Well here it is the end of April and we are still getting storm warnings and snow every 3rd or 4th day. The fields around Saskatoon still have lots of snow and people are still out snowmobiling. The price of fuel seems to be going up and down every week. Everything you buy seems to be at an all time high price and going higher. The only constant is our wages. Most companies are being kept busy and are looking for more drivers. Driving schools are booked up most of the time but a lot of companies still will not take you without a year or two of experience. Our APNA Truck Show is coming next month, June 15 and 16, in Abbotsford. If you are in the area I would advise you to try and find time to take it in. We always get a good turnout and have some interesting companies with their displays. It is definitely worth seeing and the price is right, free admission. If you know of any thing that is trucking related and you feel should be advertised please let us know. We will do our best to help you with it. As an addition to our growing team, I would like to introduce Ken Hood. Ken is one of our Sales Directors and he is in Alberta. If you are looking to place an advertisement or just know him from the past, please contact Ken Hood at ken@coast2coastpages.com. or on his cell at 403-498-9222. I hope the rest of the spring season is nicer to us and I would like to wish you “Good Trucking.”

Licence class will ban 47,000 Ontario truckers from operating in USA “Most of them are actually faced with the restriction because they failed to file their medical reports on time” Mid-April, CBC TV reported that a new licence class could potentially ban close to 50,000 Ontario truckers from operating in the USA. Although it is not confirmed, the ban could be simply due to the fact that the majority of commercial drivers affected failed to file the required medical reports on time. The Ministry of Transportation has advised close to 47,000 commercial truck drivers across the province that a special medical restriction that bans them from driving in the United States will now be appearing on their driver’s licence. According to the Canada/U.S. Medical Reciprocity Agreement, commercial drivers with a history of serious medical conditions are to be issued a “W” code, or Class D licence. The ministry says it recently sent out letters to truckers notifying them of the change that goes into effect next month. According to a copy obtained by CBC, starting in May 2013, an indicator code “W” will be visible on a driver’s license card and on his or her driving record. But according to the CBC’s Mike Crawley, many
of those who have been slapped with the restriction simply haven’t submitted the required paperwork. “Most of them are actually faced with the restriction because they failed to file their medical reports on time,” said Crawley, adding that those records are required every 3 to 5 years. According to the ministry, approximately 41,000 people have had their licences downgraded to a W code for that reason. However, drivers who submit their medical records could potentially have the “W” code lifted from their licence. Ministry spokesperson Bob Nichols said commercial drivers with a hearing impairment, monocular vision, insulin-dependent diabetes, and/or a history of epilepsy or seizures all fall under the medical conditions requiring a code “W” licence be issued. Under the Canada/US Medical Reciprocity Agreement, U.S. commercial drivers are similarly issued a code “V” licence restricting them from driving north of the border.

Federal Budget’s
Transportation Highlights for 2013 Finance Minister Jim Flaherty revealed late this afternoon the details of the 2013 federal budget titled: Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Economic Action Plan. There were a number of positive developments related to border and road infrastructure in the document. Below are early highlights of the budget from a Canadian Trucking Alliance perspective: • Over $47 billion in new infrastructure spending over 10 years starting in 2014-15, for provincial, territorial and local infrastructure including $14 billion for a new Building Canada Fund to support major economic projects that have a national, regional and local significance. Specifically, the budget proposes to provide (a) up to $124.9 million to build a bridge-causeway between Nuns’ Island and the Island of Montreal; (b) $25 million over three years to advance the Windsor-Detroit crossing project; (c)$100 million for Stony Trail Ring Road in Calgary; (d) $705 million for completion of Phase II of highway 30 project in Quebec; (e) up to $365 million to support South Fraser Perimeter Road (Deltaport to TCH); (f ) twinning in Banff National Park $267 million; (g) $29.9 million for Highway 8 expansion in Kitchener. • Under the Beyond the Border Action Plan, the federal government over the next five years will commit to the following measures to improve border efficiency: (1) Upgrading border infrastructure at S-Bernard-deLacolle, Que., Lansdowne, Ont., Emerson, Man., and North Portal, Sask., and installing border wait-time technologies at key ports of entry; (2) Implementing a single window for companies to submit electronically all the data required by government departments for arriving shipments; (3) harmonized and enhanced benefits for trusted traders (FAST); (3) Equipping new custom facilities at the port of Vancouver and pilot projects at the ports of Prince Rupert and Montreal; (4) Developing and implementing pilot projects to automate small and remote ports of entry; (5) supporting
integrated cross-border law enforcement initiatives; (6) establishing and co-ordinating entry and exit information systems with the United States, including a system where the record of land entry into one country can be utilized to establish a record of exit from the other. • The government also proposes to implement other measures that facilitate the secure movement of people and goods and ensure that border processing is not a hindrance to legitimate trade and travel. • The creation of the Canada Job Grant. Under the new labour market agreements, provinces and territories will deliver the Canada Job Grant directly to businesses and Canadians, in addition to other training they provide. Businesses with a plan to train unemployed and underemployed Canadians for an existing job or better job will be eligible to apply for a Canada Job Grant. Canadians seeking training can, in partnership with an employer, benefit from the program. The Grant could provide $15,000 per person or more for training, which includes up to $5000 in federal contributions. Federal contributions must be matched by both provinces and employers. The Grant will be for short-duration training, and will include eligible training institutions, including community colleges, career colleges and trade union training centres. The detailed design of the Grant will be negotiated with provinces and territories over the next year, in consultation with stakeholder groups including employer associations, educational institutions and labour organizations. • Budget 2013 confirms the government’s intention to create a new and innovative ‘Expression of Interest” immigration management system. It will allow for Canadian employers, provinces and territories to select skilled immigrants from a pool of applicants that best meet Canada’s economic needs. The budget also announced that the government will take action to reform Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program to ensure that Canadians are given the first chance at available jobs.

