Finding possible positives

There is a possibility that the trucking industry has won over more Government support with its vital role during the lockdown THE GOVERNMENT’S ANTI-TRUCKING STANCE MAY have been softened by the road transport industry’s vital role in keeping the country fed and functioning during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.

Even in the midst of a grim time, with many transport operators worried about the impact of the nationwide shutdown on their businesses, Road Transport Forum chief executive Nick Leggett saw one positive.

“If we’re looking on the bright side, one of the things that has come out of the COVID-19 lockdown is a greater understanding from Government of the importance of trucks, and the intricacies of freight logistics.”

Evidence of it came in the form of a change of mind by the Government on its lockdown ruling that only essential freight could be moved by transport operators.

Leggett explained that the lockdown rules – created “with the appropriately singular view at the time of saving people’s lives,” saw the Government trying to separate freight into essential and non-essential….

“The aim was to reduce the number of people in New Zealand leaving their homes for work, to eliminate the opportunities for the virus to take hold of the population” – as had happened in other countries.

But, said Leggett, “an unintended consequence was that this in fact clogged the freight chain: It’s a system that needs to keep goods moving to work at its optimum.”

For the first three weeks after the lockdown, the Forum tried to get that point across to Government officials and Transport Minister Phil Twyford.

As Leggett pointed out publicly at the end of the first week of lockdown, the essential/non-essential classification showed “a lack of understanding of what is an integrated global system.

“You take one link out, and the whole chain starts grinding to a halt. As an importing and exporting nation, goods have to be able to come in and go out.

“But at the moment, goods deemed ‘non-essential,’ such as logs and processed wood products, are not allowed to go out. That means other countries that don’t have these restrictions are taking our market share – and we may never get it back.

“The longer this goes on, the more people in the NZ provinces where forestry is a key employer will be out of work and the more businesses will fold.

“We can’t export without importing. We must be able to move goods.

Workers are already working in the ‘new normal’ conditions of social distancing and strict hygiene, so this is do-able under Alert Level 4.

“We know that it is vital that items deemed essential move quickly through the supply chain, and priority should be given to them. However, for the supply chain to actually function now, and during our nation’s economic recovery, the classification to control its movement should be scrapped.”

Thus, when (on April 16) the Government “made some adjustments to enable all freight to move, it was a happy moment in otherwise not very happy times.

“This is good news for the road freight transport industry and we thank the Government for making this adjustment.

“A refinement of the rules means that non-essential freight, which previously could not be moved unless it was in the way of essential freight, can now be moved to its end destination.

“Customers can receive this freight, but they can’t be open to operate their businesses under Alert Level 4 and all the rules for working under Level 4 are in place still.

“This means that freight companies can get on with their business and free-flowing freight will help exporters and importers, as well as those who are part of the domestic supply chain.” T&D Truck & Driver | 3

Online our only option... for now

By NZ Truck & Driver publisher Trevor Woolston

NZ Truck & Driver publisher Trevor Woolston in his home “office”

EVERYTHING CHANGED ON MARCH 25, 2020, when New Zealand went into Level 4 lockdown for COVID-19.

Over the first few days there was significant confusion as to what could and couldn’t be done during the lockdown in regard to magazine printing, distribution and retail sales.

At first it appeared that most of our suppliers would be able to deliver – but, one by one, more and more business activities were ruled non-essential

by MBIE….until we ended up in a situation where there was no possibility of producing a printed magazine.

We talked to our industry partners – namely the Road Transport Forum NZ and its member associations, as well as the NZ Heavy Haulage Association – and it was decided that we should try and keep the lines of communication open within our industry….so the decision was made to produce a digital magazine.

Thanks to NZ Truck & Driver magazine’s circulation being heavily via direct mail, and by working with each of the major industry organisations, we will still be able to reach all of their members through their email membership lists.

We also have a good number of our subscribers’ email contacts and will distribute directly to them – as well as running a social media campaign to make contact with as many readers as possible and link them to the digital magazine.

This commitment has not been undertaken lightly: This digital magazine will be extremely marginal financially – in fact, it will not cover expenses.

But our commitment to the road transport industry is to be there through good and bad.

4 | Truck & Driver

We’d like to thank all those advertisers who have stood by us and supported this issue and hope that the industry consumers recognise this support when all this is over and they’re back making buying decisions.

It has been a tough time for all businesses through the shutdown and some will not survive the financial shock that it has caused, so we understand that many companies have completely shut down their spending over this period.

Looking forward, we are optimistic that we will be printing a June issue and will hopefully be back to something close to normal – but who knows what normal will be after all this is over.

Many sectors of the road transport industry have been recognised as essential services and have continued to deliver their usual high standard of service. And the men and women who have been out there, still working through the shutdown, must be recognised for their commitment.

Also going forward after the shutdown, road transport will play a major role in getting the NZ economy back on track – with log exports, agriculture and horticulture and increased infrastructure spending, as well as getting our industry’s own manufacturing sector back up and running.

Road transport will be the pivotal service provider for all aspects of our economic recovery and once again it will highlight the important part it plays in the NZ economy.

NZ Truck & Driver magazine is already working on a programme to highlight the important part transport will play – and to recognise the men and women of our industry.

Let’s all work together to bring our industry out of this trying time as quickly as possible. T&D

NEWS Donald Trump presents UPS truck driver Charlton Paul with a commemorative key at the White House

Official White House photo by Joyce N. Boghosian

An industry that normally employs over 32,000 people (a good one in 50 of the workforce) and generates more than $6billion as it transports 93% of the stuff freighted annually in NZ, was dramatically cut back – down to keeping supermarkets, service stations, dairies, hospitals, medical centres, chemist shops and so on going.

From the outset, industry leaders warned that this essential/non-essential categorisation just didn’t work – that it was going to quickly cause “massive problems.”

Explained Road Transport Forum chief executive Nick Leggett: “All manner of freight can be on one ship – and even within one container.

To make way for the cargo to go on that ship so it can leave – and for all the other cargo coming in at the same time – freight needs to be constantly moved off the ports.” But if it was considered to be non-essential, it couldn’t be moved.

While transport operators, the RTF and National Road Carriers were grappling with these challenges (see story on Page 3 for the resolution of this issue), truck drivers themselves were dealing with other realities of working life under lockdown.

Sure, trip times around our cities were dramatically reduced – and truckies reckoned they could go days without even once being carved-up by a single motorist!

On the other hand they were the ones out there risking their own health to keep the country running. And dealing with new necessities – like sometimes having to work in disposable overalls, masks and gloves….as well as always keeping a safe distance from others. Even, in some cases, having to sign declarations every time they entered food suppliers’ premises – stating that they hadn’t travelled overseas in the past two weeks.

And while the truck drivers carting essential freight were “doing jobs they love,” as Leggett pointed out, they were also “more isolated than usual….from their whānau and colleagues.”

And he added: “Our economy and wellbeing are tethered to trucking. My view is that these workers and transport operators have not perhaps had the recognition and thanks they deserve.”

Not only missing out on recognition – but not even getting the basics! As one linehaul freight driver alerted NZ Truck & Driver, while these essential workers were out there on our behalf……they were being denied essentials of their own.

Like meals: With takeaways, cafes, pubs and restaurants all closed under the terms of the lockdown, drivers suddenly found themselves short of a place to stop and have a feed.

And, worse still, like toilets: Some gas stations Continued on page 9

SALES & SERVICE ACROSS NEW ZEALAND

TD30580

PARADOXICALLY, IN THIS STATE of emergency, first came the storm…before the calm: A mad rush of panic-buying stretched New Zealand’s supply chain to its limits, before the country’s unprecedented COVID-19-induced four-week lockdown.

Of course, the effects of this new coronavirus that started-up in Wuhan, China, had already been hurting Kiwi log truck operators for a month or more before then – the log export trade having been one of the virus’ first NZ casualties.

But then, at the end of March, the public’s rush to stockpile supplies before the midnight March 25 lockdown triggered something completely different for the NZ road transport industry.

It was so extreme that the National Road Carriers Association started a register of drivers retired or not currently working, who could be called on at short notice to do extra shifts….keep the supermarket supply chain working.

It helped in specific cases, but as one operator pointed out, in most circumstances it wasn’t so much that there weren’t enough trucks or drivers….more a matter of the manufacturers, the distribution centres…the whole supply chain being unable to keep up with the speed that toilet paper, flour, booze etc was flying off the shelves.

The empty-cupboard angst continued into the first week of lockdown – driving that sector of the road transport industry that services supermarkets to crazy-busy levels.

After that, the lockdown’s effects within Kiwi trucking largely came down to the significance of just three words: Essential….and non-essential.

A large part of NZ’s fleet of at least 23,000 road freight trucks ended up parked – unable to cart loads considered non-essential (including timber, building supplies, construction materials, all sorts of export products and much more).

President Donald Trump, with Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao beside him, pays tribute to American truckers’ work during the COVID-19 crisis Official White House photo by Joyce N. Boghosian farmers, truck drivers and immigrants – are now the ones holding the country’s economy together.

“Our industry has yet again stepped up to meet need – these are the people who are keeping supermarket shelves stocked, and medicine and equipment going into hospitals and pharmacies.”

NRC chief executive David Aitken pointed out that this is simply what the trucking industry does in emergencies: “The road transport sector stood up and shone during previous crises, like the Kaikoura and Christchurch earthquakes, to ensure communities get essential supplies.”

National leader Simon Bridges did a shoutout to truckies, saying: “I just want to recognise everything you are doing at the moment to keep our country moving – to keep food in our supermarkets, to keep medicines in our hospitals.

I greatly appreciate it. A big thumbs-up to our truckers, who keep NZ going.”

Around the same time, in the United States President Donald Trump honoured America’s truck drivers at The White House.

As the US death toll from COVID-19 climbed to 34,000, with 680,000 confirmed cases – and just hours before he controversially announced

(many critics said recklessly), that it was time for America “to open up” for business again – Trump told a handful of invited drivers and trucking industry execs he wanted to celebrate “some of the heroes of our nation’s great struggle against the coronavirus: Our brave, bold, and incredible truckers.

“At a time of widespread shutdowns, truck drivers form the lifeblood of our economy…..the absolute lifeblood.

“For days (and sometimes weeks) on end, truck drivers leave their homes and deliver supplies that American families need and count on during this national crisis – and at all other times.

“They’re always there: Their routes connect every farm, hospital, manufacturer, business and community in the country.

“In the war against the virus, American truckers are the foot soldiers who are really carrying us to victory.”

And he added: “To every trucker listening over the radio or behind the wheel, I know I speak for the 330 million-plus Americans that we say: ‘Thank God for truckers. That’ll be our theme: Thank God for truckers.’ ” T&D

Continued from page 7 were refusing to let truckies use their loos – and most councils, it seemed, had closed their public toilets.

And so, as our informant explained, it meant that “we have absolutely NO toilet facilities from when we leave our depots (or where we start from), until we get to our destinations.

