CHANGING FACE

mmigrants from South Asia have accounted for a massive shift in the demographics of Canada’s truck drivers, according to an unprecedented research project conducted by Newcom Media’s editorial teams, drawing on more than 25 years of Canada Census data. “It’s Punjab in particular,” says Randeep Sandhu, vice-president of sales at Load Solutions Inc. (LSI). India’s northern state has a rich agricultural tradition, giving many of the immigrants from there an early exposure to trucks and heavy equipment before they arrive in Canada, he says, suggesting that as a possible reason. And now the job applicants are more likely to see themselves reflected in workplace ranks. Trucking also offers unique economic opportunities for newcomers from any country. While it can take years for an Indian doctor, engineer or accountant to be accredited to apply such skills in Canada, there is a relatively low barrier of entry to earning a truck licence – offering an immediate path to the all-important paycheques needed to establish a new life. “This is a field you can get into with a minimum of education,” notes Vik Gupta, senior vice-president of sales and operations for Pride Group Enterprises, headquartered in Mississauga, Ont. Compared to the years of schooling that can be needed to secure some jobs, entry-level driving candidates can earn an AZ licence in Ontario with 103.5 hours of training. In other provinces, there are no minimum limits for the training at all. “Many educated people find this as a good option to get off the ground,” he adds. It has clearly become more than an interim source of work, though. Many of the newcomers who turn to driving are sticking with the trucking industry. Gupta, who moved to Canada in 2002, was once one of a couple of truck salespeople in the Toronto area who spoke Punjabi. Now he can name dozens who are able to conduct business in the language. Many of the customers he once counted as owner-operators are now running successful fleets. Vancouver and beyond The demographic shift has been nothing short of dramatic. Twenty years ago, just 1.8% of Canada’s truck drivers were from South Asia, and most of those were based in Vancouver. They accounted for 18.7% of the drivers in the western city, and 6.2% of the drivers in and around Toronto. By 2016, almost one in five (17.8%) of Canada’s truck drivers had South Asian backgrounds. One in three drivers in B.C. (34.6%) were from the demographic group, as were one in four (25.6%) Ontario drivers. The numbers are particularly striking in the metropolitan areas of Vancouver and Toronto. In Vancouver, South Asian immigrants now account for the majority (55.9%) of drivers. The share in Toronto is not far behind at 53.9%. Several factors could account for Randeep Sandhu

the connection between this demographic group and trucking. Gupta compares the South Asian immigration wave to the surge in Italian immigrants from the 1950s to 1970s. “Many Italian or Portuguese immigrants, they found their niche in construction businesses,” he says, referring to the post-war building boom that was happening during that era. The wave of South Asian immigration has simply coincided with a demand for truck drivers. And when a newcomer knows others who have found success in trucking, they are more likely to consider the career path as well, he adds. While the most significant demographic shift has involved immigration from South Asia, Canadian fleets are increasingly looking to countries around the world to offset an intensifying shortage of those who want to work behind the wheel. A 2016 report by the Conference Board of Canada predicts Canada will experience a shortage of 25,000 to 33,000 for-hire truck drivers by 2020. The rising age of an average truck driver – now at 48 – reflect an increasing share of existing drivers who are

approaching retirement. Their replacements need to come from somewhere. Increasingly, job candidates are coming from elsewhere. Canada had 181,330 truck drivers in 2016, according to the Census data – and 58,985 of those drivers reported that they came from other countries. It represents a dramatic change in the past 25 years. A mere 7.7% of truck drivers were immigrants in 1991. Their numbers surged to 32.5% of the driver pool in 2016. India has played the biggest role of all. In 1991, just 8.7% of the drivers who identified themselves as immigrants were from that country. By 2016, the share from India had swelled to 43.7%. There will be more potential job candidates to come. The federal government has announced plans to expand overall immigration levels to 340,000 newcomers in 2020, up from the 310,000 expected this year. Against this backdrop, the Canadian Trucking Alliance has recently been asking the federal government to focus on matching the newcomers with industries like trucking that face severe labor shortages. “It doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down,” Gupta says of the shifting demographics. “At least for a decade or so.

