TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE

There are many sayings like the one above: two heads are better than one; many hands make light work; and there is no “I” in team. They all share the same message that, in most aspects of life or work, working together usually results in greater results. Yes, granted there are some who may become successful working alone; however, it’s pretty rare.

This concept of a team is not only beneficial to business owners, but is effective for workers as well; for decades, unions have worked for the greater good of the collective workforce, whether it be nurses, teachers, or other public employees.

Even though there is no regulated trucking union, truckers have joined together to form associations to address the issues in the Canadian trucking industry. And so far, lobbying from these groups has made a difference. From improving certain roads to rallying to improve truck stop washrooms, working towards common

goals has been effective. Still, more needs to be done.

As we look towards warmer weather, Ray Gompf talks about the importance of proper tires for your trucking needs. His article discusses how it’s no longer just installing any tire on your truck or trailer; there’s a science behind choosing the best ones based on your needs.

Safety is always a hot topic in our industry and this issue features many articles that deal with safety, including legislation, poor safety practices, and ways to improve it.

As we move through 2023, keep in mind that working together as part of an effective team or partnership can be beneficial for you and your company. Learn from the positive actions of others while working on your flaws. Yes, it’s easier said than done, but keep working at it.

Choosing the Right Tire for Your Route

The tires you use is as critically important to the safe operation of your truck as the training and experience you have accrued over hundreds of thousands of miles. The condition of the roads, the type of road surface, and the weather have a significant influence on the longevity of your tires equally to the condition and maintenance you put into your truck and the insurance you buy to protect your trucking business.

The various road surfaces have an effect on your tires. Basically, in North America, most road surfaces are either black top asphalt or concrete. Black top asphalt is used in the more northerly climes because it expands and contracts without the upheavals that can happen with cement. Cement is used more southerly because it tends not to absorb heat as much as blacktop. Yes, the road surface temperatures can affect the longevity of your tires.

Rubber compounded tires for summer use provide good road adhesion above seven degrees Celsius, while rubber compounded tires for winter use provide much better road adhesion below seven degrees Celsius. Adhesion to the road is essential to remaining on that part of the road where you want to be. Without sound adhesion, you would not stop when

and where needed. Braking and steering may not be achieved as you want. Tires are what attach you to the road.

So basically, you choose your tires based on the surfaces on which you travel based on the seasons, whether north or south.

One of the other issues related to tires is wear patterns. Wear patterns can help diagnose repairable problems either from the driver’s lack of knowledge or solvable mechanical problems. Some of the repairable issues can be as simple as adding or removing air pressure. Alignment issues are quickly reported by wear patterns and close observation at each daily vehicle inspection. Issues like cupping, diagonal gouging, feathering or flat spotting should require a diagnostic trip to your tire shop for professional opinions.

Don’t forget about the fastening devices applying clamping force attaching wheels to vehicle. It’s not just ensuring lug nuts are attaching and continue to be attaching the wheels and tires to the vehicle; it’s about the grip strength of said lug nuts. Usually, this is done by using a torque wrench to reach the specified torque without over torquing, which weakens the connection. This connection

is where while making it, cleanliness is absolutely necessary. The addition of a tiny bit of lubricant on the lug is also essential for maximum clamping power.

Buying cheap tires to save money is like stopping the clock to save time. By the same token, the most expensive does not necessarily mean the best for your situation. Buy tires with the full knowledge of the terrain over which you’ll travel, the weights at which you’ll often load them, and the specific compound depending on the temperatures you’ll be facing.

The factors to be considered on purchasing are many and varied but by describing your needs to the tire specialist, you will wind up with the tire that best suits the majority of terrain in which you’ll find yourself. Tires represent a significant investment for fleets and small business trucking operators. It's usually the third largest expense behind insurance and fuel, and when it comes to tire wear, those frequent daily inspections are the critical first line of defence.