“This, in some cases, might mean…..from Auckland to Wellington. Over 10 hours and 600 kilometres!”

Unhappily, truckies said, the only solution was relieving themselves on the roadside – in bushes or even in buckets.

Maybe it was just because toileting – or toilet paper, at least – had been so front-of-mind with the nation during the pre-lockdown panic-buying spree….but this sorry business struck a chord. The media, the public…everyone, it seemed, was (for once) on truckies’ side.

Kids responded to NZ Truck & Driver’s Facebook page We Love NZ Truckers callout, with home-made signs – put up alongside main roads.

Gull and Mobil service stations said truckies could use their toilets…and National Road Carriers put up a list of public toilets that were open nationwide.

Along with the usually taken-for-granted supermarket workers, distribution centre sorters, packers and forklift drivers, rest home carers, doctors and nurses, truckies were suddenly elevated to everyday hero status – here (and, in fact, all around the world).

At last, it seemed, the public fully appreciated the truth of that longtime industry message – that trucks deliver….everything!

If only you could bottle some of this recognition and respect and save it for other times – when trucks are so often blamed for everything from clogging and wrecking the roads, to killing motorists…and, of course, destroying the environment.

As Nick Leggett wryly observed two weeks into Level 4: “How interesting that three of the most vilified groups in NZ pre-COVID-19 –

STILL BUILDING YOUR GEAR IN THE HEART OF TUI COUNTRY

The roads to recovery

NEWS

Three mothballed roading projects are perfect candidates for the Government’s search for infrastructure projects that can quickly help reboot the post-lockdown economy, the RTF believes always planned to be open three years after Transmission Gully, because the existing SH58 is already struggling with the cross-traffic and there is a need to ease peak-time traffic on Ngauranga Gorge. This was also one of the roads listed as a priority in a Wellington Lifelines Group report into the impact of a natural disaster on Wellington’s economy.

“The East-West link in Auckland is necessary to ease congestion, with more than 7000 freight vehicles moving through Onehunga each day, causing gridlock.

“Economic analysis found the industrial area serviced by the East-West Link contributed more than $10bn to the national GDP. Auckland’s large and growing population requires a roading network to support the easier movement of freight to support people’s daily lives. At the end of the day, rail will never be a solution for these challenges.

“A four-lane highway between Selwyn and Timaru would connect people and freight between the food basket of South Canterbury and more populous markets to the north.

“NZ must invest mindfully for the recovery period we have ahead.

Infrastructure projects provide an immediate economic stimulus, but the Government needs to carefully select projects that build and sustain increased economic activity and reduce reliance on the Government itself as the longterm salvation.

“Roading projects improve safety and allow us to play to our natural advantages as a food producer by making it easier to get our exports to market,” Leggett says. T&D

KEY ROADING PROJECTS, OVERLOOKED IN THE Government’s $12billion infrastructure spendup announced in January, need to be reinstated as part of the COVID-19 economic recovery package.

The Road Transport Forum says that the post-lockdown effort to get the country back up and running should include quickly scheduling the mothballed Petone-Grenada Link project in Wellington, Auckland’s EastWest Link (between Onehunga and Mt Wellington) and Selwyn to Timaru highway updates.

In response to a Government statement (on April 1) that it has tasked a group of industry leaders to seek out infrastructure projects that could begin as soon as the construction industry returns to normal, the RTF has begun pushing for the inclusion of the three badly-needed roading projects.

Forum chief executive Nick Leggett says further investment in roads will be necessary “if we are going to build up our economy as quickly as possible – and these roads were missed out of the NZ Upgrade Programme.

“Exports and imports need to keep moving to ensure people are employed, when it looks like we will be unlikely to rely on tourism and foreign students to boost our economy for some time.

“There has been some talk of local manufacturing, but that will take years to establish – and, even then, the NZ market is too small to make it viable, so people would have to be manufacturing for export as well as domestic supply.

“With Transmission Gully nearing completion in the Wellington region, the Petone-Grenada link is a vital part of its success – linking freight on State Highway 1 with the regional industrial centre in the Hutt Valley. This was

The K200 is currently running twice a day down to the company’s Waikato growing property, returning with potatoes or onions

T

HERE IS AN IMMEDIATE CLUE THAT VETERAN TRUCKIE Jimmy Clark is a bit of a traditionalist: When given the chance to help spec a new Kenworth K200 for his boss, he opted for a good old 18-speed Roadranger manual, rather than the easygoing automated manual alternative.

We understand that his stunning-looking new Kenworth is something of a pat on the back for Jimmy – a reward for his loyalty to Patumahoe potato, onion and carrot growers and marketers A.S. Wilcox & Sons…. who he’s worked for since 2003.

Old-school preferences are hinted-at again when the 50-something Jimmy mentions that really, he would have been quite happy staying at the wheel of “the old girl” – the Wilcox Kenworth K104 he’d driven for the last 14 years. When the boss initially talked new truck, Jimmy suggested maybe just a new trailer to go behind the old Kenworth would be nice.

So, in the light of these indicators it’s not surprising that when he’s asked about the high-fallutin’, high-tech safety features that are offered with the North American cabover these days (some standard, some optional), Jimmy is pretty staunch in his opinion.

“First and foremost,” he declares, “the most important piece of safety equipment in a truck is the operator.”

Okay…..that’s pretty clearcut. But then, what comes next IS a surprise, as he adds: “But knowing that this truck has a safety system to deal with the unexpected gives you peace of mind. We can only control the things we are in control of, so when the unexpected happens, it’s good to have the safety systems that are in this truck.”

The Bendix collection of safety features amount to a whole host of tongue-twisting acronyms – from ACB to TRM, ESP to ESC. And then you’ve got your ABS, ATC and DTC….to name but a few. Mouthful they may be, but they’re all in the K200 to help – to make the driving experience easier, more fuel efficient…and safer.

Antilock braking (or ABS) is standard on the K200 – along with drag torque control (yep, that’s the DTC) and automatic traction control (ATC). Optional – and included on Jimmy’s new drive – is active cruise braking, trailer response management, electronic stability programme, collision mitigation with autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning. Another option, only available with the Eaton UltraShift Plus AMT, is hill start assist.

The full safety suite is proving attractive to Kiwi buyers, says Richard Smart, general sales manager for Kiwi Kenworth dealer Southpac

Trucks: “Sales of this safety package would be well over 50 trucks since launched – and rising.

“The fuel guys took it first, followed by larger fleets with a strong safety ethic.”

When it came to A.S. Wilcox adding a seventh truck to its linehaul fleet – comprising two Kenworths, three Volvos and a Freightliner Argosy – the inclusion of the full safety package in the new K200 was “an absolute no-brainer,” says operations manager growing, Simon Wilcox.

“The health and wellbeing of our staff is very, very important to us.

The people asset is extremely important and valuable to us…

“I don’t think it’s about one safety feature or the other – because it’s a toolbox. So it was about having the whole toolbox and not just a couple of the tools.”

We join the company’s Bendix Wingman-equipped Kenworth for one of its regular runs – from its home base near Pukekohe, down to Matamata, where it picks up a load of potatoes, carrots or onions from company-owned farms.

So we’ll run south with the 8x4 flatdeck truck and its matching Domett five-axle trailer loaded only with empty produce bins, then load up and come back at 48 tonnes all-up, as Jimmy details: “The truck comes in at 11,860kg with me in it and a full tank of gas, and the trailer comes in at 6740kg.”

NZ Truck and Driver director Hayden Woolston will get a taste of the K200 from behind the wheel down to Ohinewai and publisher and regular tester Trevor Woolston will bring the loaded rig most of the way back. Read their impressions on Page 22.

Clearly it’s not an overly taxing test for the inline six Cummins X15 Euro 5 engine, with its 600 horsepower/447 kilowatts rating and 2050 lb ft/2779 Newton metres of peak torque….but that we’ve already tested: This is primarily about finding out how the new safety suite performs in the Kenworth package.

Well that…..and seeing how it handles running on a road (State Highway 27) that, as Jimmy puts it, “is not the smoothest road in the Waikato.”

Not that he’s complaining: “This is a good run – I get to do it twice a day. When you’re doing local, you’re doing more loading/unloading, strapping/unstrapping.”

Climbing into the K200’s 2.3m Aerodyne sleeper cab is a bit like taking on an assault course – a case of three steps up, a sideways Truck & Driver | 15

shunt….and you’re in. It’s not the most obvious or direct route but….hey, it does the job.

The interior is spacious compared to the likes of Jimmy’s former K104, with better lighting and burgundy pintucked vinyl trim – making it feel very upmarket. Adding to the feeling is the burgundy ISRI 6860/870 PRO air suspension driver’s seat – with bright red hi-vis seatbelts, which are hooked up to an alarm. It triggers if you drive off without putting them on. It’s the first of this truck’s many safety features.

Jimmy, giving us a rundown on the changes from “the old girl,” reckons: “The overall dimensions haven’t changed from the 104 but the lower floor has more room. The engine cover (intrusion) has gone and the ergonomics of the cabin are better.

“The dash is more curved, smoother. This has been refined from the 104.

“Visibility is pretty much the same. The mirrors are DAF. Mine before had the plastic surround around them and they were a lot sturdier than these. These seem to shake too much – I prefer my old ones. They were rock solid.”

The roof in here feels like it’s a long way above you, but Jimmy reckons the cab is still “not as high as a Volvo – but at least you can stand up straight where the engine cover was.”

Even though there’s only a shade over 9000 kilometres on the clock, Jimmy’s already had the opportunity to test out the sleeper’s bunk and driver amenities: “My first night I found it a little uncomfortable – a new, strange bed. The old girl and I knew each other. But you get a good night’s kip in the truck.”

There are some customised touches with the Wilcox truck – mostly sorted out by Southpac salesman Mitch

16 | Truck & Driver

Redington, Jimmy says: “He set this whole truck up….did a bloody good job. Coming from a trucking family, he has an eye for detail.

“I had all these gold bezels across the dash added. I wanted the dropvisor – it changes the look of the K200. But mostly I left it up to Mitch to dress it up.

“I asked for a fridge and that came as standard. If you ask me now ‘what’s the best single feature in this truck?’ I’d have to say the fridge mate: It’s been very hot this summer and it keeps my water cool.

Water’s like gold at the moment (moreso for the growers).”

As much as he’s clearly rapt with the K200, he reckons that to him “it looks like every other K2 out there…” Except, that is, for the stunning light blue paint job and silver striping: “It’s how you do your paint job that makes it stand out.”

He readily concedes that hopping out of the K104 after 14 years and climbing into this did have an immediate impact – ‘specially when it came to the ride delivered by the K200’s 12-tonne-rated taperleaf spring loadshare suspension on the drivers and the 20.9t PACCAR Airglide 460 air suspension on the Meritor RT46-160 rear end.

“I noticed the difference right away. The ride…with the (three-leaf) loadshare is totally different from the old girl. In the old girl, you felt every bump. This one is a lot smoother.

