inally, the warmer days are here. Across our nation, there were unseasonal days that made us think, “Will fair weather not grace us soon?” Just a couple of weeks ago, while attending Truck World, we were (not) blessed with an unseasonable ice storm. Not what we were looking forward to – now, however, the clouds have begun to clear, bringing sunny skies, dry roads, and warmer weather. And for truckers, this is a definite welcome. Last month, a tragedy rocked Canada, when the team bus of the Humboldt Broncos collided with a semi truck. Many people lost their lives, while those who survived will have physical and emotional injuries to deal with. One victim that gets neglected is the driver of the semi truck, who, we have learned, has been devastated by the accident. There has been no conclusion of what caused this terrible accident, but regardless, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. In addition to our coverage of lubricants as our feature article, there are many other topics that are on the forefront of the transport industry. One of these is ELDs, which at this time, is crucial as its implementation comes to the USA before Canada. We would encourage you to send us your thoughts, views, and experiences with ELDs so that we can share these concerns with our readers through our various platforms. For all of our readers and supporters, be safe on the road. And of course, enjoy the warmer days.

Should I get service from a dealer or independent SAE Number 20 through 50 are defined by their minimum shop? Do different lubricants really make a difference? and maximum cSt taken at 98.8°C. SAE 5W, 10W, 15W and 20W are “winter” service numbers and are described by their To really get to the heart of the matter, it’s better to understand the minimum and maximum centipoise at -18°C as determined by the science and history of lubricants. Only then, can an owner make the cold crank simulator. The “15W” number is the newest addition best decision for his or her truck for his or her purposes. Each lubricant has a specific task. Each crude oil from which to the system, being added by SAE at the request of some diesel the lubricant is refined has its own properties. It is as critically engine manufacturers and European automobile manufacturers.

It does no good to just grab a lubricant from the In 1947, The American Petroleum Institute (API) - Jag Dhatt adopted a system that divided motor oils into three shelf and expect that lubricant is going to solve the classes, depending on the properties of the oil.

• Premium Type - contained oxidation inhibitors • Heavy Duty Type - contained oxidation inhibitors plus detergent/dispersant additive. This early system did not allow for the differences between gasoline and diesel engines, nor did it allow for different driving conditions such as cold weather “start and stop” operation. Consequently, API developed a new system in 1952. It included three classifications for gasoline engines: ML, MM and MS; and three classifications for diesel engines: DG, DM and DS. In 1969 and 1970, a joint effort by SAE, API and the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) developed the presently used API Classification System. This system set test criteria using standardized laboratory engine testing and allows for future changes in motor oil requirements by offering an “open-ended” system. This system was formally adopted in 1970. It provided four gasoline classification: SA, SB, SC and SC; and four diesel classifications: CA, CB, CC and CD. In late 1970, classification SE was added to the system. As the result of severity problems in field service, the latest classification, SF, was added to the system in 1980. A few years ago, the CE classification for diesel engine oils was added. In 1955, the Caterpillar Tractor Company established their own specification called “Series 3”. This specification qualified an engine oil for severe diesel service. The US Military added one gasoline engine test to the “Series 3” requirements and established MIL-L45199B. This is equivalent to API Service Classification CD. In November 1970, two new military specifications were issued and all previous specifications became obsolete. These are the basic current military specifications: • MIL-L-46152 required the diesel engine testing of the old MIL-L=2104B specification plus the gasoline engine testing required of API Service SE engine oil. The addition of multi-viscosity grades of oil and the new SF requirements have been added to the current specification MIL-L-46152B. This specification is designed for non-tactical “post” vehicles. It is equivalent to API Service Classifications SF and CC. • MIL-L-2104D requires the diesel engine testing of the old MIL-L-45199B (Series 3) plus some gasoline engine testing that places the gasoline engine service of the oil somewhere between API Service SC and SD. The MIL-L-2104D oil is designated for tactical “combat” vehicles. Since it is basically a diesel engine oil it is usually thought of as equivalent to API Service Classification CD. Caterpillar Tractor Company and General Motors were the first engine builders to approve compounded oils on the basis of satisfactory performance in laboratory engine tests, dating back to 1939. Caterpillar developed its Caterpillar Superior Lubricants Series 1 and Series 2 specifications. In 1955, Caterpillar issued the well-known Series 3