Every one of the multiple driver’s daily inspections should be much more than just thumping the tires. That inspection should include a comprehensive tire examination. During those inspections,

G. RAY GOMPF, CD

rubbing their hands on the tires to check for any feathering, cupping, diagonal wear or overheating and looking for foreign objects and removing such materials attached to tires are crucial. Nails or screws puncturing should NOT be removed until the puncture can be immediately fixed. That puncture should be marked on the tire, so the search doesn’t have to be redone when removal and repair is affected.

Tires quickly expose bad driving habits and poor tire care. Tires easily can indicate driver practices such as brake skids or lack of correct inflation. Tires will also tell the skilled eye when the driver overuses the power steering while stopped.

I recall, not fondly, having both steering tires replaced at a tire shop as planned, then the first trip with those brand-new steering tires, I managed to get about 150 kilometres along the highway when I stopped. As I got out of the truck and was doing the quick walk around, the left steering tire had a king size bulge

and if I did, he wanted to see it. When the tire shop boss arrived, he was aghast. It turned out these particular tires were directional tires and had been installed on the wrong direction. Not only did he have one tire to change but the second steer tire would have collapsed within a few more kilometres and thus, was replaced also. Re-torquing is not the only reason to stop and check things out when the wheels have been removed. Image if I had not stopped and the bulge had blown out and I had lost control.

Trucks have three different uses for tires. Each position requirement requires its own engineering and really isn’t built to be working in another position. Steering tires are for steering, drive tires are for moving the truck along, and trailer tires are for trailers. Essentially, tires built for a specific purpose and position should not be used, except in an emergency, for a position or purpose it wasn’t designed to do. Each tire position may have a different tread pattern or even look similar but have their own uses, nonetheless.

training sessions, tires get less importance; yet it’s those same tires on which drivers depend for their life. Over my career, I’ve spent many hours attending sessions learning about the importance of tires, how the tires need to be used, how best to ensure the longevity of those tires, the difference between torque and clamping force attaching wheels by lug studs and lug nuts, whether those lugs and nuts should be dry fit or lubricated and so many things not taught specifically but so necessary to be poured into the knowledge pool and not just for the specialist who does the job but as a driver who has to depend on jobs being done correctly by other. After all, the liability always falls on the driver when catastrophe strikes. It behooves the driver to educate him or herself to the point where they can be a large part of the diagnostic process with a confidence based on experience and knowledge. Driving is not steering and shifting gears but studying the intricacies of the particular truck they drive and knowing it so intimately they can identify issues before they happen by smell, by sight, by feel, by sound and relate those

A free program that trains women in the Lower Mainland to become truck drivers is getting a funding boost from the province.

The YWCA's Changing Gears Program has received $1.6 million from B.C.'s Community and Employer Partnerships program, which will allow up to 50 more women to undergo training for a career as a truck driver, according to a news release issued in February.

"More women will get the chance to train for good jobs that are in demand,” said Sheila Malcomson, Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction in a media release Friday.

“This training program removes barriers for women who want to drive trucks and it gets employers qualified workers.”

The 24-week program is open to women who are unemployed, with a Class 5 licence and a clean driving abstract, according to the YWCA's website. Initial training in Vancouver is followed by instruction at a licensed driving school with locations across

the region. On-the-job training is also provided.

According to Trucking HR Canada's November 2022 Labour Market Snapshot, only 3.5 per cent of truck drivers in Canada are women and demand for qualified drivers – already in short supply -- is set to surge due to an aging workforce.

In B.C., 12,300 vacancies in the sector are projected over the next 10 years, the vast majority of which will be due to openings created by the need to replace retiring drivers.

"We know we need the talent and potential of more British Columbians to fill future job needs, which is why with improved training initiatives we are working to close the skills gap that has left too many women out of high-demand jobs that pay well,” said Kelli Paddon, Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity in Friday's statement.

Pilot and Flying J Stations to Get Fast Chargers for EV Trucks

Electrification of transport is reaching a new stage at which also long-range electric trucks will join the party at scale. This will require a proper public fast-charging infrastructure along major routes.