“The suspension is a lot nicer. It sits on the road a lot nicer too. The old girl was on 11Rs – a bigger tyre, so you tended to lean a bit in the corners. But with this unit here, it’s set up on lower profiles (Bridgestone 275/70 R 22.5 R294s) and it hugs the corners. I find it easy to place on the road – no different than my old girl.”

Is this another intended safety

feature? The clicking when the indicator lights are engaged is seriously loud – so loud that there’s no way you’ll accidentally leave them on! It is a safety feature I’m sure….but it could get rather annoying.

Which brings up a good point: Does Jimmy feel that all the safety aids that came with this truck are a help or a hindrance?

Jimmy: “To really appreciate all these safety features, one really needs to understand them. I’ve seen the specs of this truck’s safety features but I’ve never actually been given a rundown on how they actually work – so I’m sort of learning as I go. As most truck drivers will do.

“We tend to experiment and introduce things along the way. We go ‘oh is that what that does.’ And you come across something else and go ‘okay, so that must be the active cruise braking.’

“The first thing that came into play for me was the electronic stability programme. It lets you know that you can’t chuck it into a corner. It’ll grab the brakes and slow you up…..especially when you try to power out of the corner, it won’t allow you.”

Kenworth’s promo literature explains that ESP works to maintain vehicle stability – preventing rollovers or jackknifing – by using ABS, ATC and steering control. Steering angle, yaw, suspension pressure and brake application pressure sensors monitor the intended vehicle directional control versus actual vehicle movement. And it intervenes by applying braking on individual wheels or reducing engine torque to help the truck’s stability.

So, as Jimmy has learnt: “You have to change the way you corner. In the past, in the old girl, I could chuck that thing into the corner and power out of it. With this thing, you can’t.

You have to approach the corners more subtly. You can’t be brutal. You have to be smoother in your approach.”

So…is it a good thing, in his opinion? He does a “yes and no” answer: “I find that sometimes that control can be a bit too sensitive, especially when you’re empty and it’s pulling you back. But I guess it’s a good thing. Like I say, you have to readjust your driving to that system – it’s not the other way around, you know.”

The active cruise control on/off buttons are handily-placed on the steering wheel – while the speed and following distance is set on a screen on the Bendix unit, up near the sunvisor.

Jimmy’s next “discovery” of the safety features was the active cruise braking. It works – when cruise control is engaged and the radar and

Gold bezel gauges and the woodgrain finish dash add to pintucked burgundy cab lining in creating a classic interior onboard camera sense that a collision is imminent – to autonomously use the X15’s engine braking and the foundation brakes to avoid a crash.

He rates it, quite simply, “awesome! You can set your cruise to say 90km/h and if a car overtakes you and cuts too close, then the truck will back off. The system will slow it down until the gap’s opened again – and then it will resume to your set speed.”

Even though he “used to use cruise control all the time eh, my old way of thinking was: ‘Do I trust it!’ You know.

“But this is a new system for me. Now I’m getting used to it, I give it the thumbs-up.

“Yesterday I had a car overtake me, cut in front….and straight away the brakes came on. If you’re not on your game it’ll do it for you.”

In saying that, he also believes that “to drive a big truck like this, you’ve got to be on your game – all the time.”

Yes, he thinks that the collision avoidance system does give him more confidence in emergency situations – “when it’s out of your control. Say, for instance, a car coming out of a side road and not giving way.”

As if on cue, the next of the Wingman’s features makes itself known: We venture over the centre line slightly and a loud buzz comes from one of the stereo speakers. The lane departure warning system detects when the truck unintentionally edges over a lane marking. If the indicator lights are not engaged, the unit automatically emits an audible warning, alerting the driver to make a correction.

The aim is to avoid lane drift related to fatigue, distraction, unfavourable weather conditions or whatever – working day and night and in rain or fog, when visibility is limited.

Says Jimmy: “It only applies to the centre line…if you cross over the side line, there’s a light that will flash up. When you come to a turning bay and you cross into the turning bay, it’ll do the same. It’ll let you 18 | Truck & Driver

know with a buzz. It doesn’t adjust your steering at all.”

Although it has been a long, dry summer, Jimmy has already done some wet-road running in the K200 – but hasn’t yet experienced the Bendix Wingman’s drag torque control system, which works to prevent the driven wheels from compression locking on a slippery surface....by raising engine revs.

“I had a trip a while back when the roads were greasy, but I buttoned off to 85km/h and cruised through.”

Jimmy doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve, declaring his love for Kenworths….but he does wear it on his head, with a KW baseball cap: He grew up with truckies in the family and explains that when he started in 1983, as a 17-year-old, “the top of the tree was a Kenworth.

Either Kenworth or Mack.

“I’ve driven a lot of Japanese gear too and I’ve got respect for the Jappers: You get them in the backcountry mate and it’s magical – they turn on a dime, keep their arse on the ground.

“My last job….I drove for Ruakaka Carriers and we did a lot of airstrips – all in the backcountry. It’s a different world out there: Stock trucks have right of way no matter what. A lot of highway drivers don’t know that.

“My first job with a Kenworth was in the ‘80s – doing Auckland to Wellington. After that I went back into the Jappers. It wasn’t until I got here, at Wilcox, that I got back into the Kennies.

“Listen, a truck’s a truck – but I have a preference for Kenworths.

Guys like the Volvos or the Scanias, which is understandable – driving a Kenworth is like driving a brick shithouse compared to all that gear!

“Let’s face it, Americans are slow to change. I mean the Euros are leading the way….tenfold. You’ve only got to look at the emissions.”

When our current exhaust emissions standard – Euro 5 or its equivalent – came in, Jimmy reckons, “the Yanks tried everything…the Euros had it already worked out with AdBlue. And it took a few years

before the Americans went that way.

“The Americans like to be leaders – but they’re not when it comes to heavy trucks. Kenworths are getting there – they have evolved a lot from the K100 and are on the right track.

“The best thing about this truck is that it’s built tough. This’ll do 20 years and still look good. It’ll do the loads and do the hard yards. It’s just more driver-friendly and more in line to where the Euros are now.”

Is there anything he misses when comparing the K200 to “the old girl”? “The Jake (the Cummins X15’s engine brake) is worse….inferior to the Signature. They assure me that it does get better though.

“This engine too is totally different from the Signature. The Signature roars into life and is grunty. I came out of a (Cat) C15 into a Signature – I loved that motor, but this one’s not as responsive. It could be that it’s new: They reckon anything between 40,000-50,000ks before it starts getting into gear.

“It pulls nicely on the hills (as it should, with its 2050 lb ft torque at 1200 revs and 600hp on tap between 1500 and 1700 rpm).

“I was quite surprised how well she pulls at 1500. I’ve lugged it back to 1200 and I’ve noticed that you’ve got to take a whole gear.

“To half-change it, I’ve been pulling it back to 1300. It’ll come back to 1500 – and I’ve been working in that zone. If you let it drop too low, you lose too much momentum. I’ll even drop it at 1400, depending how I feel.”

Jimmy looks comfortable navigating around the K200’s Roadranger manual box: “I had the option of going auto (with the Eaton UltraShift Plus AMT),” he says – but adds: “I don’t know about the Roadranger’s auto system.

“To me, the American auto (AMT) systems are still behind the eightball compared to the Europeans. The Euros set the standards when it comes to automatic gearboxes.

“That I-Shift has got to be one of the best. I don’t know about the Scania or Mercedes but I know about the Volvo – you just can’t touch it. Wouldn’t it be magic if you had an I-Shift in this? They’re so precise, before you even think about changing gears, it’s done it for you.”

Jimmy reckons it’s not so much a matter of him hating AMTs: “I have nothing against autos. A couple of my mates say I’m too old-school, but I think I just like changing gears. I’ve got to give the left leg a bit of exercise – and the left arm.

“There’s nothing wrong with manual mate – I don’t know why truck drivers get frightened of them. I think it’s either/either.”

Jimmy’s approach to driving is pretty laidback – sticking to the posted speed limits: “It’s not my name on the side of the truck. It’s not a good look to go speeding – for the company and the trucking industry in general.

“Unfortunately, there are still some drivers out there that like to lean forward, particularly through the roadworks: ‘Come on buddy! It’s 30km/h – can’t you see the loose metal?’ And cellphones! Haven’t they heard of hands-free.”

Jimmy’s in a good place in his truckie career: “You’ve got to be happy with what you do and I’m happy with the job – it’s so easy. I liked carting machinery before – but, then again, I’ve done that for too long.

I’m over the tarping and strapping and carting oversize. You get to the point where you’ve had enough of it.”

When he looks around he can see that “it’s bloody hard to get good operators.” But that, he believes, is down to many trucking companies not paying good drivers what they’re worth: “I put the driver shortage down to the transport operators not looking after the experienced operators. We need to come in line with the Aussies – pay over $30 per hour and give them good gear….look after them. But I guess it’s a dog-eat-dog industry.”

At the Wilcox operation in Matamata, there’s only a partial load of potatoes ready to go – then a wait for some more to be harvested.

Jimmy doesn’t seem fazed – spending the wait doing a thorough check 20 | Truck & Driver

of the truck and trailer unit.

When there is eventually a full load on board, he’s methodical and meticulous in the way he secures it all – even down to the point of removing any small, loose potatoes that could fall out of the bins.

“If any of my load moves, I shouldn’t be driving,” he says flatly: “Strapping down is vital – it’s law-required.

“When I first started driving we used to have one strap around the arse of the trailer, put the tarp on and drive to Foxton.” He must have done it well, since he adds: “Touch wood, I haven’t lost a load yet!

“In the transport industry, you MUST do the little things right, ‘cos it’s the little things that catch you out. No matter how long you’ve been driving – experienced or young – do the little things right.

“You can get complacent if you do the same thing day in and day out, but the way the law is now, you cannot afford to have that attitude.”

When the load is all on and secure, Trevor Woolston takes the wheel for the first part of the drive north – finding it “a bit of a mission to get into the cab….probably not the most ergonomic entry into a cab, but something we’re used to in a K-model Kenworth.

“It is an improvement on some of the previous models though.

Improved legroom and seating position too,” he adds.

He’s positive too about the Roadranger: “Nice feel in the box itself.

But the brake and the clutch feel a little vague.” The latter is a 2250 lb ft Ezy Pedal Advantage 3, with vibration control technology….which makes it a lot lighter.

When it comes to attempting to try out some of the K200’s safety features, Woolston is surprised that the steering wheel buttons for the adaptive cruise don’t include any for speed adjustment.

Once he’s got it set up, we wait for an opportunity for the system to strut its stuff: Up ahead, a ute pulls out onto the main road and it looks likely we’ll quickly close up on it….but, alas, it quickly picks up speed and disappears into the distance.

Further on, a car ahead pulls to the centre of the highway to turn right, semi-blocking our lane. It looks like the perfect opportunity to test out the AEB (autonomous emergency braking) system….but Trevor doesn’t have confidence enough to rely on the system and calls on the engine braking instead. I’m thankful, just quietly.

