An educated demand

I

nternationally and domestically there are a lot of worrying balls in the air at the moment. Even if a moderate amount of the foreign money running the country’s commercial engine chose to leave on the back of a confidence drop from increasingly ugly numbers, the result would be catastrophic.

I’ve said it before: All the good things we have – welfare, hospitals, education – are not the result of entitlement, they’re the result of endeavour. The products of prosperity earned. In order to have the fruits, you must first have the economy.

If the plan is to tax the hell out of everyone with poorly conceived and constructed taxes, then at least spend it on efficiently getting product to port and market in the quickest possible time. In that context I’m all for commuter rail incidentally – anything to get unwanted cars and motorbikes out of the way of trucks. But hurling money at obsolete technologies barely able to contribute to their own upkeep defines false economy. Rail and coastal shipping as freight mechanisms have a place and offer some contribution in the right setting, but on the volumes shifted, and in terms of offering resilience, they’re minnows. Rail and ports – if one piece of the Lego set goes, it all goes – rail in particular. Roads are like a nervous system; nine times out of 10 there’s an alternative in the event one’s damaged.

If you really want to win the votes and wellbeing of the future generations, the bulk of investment should be going into three areas. Firstly, road corridors. Not just RONS but regional state highways, the surfaces of which are currently in an appalling state, with remedial money that would make them safer being incinerated on kilometres of mindless guard rails. Secondly, truck propulsion systems. Future generations will grow ever more intolerant of extended lead times. The truck is omnipotent where lead times are concerned. Electrified drayage, hybridised line haul, and technologies like platooning, will eventually render rail a museum exhibit, so why pour

billions into anything other than excessively high volume, economically viable rail corridors. Thirdly – and most critically – education. Amidst all the good things our children learn there’s a huge abyss in the education of where and how the resources they consume come from, how the supply chain circle works, and how everyone contributes. In what is the most easily offended generation ever raised, career advisers actively dissuade the youth from mission critical roles on the pretence of inherent status, and that offends me on every conceivable level. From the earliest age we need to give our children a proper grounding in what their wants and needs cost, both in terms of money and sustainability – creating an educated demand and supplying that as efficiently and sustainably as possible.

Fuel and RUC set to head north

O

n 28 June Cabinet approved a new 10-year plan for transport that comes at a cost for motorists and transport operators.

Minister of Transport Phil Twyford said the Government Policy Statement 2018 on Land Transport increases investment from $3.6 billion in 2017/18 to a record $4 billion in 2018/19. It will continue to rise to $4.7 billion a year by 2027/28. Additionally, the Government is also investing $1 billion this year in specific projects, such as the City Rail Link, and councils will invest a further $1 billion a year.

“There will be three increases in Petrol Excise Duty of 3.5 cents a litre from 30 September, and equivalent increases in Road User Charges from 1 October, and further 3.5 cent increases in 2019 and 2020,” said Twyford. “This will cost the average family 83 cents a week this year, rising to $2.50 a week by 2020.”

Twyford said the Government, through the National Land Transport Fund, would invest more than ever in transport, to boost the economies of New Zealand’s cities and regions, while making travel safer.

Second suspension

I

n June Dick Joyce was the second heavy vehicle engineer suspended, after the 2017 suspension of Peter Wastney and the revocation of hundreds of tow bars, drawbeams and drawbars Wastney certified.

Joyce runs the biggest heavy vehicle certifying firm in Seaview, Lower Hutt.

NZ Transport Agency spokesperson Andy Knacksted said they were focused on ensuring the safety of heavy vehicles on New Zealand’s roads.

“In the area of specialist heavy vehicle certification, we rely on the support of a network of qualified professionals to carry out the services which they are appointed to provide to a high standard. It is extremely disappointing when a person appointed to carry out these specialised services fails to perform their duties to the high standards required, as has been the case with Mr Wastney and now Mr Joyce.

“While we are disappointed that we have had to suspend Mr Joyce’s HVSC authority, it should be noted this action was taken in response to safety concerns identified during NZTA’s regular auditing process. NZTA is committed to ensuring a high standard of heavy vehicle certifications to ensure safety, and we will be strengthening our capability in this area as an urgent priority.”

NZTA was recruiting three additional auditors and two additional heavy vehicle engineers, and would also be working to build engineering capability in the sector.

Knacksted said once the decision to suspend Joyce was taken, NZTA began examining other certifications he carried out to determine if there were any further safety issues in addition to those identified through the audits. Any additional safety issues identified would be taken into account

by NZTA when considering whether to permanently revoke Joyce’s authority.

“Auckland alone loses $1.3 billion a year in productivity to congestion. We will tackle gridlock in Auckland by giving commuters options through major road projects and upgrades such as Mill Road and Penlink.”

Twyford said the investment would complete the expressway projects begun under the previous government and allow for future state highway upgrades, with up to $9.5 billion for state highway improvements.

“Regions are set to gain through investments to help freight flow faster and more efficiently. Up to $6.2 billion will be available for regional road and local upgrades, along with more funding for rail upgrades and a big boost to maintenance after years of neglect. The majority of regional councils made submissions in support of this plan after suffering funding cuts under the previous government.”

Twyford said the NZ Transport Agency would increase their share of costs for certain high and very high priority locally-led projects, meaning councils can get more transport investment without asking more of ratepayers.

Delivering costs to their final destination

T

he increase in Road User Charges (RUCs) announced by the Government in June will see consumers paying more, said Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley.

“Combined with the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax, which will inevitably be spread around the country, these RUC increases will add significantly to a road transport operator’s fixed costs.”

The RTF estimates that RUCs will increase around five percent per year over the next three years, and that trucking companies already operating on tight margins will have to pass costs on through the supply chain.

“As RTF indicated in our submission to the draft GPS we acknowledge the necessity to improve New Zealand’s transport infrastructure. Transport operators accept the high level of RUC is due to the direct relationship the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) has to the roading network. It is also accepted that road users derive benefit where passenger transport on rail and ferry services eases road congestion.”

Shirley said that if these other modes were to receive funding from the NLTF then they should contribute to the fund comparable to Road User Charges and fuel excise.

“That would provide for mode neutrality based on true and fair comparative advantage,” said Shirley.

Carriers meet to discuss issues around M.bovis

I

n July 2017, the bacterial infection Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) was found in cattle in the Oamaru area of the South Island.

The Government, along with the dairy and beef industries, has agreed that an attempt will be made to eradicate M. bovis.

As at 28 May 2018 the disease was still not widespread (37 infected farms and some 260 suspect farms out of 20,000) and there is just one strain of the disease here. While eradication won’t be easy, all parties agree that if they don’t try now, they won’t ever get another chance.

A group of South Canterbury transport operators met in June to collectively discuss the issues associated with transportation of the diseased animals and seek some guidelines going forward.

“All we did was meet as a group of transport operators to voice our common concerns,” said a representative for the group. “The next step for us is to have a meeting with MPI and other associated authorities. I guess what we’re trying to do is address some issues that should have been addressed some time ago and that is the standing of stock and the washing facilities at processing plants.”

The group’s purpose was about getting some things in place with MPI to try as an industry to properly manage M. bovis.

“What we’ve said as a group is we don’t want to be involved in the whole NAIT [National Animal Identification and Tracing] thing, that’s not what transport operators should be involved in, that’s really up to the farmers and the processors to deal with that.

“It’s about facilities at processors. When we arrive at a processing plant, we need to have the facilities to wash a truck out before we go to another farm, to know that we’ve got the ability to wash out properly before we go somewhere else. At the moment we just haven’t got that, we’ve got plants that have got substandard washing facilities.