specification. This specification was adopted by the Department of the Army for incorporation into their military specification for diesel engine oil. Caterpillar discontinued the practice of issuing formal specifications in October 1972, opting to recommend MIL-L-2104C motor oils for their engines. Caterpillar uses API Service Classification system as the basis for their engines as do the other major diesel engine manufacturers, except Mack Trucks. Because Caterpillar recommends API Service CD motor oils for their power shift transmissions, they also require this oil to pass their T-3 friction test. Detroit Diesel recommends the use of API Service CC motor oil when operation is with fuels containing less than 0.5% sulfur. When continued use of fuels which contain over 0.5% sulfur is unavoidable, API Service CD motor oils are recommended. Detroit Diesel further stipulates the API Service CC motor oil should contain a maximum of 1.65% sulfated ash. All motor oils recommended by Detroit Diesel will have a minimum of 0.07% zinc. Detroit Diesel would not recommend multi-grade oils in their engines until September 1978. At that time, they revised their 7SE 270 specification to allow for a multi-graded oil. This technical bulletin states very clearly the only multi-grade recommended is an SAE 15W40 which is API Service SE.CD and which conforms to the sulfated ash and zinc requirement outlined above. Cummins Engine Company recommends API Service CD, CC for their turbocharged engine and API Service CC for their naturally aspirated engines. For either type engine used in “Stop and go” service, Cummins recommends API Service SC/CC (SD or SE may replace the SC) Cummins also recommends that the engine oils have a maximum of 1.85% sulfated ash. Mack Trucks prefers to specify motor oils in terms of their own engine test performance. The Mack EO-J performance specification issued in October 1976, based on performance in the Mack T-5 engine test allows the use of an SAE 15W40 multigrade oil. EO-J specifies a maximum of 1.85% sulphated ash. In addition, Mack has issued the EO-K specification based upon the T-6 engine test. The EO-K specification has superseded EO-J. The current market trend appears to be toward multi-graded diesel engine oils which afford the consumer the same convenience expected from multi-graded gasoline engine oils.

for multi-grades diesel engine oils, but they are not as concerned about the exact multi-grade numbers as the required performance characteristics. Mack and Detroit Diesel feel very strongly toward SAE 15W40. Because many diesel truck operators own a variety of engine, many of the are using SAE 15W40 in all their diesel engines. It should be noted that several diesel engine manufacturers are concerned about the ash content of engine oil. Sulfated ash is the measure of the metallic ash that will be formed when an oil containing metal additives is burned in the combustion chamber of an engine. Some manufacturers have a problem with ash deposits forming on the exhaust valve face. These deposits tend to chip off forming a gutter through which hot exhaust gasses escape. A 1% sulfated ash level seems to satisfy most manufacturers; however, Caterpillar prefers a 1% to 1.5% level and Allison Chalmers prefers a 1.5% sulfated ash minimum. In the end, what is the best lubricant for your truck? There really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy answer to this question because it depends a variety of factors, some of which include driving environment, truck make, Hours of Service requirements, climate, manufacturer requirements, and yes, even driving habits. Speak with your dealer, service manager or even professionals who have been in the industry for some time. With the availability of the Internet, there is lots of information available at your fingertips. One thing to keep in mind, of course, is to keep up with regular maintenance, for all lubrication requirements for your truck. Proper and regular lubrication is vital for the longevity of your vehicle. Your truck puts food on your table, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess with the requirements.