As he puts it: “It feels funny leaving the fate of this 50t truck in the hands of the safety system. Call me sceptical….but I like my legs!”

We pull off SH27 and head toward Ohinewai via Tahuna. It’s a more interesting route, Woolston reckons – with more corners and fewer roadworks.

On a nice, easy, flowing bend, he decides to take the opportunity to test out the K200’s ESP. In cruise control and with his feet off the pedals, we go into the corner warm (but not ‘hot’) and, sure enough, the ESP kicks in nicely – controlling the power and braking to ensure that the truck and trailer get around without drama. It is quite impressive.

Pretty soon we’re at the Ohinewai onramp onto SH1, meaning it’s time for Trevor to hand the Kenworth back to Jimmy.

So to Jimmy goes the last word on the K200 and its safety package.

For a veteran driver like this man, do these new safety features make the Kenworth better or worse?

“Any safety package in a truck has got to be good. I don’t know that it would be good in all applications in heavy transport – I don’t know about the guys in the bush, for example.

“But, particularly in linehaul, I think it’d be perfect. It’s changed the way I drive – like the way I corner – for the better.” Although, as he’s quick to add: “I never had the need for stability control in the old girl….I never even came close to tipping that trailer.”

And finally, he reiterates again that – while he likes and appreciates the safety package in the K200……he still firmly believes that “the operator holds the key to safety.” T&D

Trevor Test

I

T’S AN IMPRESSIVE-LOOKING BEAST, the A.S.Wilcox & Sons K200 Kenworth as it sits at the company’s Patumahoe HQ, ready for another run down to Matamata to bring back a load of onions or potatoes.

Driver Jimmy is proud of his new ride but reckons he would have been happy with a new trailer to go behind his old K104….but the bosses thought differently.

So we’re off down to the Waikato with a load of empty produce boxes to swap for a load of full ones for the trip back.

My son Hayden jumps into the driver’s seat for the run across to Tuakau, out onto State Highway One at Pokeno and on down to Ohinewai.

As he says: “It’s an easy run with only empty spud boxes on the back, but a good chance for a novice like myself to play with an 18-speed. Because most trucks we test drive have AMTs, it’s been a year since I last ground some teeth.

“Initially I find the H-pattern spread quite far apart, but after that I find the box itself is very forgiving and smooth and I have no issues through the many intersections, give-ways and stop signs through to Pokeno.

“I do find though that the brake pedal is a lot closer to the floor than the throttle pedal and I have issues with my foot finding the throttle when looking for the brake.

“On the narrow country roads through to the motorway at Pokeno, the truck is easy to place on the road and the Domett trailer tracks nicely, with no cutting-in at the rear.

“Once on the motorway, I set the cruise control to 90 and relax: It’s time to let the truck do its own thing. I don’t have any traffic issues so don’t get to test any of the adaptive cruise technology.

The only minor bugbear is that the cruise control doesn’t have a plus or minus on the steering wheel so you can’t drop or raise a few km/h when you want – you have to reset your speed.”

At Matamata, the harvesters are on lunch break, so there’s a bit of a wait for

22 | Truck & Driver

Hayden Woolston

things to resume so we can take away a full load.

When it’s done, I climb the usual K200 ladder – up the side of the cab, behind the driver’s door – then slip forward into the cab. It’s not the greatest cab entry but Kenworth has put a lot of effort into improving this aspect of the K200 and has made it easier. The steps are wellpositioned, with the first one low to the ground. They’re good and wide and there are very good grabhandles both sides of the ladder. Once up to door height there’s a good wide ledge to stand on when moving forward into the cab.

Once inside I start up the engine to move the truck off the loading pad and down the track a short way….and immediately set off a very loud alarm.

I’m looking around to see what’s going on and as I come to a stop, I call out to Jimmy: “What’s going on mate?” He explains: “You don’t have your seatbelt on.” That’s the first of the new Kenworth safety features checked off.

This truck is all about the safety features that Kenworth are now offering on its new trucks.

Inside the cab it’s a very familiar layout, with the traditional wraparound dash and full-height sleeper cab, so there’s no feeling of claustrophobia. The full diamond-pleated burgundy vinyl trim and ISRI 6860/870 PRO air suspended

Trevor Woolston

driver seat and similarly-finished fixed passenger seat make it a very nice office space. As a contrast the seatbelts are hi-vis red…..so you don’t forget to put them on.

The dash is the glamour pack, with golden bezel gauges – and it has the full complement, surrounding the usual tachometer and speedo front and centre.

On the left side of the steering column is the stalk for wipers and indicators and on the steering wheel itself you have switches for the engine brake and cruise control.

It has a manual 18-speed Eaton Fuller RTLO22918B transmission, with a 2250 lb/ft Ezy Pedal Advantage 3 clutch….with vibration control technology. In short, it’s nice and light to use.

As I take off, the gearshifts are smooth and easy to make – once I feel my way around the gate locations (which, due to the traditional long gearstick of the K200, are quite a distance across the H pattern).

We head straight into after-school traffic in Matamata, so it’s a matter of gently working around school buses and parents picking up their kids from school: No point in being in a rush – just let the Cummins X15 600/615hp engine, with its 2050 lb ft torque, idle its way through the chaos.

Once out on the flat, open road on

SH27 I settle into top gear in cruise and run along at 90kmh, at just over 1500rpm. I don’t get to experience first-hand the active cruise with braking on this run but Jimmy says he has had it kick in. As outlined already, the truck has Kenworth’s extensive safety package I take the Tahuna-Ohinewai road, as it’s got a few corners and hills – and it avoids some major road works further up SH27.

The truck positions nicely on the road, with good feedback from the steering, which is nice and tight – so no need to be constantly correcting it. The five-axle Domett trailer tracks nicely.

I don’t get much chance on this gently rolling country to use the nice clutch, with only the occasional split gear and maybe two full gearshifts – thanks to the good, steady power of the Cummins that we know so well.

The pedals are well positioned, with plenty of room to stretch out your left leg beside the clutch. The brake pedal sits just a bit lower than the throttle but the foot moves easily between the two. Pre-warned

by Hayden that he caught the throttle with the side of his foot when going for the brake on one occasion, I don’t experience this myself.

On this narrow road visibility is important and the K200 certainly delivers that with its height. While the windscreen is not the

deepest and the dash does rise up quite a bit, my driving position still gives me good frontal vision with just a few feet of blind spot immediately in front.

Mirrors are very large and are the usual offering. It’s disappointing that there is a bit of vibration on them – but maybe they need tightening as I can’t recall experiencing this before on K200s.

The ride is very smooth on what is a secondary road – even when we cross the swamp close to Ohinewai, where there are a couple of good bumps: The suspension, cab mounts and ISRI seat keep the driver well insulated.

I do try pushing the truck on one corner to experience the electronic stability control and it does kick-in quickly: I keep my feet right away from the pedals and leave the truck to completely control the slow-down and stabilisation….and it does it nicely. I don’t have to push too hard to get it to kick-in.

My time at the wheel of the K200 is over at Ohinewai and I climb out thinking that Jimmy may have only wanted a new trailer…. but he certainly got a lot more from his bosses. And he’s not complaining!

And, while I am a fan of many of the AMTs on offer these days, I’m very happy Jimmy opted for the Roadranger: It’s still great to get to grips with an 18-speed again and drive a real truck. T&D

Coal is a bulk, non-time-sensitive commodity that is suited to rail

Road freight should not subsidise rail F

by Nick Leggett Chief Executive

,

TD30632

Road Transport Forum NZ

OR THOSE VERSED IN GREEK mythology, the Government’s infatuation with moving freight from road to rail will sound very familiar.

Like the sailors who find themselves lured to their deaths by the captivating music and enchanting voices of the sirens from Homer’s Odyssey, Government ministers have been lured towards the economic rocks by rail nostalgists who have little understanding of the importance of efficient freight movements to New Zealand’s success.

The Road Transport Forum is extremely concerned that the Government is progressing a law change that will allocate money to rail…money that’s been paid by those of us who use roads.

We recently appeared before Parliament’s Transport and Infrastructure Select Committee to directly express the industry’s problem with this legislation and the perverse impact it will have on the economy.

As we explained to the committee, there is no doubt that NZ requires a well-maintained, first-world rail network and must replace old and tired assets. We are also supportive of recent announcements regarding passenger rail and the

infrastructure to improve that.

However, if funding to rail is justified by a promise that you will be shifting freight from road to rail, then that, at best, is extremely misleading and, at worst, is an outright lie.

The National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) is funded by road users for the purpose of funding the maintenance and upgrading of our roads. Yes, it has been used to help pay for public transport projects, including commuter rail, but that has a direct benefit to road users through the alleviation of traffic congestion.

Unfortunately, this legislation further politicises future road funding by letting it be accessed by rail.

Rail, as we know, is a bottomless pit when it comes to its need for extra money. Rail advocates use the argument that rail has never been able to stand on its own two feet because it has always suffered from under-investment. The reality is that rail outside of the major centres will never be able to pay its own way.

When it comes to freight specifically, rail isn’t even an option for the vast majority of the task. This is because the nature of the goods being moved around NZ won’t ever be suitable for Truck & Driver | 25

THE DRIVING FORCE OF NEW ZEALAND TRUCKING

rail – they are generally time sensitive, have many different points of origin and customers demand flexibility in delivery schedules.

The average distance across all modes – road, rail and coastal shipping – that a load travels in NZ is only just over 100 kilometres…and around 80% of NZ freight is delivered within the region of its origin.

Rail at any level is almost always dependent on a truck at each end – the only exception to this being coal. Every time you force a shift in mode you add time and cost in trans-shipping and doublehandling and reduce efficiency.

That adds costs to the lives of NZers, not to mention exporters who must contend with stiff international competition.

Rail is only competitive with road over a long distance and with bulk, non time-dependent commodities such as coal.

Rail has also proven to be pretty unreliable in NZ. It is extremely common for parts of the network to face ‘outages.’ Of course, rail enthusiasts again blame under-investment, but the funny thing is, unless the outage affects a commuter service in one of our major cities, people don’t really realise it.

The reason for that is because the rail network is simply not that significant to the movement of freight.

It is very revealing that internationally the modal proportions amongst similar economies to ours are much the same. Even where countries like Germany, the United Kingdom and France boast much more impressive rail networks, the proportion of road freight versus rail freight is similar, if not slightly greater than what we have.

Trucks, which carry our economy on their backs, pay for a good chunk of our roads. In fact, we know from a recent study that many of the vehicle types used in road freight actually pay more than their fair share in RUCs. The roads are engineered to a standard that handles heavy trucks, and therefore all road users benefit from that standard. It is absurd then that we should also be expected to pay to maintain and upgrade rail.