“This whole disease thing has highlighted the substandard facilities that these places have. That’s something we need to be pushing the ticket on.”

The group said the other important thing was how essential it was for famers to stand their stock before it was transported.

“If they do that it means a reduction in the effluent going into trucks and the reduction in the amount of time and effort in cleaning the truck out, which all has an associated cost.

If the farmer plays his part, well, it’s going to be a whole lot better for everybody.”

All agreed that additional costs would have to be passed on to the customer.

The group viewed the recent issues as an opportunity to try and correct the existing culture and make improvements.

“This has highlighted some real shortcomings in the whole animal industry.

“An example might be you’ve got a clean truck, you go to a farmer’s place to pick up the stock – now in an ideal world that stock has been stood and there’s not going to be a whole lot of effluent by the time you get to the processing plant, so that’s the first thing. When you do get to the processing plant there’s going to be effluent whether you like it or not, it’s just a matter of the amount. We should have the ability to wash out our truck and have it in a clean, presentable condition the same as when we went to the farmer’s place, to then go and pick up the next farmer’s stock and do the whole process over again.

We shouldn’t have to go and find our own facility to wash out, that’s just not part of the chain of responsibility, that’s the responsibility of the processor really.”

All agreed that even processing plants that had washing facilities were finding it hard to cope with the number of trucks they dealt with every day.

Then Griff turned up… at last!

Scania NTG range is finally here, please form an orderly line at the sales desk

T

he opening morning of Fieldays was just as big a day for road transport as it was for the rural sector with the unveiling and official launch of Scania’s NTG (New Truck Generation) here in New Zealand. The latest of Europe’s big six to get here, the Scania’s arrival has been hugely anticipated, due in part to its endless awards and accolades from reviewers overseas, but more so on account of its long and glorious history with operators here in this part of the world.

There’s no arguing Scania’s a yardstick brand in New Zealand, and where much was expected even more appears to have been given. By all accounts evaluation units at work here in the hands of dyed in the wool Scania disciples have taken their adoration for the Swedish brand to a new level.

The NTG trucks are the result of a NZ$3bn cost, and four and half thousand man-years (combined man-hours) worth of development time.

Visually the trucks are an evolution, and certainly unmistakeably Scania to the core. Although more aerodynamic than their predecessor, they present slightly ‘harsher’ and blockier looks-wise.

The new family comprises S, R, G, P, L, Crew Cab, and XT construction spec. On display were S, R, and G variants, the S cab being the ‘Opulence Prime’ of the range, with a flat floor and 2070mm standing room. The big cabs are higher than their predecessor but the dash position has been lowered to enhance visibility. There’s been a huge amount of work around the A pillars and mirrors to afford an unprecedented reduction in the dreaded blind spot that’s been a real safety concern among the world’s current line-up of ultra-safe trucks. The driver’s been moved 65mm forward and 20mm closer to the door, the result of design input from Scania’s own test driver team. By all accounts the result is spectacular.

Unmistakeably Scania but a chunkier look.

Fit, finish, amenities, material quality and safety, are of the manufacturer’s usual exemplary standard and these trucks have a driver’s side curtain airbag that is currently unique to Scania.

Scania representatives present told guests that 45% of truck accident fatalities occur in rollover events.

Engine-wise there’s a new 7-litre unit for the P-Cab trucks in the 164 to 206kW (220 to 280hp) bracket, pitched more at metro duties. Moving up there’s the 9-litre at 206 to 265kW (280 to 360hp); a 13-litre at 302 to 368kW (410 to 500hp); and the venerable V8 has survived to tell another tale in the annals of trucking history, coming in at 382 to 537kW (520 to 730hp).

The 13-litre, a significantly future-relevant power unit, produces 2550Nm (1881lb/ft) of torque in the highest power variant. Currently all engines in the New Zealand release meet Euro 5 emissions standards, with the V8 offered at Euro 6 also.

There have also been tweaks on the Opticruise AMT with a braking system on the layshaft to enhance upshift times. This allows for quicker and smoother shifts and significantly more opportunity to regain speed following a loaded incline lift-off.

In other directions, Scania is providing air and electrical junctions for ancillary equipment suppliers to tap into, obviating the need to hack into the truck’s networks to install vocational equipment. Likewise, there’s significant pre-wiring and switchgear for things like rear of cab spotlights. A full suite of deck mount brackets – perfectly matched to predrilled chassis holes – is also available to body builders, and this includes drawbeams. Each individual truck has a blueprint available to body builders via a web portal, available upon completion of an online Scania course.

Mercedes‑Benz Unimog returning to New Zealand shores

M

ercedes-Benz has relaunched the UNIMOG into the New Zealand market with the intention of finding many homes in civilian life.

Senior manager for Mercedes-Benz Truck and Bus in New Zealand, Pieter Theron, announced the relaunch of the company’s legendary Unimog specialist vehicle to a gathering of media and customers at Fieldays.

For most Kiwis the Unimog is synonymous with military life following the New Zealand Army’s replacement of their aging RL Bedfords in the early 80s with more than 500 Unimogs, 200 of which still serve to keep our country safe.

Although other examples have found their way into other specialist roles in the industrial and rural sectors, there’s now a whole new energy and push to get the Unimog to anyone looking to go everywhere with anything.

Theron said the Unimog model line-up will be well represented in New Zealand with the U430 and U530 AWD off roaders, and the beefier U4023 and U5023 with double cab options. They will sit alongside the ‘A’ trucks (Actros and

Arocs) throughout the existing dealer network.

Philip Leslie, from Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks for Australia and New Zealand, was on hand to provide a capabilities overview for the Unimog and answer any technical questions. With a GVM ranging form 9 to 16 tonne the big ‘Moggies’ will pull 17 tonne behind them with a 3 tonne drawbar weight. The Unimog’s utility is almost limitless, with a thousand implement combinations available, and the ability to be operated as a right or left-hand drive.

Under the composite cab, the OM 936 LA engine is shared with the ATEGO and AROCS models, and the truck will only

Theron said prelaunch interest has been high and that applications for the Unimog were almost unlimited, citing agriculture, horticulture, forestry, fire, rescue, utilities companies, and tourism, as an obvious few. With that he announced the confirmed sale of eight units into the tourism sector, with more detail to follow shortly.

“It is a very exciting product to bring back to market,” he said.

enske New Zealand The MAN TGX 640 8x4 has entered the 600-plus horsepower segment of the 8x4 market, recently delivering its first MAN TGX 35.640 rigid to Spencer Logistics in Wellington.

An existing MAN customer, Spencer Logistics required an 8x4 configuration in order to minimise road user charges, while also looking for a higher horsepower unit for running under high productivity conditions.

Penske New Zealand worked with MAN and local transport engineers to offer the capability of an 8x4 product with 640 horsepower and 3,000Nm of torque, which is a great fit with New Zealand’s unique regulatory environment.

“This is the first TGX 640hp 8x4 in the world, so significant engineering development work has been undertaken in conjunction with MAN in Germany,” said Brent Warner, Penske New Zealand’s North Island truck sales and Tauranga branch manager.

“Penske and MAN worked closely together to ensure the offering met both MAN’s, and the NZ Transport Agency’s, strict requirements while maintaining MAN’s class-leading safety functionality.

“With New Zealand being predominately an 8x4 market, having an 8x4 offering over 600 horsepower adds to MAN’s range of customer solutions.”

fforts to ease the driver shortage in the road transport industry have attracted significant numbers of female students to a Commercial Road Transport Programme being held at Manukau Institute of Technology.