Knowledge of Punjabi language steadily increasing

Canadian truck drivers are better educated than they’ve ever been. Roughly three quarters of truck drivers in Canada and Ontario now have a degree, diploma, or certificate. That’s up from about 40% in 1991. Each census year since then saw the percentage of truck drivers with a degree, diploma, or certificate, rise from the previous one, reflecting a trend from the broader overall Canadian population. Because the South Asian driver population is exploding, it should come as no surprise that a growing number of drivers now claim an understanding of the Punjabi language. More than 100 million people worldwide speak Punjabi, which is the native language of the Punjabi people from the region of Punjab, extending from north-west India through eastern Pakistan. In Canada, 27,480 truck drivers said they had a knowledge of Punjabi in the 2016 census. In Ontario, the number 13,295. Going back to the 1991 census, fewer than 1,000 Canadian truck drivers claimed to have a knowledge of Punjabi. In Canada, 1.7% of residents of South Asian descent were truck drivers, according to the 2016 census, up from 0.4% in 1996, showing members of this community are increasingly seeking opportunities in the trucking industry. Most visible minorities in the trucking industry are of South Asian descent. In Ontario, according to 2016 census data, there were 22,885 visible minority truck drivers, 16,580 of whom were of South Asian background. In Canada, the number of truckers who identified as a visible minority surged 856% from 1996 to 2016, and in Ontario, that number numb climbed by 1,019% over the same time frame.

Although she’s a rare sight, 26-year-old Kamal Natt doesn’t feel alone on the road. Natt ticks all the diversity boxes that the trucking industry appears to have a tough time attracting. She’s a young, female, South Asian driver. And she loves her job. “It was my passion from Day 1,”she says. The kid with the car in high school, Natt says she earned her licence in her Vancouver-area suburb as soon as she turned 16, and she’s been on the road ever since. Now she has her A,C,Z and M licence designations – eager and willing to operate any vehicle she can – and spends five days a week on a local route for her fleet. She’s one of two female drivers currently at Brampton, Ontario’s Mattu Trucking, a fleet founded in 1999 by Narinderjit Singh Mattu, now running about 23 trucks in Ontario and Quebec. Mattu has been hiring women drivers from the South Asian community for more than 11 years, seeing them as an investment in the safety and reputation of the fleet. “We teach them,” he says. “They’re better than the boys.” Mattu says he sees fewer accidents and more careful behav-

Ontario scraps Drive Clean to focus on trucks
O
ntario scrapped the Drive Clean passenger vehicle program last month. Starting April 1, 2019, drivers will no longer need to get Drive Clean emissions tests for their passenger vehicles. The government of Ontario says this move is saving taxpayers up to $40 million a year. In lieu of Drive Clean, a new program that will focus on the biggest polluting vehicles, like commercial trucks, will be put in place. The provincial government also said the reason behind this cancellation was that “auto industry standards have significantly improved since the program was created in 1999 making this program no longer necessary.” Owners of vehicles will still be required to make sure their vehicle emissions systems are operating properly. The ministry added that it will be strengthening its on-road inspections to ensure

owners are properly maintaining their vehicle emissions systems. The province of Ontario recently announced a consultation process to redesign a heavy truck emissions control program, which will include stronger roadside enforcement of anti-tampering regulations, as well as potential incentives for purchasing trucking environmental equipment. The Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) plans to work with the province to determine how current MTO enforcement policies and programs can be better utilized with regards to environmental matters. It would like to see emissions system tampering be eliminated. The association says it is also encouraged about a potential incentive program that would reward fleets that buy leading-edge environmental equipment technologies.

The owner of the trucking company involved in the Humboldt Broncos bus collision has been charged with eight counts of failing to comply with safety regulations. Sukhmander Singh, owner of Calgary-based Adesh Deol Trucking, will face seven federal charges, including two counts of failing to maintain HOS logs, three counts of failing to monitor the compliance of a driver, and two counts of having more than one log for a given day. The final charge is under provincial regulations for failure to possess or follow a written safety program. The driver of the truck, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, was charged in July with 29 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and bodily injury. The April 6 collision resulted in 16 deaths and 13 injuries. Singh will first appear in court Nov. 9 in Calgary.