The legislation proposes a sort of track-user fee for KiwiRail, which is something RTF has long advocated for. However, the bill provides no details on it and I can see the situation quickly developing where KiwiRail pays a nominal fee into the NLTF…. and yet takes billions from road users for network upgrades, in order to try to compete with the very industry that is subsidising them.

That is not equitable and it is definitely not fair to the dozens of hardworking road transport companies operating at extremely low margins in an ultra-competitive industry. Road freight is effectively being asked to subsidise our less-efficient opposition.

We constantly hear rhetoric from the Government about removing trucks off the road – without any clear articulation or case as to how they are going to achieve that….other than by taking money paid in RUC by the road freight industry and transferring it to rail. I know they believe this bill will help achieve this modal shift, but I just cannot see it changing much, except impacting the bottom lines of freight companies and imposing a further drag on the economy.

Finally, I just want to publicly acknowledge the passing of Evan Dix of Marton Carrying Company late last year. Evan, who was in his 101st year, was a life member of RTF and a great contributor to the road transport industry. He was also known for his community service and served in the Second NZ Expeditionary Force in World War 2. T&D 26 | Truck & Driver

DRIVER SHORTAGE SOLUTION IS IN OUR HANDS N

OTWITHSTANDING THE DISRUPTION currently experienced because of the coronavirus outbreak, the most pressing issue for the industry over the long term remains our workforce shortage.

While work continues with progressing the issue in government circles, the fact is that we cannot rely on the assistance that may come out of that to solve the problem, says transport operator Graham Sheldrake.

As Sheldrake explains, it remains incumbent on the industry to develop and support its own solutions.

“Anyone who looks around at the employment market in our industry over the last few years knows that if we keep going like we have been, we are going to have serious shortages of employees in the not-too-distant future. The fact of the matter is we just haven’t done a good enough job of nurturing the next generation in trucking.

“Economic variations aside, if we want to change things, we as operators have to act. Yes, it might take time – but we have to lift the image of our industry and give young people a chance to succeed in it.

“If we want to bring a younger workforce through, we need to commit to being good employers and be open, modern, flexible and invested in their success. That is the only way we can get the staff we need and keep them.

“If you want a payoff at the end of it you will need to invest: That means committing time to mentor, upskill, support and qualify an employee into your business. We also sometimes need to take a punt on a young person like I did with Summer Ratima Thompson, who has become an outstanding employee for me and won the 2019 EROAD Young Driver of Year Award.

Company owner Graham Sheldrake (below) wants road transport operators to consider taking on a cadet as part of a new Industry Cadetship Programme “It is important that we use the highly-relevant qualifications developed over the last few years to attract new recruits and help existing workers gain the experience and skills to increase their pay and progress in the industry. Committing to ongoing training and qualifications should be a key aspect of any employer’s responsibility to their staff.

“Road freight needs to be more about a career, and less about a job. If we want to maintain the privilege of doing business with a steady flow of workers, it is absolutely critical that we pay people appropriately for the job they do.

“It’s not the young people we need to change. The world is their oyster.

They have plenty of job and career options they can pursue. The changes that will improve our situation can only be made by us.

“I want to help other operators understand just how serious the issue is and I’d love to outline for you the bones of the Industry Cadetship Programme that I’m currently involved in developing. It’s really important that we get operator feedback, so I’d be really keen to have these conversations with you.

“The current average age of drivers in our industry is 54. If we want this number to increase further and then suffer the consequences as our workforce heads into retirement then we should carry on as normal. If we want to promote a younger, diverse workforce that includes more women, please join me and other industry leaders in supporting the Industry Cadetship concept.

“Every operator that is keen to take on a young person and train them up for a career in trucking is contributing – not only to the development of their staff, but the longterm sustainability of our industry. The Government might help us around the edges, but the key to improving

the flow of people into road transport lies in our hands. As operators, we are the solution.”

More information on the Industry Cadetship Programme and how it will work for operators will be available in the coming months. T&D

THE DRIVING FORCE OF NEW ZEALAND TRUCKING

The forestry industry and log transporters were some of the first sectors to be hit by the coronavirus as it stalled international markets

DOWNTURN IN TRUCKING FORETELLS IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS

T

HE ROAD TRANSPORT FORUM FIRST WROTE to the Government way back at the beginning of February to warn that the economic impacts of the coronavirus were likely to be serious.

At that stage the international focus was on China and the spread of the virus there, but RTF could see that it was starting to impact trucking businesses quite seriously here too.

Even then, businesses were feeling the squeeze – with the log transport sector, among others, really coming under pressure as the global forestry supply chain was one of the first to break down.

Now that the virus has found its way to our shores and the health response is in full swing, the economic downturn has reached far and wide.

“Trucking has always been an early economic barometer and as such, RTF requested that Government ministers help alleviate the situation by removing benefit stand-down periods for those workers being stood down, as well as provide tax breaks for those operators and contractors struggling to meet upcoming tax payments,” says RTF chief executive Nick Leggett.

“From a very early stage the health response by government has been exemplary. Ministry of Health, DHBs and Customs leapt into action pretty quickly. The strict travel restrictions were unquestionably the right thing to do, the Prime Minister’s public messaging has been spot-on and there is plenty of sensible practical advice for a lot of worried people out there.

“The testing and screening regimes are doing a good job at slowing the virus’ spread in New Zealand, which is so important if our health system is to properly cope.

28 | Truck & Driver

“Unfortunately, the economic response has not been quite so flash,” says Leggett: “Government was incredibly slow in developing its business support package and, even once it was announced in early March, there were absolutely no details for another week.

“A week can be the difference between a business withstanding the downturn.....and having to lay off all its staff. For many operators the package was too late and, considering how early the Government was warned of the impending economic downturn and the resulting job losses, the delay was extremely disappointing.

“RTF is doing all it can to help. We continue to push ministers and government officials to consider greater relief for the industry, as the reality is that this will not be a short-lived experience.

“I urge all operators to keep a daily watch on the dedicated page on the RTF website (rtfnz.co.nz/covid-19/) that includes up-to-date information on how to manage the significant health and business risks of the virus.

The page has advice on what to do to manage the risk in the workplace, what to do in the event of a suspected infection and where to go to access the various aspects of the government’s business support package.

“We have included links to World Health Organisation information and the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, which has guidance specifically for truckers around pandemics and general precautions to limit disease spread.

“A good place to also visit is the business.govt.nz website. This is regularly updated with advice for businesses, including what you need to know with regards to the government support package and the tax relief available, as well as employers’ obligations when it comes to health and safety,” says Leggett.

EMEMBER MACGYVER – THAT HIT TV SERIES FROM BACK in the 1980s? And MacGyver himself – the super-cool, supersmart dude who came up with outrageous high-tech tricks to get himself and others out of trouble?

Well, about 30 years ago, the New Zealand trucking industry had its own MacGyver-like figure – Auckland transport operator Robin Thomas earning a bit of a whizz-kid reputation for his innovative thinking and can-do attitude.

With an old K-900 Series Dodge, a D Series Ford, a 4x4 Commer and an FR Mack – each with Hiab truck cranes – he was building a business on the back of finding ways to deliver bulky objects into hard-to-reach locations.

“I did a lot of difficult jobs – jobs that nobody else wanted to do.

When I was on my own, driving the FR Mack, customers nicknamed the truck MacGyver. It used to have it written on the front of it.

“And, just like MacGyver, you had to really go beyond the call of duty to satisfy the customer. And that driving force just snowballed.

“For a long time,” he says, “I had some of the biggest Hiabs available in Auckland.”

By 1993 he had “three or four trucks running around in my own name.” The only trouble with that was, as he sums up: “Joe Bloggs down the road wouldn’t know who the hell Robin Thomas was.”

So, “since I always kept up with the best and the biggest Hiabs, we decided to call the company HIAB Transport.”

Auckland’s continuing (and growing) trend towards infill housing helped build his can-do reputation: “Years ago they started building down the back of properties. There’d be a big house on the front and you’d have to back down a narrow drive, past it.

“Many of my competitors would drop the pre-nails on the front lawn and tell the builder to carry it down. I can remember spending

up to an hour down a drive shifting the wide load past the chimney and then shifting it back to pass a power pole. I’ve got a lot of letters from years ago from people saying that they wanted me to do their deliveries because of that attitude.”

The knuckle-boom cranes on Thomas’ trucks have long since ceased being exclusively Hiabs – there’s now around a 50/50 split between Hiab and Palfingers….even though the HIAB Transport name remains.

Yeah, that may seem a little confusing – but there have always been misunderstandings around the Hiab name: “Hiabs are a brand of knuckle-boom cranes for loading and unloading trucks. There are other brands out there, but everyone refers to them all as Hiabs – it’s a household name.

“But when I became HIAB Transport, many other companies started to put Hiab in their name – and they didn’t have any Hiabs! I considered going to the powers-that-be and saying ‘they can’t do that – it’s false advertising.’

“But then I thought, ‘why do I want to spend all my time doing that?’ If I’m as good as I like to think I am, I’m not gonna have any trouble getting all the work I can handle.”

In recent years Robin has stopped buying the Hiab brand, in favour of Palfinger cranes: “They’re both as good as one another, but we feel that the Palfinger is supported way better than the Hiab. We used to have trouble getting parts.”

These days the West Auckland specialist operation runs to a fleet of 27 trucks and 27 trailers, split about half and half into truck crane units – and rigid flatdecks and tractor units with purposebuilt trailers....mostly devoted to carrying large precast concrete building panels.

The friendly but driven Robin is rapidly approaching 70 years of Truck & Driver | 33

age, but his thirst for the trucking industry and, in particular, the knuckle-boom truck crane business, seems to be undiminished.

It is, he reckons, his family’s fault: “I grew up in trucks: My Dad, Martin Thomas, had a couple of trucks and I blame him for where I am now!

“He was just a sole trader…. he used to cart the clay in the winter for the brickworks in an old petrol Commer. I used to go down the wharf on the truck as a pre-schooler, sitting on the passenger seat.

School holidays – I’d spend them in the truck going to the quarries.

That’s how it was back then.

“I also grew up next to my Uncle Trevor (Harvey). He lived next door to us…. was like a second father to me. He had a tip truck and bulldozers. Having a life like that, I was destined to go trucking I suppose.”

Early on in HIAB Transport’s history, Robin bought a one-hectare site in Glen Eden that’s still home base for the company – which has now grown into it: “This building used to be a furniture place that had woodworking machinery, ducting and a sawdust hopper.

We shifted in here, cut the wall out, put a concrete floor in for the workshop, put in a reception area and got some secondhand doors from the demolition guys – and we started to make it our home.

“We didn’t have a lot of money and I can remember standing out there and saying ‘what did I buy all this for!’ You could hardly see the

34 | Truck & Driver

trucks parked down the back.

“Now, if you come in here at night you can’t move for trucks and trailers. You might have 26-27 powerplants, but there’s 20-odd trailers that go with those.

“Dispatch is always trying to park them in other people’s places, so we don’t have to bring them back here. And I’m not buying the neighbour’s place! I already did that once, ‘cos we needed it for parking.”