Until now MIT has confined itself to running courses aimed more at the administrative side of road transport – logistics and freight.

The seven-month course is equally divided between classroom and practical work, and takes students through all the theory to gain a class 2 licence as well as the practical experience. It aims to have students graduating with learner’s class 4 driving licences. This involves one day a week placement with a trucking company as well as using a driving simulator and gaining practical experience in forklift driving.

Nationally, the Sector Workforce Employment Programme (SWEP) set up early last year to encourage more drivers into the industry has seen a 10% rise in the issuing of class five licences.

Manawatu initiative attracts students

A

Manawatu initiative linking transport industry employers with potential job seekers attracted students from about 20 schools to Manfeild Park in Feilding in June.

Charitable trust Talent Central’s aim is to foster collaboration between the education and business communities to harness the growth needed for the Manawatu region.

“We’re all about inspiring our talent about the employment opportunities available to them, and ensuring they are motivated to contribute to their own learning,” said chair Margaret Kouvelis.

McCarthy Transport was there with a loaded log truck and information about the job opportunities they had.

Steve Divers, director – Careers Pathway, said the Sector Workforce Engagement Programme (SWEP) had been looking closely at Talent Central’s model. He attended Jobfest and said many students were unaware the transport industry offered so many different options.

“People think of a stereotypical person in the driver’s seat,” said Divers, “but there are so many different aspects to the industry, from support roles all the way through. That’s why something like this works so well, it’s an opportunity to showcase a number of roles in the logistics field.”

Kouvelis said with construction of the replacement Manawatu Gorge route set to begin in 2020, a large number of transport industry roles would need to be filled.

ajor lubricant industry brands are calling on importers and distributors in the market to join them in tackling the issue of millions of lubricant packages being discarded every year.

A Waste Lubricant Container Product Stewardship Scheme has been established with the aims of exploring recycling options for lubricant containers. The scheme will aim to close the loop on lubricant packaging and contribute to the development of a Circular Economy in New Zealand, with a focus on supporting the development of processing capacity and end use markets.

To achieve this, members intend to work together as part of a voluntary, industryled scheme to recover, reuse and recycle waste lubricant containers for urban and rural customers. This will maximise the number of containers diverted from landfill and reduce the need for virgin resin imports.

Single use plastic packaging has become a highly publicised international environmental issue.

Still a good turn of the wheel left yet Story by Dave McCoid Photo and videos by Dave McCoid, Carl Kirkbeck, and Izaak Kirkbeck

As tragic as it is, in 2020 we say goodbye to the Freightliner Argosy, an old friend and a loyal servant to many an operator. But 2020’s a good turn of the wheel away yet and there’s plenty of reason to write the order for a truck that many we encounter describe as “a bloody good machine to me”.

T

ravelling around the traps there’s no question in the minds of many operators today that bringing the Freightliner Argosy to New Zealand in 1999 was a great move. Bill Hammond, Tom Twist, and more recently Brodie Drummond when Craig McCauley photographed one of his new Argosys for our monthly Top Truck, join a myriad of others who have stressed the importance these reliable heavily laden merchant vessels – that’s what Argosy means – played in building their businesses.

There’s no greater champion of the Argosy flag, or the people who sell and support them, than Dave West, managing director of Riordan & West Transport, located in Puni, just west of Pukekohe. The distinctive blue and white

Argosys have been a fantastic advertisement for both the Freightliner and Riordan & West brands since the first one rolled out of the yard in 2000. In the succeeding 18 years a further 18 Freightliners have been purchased, including two Century Classes and a couple of Coronados, but there’s no mistaking which model comprises the bulk of the vertebrae in the Riordan & West backbone. Today the fleet stands at 17, comprising 12 Freightliners that include the last of the two Century Classes, three UDs and an International Paystar used primarily as a transporter for Dave’s race truck – which is, of course – a Freightliner Argosy.

The latest Argosy to grace the gateway is the majestic No 6, and it’s certainly a step away from the company’s traditional bulk machines with its sprawling Domett flat deck body and trailer affording 19m of load space. Who’d have thought in 1982 that the LOA then would one day be the useable deck length – on a truck with a sleeper!

It’s a 90” mid-roof cab and runs the Detroit DD15 and an Eaton 18-speed AMT. We met driver Rob Tonkin in the company yard at 4.30am on a mid-winter’s morning with a load of coil steel bound for Seaview in Lower Hutt.

Of course, the glass-half-full, Kiwi bloke who is Dave West was there, and we all enjoyed a drink and quick yarn before Rob checked the state of the Desert Road, climbed aboard, switched off the flood of interior lighting, selected the appropriate gear, didn’t let the clutch out, and gently eased some throttle on. No 6 climbed the concrete drive, out onto the narrow, climbing tree-lined rural road that runs past the depot, and started picking up gears as she attempted to get the 49 tonne of truck and load behind her proud badge rolling.

‘D’ for Dave. ‘D’ for Detroit.

Riordan & West is Detroit country, always has been, probably always will be. It dates back to the Internationals that serviced the original piggery located on the Puni site back in the day.

As you read on you’ll discover the Wests are loyal to good suppliers.

“We’ve had a couple of Cummins, through acquisition.

They’ve gone okay, but certainly not given us any reason to want to change,” said Dave.

As we said, under No 6’s flat floor is our old friend the 14.8 DD15 producing 418kW (560hp) and 2500Nm (1850lb/ ft) of torque. It’s a familiar face in the engine scene now but still one with plenty of trick bits to raise its appeal. At the top of the tree is probably the engine’s Euro 5 emissions rating without the need for DEF. Talk to any driver and there’s still plenty of grumblings around DEF, particularly in regard to the fragmented refill network. We’re long past the point where not having DEF at every diesel stop is acceptable. Anyway, DD15 is an EGR DPF unit, built ground-up for that emissions system and first released to the world in 2007. It has four valves per cylinder, a cast iron block, low inertia hollow camshafts, and a rear gear train. It has what Detroit calls Amplified Common Rail System (ACRS) which is essentially a gear-driven highpressure fuel pump producing pressures in the rail of 13,000 Psi, with final boost produced hydraulically in the injector itself.

The system is capable of five injection events per cycle.

The other bit of cleverness is the turbo compounding system. Not in series, but one old school basic turbo to boost manifold pressure for air intake management and a second that creates the manifold pressure differential for EGR to happen, pumping an extra 37.2kW (50hp) back into the engine’s rear drive train. The combination of the two (ACRS and turbo compounding) is the magician that produces the lightening 1.5 seconds between asking for peak torque and delivery – something the company calls Demand Torque Response.

The DD15 has a B50 life of 1.9 million kilometres, meaning its design intention was that it ran that far before requiring the sump or heads off for anything. That engineering confidence is reflected in its extended warranty offering, which runs to one million kilometres, 15,000 hours, or half a million litres of diesel used, whichever comes first.

From right: The familiar Freightliner dash. Simple, clear, easy to use. Some of the switches are a bit of a reach. Middle: The sleeper’s all you could want. The flat floor and high roof mean there’s plenty of moveabout room. Far right: The driver’s throne with the 75th birthday decorations.

Birthday venue Riordan & West No 6 has the 75th anniversary spec cab with all the extra bits and pieces to make it that little bit special. The extras list includes commemorative badging, additional sound-proofing, 75th anniversary dash lining, embroidered headrest, and new door panelling upholstery with extra pockets. It certainly gives the inside a lift, no question.