The Alberta government announced that mandatory entry-level driver training (MELT) will be mandated in spring 2019 for Class 1 and 2 drivers. The message was relayed at the Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA) office by Transportation Minister Brian Mason. AMTA president Chris Nash was present during the announcement and threw his support behind the move. The AMTA was a big part of the consultation process on the MELT program. The association requested that Alberta’s MELT program be recognized nationwide and meet or exceed National Occupational Standard. The AMTA also wanted to see MELT instructors receive mandatory training, as well as all future and existing provincially licensed driver instructors be trained and certified to deliver the standard curriculum, and that auditing of instructors be focused on credentials, compliance and delivery Along with a MELT program, the trucking industry will also see more stringent safety requirements for new commercial truck and bus companies. Both requirements will take effect March 1, 2019, with temporary Safety Fitness Certificates no longer being issued as of Jan. 1, 2019. The government said mandatory training will result in safer, more skilled drivers in the industry. Alberta’s MELT program will require 125 hours of training, including air brake endorsement. How that training will be broken down into classroom and on-road experience is yet to be determined.

Westcan Bulk Transport knows it isn’t alone in the search for drivers in the midst of a booming economy. But it’s looking for ways to recognize the all-important people who turn the wheels. Formally recognizing the fleet’s drivers will make a difference in fighting the driver shortage, says Howard August, vice-president of Canadian operations for RTL Westcan Group of Companies. A branding and recruitment video called ‘Meant for the Road’ posted on social media is one of the related initiatives it has introduced. Howard wants to highlight drivers as ambassador of road safety — and to position Westcan drivers as a group of elite, trustworthy and skilled role models. Recognizing professional drivers also involve supplying them with trucks that focus on their needs. About 80% of Westcan’s fleet includes Mack Trucks, and the company just took delivery of the first batch of 50 Mack Anthems, giving it the chance to compare the units to Pinnacle models already on the road. “We always liked Mack products. Their trucks are sturdy and stand up to the elements in Western Canada,” said Mike Royer, vice-president of fleet services, during a media event coordinated by the manufacturer and attended by Road Today. Canada is now the 10th-largest market in the world for Class 6-8 trucks, out of 180 markets overall, said Jonathan Randall, senior vice-president of North American sales and marketing for the truck maker.

Drivers face tougher tests with legal marijuana í³× ç¶ ÕÅùéÆ Ô¯ä î×𯺠âðÅÂÆòð» ù ÕðéÅ êË ÇðÔË Ãõå Ü»Ú çÅ ÃÅÔîäÅ Cross-border truck drivers who already face drug screening are not the only ones who face restrictions under Canada’s new framework for legalized recreational marijuana. Impaired driving rules have been refined at federal and provincial levels, said Alex Bugeya of Frontline Commercial Vehicle Solutions, during a presentation hosted by the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC). The federal government has set limits for criminal charges, testing standards, the authority of police, and criminal penalties. But Ontario has also introduced lower-level administrative penalties under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act – including zero tolerance for commercial drivers. “They obviously wanted to strengthen what happened at roadside,” Bugeya said of the strengthened federal rules in Bill C46. Law enforcement teams no longer require probable grounds like a driver’s slurred speech or dilated pupils before following up with a blood test. He expects that to play a role in tests conducted after any collisions. The federal bill also established new testing thresholds, similar to the well-known 0.08 Blood Alcohol Content limit used to identify impaired drivers. For THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, federal limits were set at between two and five nanograms per millilitre (ng/ml) for a summary offence, with higher levels generating a crim-

So, too, is there a criminal impaired driving offence for those found with more than 2.5 ng/ml of THC in their blood and a BAC of more than .05. But Ontario has essentially banned traces of marijuana or alcohol in commercial drivers – up to a point. Alcohol screening devices have been set at .01 BAC to screen out substances like cough syrup, he said. “What I’m hearing is it’s closer to .02 because of the way the devices are calibrated.” Those with a prescription for cannabis are also exempted from the province’s zero-tolerance rules, but still bound by the federal limits. Bugeya also referred to one amendment that was intended for RV users but might be tested by those who drive trucks. “Vehicles and boats with sleeping accommodations and cooking facilities which are parked and anchored,” he explained.

Whether it’s driving to work, running errands or heading out for a weekend sports event that has you tackling treacherous winter roads, getting there can be an adventure. Here are three expert tips to help you perform regardless of the challenge:

Be aware of your surroundings and use your peripheral vision. Both will help you prepare for what’s down the road, optimizing your ability to avoid obstacles, steer steady and avoid sudden movements that can cost you control.

Slow down before you turn.

One of the most common mistakes a winter driver can make is to apply the brakes when changing direction. The best way to slow down and maintain control is to brake while moving in a straight line. Release the brake while initiating a turn. Similarly, wait until you’ve completed the turn to apply the throttle.