Whole life is often an insurance type people shy away from because of the price. It is expensive for one reason; It HAS to pay. The insurance company MUST pay your beneficiary the amount of the policy. I will use the same example of the 35 year old non smoking male. For a $1 million whole life policy which pays off in 20 years, so a whole life 20 policy; the payments will be approximately $1,000 a month. That seems like a huge sum and that is why people often decline it due to affordability. However, if you pay in the whole $240,000 over 20 years the policy becomes paid in full and no further payment is made. The insured person is now covered for life. We all die so the insurance company will pay your beneficiary $1 million tax free. So what investment out there will quadruple your money? Whole life insurance! With certain types of life insurance policies, the death benefit can increase in value over time. Participating life is one of these types. Participating life insurance is a policy that pays annual dividends from the profits of the insurance company. These dividends are not guaranteed but based on statistics from the last 100 years, historically insurance companies have issued a dividend even in the worst of economic times. There are a few options for payment of these dividends, but we will choose a 3 month old female baby for $250,000 of coverage as an example and a 20 year payment term. Again the policy will be paid in full after 20 years to cover the baby for the rest of her life, and for a dividend option we will choose paid up additions. A paid up addition means the dividend paid is used to get more insurance coverage, so the $250,000 you started with will increase over time. Payments will be approximately $250 a month. Over the 20 years you will put in about $60,000 and the policy is paid in full. So you’re thinking that’s not bad, put in $60,000 and my child’s beneficiary will receive $250,000. That is a great return, but the return will potentially be much greater. Those dividends are buying more and more insurance each year, so say the child passes away at age 80. The approximate amount that will be paid to their beneficiary has amounted to about $1.9 million. That is based on data going back to about the last 100 years, so this should be fairly accurate. It can be more or less, but should be in the approximate ball park. So putting in $60,000 to cover your child when it is born, will be a great investment for that child’s future heirs and create a legacy. Another type of insurance where your death benefit can potentially increase is with a universal life insurance policy. This is a very popular product due to the low price for permanent coverage. It’s sometimes called an all in one policy because it combines life insurance and savings in to one product. The premise behind this is if you pay in excess of the minimum amount to cover the insurance, the excess cash will accumulate in an savings investment and eventually pay your premiums and increase the value of the insurance. For a 35 year old non smoking male for $1 Million in coverage and a 20 year term, payments are only about $65 a month. If you pay only the $65, nothing is 16

accumulating to increase your investment, so you must pay MORE than the minimum and up to the maximum allowed without tax repercussions to get the benefit. Once the 20 year term is done, the policy is renewable and will increase in price each year with your age annually until age 100 or you die. There are a lot of people out there that think this policy will pay itself off after 20 years and have been told that, but for that to occur, you must over pay the policy more than just the $65 a month and receive some very high rates (double digits) on your investment savings portion. It could be possible, however very unlikely. This type of policy is not guaranteed to increase your insurance coverage amount, but will still pay at least the $1 million coverage. So this is still a good investment but be careful of the payments in later years which keep increasing each year and can become unaffordable. Critical illness coverage is coverage which pays a tax free lump sum to a person who suffers a critical illness. These illnesses will be listed in your policy, but examples are heart attack and stroke. So if you suffer a heart attack, after 30 days, you will be paid the lump sum of coverage you chose. This is a living benefit because you must be alive to receive it. This again can be done as an investment, because if you pay in, and get ill, the policy pays out. So our 35 year old non smoking male pays about $180 a month for $100,000 of this coverage for 20 years. So about $43,200 is paid and the policy is paid up for life. If you get sick you get $100,000 back, so doubled your investment, if you die and did not use the policy, the amount of premiums paid can be refunded to your beneficiary, so it was a free policy, or after 20 years you have the option to get all the money back in a refund and cancel the policy, so again the policy was free. You must specify these refund options at the time of purchase, but it is another profitable option for investment. Trucking is dangerous and living a life on the road can be unhealthy. I encourage everyone in trucking to get some type of insurance coverage for yourself and your family. It may look like a lot of money to pay, but you need to look at it as an investment. No bank will pay the returns that insurance

pays and we are guaranteed to die, so I encourage you to view insurance as a type of investment that pays big. As we age, it gets harder and harder to qualify for insurance, the price goes up, and health problems may occur, which can lead to being declined. I encourage everyone to get some insurance and the younger you are the better. If you can purchase insurance products for your children as investments in to their futures, it’s even better. I deal with many immigrants and if you can set up the next generation so they have some advantages in the future that you did not have as the first generation, then investing in insurance products is a great vehicle with which to do it.