The first thing we noticed was the effect of the extra sound-deadening. It doesn’t take much to alter a mood and the anniversary Argosy is a pleasant place to be.

Rob and I chatted happily across the cavernous cab with the sound meter bobbing around the 70dB mark unless it was working hard, or the AMT was dishing out downshifts on the run up to a set of lights or traffic jam, like a croupier dealing cards.

The Argosy interior has changed little over the years and it’s a bit of a case of ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’.

Ironically, in the early models, cracking around the dash and other cab panels was a problem but an in-house bracing programme by Trucks and Trailers brought that under control.

The cab’s a safe one too, meeting European ECER-29 crash test standards. It’s very US in feel obviously, with a big low set wrapped dash affording excellent visibility.

It was well ahead of its time in that regard when new, but such a step away from the FLB. It’s a gauge and switch-based set-up with cool things like Freightliner’s quirky wiper switch. It’s a reach from the driver’s seat to get to some switch gear but intermittent movement isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The only areas it’s arguably showing its age is the lack of a contemporary ‘IMAX’ digital communications/navigation interface, and no smarts on the steering wheel, not that either are an issue in our books. A decent phone holder and ear piece with voice activation sorts out coms and we’re not the hugest groupie of smart-wheels housing endless functions in a twisty, windy country – we love the vinyl, woodgrain and chrome spoke wheel. The only people who believe your hands should be glued at a quarter past nine – or whatever – while you stare out the windscreen vigilantly

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

for hours, with no reason to move to operate anything, ever, are those who talk the talk, but have never walked the walk. Having said all that, some sort of steering columnbased wand to activate the cruise and maybe the engine brake would have been be a boon – not that that’s going to happen now. While we’re on the steering column, the indicator is on the left and SmartShift paddle on the right.

The SmartShift paddle is a trooper in the world of ‘how many different ways are there to change gears in an AMT box’.

As we said, it’s a huge space with plenty of room for even the biggies to stand up in. The floor’s flat and if you ever needed an indication of the connection between company and machine, the beautiful mat with Riordan & West and Freightliner logos embroidered into it says it all. The bed is big; Rob is not, so that’s great for him. The sleeper is well furnished with lockers to accompany the storage above the windscreen. There’s no pull-out drawer or fridge under the bunk, but the cavity is there to do something if you wanted.

There are also big storage lockers outside.

Finish-wise it’s not an Actros or Arocs StreamSpace, but then not much is to be fair. Buttoned and stitched vinyl, woodgrain finish, and gauges with bezels – plenty of Uncle Sam – we love it (maybe a wee bit too much plastic – picky, picky).

Keeping on the Uncle Sam theme, Rob’s young and sprightly so he didn’t get the swing-out steps, it’s an old school rear of the wheel ladder, grab handle, and ‘shuffle’ entry. Even so, it’s impossible not to have three points of contact getting in and out so the clipboard tickers must surely be happy.

Yeah, right! We are, so is Rob, and he pretty much lives in it.

There’s no question the ride in US trucks has benefited from their European connection. Once upon a time the only person overjoyed at the prospect of us riding to Wellington and back in a US cabover with a solid mount passenger seat was our chiropractor. Not so now. The Argosy cab rides on air and its fixed mount passenger seat affords a more than acceptable passage with no aches or pains at all. The driver gets the fully suspended throne so his journey is sublime.

Handling-wise it’s a US truck: firm, direct, communicative, but with yesteryear’s harsh edge removed. Very DAF XF105 actually we’d have to say. It’s not a cab that’s free of squeaks

and the odd noise, but no Freightliner ever has been.

Freightliner steering is light and direct, certainly not Kenworth, that’s ‘meaty’ and direct, more … 3070 for those with a memory that far back. There’s nothing negative in that, it’s just a comparison.

Access is classic rear of the wheel. Bags in then you. By the time you get to the steering wheel on the way in, you’re bearing all your weight on the step plate, so the wheel doesn’t become a pseudo jungle-gym.

Behind the motor is the clutchless 18-speed Eaton RTLO20918B UltraShift Automated Manual Transmission (AMT).

AMTs are another thing for which Riordan & West is a stronghold.

“The only one that’s ever given us a hiccup wasn’t even its fault,” said Dave. “The truck broke a piece off a front spring that bounced on the road, flicked up and knocked the gearbox oil cooler off. She lost her oil and melted the gears.”

Up front and down below are Meritor FG-941 axles on parabolic taper leaf springs with shocks, and out back are the perennial Meritor RT46-160GP axles with diff and cross locks at 4.1:1, on 46,000lb Freightliner AirLiner suspension.

The truck’s got drum brakes with Meritor auto-slacks, and the trailer has discs. WABCO provide the ABS/EBS, and smarts on both, so nothing unusual or unfamiliar there.

...just can’t wait to get on the road again.

This latest addition to the Riordan & West family sports the Freightliner 75th anniversary package (see sidebar). Out of ‘Puke’, down the Bombays, and south along Highway 27, Robert and I just sat and chatted, the LED headlights illuminating all before us. Back in the Leyland Octopus and Mercedes-Benz 1418 days, any time you left Auckland for Wellington it was almost the start of an adventure probably worthy of a chapter in a book. As we rolled south through Matamata Rob looked at his watch and said, “We should be unloaded by two-thirty, quarter to three, so we should get reloaded and get north a bit.”

It all sounded so easy and it pretty much was. The Argosy

28

New Zealand Trucking

August 2018

ate the main drag south, the 29.1 tonne on its back proving to be little in the way of a burden to the DD15. Like all modern engines it enjoys life at the lower end. Maximum power is produced at 1800rpm and peak torque at 1100rpm, although the curve’s pretty flat from about 900 to 1500rpm. At peak power torque is still slightly north of 2237Nm (1650lb/ft).

That rapid spool-up to full boost is also part of the picture that makes driving this machine in the lower half a no-brainer.

Another good – tongue in cheek – reason is sound. The DD15 has a … well, edgy, if not a slightly annoying top-end note. Its bottom end note however, is among our favourites.

Pulling away from 1100rpm or even lower it’s a gorgeous sounding note. The motor almost tells the driver where it enjoys life – ‘I like to amble not scramble’ it says.

Rob Tonkin’s approach is cautious, considered and polite, just what the industry needs.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Rob starts the unload process in Seaview.

Kojak – clean and mean

The Argosy was pretty much garden fresh with only 16,000km on the odometer. Earthquake gully south of Waitahanui is the test of any loaded southbound truck, and it was despatched in 11th gear, at 1800rpm and 32km/h. Like almost everyone we come across, Rob lets the AMT do its thing most of the time, but takes control in the tricky bits, like the Sisters. The unit’s running at 50MAX currently, awaiting its 54 tonne HPMV permit to allow another four tonne. It’s a weight Dave’s found to be a good compromise between productivity and affordability.

“HPMVs are good but I’m not a believer in just handing all the benefits on. They cost a lot more to build and operate and we [the industry] need to be aware of that. An investment

should benefit everyone, not just one party, leaving the other with all the burden.”

There’s no question the Riordan & West livery looks great.

Asked if there was an origin to the white and blue, Dave simply says, “no, not really…Dad likes blue I think”. Very Dave West.

Number 6 stands out even more on account of configuration, meaning a Riordan & West truck in flat deck trim. The low lines of the Domett body and 5-axle trailer versus the height of the mid-roof cab are a great contrast. But what really contributes to the look and lines of the truck is the lack of paraphernalia. There are no stacks or high-rise air cleaner tubes and intakes, just a couple of mirror-mounted aerial whips, roof-mounted air horns, loading lights and a flashing beacon.