When the temperature consistently drops below freezing, it›s important to have four high-quality, matching winter tires that offer extreme winter traction and wet performance, as well as control and durability, such as the new BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI tire. Investing in tires can help you maintain the upper hand in challenging winter conditions.

Distracted driving and other unsafe behaviours behind the wheel are a hazard year-round, but become more dangerous when kids are in school. In a recent CAA survey, parents with young kids reported they have seen an increase in unsafe driving practices in school zones. Help keep everyone safe with these easy ways to avoid distracted driving.

Have time on your side. The number one thing we can all do to be safer is give ourselves enough travel time to get to our destination so we don’t have to rush. Time is your friend, so try to do what you can to give yourself some extra minutes — whether it’s waking up a bit earlier, planning out a more efficient route, or getting some tasks done the night before.

Plan ahead. Set the GPS and review all maps and directions before heading out. If you’re unsure about where you’re going, google directions or call for instructions while you’re still in the driveway. It can be tempting to do this while you’re moving, but even hands-free calls have been linked to higher crash and near-collision rates. Before driving. Make sure the kids are in their car seats or buckled up, and have any items they might need in reach, including something to drink or play with. Stow and secure loose objects like your bag and cell phone so you’re not adjusting them if they shift while you’re driving. Do daily tasks like makeup, shaving, and drinking your coffee before you leave home. While driving. Remember that distracted driving is any activity that lessens your focus on the road. Let your calls go to voicemail and don’t text, use apps or read emails. Checking a text for only five seconds means that at 90 kilometres per hour, you’ve travelled the length of a football field blindfolded.

Kenworth’s W990 builds on the heritage of the W900. Õ¶éòðæ ç¶ âìÇñÀ±II@ çÅ ÇéðîÅä, îÅéî¾å¶ îÅâñ âìÇñÀ±I@@ ç¶ ÁèÅð Óå¶ ÕÆåÅ Ç×ÁÅ ÔÍ
Kenworth W990 builds Çòñ¾Öä Çç¾Ö å¶ Ãîð¾æÅ òÅñÅ on a lasting legacy àð¾Õ Õ¶éòðæ âìÇñÀ±990 By John G. Smith
Kenworth’s W900 has become a staple of the show ‘n shine circuit, its long hood and gleaming accents seem to guide drivers down the highway. The look has had a starring role in movies and been immortalized in belt buckles. Now it has been re-imagined in the form of the W990. “We’re celebrating the legacy of the W900 and the introduction of the next generation,” said Kenworth general manager and Paccar vice-president Mike Dozier, during a customer launch party at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “A lot of passion, a lot of pride, have gone into what we think is a really special product.” The W900L remains available, he stressed. “But we’re planning for the future.” “Redesigning an icon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a design team,” added Jonathan Duncan, Kenworth design director. Trucks like Kenworth’s T680 on-highway tractor and medium-duty models are important, he said. But they’re different. “They don’t sing songs about those. They don’t put those trucks on belt buckles necessarily.” The Las Vegas event was the first opportunity most people outside of the Paccar family have had to soak in the truck’s unique profile, which had been under development for almost three years. Marketing teams have been keeping the truck under wraps for months, shrouding the distinct hood and grille as the truck made its way to photo and video shoots. 34 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2018