Capacity is Up, Despite ELD Being Enforced

hen the electronic logging device mandate went into effect last December and the grace period ended April 1, many were concerned about whether there would be enough truck drivers still on the road; in other words, there was a concern about capacity. According to a new DAT Solutions survey, the opposite has taken place. Capacity has increased 11% on the spot market since April 1. However, according to DAT, owner-operators are still being negatively affected by the regulation because they must buy and run their own ELD solution. DAT recently surveyed its carrier customers about ELDs and detention, the majority of which were owner-operators, and found the ELDs were negatively affecting profitability. Most survey respondents were running ELDs, but more than 70% reported that they were earning less money and driving less miles than they were prior to implementation. Their survey also indicated shippers are not considering HOS regulations during loading and offloading. More than 77% report wait times of more than two hours on one out of every five loads. Parking has also become an issue. 87% of them are having a harder time finding parking post-ELD mandate. DAT also reports only 2.8% of those surveyed said they were likely to leave the trucking industry, despite fears over the last year that nearly all owner-operators would leave the trucking industry. maY - JUNE 2018

PIT Group’s Expertise for its Independent Verification Services

IT Group, a research and engineering group for the North American transportation industry, announced today that another company has benefited from its Electronic Logging Device (ELD) testing and verification services. Saucon Technologies, an innovative company in the motor coach industry, has used PIT Group’s independent and impartial verification services to comply with the new FMCSA requirements. PIT Group, a neutral testing organization, offers numerous independent technology and product verification solutions for companies that want to stand out in the marketplace. Thanks to PIT Group’s highly qualified experts who conduct tests according to established industry standards, companies obtain indisputable results that provide them with additional assurance that the technology in which they are investing meets industry standards, thereby creating added value over their competitors. “Some of the largest suppliers who have carried out their own self-verifications have failed in implementing their solution, thereby putting their clients in trouble,” pointed out Yves Provencher, Director, Market and Business Development – Transportation. “Saucon, like some of our other clients, has relied on independent validation, providing its clients with additional safety. In fact, PIT Group offers stringent and impartial testing that meets the latest requirements in ELD regulations. PIT Group’s expertise can therefore help transport companies ensure that drivers and owner-operators use only properly verified systems.” Saucon’s recent tests were conducted in accordance with the test plans and procedures issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Under these requirements, fleets had until December 2017 to implement self-certified ELD systems or, in the case of carriers already using Automatic on-board recording device AOBRD systems, until December 2019 to validate compliance with ELD regulations. “Saucon is pleased to have collaborated with PIT Group for an independent validation of its ELD solutions,” mentioned Bill French, President of Saucon Technologies. “Compliance with FMCSA regulations is of extreme importance to our customers, and the rigorous 22

maY - JUNE 2018

and unbiased verification performed by the PIT Group provides additional assurance to both Saucon Technologies and its customers that our products comply with the stringent regulations.” In October 2016, EROAD, a provider of electronic tax, compliance and commercial services, including electronic IFTA, Oregon Weight Mile Tax, driver and vehicle analytics, and real-time fleet tracking, was the first provider to submit its ELD solution to PIT Group for independent verification and testing. More recently, PIT Group was selected by International Trucks to test the fuel efficiency of its new LT Series 625 Class 8 tractor and A26 engine against competitive tractors with similar specifications. These two companies now use the certification obtained following their independent tests as a tool to promote the quality of their technologies, demonstrating the professionalism and reputation acquired by PIT Group within the North American transportation industry. Many other companies have also used PIT Group’s professional and impartial services within its Energotest campaigns in order to certify and prove the value of their products and technologies.

Luber-finer Introduces the New LFP9001XL Extended Life Oil Filter

esigned for the popular Cummins ISX engine, the new LFP9001XL Extended Life full flow oil filter features a 100% synthetic filter media that helps protect engines over a longer time period. When combined with regular oil testing, the LFP9001XL can reduce the frequency of filter replacements as well as total service and filter spend while increasing vehicle uptime. Available now from distributors throughout Canada, the LFP9001XL is engineered for industry-leading performance in three key areas: Enhanced Efficiency – A filter’s efficiency rating is the most important factor in determining how well it can protect your engine from damage caused by foreign matter. The higher a filter media’s efficiency rating, the greater percentage of particulate it is proven to capture and prevent from entering your vehicle’s vital lubrication systems. As calculated from ISO4548-12 in-house testing versus competitive filters, the LFP9001XL is 100% more 24

maY - JUNE 2018

efficient at removing particulate at 5 microns. High Capacity – Not all filters are engineered to effectively capture the same amount of particulate. Once a filter’s media reaches its capacity limit, the filter’s ability to protect an engine is severely compromised. This can result in reduced flow of oil to critical engine components and abrasive particulate flowing freely into an engine’s core components. As calculated from ISO4548-12 inhouse testing, the LFP9001XL offers 45% greater capacity than competitive filters. Reduced Oil Restriction – The true test of any filter is its ability to withstand extreme conditions. The LFP9001XL is engineered to perform as optimally as possible in cold weather, or when oil has become viscous due to extended service life. Using ISO4548-1 in-house testing under harsh conditions versus competitive filters, the LFP9001XL shows 8% less restriction on an engine’s oil flow at a 25-gallons-per-minute flow rate. Please visit luberfiner.com to learn more about the new LFP9001XL Extended Life full flow oil filter.