The standard plastic air intake sits behind and exits through

Strong lines and a clean look.

An unbeatable combination really.

A loyal servant to Kiwi trucking. Rob Tonkin and Rex Tamm drive the two newest additions to the Riordan & West fleet. The company’s Freightliner Argosy story has a way to go yet, and for good reason.

A tragedy The New Zealand Trucking magazine of March 2000 said this about the first Argosy test: “The Argosy is one of the most important American trucks to reach New Zealand in recent years, because it represents Freightliner’s bid to revive the cabover configuration.”

Sadly, that never happened and the badge was removed from the US market in 2004. But it was its departure from South Africa in 2014 that would have set our destiny in motion behind the closed doors of corporate decision-making. We’ve been reminded once again that although we often proclaim to punch above our weight on the global stage, we are in all reality just one of the world’s great coat-tail jockeys.

It’s tragic we’re losing the Argosy in a couple of years. Freightliner is the US cabover brand. Freightliner should always have a premium cabover available, for Freightliner was founded on cabovers by a man who named his creation after what it was he was hell bent on doing – moving freight, as much freight as possible.

Leland James would be spinning in his grave if he could see what’s happened to long haul trucking in the US. Where once there was margin, now there are

bonnets, and chassis rails.

The agony is made worse by the fact that when it comes to shifting freight, we’re a cabover country. Had there been another 200 million of us there’s a chance the Argosy would have been safe – maybe.

The last new US-designed cabover, its arrival in 1999 was met with mixed reaction. It had softer lines both inside and out than the FLB it replaced, arguably the staunchest looking US cabover ever made, with its ZZ Top lookalike windscreen and outrageously cool interior. But we soon adopted and adapted and in the succeeding two decades the Argosy has proven its worth to many time and time again. It’s been through a couple of facelifts, the most radical being the current incarnation with its famous cheese grater grille. It took a deep breath and open mind to embrace it, but we’re used to it now…it’s an Argosy.

Trucks and Trailers have done an outstanding job of backing a product they believe in to the core. That won’t change one iota. Their association with the brand is not just a commercial one. Freightliner is part of the Wright family story, and every single Freighty, up to and including that very last one, will be too.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ The truck and trailer are both equipped with cavernous toolboxes. Having drop doors means you need to be a bit careful humping heavy stuff around, and make sure you always do the life-saving final walk around before driving off.

Deck hatches are handy for chains and binders, and with the deck lengths nowadays, rarely is there the risk that they’ll all be covered by the load when you need a chain – certainly their Achilles heel three decades ago.

the left-hand cab skirt. It’s a truck that lets the livery do the talking, right down to the matching covers, and we like it…a lot.

Clean lines all contribute to fuel burn too, and every little bit counts on Rob’s five return trips to the capital a fortnight.

Boffins and nerds believe we should all be driving a truck that essentially looks like a blob of snot on wheels, but we all know what they can do. To date, and that’s only little more than a couple of months, the Freighty’s returning 1.7kpl. Considering the load factor that’s pretty acceptable for a near-new truck in this bracket, and looking at the warranty parameters on the DD15 mentioned above, 2.0kpl should not be considered out of the question as she frees up.

It’s who’s got your back that counts

The Wests are big Detroit fans. It’s a heartstring thing, they have a connection to the motors that’s intertwined back as far as Keith arriving at Colville Farms. They’re also Freightliner fans, and Dave doesn’t hesitate.

“They’re very good machines. Very good, not perfect, but nothing is. But it’s Trucks and Trailers that make them. I’ve

bought 19 Freightliners off them and every time something’s gone wrong they’re right there. It’s Trucks and Trailers’ support of the product that seals it for us.”

And let’s not forget the warranty on the Freightliners currently. Four years and 800,000km tells any purchaser that those who sold it believe in it.

Rolling on down country the big climbs and descents disappeared in the mirror; they’re about a song and a half long now, as opposed to the entire Slim Dusty album the Mangawekas alone once were. Because the Jacobs brake was integrated into the design of the DD15, they are incredibly quiet. There’s barely a rumble from under the floor, at full howl popping the noise meter into the low 70dB only. But the Jacobs hold-back is most definitely there and Rob’s a big fan.

The Argosy consumed the flat Manawatu, Horowhenua, and Kapiti with consummate ease, Rob making the most of the cruise control. As per his prediction our load of coil steel was unloaded around 2.45pm and we collected some rather sad and battered looking vehicles for the run home the next day, overnighting in Levin.

Rob’s been super impressed with its tracking, as were we. It was most evident on the run home. Standing on the side of Lake Taupo at Bulli Point, the ease with which he kept the 23m truck and trailer on its side of the road compared with the B-trains that passed was impressive. Long live the truck and dog!

Summary

There was much to like about this test. A bullet-proof US truck that has etched its capabilities in the best possible way, not just into the annals of New Zealand trucking history, but also into the histories of many a successful company. A family business, loyal to suppliers who in turn understand that success in their business is contingent on the success of their customer’s business. A young driver, calm and reasoned, still relatively new to the industry, who was given a go, and is loving where trucking’s taking him…literally and figuratively.

There’s no question: the Argosy will not be replaced. It will be lost. If you’re an American truck fan Daimler’s other ‘A’ trucks will not fill the gap the Argosy leaves. They come at the same job from completely different approaches, skinning the cat an entirely different way. Should you keep the Argosy on your purchasing radar? Absolutely. It’s a strong, proven product with an exceptional warranty, and fantastically supported by its dealer network, for whom it represents far more than a truck.

We concluded by asking Dave what he’s going to do in 2020?

“Have a buy up before then I suppose.”

Go West young man You could say the Riordan & West story started with the pig farm in Puni in the early to mid-90s but the truth is it started well before that. Why? Because as Dave will tell you, “Dad was always more interested in trucks and machines and that than animals really. I am too.”

Dave’s Dad and business partner Keith is a sprightly 70 years young and still very much part of daily life at Riordan & West. When the Fuso Fighter we brought home from Wellington needed a jump-start he was first on the scene with the defibrillators to kick some life into the old beast.

In the late sixties the site that would one day be home to Riordan & West Ltd was home to a Suffolk sheep stud and piggery under the Colville Farms name. That’s when Keith started working for Royce Riordan on the farm. Prior to that he’d driven for local carrier Sands and Myhill, and then Knight and Dickey when they purchased the Sands and Myhill business. Between then and Colville Farms he did a stint at Slag Reduction.

Colville Farms owned an International Paystar with – you guessed it – an 8V71 Detroit under the hood. There was always something screeching at Colville Farms you could say. A little over a decade later, in 1982, Keith and wife Heather bought some breeding sows and commenced a 50/50 share farmer arrangement with the pigs the sows produced.

Among the Paystar’s list of tasks was going off to Auckland to collect waste food for the farm’s porcine inhabitants. One of the pick-up locations was the rapidly

32

New Zealand Trucking

expanding Mr Chips business, which in time started producing more food by-product than Porky, Pracilla, and Pinky pig could gobble up. The opportunity was there to deliver it to other places keen to tap in. The farm took up that opportunity. Backloads of aggregates and whatever were found, and to quote Dave, “The monster just grew”. In all reality the opportunity was perfectly timed. The buildings that housed the pigs were 40-plus years old and in need of an upgrade, and it was also becoming evident social pressure would likely increase as the size of the community around the farm began to take off. As a result, over the next few years a reduction in pig numbers coincided with a rise in truck numbers. In 2003 Riordan & West Ltd was incorporated, although by then the transport story had well and truly started.