Soon, we might see high-power DC fast chargers for mediumand heavy-duty electric vehicles, installed at major travel centers across the US.

A sign of that is the recently announced strategic partnership between Volvo Group and Pilot Company, which operates more than 750 Pilot and Flying J locations across North America (covering 44 US states and six Canadian provinces).

According to a Letter of Intent (LOI) signed by the two partners in November, they will combine their

expertise to identify locations to be prioritized for high-performance charging, based on customer and driver needs, current and anticipated battery-electric truck density, and the availability of public funding to support infrastructure costs.

It's not yet known how many chargers and what type of chargers will be installed - currently, EV trucks are often using the CCS Combo 1 connector, but in the future, they are expected to move to be equipped with the upcoming Megawatt Charging System (MCS).

Shameek Konar, CEO of Pilot Company said:

“Volvo Group’s proven expertise in electric trucks combined with our nationwide travel center network and robust energy platform leverages our respective knowledge and resources to advance the nation’s charging infrastructure. We look forward

to working together to develop a holistic solution for electrified fleets, further enabling the transportation industry’s energy transition.”

Volvo Group offers electric trucks in North America through two brands: Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks. The Volvo VNR Electric model is already available in the second model iteration with an enhanced battery capacity of 565 kilowatt-hour (kWh) and a range of up to 275 miles (442 km).

Meanwhile, Mack produces Class 8 Mack LR Electric refuse trucks with a 376 kWh battery.

Both manufacturers are expected to expand their EV lineup, but they must ensure that fleets that are looking to adopt battery-electric trucks, will have peace of mind in terms of charging infrastructure.

Get a Good Accountant

As a person that finances equipment, each year when January rolls around it becomes stressful for me and for clients. It’s because banks and leasing companies start demanding financial statements of the previous year, and literally the year end was just days ago. It takes weeks for accounting firms to produce statements, and it becomes a nightmare as the equipment sits on a dealership lot ready to go, and no one has the capability to pay for it.

I tell companies all the time to do one simple thing; that is to get interim financial statements done quarterly. If you plan to borrow money, this is essential. If your accountant is doing quarterly statements as you go, producing the last quarter of the year will go so much faster. Instead of weeks, you will have your statements in a few days for the entire year. Cost wise, the accountant will be doing the statements for the year regardless, so either way it gets done with the time spent, but just staggered.

Getting financing when about half to three quarters of the financial year has passed is usually the banks demanding something current. If you had done the quarterly statements, you simply forward them. If you have not, now a few weeks or more will pass while the accountant does them, and your equipment sits on a dealership lot not making you any money. The loss of money with unused equipment is far greater cost than paying the accountant quarterly.

When purchasing used equipment from an auction or a person or company, the financing becomes very stressful. An auction usually wants funds in a week. When your accounting is not up to date, you are

in danger of losing the equipment to the auction house. I also see people selling their equipment and when told the potential buyers have weeks before they can pay, the seller leaves. I don’t blame the seller at all. Why should they wait weeks for payment, when they can sell to a cash buyer right away or sell to someone who has their accounting up to date and can pay much sooner?

I know a person who has not filed taxes in the ten years I have known him. I told him each year to get his accounting in order. He didn’t listen. I explained it would be much easier to pay his taxes each year, then a huge sum later. He is now facing a sixfigure tax bill. He needs the money to pay the tax agency and cannot qualify for a loan because he has no income statements to show a bank. At one point he bought a home as an investment. Because he had no current taxes done and didn’t qualify for any mortgage, his friend had to come into the deal as a partner and get the house under his own name with a high interest rate. If my friend does not put his name on the home, his partner friend can literally sell the home and take all profits earned. I think the situation is just uncalled for and risky to his family and worse, to his children. This is all because he refuses to file his taxes each year.