Let’s Not Forget the Other Victim of Humboldt

ast month, there was a horrible crash in Saskatchewan between the bus they were riding and a tractor trailer unit hauling peat moss killing 15 members of the Humboldt Broncos. This violent crash was not the first crash affecting a sports team and won’t be the last. While much of the news reported on this crash from all sorts of media outlets, the glaring lack of information about the truck driver other than he was taken into custody for a time and released. All we need to understand at this point, not only do we need to mourn the loss of this team, and need to support those injured and maimed in this incident, we need to consider this truck driver has the entire weight of this wreck on his shoulders and needs our support. This support doesn’t need to consider fault or not. That’s the job of the investigators to find the answers and we need to be confident in their investigative skills. It will be a court that will determine punishment, if punishment is to be meted out, at a much later date. Suffice to say the truck driver is now in his own prison, going over all the what if’s and if only’s. That truck driver will be living the horrible event everyday for the rest of his life. We know this kind of incident is a career ender. While prayers and good wishes are flowing for the team, prayers and good wishes must extend to that truck driver. Every truck driver is saying today “there but by the Grace of God, go I”.

Alberta Government Suspends Two Truck Company Involved in Humboldt Crash 38

maY - JUNE 2018

lberta Transport Minister Brian Mason confirmed the suspension for Calgary-based Adesh Deol Trucking, which includes one truck in addition to the one involved in the April 6 crash. The ministry called the practice standard in the case of a high-profile incident. Although the identity of the driver has not yet been released, the owner says he was only with the trucking company for about a month. The company’s two trucks will be off the road until after the Alberta Ministry of Transportation finishes its investigation. That won’t begin until after both the Saskatchewan Ministry of Transportation and the RCMP complete their investigations. The Alberta investigation shouldn’t take more than three days once it gets going according to the Minister. The tragic crash at the Saskatchewan intersection of highways 35 and 335 saw the truck hit a bus carrying the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team the Humboldt Broncos. The crash resulted in the 15 fatalities and 14 injuries among the bus passengers. The truck driver suffered no reported physical injuries.

OEMs, vendors and more, to help educate and guide the transportation industry towards the successful implementation and adoption of blockchain technology. As the first trailer OEM to join BiTA as well as the only trailer OEM in the industry to have developed a data-driven integrated telematics solution for trailers, Great Dane will be able to provide unique insight into the data security and asset management needs of fleets. “Blockchain technology can help to maintain secure, trackable data, while providing greater visibility into the supply chain to quickly identify issues,” Engelage said. “With the largest service network for trailers in the industry, our scale uniquely positions us to help fleets begin to leverage the benefits of blockchains by driving efficiencies across an array of cost buckets, including better transparency and history on an individual trailer basis into maintenance, repairs, parts and warranty terms. We are thrilled to partner with BiTA to learn more about this incredible technology and to play a role in bringing blockchain solutions to the transportation industry.”

DOT Offers $1.5 Billion In Grants For Infrastructure Investment

he U.S. Department of Transportation published a Notice of Funding Opportunity inviting regional and local authorities to apply for $1.5 billion in discretionary grant funding through the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development Transportation Discretionary Grants program. BUILD Transportation grants will replace the pre-existing Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program. As the Administration looks to enhance America’s infrastructure, 2018 BUILD Transportation grants are for investments in surface transportation infrastructure and are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant local or regional impact. BUILD funding can support roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports or intermodal transportation. “BUILD Transportation grants will help communities revitalize their surface transportation systems while also increasing support for rural areas to ensure that every region of our country benefits,” said Secretary Elaine L. Chao. Projects for BUILD will be evaluated based on merit criteria that include safety, economic competitiveness, quality of life, environmental protection, state of good repair, innovation,