While the tale of one farm and two businesses was unfolding, young Dave West left his Waiuku school in 1991 aged 17 and started serving his time as an apprentice mechanic at local garage, Otaua Motors. Life was consumed with being a spanner-man by day, and a truck driver by night and in the weekends. After seven years at the garage Dave moved onto the farm full time and he and wife Amanda eventually took a 20% stake in the business.

From the truck side of things, the original Paystar was joined over a period of time leading up to the incorporation of the transport business by a White 3000 (ex Udens of Putaruru), a DCF International, and a K model

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Kenworth (ex Watchorn Transport). Everything was Detroit powered of course. Even an ACCO the company owned had a 6V53 (Dave later repowered it with a 6V92).

The year 2000 was a landmark year in the company history. It was the year the last pig left the property and the year the Kenworth spun a main bearing. That’s not a landmark thing as such, but what happened next certainly was. The firm purchased its first Detroit powered Freightliner Argosy. An 8x4 with a 12.7-litre Series 60 Detroit and manual gearbox. Four years later that truck was traded on an 8x4 with a 14-litre and AMT combo, and later the same year a 14-litre 6x4 and AMT was added. Detroit powered Freightliners, the Argosy in particular, with AMT trans, were here to stay.

Towards the end of the 2000s, Royce became seriously ill and the Wests purchased the farm off him. Sadly, he passed away in 2011, at which time Dave purchased his 40% interest.

A Norfolk pine was planted at the company’s front gate in respect and remembrance of one of its founders.

The fleet aside, Dave will be well known to most readers for his exploits in the Freightliner Argosy race truck he and his team have campaigned here in New Zealand over the past few years. Like every other truck in the fleet it’s immaculately presented in fleet colours.

The crux to any business is succession and in that regard all appears well. Dave and Amanda’s two boys, Ricky (14) and Leo (12), are both ‘machine heads,’ with Ricky already working an after-school job at the local Pit Stop.

“I’d like them to get a trade first maybe,” said Dave.

Ask Dave about issues facing the industry and the response is familiar.

“The young ones just don’t have the access we did. They can’t spend time around the yards learning off the last generation. My boys are lucky, but they’re the exception.”

Dave West. The epitome of a roll your sleeves up, get stuck in, give it a go, have a crack, thoroughly good bugger!

Branching out “When I was working as an arborist I would always be the one who wanted to drive the truck, taking it to the next job, or bring it back home. I was the crew boss in the end so I was able to do that,” chuckled Rob Tonkin. “I’ve always enjoyed driving and felt the arborist work had run its time and so pursued the driving thing, and here we are. I’m living the dream really.”

Sitting in the cab, listening to Rob tell you how he came to be there, makes you want to thank Dave for following his gut instinct and giving the guy a go. Here’s a bloke who’s exactly what trucking needs, young, quiet, intelligent, sociable…a thinker. It’s only four years since Rob turned up on the doorstep at Puni asking about getting a job in trucking.

A native to Pukekohe, 28-year-old Rob cut out from the education system to investigate life’s opportunities when he was just 16. We say ‘investigate’ because he’s not the reactive knee-jerk type, he does things because that’s what he’s decided to do. Initially he worked with mum Jenny at the Moana Pacific seafood factory in Pukekohe. Following that he turned his hand to building. While he enjoyed the

actual building work he realised that wasn’t where his heart lay either.

From there it was off to help his dad, Ken, a fencing contractor. A drop-off in work ended that prematurely, at which point he took the job as a trainee arborist for Franklin Tree Services Ltd (later Franklin Trees Ltd). That was the start of a seven-year spell that also introduced him to truck driving.

“We were responsible for maintaining and planting greenery in and around the motorway system, removing trees and foliage from power lines, as well as other commercial and residential work.”

Rob gained his level four arborist ticket in that time.

“It was a great job. Some days you spent up a big tree looking at an amazing view no one else would ever see.

But after seven years it had just run its course and I really wanted to pursue the driving thing. I had my class 2 and I went to a couple of local companies. It was Powell Transport in Pukekohe that told me to try Dave and he said ‘Go get your class 4 and we’ll get you going.’”

That was four years ago. Rob started out on one of the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

UDs carting metal and doing local work, branching out bit by bit, getting his class 5 and hooking up a trolley.

Eventually he was pointed at jobs further afield to places like Atiamuri in bigger trucks, ending up on No 9, an Argosy curtainside tipping unit.

“Dave’s a great boss, best I’ve had. The Roadranger thing took a bit of getting on top of but we got there.”

“Rob turned up looking for a job and I just liked his attitude and the way he presented,” said Dave. “He just seemed a genuine bugger you know? I thought I’ll give him a go and we’ll see what happens. He’s still learning, but the big thing is he’s not afraid to ask, but yeah, it’s all worked out well.”

Last year Rob put his hand up for the new flat deck unit that was soon to arrive in the fleet. He wanted to extend his skill set and take on the day-to-day, job-to-job challenges that a flat deck, bunch of covers, some chains, straps, and corner boards always present.

“It’s great. There’s always something to stretch your thinking and challenge you. I’m loving the truck and really enjoying the work.”

Rob Tonkin. Four years in and loving the industry and opportunities trucking is providing him.

Fuso’s big number No looking back Part 2 Story and photos by Dave McCoid

What’s not here but will be in the not too distant future? Fuso’s replacement for the HD 470 premium truck, and it’s a whole new ball game.

Naming rights

Name ideas and marketing slugs have not always gone that well for the Asian OEMs. It’s often a case of ‘yeah we get what it is you’re trying to say but, nah that’s not really it’. We were reminded of a UD poster of the 70s portraying a big dump truck proudly exclaiming ‘Attacks tough jobs by storm breezily’.

It’s all there but it’s missed the mark by a grammatical mile.

Generally speaking, Fuso’s done well over the years. Canter’s a safe one, Shogun’s fine (ironically words from their own culture give us more understanding…Kawasaki Ninja). Names like FV430, and HD470 are extremely safe if not plain old boring. There was a radical and exciting name idea around as the Enduro’s launch was imminent, largely based on a mythical creature that could essentially rip an adversary’s face off with just its spit. But in the end a safe path was sought with a name based on a cunning inference to longevity.

Shortly Fuso will have to decide on the name thing once again with the arrival of the new premium heavy truck range in 2019. In Japan it’s been around since last year, and over there it’s the Super Great – not much chance of that name here thankfully. Fuso are also prepping a top-of-the-range secret weapon for export markets with the project name Black Panther...getting better, we could live with that. That truck is in the pre-evaluation phase and slightly further down the track than next year’s first arrivals.

Naming new chariots is a tough job and not one we’d envy, but it’s important, particularly so in this case. This new HDT range is the truck Fuso see as critical to spring-boarding them

past their most ardent opposition. Here’s hoping the name not only befits the machine’s intention and capability, but also captures the imagination of the potential customers.

Stripped bare

Another thing the Japanese OEMs have been guilty of in the past is replacing a nice-looking truck with a mutt, and of that condition, Fuso/Mitsubishi haven’t been immune. Looks-wise the new trucks aren’t a huge departure. More a refinement.

That’s a good thing because there’s nothing wrong with the looks of the current model. So well done there.

In regard to engines, transmissions, cab interior and safety however, the only thing carried over in next year’s arrivals is the Fuso name. Whatever you know, don’t know, like, don’t like about the HD470 Euro, forget it. The cab access issues, the finicky INOMAT AMT, improved in its latest incarnation but still two generations off parent Daimler’s latest automated manuals, are all gone, as is the motor. Erase the scorecard and start afresh.