What’s happened over the three decades since he started out, is simply, says Robin: “My customers started to grow – I had to grow with them, otherwise they’d be looking down the road for someone else.

“One of the concrete plants I’ve been with for 30 years….they just got bigger and bigger – so I kept putting on more and more trucks.”

Now, he reckons, “we can’t handle any more work” – but he still has “people ringing all the time wanting to get into my bank account, saying ‘if you pay us X amount of money we’ll show you how to run your business. ‘Well, where ya been for the last 30 years mate! Who do you think’s been running it? I don’t need you.’ ” Of course, key customers have come and gone – and some have come back too, he reckons: “They’re not away very long before they realise that the company that they’ve been using for their transport is not up to what they’re used to – so we end up keeping the old

companies’ work and getting new ones too.”

As well as the truck crane work and the stuff the flatdeck and concrete slab units do, “there’s a crossover in the middle,” says Robin: “Often we have our Hiabs placing the concrete….AND we have our Hiabs carting it, because the big semis can’t get into the small sites, particularly in residential areas. St Heliers, Remuera – places like that – we’re carting multiple loads on small trucks into there.”

As Robin says, “we never imagined 30 years ago being where we are now.”

Exactly where that is, is a crane truck fleet that mostly comprises Hinos and Freightliners. Hino 700 Series crane-equipped 8x4s generally tow a variety of trombone trailers for over-length loads…

30-metre roofing iron, for example. The bigger units include some Freightliner Argosy 8x4 tractor units equipped with 60-78-tonne Palfinger cranes.

The other crane units are 4x2 and 6x4 500 Series Hinos – a mix of trucks and tractor units.

On the concrete side of things, HIAB has Freightliner Columbias and Mercedes-Benz Actros tractor units towing trailers dedicated to carting stand-up precast panels. Oh…and one old Kenworth: “We tried to get rid of it and we couldn’t give it away,” jokes Robin.

“We have a longstanding relationship with Hino…and that was established in the early days, when we were predominantly Mack

trucks. When Mack went electronic and came out of Europe I took a disliking to them: If I wanted a Renault I’d have got a Renault, so I didn’t buy a Mack. Also, we didn’t want to be held to ransom with the parts.

“Now with our Jappers – like the Hinos – there’s a multitude of companies out there that sell genuine Hino parts at favourable rates.

That’s something I spend a lot of time doing – shopping for the best possible prices for truck bits. There’s a huge difference if you don’t know where you’re buying.”

The capabilities of the front-mounted Hiab and Palfinger truck cranes range from a reach of nine to 28 metres and a lifting capability of 1500-14,000kg – that is, maximum lift at minimum reach. The lift capabilities at maximum reach range from 750kg to 1300kg.

The rear-mounted Hiab/Palfinger cranes have reaches varying from 12m to 19m, with lifting capabilities ranging between 1500kg and 6000kg (maximum lift at minimum reach)….and from 330-1000kg at maximum reach.

The company’s trailers range from 7.5-22 metres in length and include some hydraulically height-adjusted

HIAB Transport has delivered all of the panels for the project

concrete panel trailers, low loaders and three and four-axle semitrailers.

Robin says: “Most of the trombone trailers are purposebuilt… for particular jobs. We’re into having gear that’s low to the ground, because often we’re dealing with product that’s well over-height and we’ve got to get it around and into places.”

“I think I’m in a good position now in that most of my fleet is new – we’ve got rid of most of our older stuff. Our old tractor units pulling our concrete are probably the oldest, at 10 years – but they aren’t doing many Ks. They can sit under a crane around town all day, waiting to get unloaded.

“If I had a truck running down to Wellington then I’d have the biggest, best and brightest out there, to give the driver comfort. But around town we don’t need too-flashy gear. Takes ages to clock up the kilometres.

“And that’s why I got into Hiabs – because, when my competitors were looking at running back and forth to Christchurch and Wellington, I was sitting on a site for two hours with the crane working. Running the engine but the wheels weren’t turning.”

Hard work and Robin’s MacGyver-style thinking prompted many referrals and great loyalty from its customers – generating more work.

The growth still continues: “I’ve got an eight-wheeler Hino coming in the next two months with a big 42-tonne crane on the front of it…..

“As soon as it arrives, the work for it will fill up. I could probably buy another three or four Hiab trucks and within less than a week they’d all be busy out there. But I don’t want that, I’m trying to make the business stay like it is. We’ve got just enough semis to cover the customers we do work for.”

As for why his customers are so loyal, Robin offers this: “I asked a construction company the other day ‘why do you use us?’ and they said: ‘Well, your drivers are good to deal with Robin.’

“I asked in what way and they said ‘your guy came in and we wanted something lifted onto the roof – but a rubbish bin was in the way. I said I’ll have to give you a call once the bin is shifted but your driver just moved it and got on with the job.’ I like that – that’s a bit of me coming out in my drivers.

36 | Truck & Driver

“I tell my drivers ‘you might not be up to doing the job but that doesn’t mean the job can’t be done.’ So that’s when one of us goes out and oversees the job getting done – and that way the driver learns. In these difficult jobs you always take away something to learn.”

Currently, he says, the driver shortage is not seriously impacting HIAB – although it was back in September/October last year.

Then, he adds, “we got about four or five drivers from India through here daily – knocking on my door, wanting a job.

“We’ve employed a lot of them – we’ve got some lovely guys working for us. That solved our driver shortage.

“We’ve got 27 trucks on the road at the moment, with a lot of immigrant drivers. We took a lot on just before Immigration changed their rules on how we should pay them in the future. I can’t pay 90k a year for a 40-hour week.”

The company is, he says, “a recognised employer” with Immigration NZ – “and that allows us to employ staff with a work-toresidence.

“Most of my drivers live handy and walk here. They have less travel time, they hop in the truck and they’re on the payroll.”

Most of the company’s drivers, he adds, “have been with us a while.” George McDowell, for instance, retired last year at the age of 68 – having been with HIAB for 20 years.

“I gave him the golden handshake and gold watch….and within three months he was back here wanting his job back!” So he’s back driving fulltime.

“A lot of our other guys have been here 14-15 years. The next tier down is around the eight, nine years….and then you’ve got these new guys from the Punjab in India, who have only started within the past 12 months.”

Robin makes the point that “HIAB transport isn’t just me – HIAB’s all these guys here. Some of them treat the place like it’s their own.

They MAKE this business.”

Robin keeps in contact with many of his previous drivers, even some who’ve moved overseas and says he takes pretty good care of his loyal drivers – having paid for family holidays and the like.

A little surprisingly, given the size of the business, HIAB seems to

The wall in Robin’s office displays all the drivers, with all their licence details – making it easy to know who can handle which job.

Same goes in the workshop: Details of the trucks’ and trailers’ service and repair needs are noted down on whiteboards. And the dispatch office has a wall full of jobs that are booked via a paperbased system. Some people would find it all a bit primitive….but Robin reckons it’s effective.

“We’re old-school – and run things by paper. There’s a lot of paper in dispatch. If other companies’ power goes down or their computer loses the internet (which goes down on a regular basis) they’d have no way of dispatching their trucks until it comes back on.

“We’ve got a hard form – so when the customer rings up to book a job, we have a contact sheet that it all gets written on and then that sheet goes up on the board for deliveries.

“We’ve got our own in-house (power) generator here too, I just walk out there and push a button and we’re back up and running.

“I can’t control my trucks without the RT and the phones going.

Yeah we get emails though and stuff like that, but those phones need to be ringing.

“We have a lot of guys coming through to show me electronic dispatch packages: I’d be stuffed – I wouldn’t know what my next job was for those trucks! We have a system in there that works.”

“We still find the RT a reasonably cheap piece of equipment and it’s instant: Pick it up and talk.”

In saying all of that, the company does have the Teletrac Navman electronic RUC and fleet management system across its fleet – but Robin uses its messaging capabilities purely for the migrant drivers.

They have trouble, he explains, “getting told over the phone street names and things – particularly Maori names. We put them on the

screen for ease.”

The company has had the Teletrac Navman system for more than 10 years: “We were with them in the early days. It was very up and down back then, with issues…

“But it got better and better with time and we’ve stuck with them.

We had EROAD as well – up until the last signing of the contract – but we were hanging on, waiting for Navman to launch eRUC. “My wife Sally cut her teeth on Navman – she does all the invoicing off that. We do area rates and hourly rates off the truck.

“Builders are great exaggerators, so when Sally would send them a bill they’d say that our truck left way before it had! Since we’ve had Navman, it’s got rid all of the bullshit of guys trying to get a discount.

It’s all GPS tracked.

“There’s also the drivers too: There were some that used to take four hours to go to Whangarei. I’d ask them why and ‘busy traffic’ would be the response.

“The GPS showed that they were sitting in Wellsford, having extended lunches. Sally doesn’t doublecheck all the timesheets, but it does take the bullshit out of it. It’s been a great tool – we love the Navman.”

Although the company is always “very busy” – also taking on transporting oversize loads….often with its own inhouse pilots – and has had some big customers in that line of work for over three decades, Robin happily reckons: “I don’t have anything in writing – but I have that ongoing relationship. I don’t ‘own’ the work, but I have been there 30 years.

“We have some specialist trailers, like a hydraulic house trailer. We don’t move houses – but we move the small transportable buildings that they use on construction sites.”

He reckons that about 90% of HIAB’s work is “around Auckland – Truck & Driver | 37

Another of the Columbias heads off a to a job with smaller precast concrete building panels on its flatdeck trailer

but we’ve got a truck going to Gisborne tomorrow and we do out-oftown long and oversize pipework for a big company.”

The crane truck side of the business is booming (pun intended) and the precast concrete side is important too – but comes with its own set of challenges: “The precast is not easy because a lot of it is over-height and you’re restricted to where you can travel around town.

“If you put the wrong driver on you’ll have a motorway bridge down in five minutes! And the way it’s stacked, if one of those panels falls over, you’re a goner – she’s all over! A 12-14t panel don’t take any prisoners, so you’ve really got to know what you’re doing.

“And although I employ drivers that are capable of driving a truck, I’m then up for training them to know how to handle that product.

Only when both them and I are happy will they be out on their own.”

Route planning for these jobs is key to avoiding any nightmares: “Yeah, a lot of these guys have been doing it for years, so know how to get around.

“But we’re a member of the NZ Heavy Haulage Association and they have some heavy-haulage routes which are drawn up by the NZTA. “But the NZTA says ‘don’t treat these routes as gospel.’ So even though they’ve sent us that list out, they’re not standing by it. We’re that far behind the eight-ball.

“We have a restriction on the motorway now of 4.3m. Before, it was 4.25m – but Auckland’s Titirangi Road (railway) bridge is less than 4.25m, so even though you’re legal you’ve got to have local knowledge. Time and time again you’ve got a truck lying on its side with a digger off it ‘cos some guy doesn’t know that. Some of our loads are over 5m (tall) and that’s why our trailers are hydraulic: You can lift them up and down.”