partnership, and additional non-federal revenue for future transportation infrastructure investments. To reflect the Administration’s Infrastructure Initiative, DOT intends to award a greater share of BUILD Transportation grant funding to projects located in rural areas that align well with the selection criteria rather than such projects in urban areas. The notice highlights rural needs in several of the evaluation criteria, including support for rural broadband deployment where it is part of an eligible transportation project. BUILD Transportation Discretionary grants will run through September 30, 2020. For this round of BUILD Transportation

grants, the maximum grant award is $25 million, and no more than $150 million can be awarded to a single State, as specified in the FY 2018 Appropriations Act. At least 30 percent of funds must be awarded to projects located in rural areas. To provide technical assistance to a broad array of stakeholders, DOT is hosting a series of webinars during the FY 2018 BUILD grant application process. A webinar on how to compete for BUILD Transportation Grants for all applicants will be held on Thursday, May 24; a webinar for rural and tribal applicants will be held on Tuesday, May 29; and a webinar on how to prepare a benefit cost analysis for a BUILD application will be held on Thursday, May 31. The deadline to submit an application for the FY 2018 BUILD Transportation Discretionary Grants program is July 19, 2018.

Trucker Sent to Prison for Life

federal judge is ordering a Kentucky trucker to spend the rest of his life in prison for the driver’s role in transporting dozens of undocumented immigrants who died in a horrific tractor-trailer ride from Laredo, Texas,

to San Antonio. James M. Bradley Jr., 61, received two life sentences without parole after pleading guilty to two counts of conspiracy to transport undocumented immigrants for profit, resulting in death. The sentences will be served concurrently. On July 23, 2017, the San Antonio Police Department was sent to a Walmart store off of Interstate 35 upon receiving a call about a tractor-trailer parked in the lot. Officers found nearly 40 undocumented individuals at the scene, including many lying in the trailer. Bradley was sitting in the cab, where officers found a Cobra CB 38 Derringer .38-caliber pistol. Ten of the individuals died because of the conditions inside the trailer. Anywhere from 70 to 200 people were inside the trailer during the transport, testimony from some of the passengers reveals. The immigrants paid varying fees for the transport. As part of a plea agreement, Bradley admitted he was transporting the trailer from Schaller, Iowa, to Brownsville, Texas. He denied knowing there were people in the trailer and said he discovered them only when he exited the vehicle to relieve himself. He said he attempted to administer aid to them. Law enforcement officers from SAPD reported they found eight deceased persons and 30-40 others, all undocumented. Bradley was taken into custody. Two more later died at area hospitals.

Bradley told authorities he was traveling from Laredo to San Antonio, after having the tractor-trailer washed and detailed at a truck stop near Laredo. Bradley said he intended to take the trailer to Brownsville to deliver it to someone who had purchased it. He stopped at the Wal-Mart and heard banging and shaking in the trailer. He was surprised when “he was run over by ‘Spanish’ people and knocked to the ground,” according to the affidavit. He realized that at least one person was dead. He said he knew the trailer refrigeration system did not work and that the four vent holes probably were clogged. He said he called his wife but did not call 911.

Truckers Who Don’t Carry and Use Chains Will be Fined More

. C. Transportation Minister Claire Trevena announced today that several changes will be going into effect for the next winter driving season, including increasing fines for commercial vehicles that don’t carry chains or don’t chainup when required, extending winter tire requirements on certain routes prone to late season snowfall, and increasing roadmaintenance contractor requirements. “I have heard from people and communities throughout the province that we need to take action to improve safety on our highways. With that in mind, our government is moving quickly to implement changes that will ensure people are able to get where they need to go more safely through the winter months.” Stricter commercial vehicle chain-up requirements are the priority named by the government, and the ministry says it will enforce higher fines for commercial vehicle operators not carrying chains, or who don’t chain up when mandatory. Currently, the fine in B.C. is $121, while in other North American jurisdictions the fine is up to $1,200 for similar violations, ten times higher. The exact fine amounts are yet to be determined.