The new HDTs are a Daimler platform truck designed and built around the three key pillars of efficiency (fuel/

PH O T O : F US O N Z

running costs), safety, and comfort. Tuned for the Fuso target applications and market segments, they share mechanical and electrical architecture with other models in Daimler’s ‘A’ truck line-up. If they don’t come bristling with all the latest safety tech, they’ll be packing a good wad of it. One Fuso New Zealand representative told New Zealand Trucking magazine “we’re accessing package and price and deciding where the right mix is”. That’ll be an interesting process considering rival UD has just released the new QUON dripping with mother Volvo’s safety add-ons, setting the bar so to speak – and high.

If Fuso bring anything less to market it’ll be a risky game, although all going well, they will have one colossal card up their sleeve that many will see as decisive in their purchasing decision (read on).

So, what will we get next year? Well, remember one of those design pillars was fuel efficiency – add that to our ever-increasing hatred of CO2 and you won’t be surprised to hear the heart of the truck is Daimler’s 10.7-litre OM470 engine, with chassis, ECU, and emissions peripherals to suit Fuso’s world. Power and torque will come in two settings: a 290kW (400hp PS) and 2000Nm (1475 lb/ft) torque, and 338kW (460hp PS) with 2200Nm (1622lb/ft) of torque. In both engines the power and torque peaks occur at 1600rpm and 1200rpm respectively, so the sweet operating range has tightened by 300rpm on the old OM457 motor. Focusing on the bigger engine, the torque curve’s nice and flat right out to about 1490rpm, and just at the point where torque starts to depart, the engine’s a hair off peak power. It has an almost identical performance profile to the GH11TD in the latest

QUON, with a slightly flatter torque curve that makes it a sweet little engine with tenacious characteristics, as our 60 tonne GCM (yes, 60) combo on the Kitsuregawa Proving Ground in Japan willingly showed.

The engines are JP17 emissions rated via SCR and cooled ERG, meaning they exceed Euro 6, which is what they’ll be sold as here. Other key features include dual overhead cams, an asymmetric turbo charger, and APCRS (Amplified Piston Common Rail System) that simply means higher pressure injection and better fuel profiling in the combustion chamber, all controlled from a central ECU. On the transmission front it’s great news. Again, beneath the Fuso-isms around gearings and final drive ratios etc. lies the wonderful Mercedes-Benz Power-Torque 3 G330 AMT under the ShiftPilot name. It’s a 12-forward, 2-reverse box with Standard, Economy, and Power modes. Say what you like about more responsive engines, it’s this transmission that will arguably contribute most in the transformation of the truck’s performance. Two generations ahead of the INOMAT that’s currently in the heavy Fusos, the lightening shift times will (and do) keep the 11-litre percolating right where it needs to be.

Safety and comfort

Of course, with the transmission comes all the fruit it’s capable of bringing to the party, things like Eco-roll, soft cruise and hill-start assist. It’s just as well the trucks are getting the real deal on the AMT front because gone is the option to tick ‘Manual’ on the order form. Yes, there’s a ‘Manual’ mode on

OEMs to bunker the driver and passenger, separating them with a sea of stuff. Yes, it’s not an uber-high cab (we’ll show you why in a bit), but there is plenty of opportunity to give a little more swing and move-about-the-cab-space for those living on board. We asked the question to Rajanand Rao, product manager HDT/MDT trucks.

“The nature of the job here ( Japan) doesn’t lend itself to sleepers as you know them. Drivers will stop and use outside accommodation, or if they’re waiting at the port or something they’ll lay back and put their feet up on the steering wheel.”

At the end of the day it all comes back to two countries of roughly similar size. One has 4.5 million people with weird infrastructure, and the other 127 million with great infrastructure. Who’s going to have the most say in cab design?

What’s that up your sleeve Fuso?

What’s that up Fuso’s sleeve indeed. As we mentioned above it won’t be here when the first new trucks arrive, but unlike UD, the 13-litre hasn’t been ditched from the catalogue and all cred to Daimler for that. Fuso buyers aren’t necessarily MercedesBenz buyers and there’ll be strong interest for a 13-litre HDT in the over 500hp bracket not just here, but also in Australia, Taiwan (evidently), and South Africa (once they get to Euro 6, whenever that might be – Raj thought 2025). While not a lot

the gearbox, but that’s far from making it a manual stirrer.

Assuming we’re going to get all the safety embellishments, let’s look at what’s potentially in the fruit salad. There’s Proximity Control Assist on the cruise, meaning the truck will slow to a stop and take off all by itself in motorway jams. There’s no time limit on that either – dip the throttle slightly or press resume on the cruise and you’re away! Continuing, Active Brake Assist (see video), Active Sideguard Assist (rigids only, on tractors it just bellows at you), lane departure warning, and Active Attention Assist that maps the driver’s face and eyes. Any naughty inattention or seriously descending eyelids result in a poke in the ribs of some description, and an alarm to the boss. Fuso already have the safety upgrade package timelined for 2022, which will see Active Drive Assist, and Auto Stop among other, as yet unannounced, cleverness. In simple terms, wherever you see the word Active assume the truck does something if you don’t.

Safety extends all the way to the lights, with the latest LED tech spearing into the night.

Brakes-wise the Fuso stops short of arriving with discs, but the brakes are upgraded to EBS with ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

The cab is a giant leap forward in an overfamiliar environment. At last a big Fuso you can leap in and out of without being ET. Three beautiful steps and lower grab handles mean you’re there before you know it. Inside it’s a classy act with a definite improvement in materials and fixtures, finished in grey and black tones. Fitting we can’t answer until we’ve pounded the crap out of one over here (which is occurring as we speak – evaluation units are on the ground now). The dash is cleaner with a nice gauge layout split by a central digital telematics display. There’s a lovely wrap housing climate, switch gear and another screen, this time coms/entertainment/ navigation. A smart wheel brings many functions to hand for the driver (when he’s not on the Thames coast road or Craigieburn cutting on the Arthurs that is), and there are steering column wands left and right for indicators, wipers, dip, and AMT control. There’s a new seat with integrated belts, and it is a lot quieter inside. Actually, it’s all extraordinarily familiar? Oh, yep…Benz!

The only thing that irks is the propensity of the Japanese

Clean, crisp, efficient, Japanese. Note in the picture on the right the low roof beam to the left of the truck with the notch cut out. “If we want the super high cab ‘Charlie’ we’re going to have to take to that beam a bit more with the good power hacksaw C’mon.”

has been revealed, the good news is it’ll be a proper 500hp-plus motor (520 PS probably), not an extension of a power curve on a graph to hit a number at an unrealistic rpm. It’ll be based on the OM471 motor we’d expect, which means it’ll have stats we probably haven’t seen on a Japanese truck here before.

Obviously it’ll have the ShiftPilot transmission and all that good stuff. That’s going to be one to watch. Can it get here quick enough? In a word, no.

Talking trucks

Anyone keeping up with our recent articles on Fuso knows they’re pouring huge resources into telematics, monitoring, and data. It adds to the product’s whole of life value proposition for sure, but probably dovetails nicely with the current internal requirement to collect voluminous amounts of data from alternative propulsion system field trials and the like.

Repackaging the R&D tools and selling them helps pay the bills for sure.

One of the real boons in the platform vehicle is the alignment of the electrical architecture with Daimler, allowing a global communications architecture and Common Telematics Platform (CTP). It not only has huge benefits in terms of the Japanese Government requiring cross-brand platooning as part of daily transport life in the near future, but it is also great news for the rest of us.