Ask about the notorious traffic congestion around Auckland and Robin doesn’t hold back: “Absolutely shocking! Sally is constantly discounting travel time to stay in favour with our customers – not to cripple them with bills.

“Some of the travel time is out of control…. We’ll start a driver early enough to get where he’s going – and, depending on the traffic, he’ll get there way too early….or be late.

“Any day of the week, there’s no rhyme or rhythm to know. That’s probably one of the biggest grizzles you’ll get in the transport industry now. Of course there’s the extra fuel for where you’re going too.

“Every month I get the printout of how many (imported) cars are 38 | Truck & Driver

coming into Auckland: They’ve had an increase again this month coming over the wharf. Roading construction can never, ever keep up.”

So, does our trucking MacGyver have any solution? “No I don’t. You can’t shut the gate after the cow’s got out. Maybe electric vehicles may help in the future, but it’s a long way off for people like us – okay maybe for small rubbish trucks and small body types. But we can be sitting on the side of the road for weeks.”

There is another kind of recent problem that he does have a fix for: “There are some new competitors out there that are running around with ridiculous figures. One in particular is billing over $150 an hour less than what I was charging on a job. I can’t compete.”

But on the other hand, Robin adds: “He won’t be around for long if he carries on like that. I’m sure he’s got no idea what it takes to run this type of business.

“He’s got over $600,000 worth of machine. The cranes need to be certified annually – it takes two days. Chains and rigging gear need to be certified…there’s the goods licence. And that’s before the regular RUCs, fuel, repairs, maintenance.”

So, as he says: “I’ll just park up one of my trucks and wait.”

There’s another unexpected arm to the HIAB business that taps into Robin’s decades of experience in the road transport industry.

He explains: “Through our relationship with legal people we now get involved with those who are winding up companies.

“They often want a transport company that can organise and cart the receivership stock. Quite often there’s also a lot of storage involved, so we organise that until it gets sold.

“It’s like the old men’s club: You get to know these people and become what I’d call ‘one of the family’ and that’s where that work comes from.”

HIAB Transport runs its own workshop that does all of the repairs and maintenance on the fleet – and it’s an area that Robin embraces: “Back when I had a few trucks I used to do all the mechanical work myself. I can remember – half past one in the morning putting a gearbox back in the truck and then getting back here at 5am to open up.

“I like the workshop side of it. Having the mechanical knowledge – I’m a petrolhead in my spare time – I was a hands-on mechanic. I don’t get my hands too dirty nowadays.”

Like it or not, in the past, Robin concedes, the workshop wasn’t a priority for his business – “because it doesn’t earn any money….it costs me money. So I’ve been very anti towards it.

YOU HANDLE THE LOAD.

“But I’ve learnt those lessons. So now I need to look after my three mechanics, because if they don’t feel comfortable looking after my trucks then I don’t have the trucks to go out and earn the money.

“Over the last few years, the workshop’s been brought into the future with different mechanical devices for taking the labour content out and we’re in the market to buy a new diagnostic scanner for the fleet of trucks that we have: It takes the guesswork out of it.”

His petrolhead tendencies saw Robin race speedway saloons back in the 1970s and says “I’ve done pretty well, racing over the years since.

“It’s a disease…very hard to get out of your system. I haven’t managed to – even though I haven’t raced for three or four years, I still go and watch.”

He’s also sponsored a couple of young relatives in speedway quarter-midgets. His motivation isn’t necessarily to create new racing superstars....more to give kids somewhere safe to get their adrenalin fix.

With 30-plus years under its belt and plenty of business coming in, does HIAB Transport have a Robin Thomas succession plan?

There isn’t one so far, he concedes….and there will need to be some sort of retirement plan pretty soon: “I’m getting ready to hang my keys up and I don’t have any kids that are ready to take it over.

“My wife Sally is at the front desk, my son David runs the dispatch and another son, Mark, is out on the trucks.

“The other three sons have been and gone – they’re doing their own thing. They’re clever enough not to get involved in trucks.

“I don’t have a succession plan. Not only do the sons not want to take over, but there’s way too much money involved – and young adult boys don’t have the sort of money needed to move into it.

“I’m heading up to 70 now – I’ve told my kids that I don’t want to

be here at 70. I’ve got a nice boat sitting at the marina that I don’t get enough time to use!”

He reckons he has had “a couple of looks from other people in the industry,” and says downsizing might be an option: “What would be nice would be to go back to a small amount of trucks (six or eight).

Still keep HIAB Transport…..operating out of here, and just sell off part of the business.”

Mention that his obvious enthusiasm for running the business suggests he’d miss it badly if and when he does bail and Robin agrees wholeheartedly: “Shit yeah! It’s part of my life. I can’t not work.”

It helps that he’s been called on to cart “some unusual stuff over the years.” Partly that’s been down to the ongoing work HIAB Transport has done for the local movie-making industry: “We’ve carted dismantled planes from Ardmore to Bethells Beach and moved them around there.”

There was also the time that the company shifted four rhinoceros from Auckland Zoo to Hamilton, for breeding.

And then there’s been regular work for the Defence Forces – “and the unusual stuff that comes with it.”

It’s that kind of work that makes the job: “I like the challenge. Last week I had a look at another receivership and there’s a whole bunch of containers and molds, and all sorts of stuff that needs to be moved pretty quickly – it’s going to be a big job.

“I like going there and coming back here with all the facts and figures and try to put them all together to offer the customer a fair deal – for them and for me…

“Because often those non-straightforward jobs can get carried away and eat up what you haven’t built into the cost. I guess the MacGyver attitude is still in me.” T&D

The Burling brand

L

ONGTIME WAIRARAPA TRANSPORT OPERATOR FRED BURLING reckons it was quite simple – the process of coming up with Burling Transport’s distinctive red, white and yellow livery.

It started out as just red and white – back when he started the company more than 50 years ago: “Oh, they were just the colours I wanted to use – so that was it.”

He’d bought the carrying side of the “Baileys topdressing outfit” in Masterton – taking over “about three” petrol-engined Commers.

“They were grey, some of them.” He had them repainted, with white cab roofs, white guards and front bumpers – and red in between.

When he bought out another Wairarapa operator, Tony Pye, he repainted those trucks too. After all, they were pink!

Fred isn’t big on talking about his Masterton business, but does allow that much, much later – in the mid-1990s – he decided to brighten-up the original red and white livery a bit….

By adding a lemon stripe through the middle of the body: “It’s just a better colour scheme. It looks good.”

Over the years that Burling branding has graced a range of makes – from the original Commers, to Internationals, many Kenworths, a Foden or two, a bunch of Mitsubishis about 20 years ago, then more Kenworths, a Western Star, a handful of Freightliner Argosys bought new about five years back….and more Kenworths since then.

The livery has been seen on flatdecks, curtainsiders, livestock units, tippers and – for 15 years or more, until 18 months to two years ago – loggers.

The curtainsiders on the fleet, including four Freightliner Argosys, have made a big visual statement in the form of their lemon curtains and bold

Fred Burling favoured Internationals for a long spell. This is a 1981 TF2670

“Burling, Masterton” signwriting, with elaborate scrollwork as a finishing touch.

The truck that earns Burling Transport the finalist honours in the PPG Transport Imaging Awards this month is a 2014 Kenworth K108 curtainsider truck and trailer unit that Fred’s son Jonny drives – and which he treated to a number of embellishments as the flagship of the fleet.

The Sting Red (a Holden colour) on the cabover 8x4 extends to the roof of the high-rise sleeper cab – and back onto the curtains, which are usually all Chrome Lemon.

In addition to the paint job, carried out by Supreme Automotive Refinishers in Masterton, is new striping – with lighter-coloured (a pale apricot shade), wider stripes bordered by fine lemon striping. It also has intricate scrollwork on the larger stripes – designed and applied by Truck Signs in Mount Maunganui.

A new K200 Kenworth dropsider that’s just gone on the road and a secondhand T904 added two years ago were both given a more traditional treatment of the red, white and yellow livery (without the revised striping and returning to the white roofs). The paint on the K200 was done by Fleet Image in Te Awamutu, while Supreme painted the 2007 T904. The Sign Factory in Masterton did the signwriting and striping.

Fred says the fleet currently runs to “about 11” trucks. As he told New Zealand Truck & Driver a few years ago, he puts big store in having goodlooking trucks: “I’d give that 99 out of 100. That’s how important. If you look shit, you are shit.”

Son Jonny puts it this way: “Oh yeah, for sure, appearance is very important. It’s like being best-dressed, you know. You DO the part – but you’ve got to LOOK the part as well eh.” T&D

The curtainsiders in the fleet make a strong visual statement with their heavily-branded curtains.

Truckers & Loggers

Fishing Tournament 2020

LANDMARK FISHING TOURNEY....THE LAST OF THE YEAR T

HIS YEAR’S BAY OF ISLANDS-BASED SOUTHPAC Truckers & Loggers Fishing Tournament will go down in history as a landmark event.

In its 18th year, as New Zealand Truck & Driver publisher and tournament organiser Trevor Woolston says, “we were hit fair and square by the COVID-19 virus.

“In the preceding week, the Government announced the banning of all events with an attendance of 500 or more people. In consultation with the Bay of Islands Swordfish Club, the decision was made to proceed with the event – as we were far short of the

500 cutoff.

“However we did instigate strict protocols in informing attendees of their personal responsibilities if attending.”

By the beginning of the briefing on Thursday (March 19) 40 teams, with 152 anglers, were registered and in attendance. Despite the issues soon to confront the industry, there was a complete turnout of all who’d registered – except for one team that had withdrawn earlier on, due to other commitments.

On display – on a three-tier stage, thanks to Bay of Islands Scaffolding and Hire – were prizes worth more than $70,000.

The weather forecasts were great, so all the teams were out fishing for all three days of the tournament. However, game fishing was slow – with low numbers of marlin showing up.

That wasn’t the case however with snapper and kingfish, with teams catching very good numbers and quality fish.

There were plenty of stories of overnight (appropriately distanced) socialising amongst crews, with many complaining of serious hangovers following nights of getting together at their moorings.

On day two of the tournament, the Government instigated its next stage of restrictions brought about by the virus emergency – with the banning of all indoor events of over 100 people. As Trevor Woolston says: “Time for a serious rethink of our plans for prizegiving.

“Our land-based team (Olivia and Sue) kicked into gear and put

together an alternative plan, working alongside Swordfish Club manager James to accommodate a prizegiving that would meet the required levels set by the Government.

“With assistance from Zane Greys Bar, which operates an outdoor venue across the road from the BOISC in Paihia, they were able to accommodate all of the teams for prizegiving.”

After socialising at Zane Greys, the attendees went over to the club for the buffet dinner in two shifts – ensuring that attendance levels in the clubhouse remained below 100.