As I write this article in early February, I have multiple clients who have not done their taxes and cannot pick up their equipment. One has had a new trailer sitting at the dealership since before Christmas, and he is unable to pick it up to use it because his taxes are not done. Another client has seven trailers sitting, with 2 more coming. He is getting his taxes completed the 3rd week of February he hopes, so seven weeks after they

PASH BRAR

were requested from the accountant. I have another client with two trailers sitting. They called each week for the last few months asking when their trailers were coming out of the factory saying they needed them as soon as possible, and each time they called were told to get their paperwork ready for when the trailers do arrive. Now the trailers have arrived, and they did not do the paperwork and the trailers are sitting unused awaiting payment. What gets me is that each client was told well over a month before the trailers were even built, that they were coming soon so get your paperwork in order. Yet not one of them did anything. This is only a small sample; there are many other procrastinators that are in the same situation.

All I can say is equipment that is sitting at a dealership looking pretty and shiny is not doing anything to help anyone in trucking. Unused equipment is not making anyone any money, including the dealership who is angry they haven’t been paid. So, from this please learn to do your financial statements for your company quarterly. You will make a lot more money that way because you have use of the equipment a month or two sooner when financing it. If you are an owner operator or company driver or anyone with a job, you should also be filing your taxes as early as possible each year especially if you plan to lease equipment, buy a car or purchase property. Even if you aren’t going to apply for a loan, getting a tax refund should be an incentive as well. So please find a good accountant. One that calls you themselves requesting your paperwork so they can file your taxes for you on time. A good accountant is indispensable!

Another Truck Hits Overpass – This Time in Richmond, BC

The scene is becoming all too common in the Lower Mainland of BC; another commercial vehicle has hit an overpass. This time, the incident took place in the southbound lane of Knight Street during the morning commute.

According to Richmond RCMP, on February 10th, “it was determined that a commercial vehicle was towing a dump trailer in the raised position and it failed to clear the overpass. The commercial vehicle was located some distance away, as it was severed from the trailer unit, which was still lodged underneath the overpass.”

Knight Street, a major artery connecting Vancouver to Richmond, was closed for many hours while police investigated the incident. Thankfully, no one was injured.

According to police and the Richmond Road Safety Unit, which has taken over the investigation along with the CVSE, the driver of the commercial vehicle is not cooperating with investigators.

JAG DHATT

According to experts in commercial vehicle safety, this accident was completely avoidable. Either the driver did not conduct a proper pre-trip inspection or a safety mechanism in the vehicle was not operating.

Continental Seafood Restaurant

My friend had taken a week off from work and said she wanted to go for lunch during her time off. Originally, we were supposed to do lunch before Christmas, but it was the time of a big snowstorm, so we decided to postpone instead of sitting on a bridge for 12 hours trapped, like some unfortunate locals. The dealership I work with is building a new location and I said I heard The Northern Café is right near it, so let’s go check that out. I figured it would be the new hang out for us, and the VP and owner of the dealership had said it was a good spot.

My friend arrived first and called me. She said there was no parking for the Northern Café and to park on the nearest cross street. As I was about to arrive, she called again and said it was a one hour wait. It was 11am on a weekday and I was shocked. We decided not to wait and agreed to try dim sum instead. My friend suggested Continental and we drove from south Vancouver over to Richmond.

It was about 11:30am when we arrived, and we both easily found parking spots. The restaurant is in a strip mall with a Shoppers Drug Mart and a dollar store and other businesses. We entered the restaurant and were immediately sat down, and the manager said ice water and tea were coming. My friend explained that this is one of few dim sum restaurants where you choose food from rolling carts instead of a menu. After covid she said most of the places doing rolling carts, had stopped.

Our tea arrived and we began choosing food from the carts. My friend is Chinese, so it was nice to have her speaking on our behalf in Cantonese. We chose savory items first and ended with a few sweeter items. We had steamed pork and shrimp dumplings which are always a favorite of mine, steamed shrimp dumplings, pork spring rolls, deep fried crab claws, soya sauce chow mein, pan fried shrimp and chive cake and some boiled choy sum greens with garlic and oyster sauce. We were served Worcestershire sauce for dipping and hot sauce. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the crab claw and the soya sauce chow mein noodles.