working on Enhanced Truck Driver Training Standard The Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) will begin developing a minimum commercial driver training standard, including a special licence designation recognizing drivers who've met the new standard. AMTA executive director Don Wilson says the association plans to present the plan to the province later this year. “AMTA would like to see the province recognize commercial truck drivers with a special designation on their licence,” said AMTA executive director Don Wilson. “Professional drivers should meet a training standard to attain a professional designation and maintain that designation through continuing education.” Added AMTA president Dan Duckering: “Professional drivers undergo extensive training that goes well beyond what is required for a provincial licence. Yet at this time there is no recognition for that advanced training or the high-level of skill that professional drivers attain.”
AMTA has put together a stakeholder committee which will help develop the new standard. The committee wont reestablish qualifications for a Class 1 licence, but instead will develop a professional designation for those who transport goods for-hire, the association announced. “Albertans will benefit from minimum commercial training standards for commercial drivers too,” said Wilson. “Setting a minimum standard will enhance road safety across the board and make driving a more attractive occupation for career seekers. We have targeted the fall to deliver a proposal to the minister. The committee has set out to determine what a minimum standard should consist of, to find a standard acceptable to all stakeholders and to outline what continuing education of commercial drivers will include.” “As an industry, we know that possessing a Class 1 licence does not make an individual a professional driver ready for employment,” said Wilson

Use of eLogs increased dramatically The percentage of carriers using electronic logs (elogs) on all their trucks increased dramatically -- from 25 per cent in May 2012 to 35 per cent of carriers in February 2013, according to Transport Capital Partners’ (TCP) First Quarter 2013 Business Expectations Survey. Two-thirds of responding carriers are already testing or utilizing elogs on their trucks and another 10 percent of carriers are considering he technology but have yet to make the transition. Seventyone percent of smaller carriers are still not utilizing elogs, however, while 43 per cent of larger carriers have all their trucks on elogs. “Carriers we have spoken with who have fully implemented elogs in their operations report improved CSA scores,” notes Steven Dutro, TCP partner. Almost 50 per cent of drivers have changed their hiring standards changed their incentive programs for clean inspections in a bid improve CSA scores. “The industry continues to report adjusting to CSA, but in varying degrees and still with some controversy over reporting,” says Richard Mikes, TCP partner. Carriers report the number of shippers who are concerned about carrier CSA scores increased slightly, from 79 percent to 84 percent since May of 2012. “The cost of compliance, along with decreasing productivity, the corresponding decrease in driver earnings, and the planned tightening of hours-of-S\service rules are part of the regulatory burden which has both directly and indirectly impacted carriers,” says Mikes.
Freightliner recalls 46,000 Cascadia According to a March 18 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Daimler Trucks North America — parent company of Freightliner Trucks — has issued a recall 46,000 2013 and 2013 year model Freightliner Cascadia trucks produced between May 7, 2012, and March 2, 2013. The affected trucks have glitches that cause daytime running lights to become non-functional at points after the turn signal function is activated. The turn signal and daytime running lights share a light. Failure of the daytime running lights to properly illuminate “reduces visibility to other drivers and increases the risk of a vehicle crash,” says the NHTSA’s report. Daimler says it is in the process of notifying all parties affected — including truck owners — and will have notified everyone by May 15. The remedy to the recall is still unclear, NHTSA says. Truck owners may contact DTNA at 1-800-547-0712.

