounds like why would anyone not know Well forty professional commercial drivers obviously didnrsquot know or forgot so we have to remind each other the dangers This isnrsquot just a winter problem although the winter conditions could exacerbate the problem Re-member that ANYTIME is Train time

Distracted drivers in Ontario will face the toughest penalties in Canada for talking or tex-ting on hand-held smart phones under legisla-tion revived by the Liberal government Tuesday

Motorists can expect fines of up to $1000 and the loss of three demerit points under the bill mdash which was first tabled last March but did not pass before the spring election was called mdash proposed by Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca

While Ontariorsquos roads consistently rank among the safest in North America ldquothere is still much more work the province can do and must dordquo Del Duca said in announcing ldquomuch stiffer finesrdquo

Del Ducarsquos bill to be introduced in the legislature Tuesday afternoon would hike fines from the $60 to $500 range to between $300 and $1000 and three demerit points

Currently no points are accumulated for us-ing a smartphone while driving

Demerit points can push motoristsrsquo auto insurance rates higher giving extra incentive for drivers to avoid getting tickets from police

The legislation would also apply existing alcohol impaired sanctions to drivers who are

drug impaired crack down on repeat drunk driving offenders and boost safety for cyclists and pedestrians Del Duca said more than 45 per cent of drivers killed in Ontario were found to have drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol in their system

Drivers would be required to wait until a pe-destrian has completely crossed the road before pulling ahead at school crossings and pedes-trian crossings and drivers who ldquodoorrdquo cyclists would see increased fines and demerit points

A motorist convicted of injuring a bike rider with their car door would see the fine go from the $60 to $500 range to between $300 and $1000 and three demerit points instead of two

As well drivers would have to keep one metre away from cyclists ldquowhere practicablerdquo

The legislation comes as distracted driving outpaces impaired driving and speeding as the leading cause of death on the roads

Ontario Provincial Police said there were 78 distracted driving deaths last year compared to 57 for impaired 44 for speeding

The OPP laid 19000 distracted-driving charges in 2013 up from 16000 the year before

First BC now Ontario taking distracted driving seriously

Drivers are advised to put their hand-held electronic devices away as the Provincersquos new distracted driving penalties hit British Columbia roads and highways today Now anyone caught talking on a hand-held electronic device while driving is subject to three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine This is the same penalty that was already in place for drivers caught texting or emailing

The new penalty for using a hand-held electronic device covers infractions such as talking on holding or dialing a cellular phone operating a hand-held audio player (such as an iPod or mp3 player) or programming a GPS Penalty points remain on a personrsquos driv-ing record for five years and can result in further sanctions including prohibitions from driving Of note BCrsquos distracted driving legislation also prohibits drivers in the Gradu-ated Licensing Program from using any hands-free device

The fall season is also a time to be aware that distraction is a top contributing factor for drivers in vehicle collisions that involve pedestrians This is especially important to keep in mind as it becomes more difficult to see pedestrians in dark and poor weather conditions

Distracted driving is the second leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in BC The Province continues to look at increased fines for distracted driving as part of an over-all fine structure review and work is underway to determine what an appropriate amount would be

Key Factsbull Drivers that accrue more than three points must pay an ICBC driver penalty point

premium that starts at $175 and will escalate if they receive more pointsbull A driver who receives two distracted driving tickets in a year would pay $634 which

is the cost of two fines and a $300 penalty for six pointsbull As points build on a personrsquos driving record the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles

may also identify a driver as high-risk and monitor or prohibit them under the Driver Improvement Program

bull High-risk drivers can receive administrative interventions ranging from warning let-ters which say their driving record is being monitored to prohibitions from driving

On August 19 the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced that it will accept input from stakeholders to determine a possible rulemaking for entry-level truck driver training After years of failing to implement a final rule establishing such criteria the FMCSA is considering using a negotiated rulemaking known as RegNeg

Under RegNeg outside agency representatives consult among each other in order to develop the proposed rule taking the respon-sibility away from the FMCSA In Canada a task force is work-ing toward establishing criteria for entry-level drivers as well as hoping to have the Canadian government classify truck driving as a ldquoskilledrdquo profession

Furthermore the Canadian Trucking Alliance has admitted that the primary causes for a driver shortage are driver wages quality of life qualifications and demographics

Ontario is set to introduce mandatory training for entry-level commercial drivers Shoddy training schools continue to oper-ate and because they charge less than $1000 they fly unregulated below the radar and compete with legitimate schools that must charge five times that amount and follow all the rules and regula-tions

The Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) which has been lob-bying for mandatory training for entry-level drivers for quite some time lauded the announcement referring to it as a ldquowatershed

moment for the trucking industryrdquoDavid Bradley president of the OTA said ldquoThe mere fact

that someone holds a Class A licence does not ensure that person has the skills to be a safe and productive transport driver Even an improved test will never fully determine a new driverrsquos skill level Mandatory entry level training will at least assure trucking companies that when they hire a new driver he or she has some basic level of skill that with additional training and experience can eventually lead to that person becoming a fully qualified profes-sional driverrdquo

Transport Minister Steven Del Duca told the Toronto Star in an interview ldquoWe are going to go forward (with mandatory entry-level training) Wersquore going to move as quickly as we can but we want to make sure that we get it rightrdquo He added he believes ldquoit should take place as quickly as possible but in a manner that actually produces the end result that we all want which is the safest roads in North America which is part of my responsibilityrdquo

Bradley said OTA would like to see drivers complete training to an industry-developed standard before they can take the licensing test

Itrsquos a start but unless and until Truck Driving becomes a ldquoskilled traderdquo itrsquos just window dressing

Recent work on Highway 99 will mean safer easier access and reduced congestion for motorists along the Highway 99 corri-dor with the completion of improvements at the Matthews Interchange and the new 80th Street off-ramp in Delta

This roadwork includes a number of changes including an improved acceleration lane at the Matthews Interchange where Ladner Trunk Road crosses Highway 99 to enhance safety for those merging onto the highway heading northbound

Included in these improvements is the widening of the intersection of Ladner Trunk Road and Hornby Drive (south of Highway 99) to four lanes helping to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the area

In May a new 80th Street off-ramp from Highway 99 southbound to Ladner Trunk Road was also opened as part of this project The new ramp is designed to increase access to areas south of Highway 99 especially for motorists travelling to Boundary Bay Airport and the industrial park

The Government of British Columbia and the Corporation of Delta each contrib-uted 50 to this $10-million project which began construction in early 2013

British Columbia distracted driving fines increase

Will Truck Drivers finally be recognized as ldquoSkilledrdquo