Several teams chose not to attend, due to aged members isolating or just wanting to get away home early – so this reduced the numbers significantly, to the point where the prizegiving could be held in the clubhouse as planned after the dinner…while still meeting the Government’s COVID-19 requirements.

Strict controls were imposed by the club on numbers in the

clubhouse with door counts checked constantly.

Says Woolston: “We were able to meet our full commitment to the club for diners – and the tournament put $3000 on the club bar for anglers to enjoy. So all in all the event achieved all its original goals and the club was well looked after.

“Southpac Truckers & Loggers Fishing Tournament will be the last major fishing tournament this season in NZ – with all currently organised tournaments and major events now being put on hold until the COVID-19 virus emergency is downgraded from a pandemic.

“Who knows where we’ll be next year – but at this stage it’s forward planning as usual for next year’s event.”

Getting back to the fishing: One of the snapper and kingfish teams took out the tournament. Team Car Haulaways, on the boat Animal, claimed the major honours (and prizes) with a mix of measure and release and weighed fish.

The team’s Shayne Halloway took the heaviest snapper prize with a 9.95kg fish, while team-mate Mark Douglas claimed longest measured and released snapper honours with a 78.5cm fish…and Mark Thorburn and Dave Lee (also from Team Car Haulaways) were second and third.

Their team-mate Alan Syne landed the heaviest kingfish (at 17.9kg) – and Halloway was first and second places for the largest measured and released kingfish (the winner a 110cm fish).

All of this earned the team the prize for the most points….along with the best skipper and deckie honours.

The heaviest billfish of the tournament was a 212.8kg blue marlin landed by Greg Burgess, on Totally Stoked II. Brent Butler, on Harlequin, won the tag and release billfish division (he was also the angler with the most points) – and Greg Cornes (on Family Jewels) landed the heaviest tuna, a 24.2kg fish. T&D

Southern road trip highlights ongoing challenges for drivers

By Road Transport Association NZ communications manager David Killick

F

OR A RELAXING GETAWAY, THE GOOD OLD KIWI ROAD TRIP takes a lot of beating. A recent road trip in the South Island gave me the opportunity to see the roads and conditions that truck drivers face every day.

My overall impression was that professional drivers do an amazing job. It’s also clear that they face mounting challenges: The state of the roads themselves, increasing volumes of traffic and the unpredictable behaviour of other drivers being the main ones. Then there’s the equally unpredictable weather. At least no-one can call New Zealand roads “boring.”

In mid-March, just before the announcement that all visitors to NZ would have to self-isolate, there were still plenty of tourists on the roads, many driving camper-vans. We can expect to see numbers trailing away as the tough measures necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic continue to bite.

Even without tourists, some of our main highways are badly congested – incredible in a country of only five million people.... less than many big cities overseas.

Our trip started in Christchurch and took us south on SH1 to Dunedin, where we overnighted. We then joined SH8 at Milton and headed west through Lawrence, Alexandra, and the rugged landscape and rich fruit-growing area of Central Otago; then on SH6 down to Queenstown and around Lake Wakatipu to Glenorchy.

We returned through the centre of the island on SH8 though the Mackenzie Country to Lake Tekapo, and looped back to Christchurch via Fairlie and Geraldine on SH79 – rejoining SH1 south of the Rangitata River.

Weather stayed fine the whole time. Traffic woes started as soon as we left Christchurch. Progress is being made on extending the southern motorway as far as Rolleston, but at present, it’s a mess.

We watched one poor truck driver attempting to turn right onto the state highway. Heavy traffic continued as far as Timaru, easing gradually further south.

Passing lanes crop up every few kilometres but they are not

enough to meet the heavy volume of traffic. There are few passing opportunities and traffic stays stuck at a slow pace. Originally, the whole of SH1 as far as Ashburton was going to be four lanes but this has now been abandoned.

My view is that successive governments have failed dismally to address the need for better roading. National promised to build better state highways, but the present government canned those plans. It says it’s fixing the problem by throwing $5.3billion at roading – but it won’t: The lion’s share of funding goes to Auckland.

Even if traffic, like housing, grows at a slow but steady rate, it places a huge burden on roads. Our 1970s-era state highways simply are not up to the task. The latest news that the Government will pump billions more into transport is welcome – but needs more study.

Heading into Central Otago we travelled on challenging roads that demand full attention. We spotted a couple of trucks heading through a narrow winding section – then we got bogged down by a lengthy stretch of roadworks.

The gorge route into Queenstown can be hairy. A few years ago we were nearly taken out by a Range Rover driver passing a petrol tanker on a blind bend. Thank goodness for good ABS brakes and the anti-skid course I’d done. This time our hearts missed a beat when we saw a BMW passing a camper-van on double yellow lines, on a blind bend on the road to Glenorchy.

We saw another driver crossing a double yellow line on SH1: It’s not tourists – it’s impatient and aggressive Kiwi motorists who are at fault. Another hazard was drivers going slowly.....then suddenly speeding up – up to 110km/h or more – on the few passing lanes.

Driving in NZ is not for the faint-hearted!

Luckily, the route back through the centre was calm and I got the chance to use the cruise control and relax.

However, concentration and fast reflexes are essential at all times. It’s something truck drivers practise all the time. We should all make life easier for them – not harder. T&D Truck & Driver | 51

We’re aiming for zero plastic pellet loss

By David Aitken, CEO of National Road Carriers Association

P

LASTIC WASTE THAT ENDS UP IN THE ocean kills marine animals when they ingest it – and we want to ensure the trucking industry is not part of the problem.

We want to do our bit to make sure there is no plastic pollution from trucks – and we’re taking steps to educate National Road Carriers Association members on how to do that.

When seabirds, turtles and fish ingest plastics in the ocean they get sick, malnourished and often die. These plastics may be used consumer products (eg bottles, caps, containers, etc).

A less-visible, but just as damaging, problem is resin pellets (sometimes called nurdles) that wash into inland waterways and stormwater systems and end up in the sea.

While consumers are responsible for the proper disposal of the products they use, we in the transport industry must focus on containment of the products we move, handle and store – especially plastic pellets, the basic raw material of the plastics industry.

Every plastics manufacturer and distributor must prevent the pellets from getting into waterways that eventually lead to the sea.

As part of our environmental and sustainability project, NRC is planning to team up with Plastics New Zealand and the Healthy Waters team at Auckland Council to bring more awareness of plastics in our environment – and the part the trucking industry can play to get this under control.

Plastics NZ runs a programme called Operation Clean Sweep that helps manufacturing sites meet best practice for plastic pellet handling, to prevent accidental release into the environment.

The freight industry is involved in unloading, storing and distributing plastic pellets. Handling this material carries a risk of spillage and our members need to know how to prevent spills or handle them when they occur.

Our proposed collaboration with Plastics NZ and Healthy Waters will include events, seminars and workshops to help NRC members understand the importance of safe storage, handling and transportation of all types of plastics – from raw material to processed plastics.

We are looking at a pilot programme to test the best way to engage with the freight industry. NRC will promote the pilot to up to 10 members in one area. The members will be audited against minimum performance requirements for: • Stormwater drain protection in all risk areas • Standard operating procedure for cleanup of plastic spills • Appropriate equipment available for plastic spill cleanups • Staff awareness of spill risks A report, with recommendations for changes, will be written – based on the audit.

If not already in place, a site spill plan will be

developed in collaboration with the business and spill training will be provided. Once best practice has been achieved an Operation Clean Sweep certificate will be issued.

The first step in our zero plastic pellet loss project has been to produce the NRC Guide to Plastic Handling https://www.natroad.co.nz/ about_nrc/Category?Action=View&Category_ id=500 which gives step by step instructions for different types of transport companies and their staff on how to properly handle and dispose of plastic pellets.

The NRC Guide to Plastic Handling starts with five basic steps for managers: 1. Commit to making zero pellet loss a priority 2. Assess your company’s situation and needs 3. Make needed upgrades in facilities and equipment as appropriate 4. Raise employee awareness and accountability 5. Follow up and enforce procedures. When management cares, employees will too The guide provides specific advice for curtainsider trucks and bulk container transportation, what to do if a spill occurs while loading or unloading and a list of dos and don’ts.

Plastic pellet containment is good for the environment and good for business. We hope you will support this important initiative. With your help and cooperation, we can achieve our goal of zero pellet loss. T&D Truck & Driver | 53

Sales drop...again N

EW ZEALAND’S NEW HEAVY TRUCK MARKET continued its slowdown in March – with sales lagging behind last year’s levels for the third consecutive month.

The 347 new truck registrations for the month in the overall market (trucks with a GVM of 4.5 tonnes or higher), was 149 down (that’s a drop of almost 30%) on March 2019’s sales.

And that, in turn, saw the 1045 year-to-date registrations tally at the end of March 19% down on the 1300 for the first three months of 2019.

It’s the lowest first quarter performance since 2016, when 901 trucks were registered.

The heavy trailer market had an even worse month, with just 91 registrations (40% down on March 2019’s 153) for a YTD total of 310 – 61 (and 16%) down on Q1 last year. Like the overall truck market, the trailer industry hasn’t experienced such a bad start to the year since 2016, when registrations equalled this year’s tally.

In the overall truck market (4.5t-maximum GVM), Isuzu not only continued to clearly rule as No. 1, it actually slightly improved its market share (up from 22.4% for Q1 last year, to 23.8%), with 249 registrations – moving further ahead of second-placed FUSO (172/57), Hino (124/34) and Volvo (82/28), in order behind.

Scania (76/28) and Iveco (67/27) were the only others in the top 10 to improve on their Q1 performances last year – Scania up from 11th and a 2.8% market share, to fifth and a 7.3% share, while Iveco went from 10th to sixth….and from a 4.4% share to 6.4%.

Kenworth (49/12) held seventh place in March, ahead of Mercedes-Benz (47/16), which gained a position at the cost of UD (41/9). DAF (29/11) rounded out the top 10.

This new Volvo FM-540 has gone to work for Hastings’ Tumu Transport, carting timber, fertiliser and metal. The 6x4 rigid has a 540hp engine, I-Shift AMT and 7.5t front axle

Volvo’s great start to the year in the 23t-max GVM premium division continued in March, its 30 registrations for the month pushing its YTD total out to 82 and further increasing its lead.

Scania (69/26) overtook Isuzu (61/15) for second place, while the rest of the top 10 held their February places – Kenworth (49/12) in fourth, ahead of FUSO (47/16), Hino (41/12), Mercedes-Benz (29/9), UD (27/7), DAF (25/8) and Iveco (19/7).

In the heavy trailer market, No. 1 Patchell (38/7) retained its YTD leadership, despite being topped in the March registrations by second-placed Fruehauf (31/9), fourth-placed Roadmaster (27/9) and Domett (20/9), which overtook TMC (19/6) for fifth.

MTE (28/7) remained third, while TES (12/2) held seventh, Transport Trailers (11/3) and Transfleet (11/4) were tied in eighth and Freighter (9/4) completed the top 10. T&D