We then chose to go sweeter and had BBQ pork pastry. The filling was on the sweeter side and I found this dish quite heavy, but delicious. We then ended with a dish I had never had, which was a tofu pudding. It was hot and the server poured a ginger sugar syrup on top. I enjoyed this and was really stuffed.

One thing I learned during lunch was about communal chop sticks. I had never noticed that one set of chop sticks was a different color on the table in any past dim sum visits. These are to be used only to serve yourself the various dishes with. They were white in color in this case. The other chop sticks, which were brown, you are to use to eat with. I had never known this and was glad to learn, so in the future I hope I don’t offend anyone. I told a few friends and they said they didn’t know either, so I’m glad to know this.

Our bill was not a small one. A little much for lunch at $100 before taxes. But I think it was worth it considering there was a lot of seafood. I noticed as we were leaving, there was a wall of photos with a lot of past and present politicians. My friend explained the restaurant is often used for political fundraisers and get togethers. I decided right then and there that one day I would get my photo on the wall. Look out for me Continental! I’m definitely coming back to claim a spot on the wall! As we left, we were being stalked for our parking spots. The parking lot was a nightmare of people wanting to park and people just randomly walking around. It was entertaining when you already have a spot, but frustrating if you are the person driving around and around looking for a spot and dodging the pedestrians.

I really enjoyed my dim sum experience and had not had dim sum since prior to Covid. I really appreciated having the rolling cart dim sum I’m used to instead of ordering from a menu. It’s a shame these places are disappearing. I went a few days after Chinese New Year and realized how much I had missed the New Years festival for the past few years and the fun of trying new foods with my good Chinese friends. I’m glad .everything is getting back to normal since Covid began. You’ll see me back at this restaurant again for sure. I highly recommend it and I will leave a lasting mark once I get my photo on that wall!

Peterbilt and Platform Science to Build a New Ecosystem of Connected Products

Peterbilt announced that it will develop a new ecosystem of connected products for its industry-leading vehicles. The initiative will be under the umbrella of the cooperation agreement recently signed between Platform Science, Inc. and Peterbilt parent company PACCAR Inc.

The new services will leverage Platform Science's Virtual Vehicle™ platform which enables customers to access fleet management functionality, ELD capabilities, truck-specific navigation and third-party applications directly from their vehicles.

Peterbilt leverages technology and innovation, and will jointly build this industry-leading ecosystem to take our connectivity services to the next level. “Today’s customers demand the highest level of uptime and complete integration with their existing fleet management

solution” commented Jason Skoog, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “SmartLINQ and the PACCAR Solutions portal have provided a solid foundation to build this next-generation solution” Skoog added.

“With Virtual Vehicle, truck buyers can eliminate barriers to innovation, production, and safety and customize in-cab experiences with technology solutions that best meet their needs,” said Jack Kennedy, co-founder & CEO, Platform Science. “For more than 80 years, Peterbilt has built worldclass vehicles that maximize safety, performance and uptime, combining innovative technology with enduring craftmanship. We are proud to collaborate with their team to integrate the Virtual Vehicle platform into their trucks and deliver the most cuttingedge truck technology to meet their customers’ every need.”

The Platform Science ecosystem will eventually allow for third-party apps to be downloaded and managed remotely or directly on the truck interface, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming after-market hardware wiring and installation. “The new services will leverage the existing connectivity solutions of our heavyand medium-duty truck platforms” added Bart Lore, senior director Global Connected Services, “thanks to the new app ecosystem, Peterbilt vehicles will take a quantum leap integration to existing fleet management solutions” added Lore.

The new suite of services will launch in 2024 with class 8 Models 579 and 567 and the medium-duty Models 548, 537, 536 and 535. Multiple service packages will be available depending on the truck model and intended application.

Commercial Vehicles Must Install Real Time -Tracking Device in BC

The province says all of B.C.'s commercial vehicle fleet operators have six months to implement changes to how and when provincially regulated drivers clock on and off work.