maY - JUNE 2018

The government will also roll out a pilot program limiting which lanes commercial vehicles can use on certain corridors, which will reduce the risk of collisions, and blockages due to spun-out trucks. On key three-lane highway sections during winter, commercial vehicles will be restricted from using the farleft lane, to ensure more reliable and safe access for the traveling public. When all lanes are blocked, the ability for emergency crews and maintenance equipment to move along the highway is eliminated, compounding the closure. Ministry staff will also be expanding monitoring and auditing of road-maintenance contractors, including 24/7 compliance checks during winter storms. Snowplows will also be getting GPS tracking. The current regulations requiring drivers to fit winter tires or chains from October 1st to March 31 will also be extended in certain areas of B.C. The ministry will expand the date range through to April 30th on select highways and mountain passes to account for potential early spring snowfall events which occur regularly in the Northern regions of the province. The exact routes where the winter tire rules will be extended has not yet been determined. Another small change announced today that could have a big impact in this part of B.C. is a reduction in the highway abrasive standard size. The government said that the standard size of grit used on roads will be decreased from 12.5 to 9.5 millimetres to reduce potential windshield damage. Across the entire province, road crews apply 750,000 tonnes of winter abrasives over 1.2-million kilometres on average every winter.

Celadon Suspends Trading

he New York Stock Exchange suspended trading the stock of trucking company Celadon Group Inc. on Tuesday and moved to remove the company’s stock listing after Celadon said an internal investigation had identified accounting

errors that will require it to restate financial results dating back to 2014. The Indianapolis-based firm, one of North America’s largest truckload carriers, has been under scrutiny over a joint venture involving its leasing division. The company has closed its leasing division and Celadon says it’s focused on improving its core truckload business. Celadon hasn’t publicly reported earnings results since last year, and has been negotiating with its lenders to pursue a refinancing plan. The stock, which reached close to $30 a share just more than three years ago, closed at $3.45 per share on Monday. Chief Executive Paul Svindland, who joined the company last year, said in an interview Tuesday he was “disappointed” to learn the accounting problems extended back further than previously thought, but said the company was committed to accurate and transparent financial reporting. Over the past year, Celadon has scaled back its domestic truckload division’s fleet by about 20% and it is reducing the number of lanes it serves from nearly 5,000 a year ago to about 1,000, said Thom Albrecht, Celadon’s chief financial and strategy officer.

Women Are Increasing Their Numbers In The Transportation Industry

omen In Trucking Association exists to increase the number of women employed in the trucking industry. Knowing that, in order to improve something it must be measured, WIT partnered with the National Transportation Institute to develop the WIT Index to monitor the percentage of female drivers and leaders within the industry. The NTI is a top research organization that surveys hundreds of trucking firms for data regarding driver wages, benefits, retirement plans and more. Each quarter they aggregate the data and provide it to carriers for benchmarking and forecasting. Last year the NTI added two questions to their list of research responses to assist WIT in tracking the percentage of female drivers at firms as well as the percentage of their leadership team that is comprised of women. In January of 2017, we reported that women comprise over seven percent of female over-the-road drivers and 23 percent of management. These numbers differ from the Department of Labor which tracks women employed as “driver/sales workers and truck drivers.” The NTI figures track over the road drivers specifically.

maY - JUNE 2018

The NTI recently calculated this year’s figures and the reports hold some hidden surprises. First, the percentage of female drivers increased from 7.13 percent last year to 7.89 percent at the end of 2017. The number of women in management has increased as well, from 23 percent last year to 23.75 percent at the end of 2017. The surprise is in the number of carriers who are now reporting these numbers. In the past two years, there has been a 19 percent improvement in those companies tracking the percentage of female drivers and managers. This means that more companies are actually monitoring these figures and can benchmark with other carriers in the industry. For those companies who participated in the research, over 25 percent of the carriers surveyed reported nearly a thirty percent average increase in their female driver population. “Confidentiality is guaranteed and is also why we’ve been a trusted resource in the transportation industry since 1995,” said Leah Shaver, Chief Operating Officer at NTI. “We do not share WIT Index participant data or names with anyone, without their permission.” Shaver added. To include your company profile please visit https://www.driverwages.com/wit-index/. Contributing carriers will not be specified within the index and will receive a copy with aggregated results by region and fleet size. Women In Trucking has also partnered with the Memphis University to track the percentage of women who serve in management and on the boards of publicly traded carriers. Of the sixteen organizations, twelve, or 75 percent, have female directors, a slight increase from 2016. This index of publicly traded carriers also tracks the percentage of women holding executive positions. Only six of the fifteen companies showed women in management roles, which was unchanged from 2016.