Carriers will be impacted by US Food Safety Regulations Sweeping reforms to US food safety regulations are on the horizon, including requirements for trucking companies transporting food in the United States. A panel discussion last week at the Technology and Maintenance Council in Nashville served to remind carriers that in late 2011, the US passed the Food Safety Modernization Act to strengthen its capacity to prevent the spread of foodborne illness. The approach follows a “farm to fork” continuum, where every partner in the food production and supply chain – from farmers, to processors to retail, and everyone in between, including trucking companies – assume obligations and responsibility for their actions. Most notably, the Act called for the publication of regulations on the safe transportation of food, which will impact US domestic carriers as well as Canadian carriers moving food products into or out of the United States. Draft regulations on food transportation have not yet been issued, but it seems quite clear from reading the Act and from material issued by the US government that a preventative approach will be adopted based on HACCP principles. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point methodology, developed for the US space program, is designed to identify critical control points where food could become contaminated, introduce rigorous monitoring of processes and procedures, and outline corrective actions to be implemented when it appears that safety has been compromised. The methodology is widely used throughout the world, and forms the basis of many industry-developed food safety programs developed with the support of the Government of Canada. The Canadian Trucking Alliance is one organization that has developed a food safety program for its members using Canadian HACCP principles. With financial support from the federal government, the Trucking Food Safety Program (TFSP) was developed several years ago to help carriers meet their clients more demanding food safety requirements. Over the past year CTA, assisted by a carrier advisory committee, introduced several modifications to the program to bring it up to date and, most notably, automate the entire process for carriers. The automated system will be tested by several advisory committee members over the next several months. In addition, the entire program will be submitted to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s rigorous Technical Review process. Canadian carriers who have introduced a HACCP-based program should be well-placed to comply with the upcoming US regulations. Carriers wanting further information on the Trucking Food Safety Program can contact CTA’s Ron Lennox at ron.lennox@cantruck.ca

FBI and IRS Raid
Pilot Flying J’s Corporate Headquarters According to a recent article on the Fleet Owner Magazine website, Pilot Flying J is under federal investigation. It was reported on April 17, 2013 that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) raided the Knoxville, TN, corporate headquarters of Pilot Flying J as part of an ongoing investigation believed to center on unpaid customer rebates. Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam said two search warrants were served on the company and several subpoenas were issued, including some to members of the company’s sales staff. Haslam said the company has 23 sales people and approximately 3,300 trucking companies with whom Pilot Flying J does regular business. According to Haslam, son of the company’s founder Jim Haslam, all 480 truck stops are operating normally,
despite the criminal investigation. “This is a great company. It was Sunday night, it was last night, and it will be going forward,” he said. “We were all shocked by the events of yesterday…Pilot Flying J value number-one is to do the right thing all the time and we steadfastly believe we have done that.” According to Haslam, the investigation appears to be centered on, “a very insignificant number of customers and the application of rebates; that rebates that were owed to the customers were not paid. We, of course, disagree with that.” Haslam said the company is cooperating fully with the investigation. On behalf of the FBI’s Knoxville office, Marshall Stone, FBI spokesman, told WBIR-TV that the FBI could not comment on the investigation, but confirmed that it jointly involved the IRS. Haslam is not worried though, saying that, “The support we have gotten from our trucking company customers has been, candidly, overwhelming. You always wonder about something like this and the reputational hit you might take… we have reached out to almost every trucking company, and many called us It is with great pleasure that we announce Quick Truck Lube’s last night and showed support.” Accord8th annual customer appreciation day being held on July 12, 2013. ing to Haslam, the investigation does not It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend our event. It will involve any state or federal tax issues. be held between 9am and The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported 5pm. Please mark this day that Haslam had rejoined Pilot Flying J in on your calendar for Quick February after stepping down last year Truck Lube.