Starting Aug. 1, all commercial vehicle carriers will be required to install electronic logging devices (ELDs) to track drivers' time behind the wheel, a move the transportation ministry says should improve road safety.

In a statement Monday, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said provincially regulated carriers will have six months to install the ELDs across their fleets.

Minister Rob Fleming says the

ELDs should reduce the likelihood of drivers operating commercial vehicles while tired.

"Using technology to ensure that commercial drivers aren't on the road longer than they should be on a given day will protect their safety and the safety of others on B.C. highways," said Fleming.

According to B.C.'s Motor Vehicle Act regulations, a commercial carrier must not request, require or allow a driver to continue operating a vehicle for more than 13 hours at a time, unless the driver takes at least eight consecutive hours of time off before getting behind the wheel again.

The B.C. Trucking Association has long supported the use of

ELDs and says the move will increasing compliance with the MVA regulations.

"While there is no single fix for improved safety performance, a widespread requirement for technology that automates compliance and helps to promote effective safety programs will transform the industry for the better," said Dave Earle, president and CEO of the B.C. Trucking Association.

The shift follows federal ELD regulations, which Transport Canada established for the inter-provincial trucking sector in 2021. Enforcement of those regulations began in January this year.

Volvo Trucks Electromobility Ecosystem Surpasses 25 Certified EV Dealerships

Volvo Trucks North America has surpassed an important milestone in preparing its national dealer network to support customers with the deployment of its zero-tailpipe emission Volvo VNR Electric model. More than twenty-five dealer locations across North America have now completed the rigorous Volvo Trucks Certified Electric Vehicle (EV) Dealer program that was designed to ensure a comprehensive ecosystem of customer support for heavy-duty battery electric vehicle adoption.

“Volvo Trucks is leading the deployment of Class 8 batteryelectric trucks across North America by collaborating with our dealer network to provide customers comprehensive sales and service support,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “Selling the truck is only part of the equation; it takes an entire support ecosystem to successfully transition to battery-electric trucks. Without our dealer partners, accelerating the shift towards the widespread commercial adoption of electric vehicles would not be possible.”

The Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealer program was designed as part of the Volvo LIGHTS project, during which TEC Equipment, Volvo Trucks’ largest West Coast dealer group, supported the first Volvo VNR Electric demonstration trucks in 2020. TEC Equipment’s Fontana location in Southern California helped to build the framework for the certification program and was the first dealership to achieve the certification and just recently certified its fourth location in Portland, Oregon.

In February of this year, Volvo Trucks announced certified EV dealers in 15 states — California, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia — and three Canadian provinces — British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Volvo Trucks is on track to certify numerous additional dealer locations across North America in 2023 as it progresses toward its goal of building a robust coast-to-coast dealer support network for battery-electric trucks.

TransLink Begins Bus Electrification

It was only a matter of time that TransLink, South Coast BC’s recognized public transportation authority, would add electrified vehicles to its fleet. And now, it has.

According to TransLink, the new LFSe+ battery-electric bus, manufactured by Nova Bus, is now on the streets of metro Vancouver. In addition to this first new electric bus, TransLink plans to add a total of 15 LFSe+ battery electric buses, which will reduce over 1,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

TransLink already has 4 older electric buses on its fleet, but they have a much lower range and take longer to charge.

The new buses offer the following benefits:

• Can travel over 150km on a single charge (4x further than the current models).

• Can top up its battery for the next trip via overhead chargers in less than 5 minutes.

• Will save TransLink $40,000 in fuel costs annually.

• With the use of new lighter

seats, each bus will be 150 pounds lighter, increasing range.

When all 19 buses are in service by early 2024, the 100 22nd Street Station/Marpole Loop route will become the first fully electrified bus route.

According to TransLink’s Climate Action Strategy, 400 battery-electric buses will be added to the fleet by 2030; there will be a transition to a zero-emission bus fleet by 2040, and become net-zero in all operations by 2050.