The details Measuring 131.5 inches from the bumper to the back of the cab – 1.5 inches longer than the W900L — the W990 comes as a day cab, with a 40-inch flat top sleeper, and 52- and 76-inch mid-roof sleepers. It also comes standard with a proprietary Paccar powertrain with a 510-hp/1,850 lb-ft MX-13 engine, 12-speed automated transmission, and 40K tandem rear axles. It’s all built on the same 2.1-m cab platform used in the T680 and T880, which offers easier access for service teams. Lights are easier to replace, and bolt-on fenders can be replaced one at a time in case of damage. “All the shiny bits on there are truly metal, polished stainless steel, polished aluminum castings, aluminum extrusions,” Duncan stressed. Sitting up front is the largest cooling module found on any of Kenworth’s on-highway trucks, he continued. And the shape is 6-7% more aerodynamic than a W900L, although he admitted that won’t likely be the main driver for most buyers. Much of the appeal will focus on the appearance. The grille at the front maintains what’s described as a “cathedral shape”, with inset surfaces to define a tailored look. Design teams debated back and forth about whether to include the vertical bars that ultimately were included. Inside, final touches come in the form of a limited-edition cab and sleeper interior, and the W990 Driver’s Studio Package. The interior itself is black, accented by door and dash trim elements made in a glossy ravenwood. Blue accents can be found in the double-stitched diamond door pads, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the backing for driver and passenger seats that have suede charcoal inserts and perforated leather. For living quarters, the W990 Driver’s Studio features the passenger seat that swivels 180 degrees and a rotating table for two, drawer-style refrigerator, and space for a microwave. The premium audio package includes a 320-watt amp, 10-inch subwoofer and eight speakers; swivel TV mount for up to a 28-inch flat screen TV; and optional EpicVue pre-wire for satellite TV. There’s an 1,800-watt inverter including a connection for shore power and four standard 120-volt sleeper outlets. The LED lights shine over it all. The ever-important storage amenities come in the form of a full-size wardrobe, storage drawers, and storage space under the bunk. While it offers a nod to the company’s heritage, the W990 also comes standard with the latest TruckTech+ remote diagnostics, and the seven-inch color in-cab NAV+HD display for navigation, audio controls, blind spot camera inputs and more. Paccar Parts was also involved in the process to create aftermarket enhancements like a special LED lighting package and stainless trim. ROADTODAY.COM

IN BRIEF
International Truck Introduces the International LT MPG Package “At a time when every one-percent improvement in fuel efficiency can save customers hundreds of dollars per truck per year, this new fuel efficiency spec package can help customers achieve major reductions in their TCO,” said Michael Cancelliere, Navistar president, Truck and Parts. “In addition to savings from fuel efficiency, the LT Series MPG Package provides customers with upfront savings through cost-effective bundling of a range of aerodynamic, fuel-saving features.” The LT MPG Package spec offers proprietary and supplier-provided enhancements, including an aerodynamic chassis package, predictive cruise control, air dam and bumper seal, as well as a roof fairing and extenders, chassis skirts and energy-efficient wheel covers. This spec delivers up to an 8 percent improvement in fuel efficiency over the International LT Series with just the roof fairing and extenders, air dam and bumper seal. The International LT Series MPG Package is available in day cab, 56-inch hi-rise and 73-inch hi-rise/sky-rise cab models.

Meritor is supporting severe-duty applications with the new MX-610 front drive axle and MZ-610 tridem rear axle. The MZ-610 tridem offers wide- ranging axle ratings and a high ground clearance as well as a gross axle weight rating of 60 tons and gross combina- tion weight of 210 tons. The MX-610 is designed to fit Elsa disc brakes in a double-caliper configuration to offer high-rated torque in a compact package, Meritor adds. The product can mount 20-inch wheel rims and offers a steering angle up to 42 degrees. A detachable tandem is optional. Meanwhile, a new proportioning inter-axle differential delivers even torque between the three axles to max- imize traction, load capacity, and drive- train longevity. The MZ-610 also has five differential locks and hardware for optional central tire inflation systems. www.meritor.com

Bendix updating Wingman Fusion Bendix is updating the software for its Wingman Fusion collision mitigation system, enhancing stopping power and helping drivers navigate stop-and-go traffic. Existing systems will simply require a software update, available next year through truck OEMs. Active cruise will work at lower speeds than ever before, such as times when drivers are crawling through traffic jams, bringing a vehicle to a stop when necessary. Drivers can re-engage the functionality by simply touching the accelerator. And active cruise with auto-resume functions will re-engage cruise control after the Fusion system applies brakes above a certain speed threshold. Wingman Fusion will also offer highway departure braking, which will apply the brakes and slow a vehicle that leaves the roadway – even applying the parking brakes if Intellipark is available. Meanwhile, a multi-lane automatic braking feature can continue to apply the brakes if a truck changes lanes during an emergency braking situation. www.bendix.com AUXILIARY POWER
ComfortPro delivers comfort with batteries Carrier Transicold’s ComfortPro elec- tric auxiliary power unit will cool a cab without generating emissions, and also promises one of the longest run times for a battery-powered APU. The unit delivers 7,500 Btu/h of air conditioning for up to 11 hours. It’s powered by four Group 31 absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries, which are in turn charged by the truck’s alternator. Compared to an enginedriven APU, there are fewer moving parts to service, and no oil, fuel, or filters to consider. www.carrier.com