‘Truck Connect’ is a two-phased beast. Phase one sees every truck fitted with a CANbus interface delivering information on a widely accepted standard (SAEJ1939) for fleet diagnostics.

Fleet managers can tap into data for location, performance, and benchmarking. Phase two is taking that to the next level. At the time of handover in Japan currently, customers are asked if they would sign up to truck related data being harvested

by Fuso. Fuso then break down the big numbers, use it, and then pass it back in handy silos. Internally Fuso can use it for identifying weak spots in design, so perfecting the product and the cost to Fuso of fleet maintenance programmes. From the customer’s standpoint, driver scorecards on safety, driver fuel efficiency at both a company and national level, fleet performance data, vocation-specific vehicle data, track and trace, the list goes on. Being a naturally suspicious bunch,

the homeland customers aren’t being charged a monthly subscription or anything like that for this information…yet. It’s all about winning trust currently.

One of the real benefits of such technology is reducing downtime for customers. Fuso is already picking up on any parameters that are falling out of whack before it incapacitates the truck. The plan is, parts can be ordered and workshop slots booked, reducing time off the road. There’s no reason in the wide world why all this couldn’t be available to us, probably more so than Australia, given our size.

Behind the wheel and off down the road

There’s not too much you can really glean from a couple of circuits around a test track, but some things were instantly apparent and ticked a lot of the HD’s half-ticked or not-ticked boxes. Firstly, getting in and out…a complete transformation.

Secondly, it’s a smooth as silk engine, and in unison with that box the lift-off belied the fact there was an 11-litre motor under the boards, getting 60 tonne up to 80km/h in a time you’d have thought impossible 25 years ago. Of course, the instructors were keen for us to try the hill-start assist, but again the results were breathtakingly smooth, and having journeyed through the Actros launch, totally expected. Third, inside the environment is vastly improved; just the feel, it’s completely different, maybe more a step away than the new QUON is from its predecessor. It’s hard to say, they’ve both raised the bar on what a buyer should expect from a Japanese truck. The driver’s environment smacks of the mother ship in Germany and that’s got to be a good thing. And fourth, the safety trinkets. We were treated to a display of Active Brake Assist among others. It’s a bang up-to-date truck that WorkSafe will love you for buying.

“The new generation HDT will be the ‘Most advanced Japanese truck ever made’,” said Fuso New Zealand managing director Kurtis Andrews. “The new Euro 6 engine and the ShiftPilot transmission need to be driven to get a true indication of just how good smaller capacity engines, and new generation transmissions, can be. The 10.7-litre OM470 is generating the same power and torque as the 12-litre OM457 in our current model HD, and the transmission is two generations ahead of our current offering. Given this engine has already had a few years under its belt within the Daimler family, we are also expecting to see fairly significant fuel savings.”

It’s lucky for UD they’ve got a year’s head start – and a shame for Fuso. But Fuso has that wonderful 13-litre 500plus horsepower option that will hit the back of the maul in a year or so like Kieran Read in his finest hour. That truck will round off a formidable offering, able to deliver all things to all people. 

Confronted with a Dodge Ram truck fitted with a stock feed body, or a gleaming new Western Star 4700 6x4, also equipped with a feed bin, it wouldn’t be until Jax Clarke, driver of the Western Star, pulled up, jumped out, and said, “Ya right there mate?” that you’d realise you were still in Aotearoa.

Patoa Farms in Hawarden, North Canterbury is a huge operation by any measure, one of the largest free-farm piggeries in the Southern Hemisphere, proudly flying the banner ‘Our little piggies roam free’. Readers will remember the story we ran on one of the region’s earliest 58 tonne HPMV units, a Scania R620 owned and operated by R J Baker in Rangiora whose sole purpose was carting food to the farm’s 40,000 inhabitants (ref Jan/Feb 2017 issue). Patoa is a best practice operation that’s used as a model in how best to treat Porky and Priscilla Pig en route to their inevitable destiny. Life is life, and pork, like beef, mutton, chicken, and fish, doesn’t grow on trees, it has to be farmed – but that can be done with dignity and respect for those upwardly supplying the mammalian food chain.

The farm is owned and run by the Sterne family with co-founder Steve Sterne and his daughter Holly at the reins on a daily basis. They’re immensely proud of their farm, both what they’ve achieved, and how they’ve achieved it. Even

here in New Zealand Holly recalls the ‘delightful’ offspring of local farming aristocracy teasing her about being a pig farmer.

However, the ‘shoof ’s’ most certainly on the other foot now.

Anyone who knows anything about pig farming knows that once a year the go-to place is the International Hog Fair in Des Moines, Iowa.

“It has to be seen to be believed,” said Steve. “If it’s to do with a pig, it’s there.”

Pig farms need trucks, and because Steve knew little about trucks and trucking in New Zealand, he took his leads from experts in the States. That’s pretty much how a left hook Dodge Ram feed truck ended up in Hawarden. To us on the outside a Dodge Ram feed truck is likely to induce drool. To Steve it’s a feed wagon. Albeit a pretty cool one.

Understandably the Dodge got to the stage where it was not up to the demand the curly-tailed customers in the lodges were imposing on it. Patoa needed something bigger. So, at the Des Moines Hog Fair in 2015 Steve was introduced to a Western Star truck sporting the ‘Rolls-Royce’ Sudenga feed bin. Now this was it, the real deal. So he commenced the journey to get one back to Patoa. That, as it turns out, was easier said than done. In the course of daily operations, being left or right-hand drive is of no consequence, but trying to communicate metric chassis and body measurements with imperial US suppliers, border controls, and ensuring a myriad of other compliance requirements were met proved harder than herding a piglet on an icy morning in Red Bands. So, the Western Star folks stateside did some

44

digging and pointed Steve at Heavy Trucks Ltd in Christchurch, home of Western Star in the region, and at that point truck sales manager Glenn Heybourn entered the fray.

Steve was surprised Western Star was so well represented in New Zealand and Glenn couldn’t believe his ears when Steve arrived and said, ‘I’m trying to get one of these, can you help?’

“The team at Heavy Trucks have been absolutely great to deal with the whole way,” said Steve. “They know their stuff inside out.”

And as for Glenn, well every truck sales person loves that surprise, quirky, left-field job from a customer who walks in cold and is the real deal. Something that requires research, tweaking and fine-tuning.

Glenn commenced the job as the truck guy in New Zealand who knew what it was the customer wanted and was able to chew a bit of jerky and communicate that to the ‘ole boys in the US. “The whole project was really fascinating,” says Glenn.

“There were so many things we looked at and thought ‘we can improve that’. The Americans did a lot manually from the outside; we got them to bring it inside, automating the control of things on the body from inside the cab. A good example is the lids on the bin. We had them split them so Jax could load half in the rain while keeping the other half shut. Cameras were another thing. We put cameras on the unit so Jax could keep an eye on everything and make tasks like positioning the auger much easier. Everyone here loved the project and the truck that resulted. We’re very proud of it.”

With the build and fit up completed, the truck was brought home to Patoa. The Western Star itself was specced to suit the hot, freezing, dusty, muddy, world of the farm. It’s a tough place for a truck, with extremes of conditions and an almost constant wind.

The end product was a right-hand drive 6x4 Western Star 4700 with a Cummins ISL 8.9-litre e5 SCR Euro 5 motor producing 264kW (355hp) at 2100rpm and 1599Nm (1180lb/ ft) of torque at 1200rpm. Behind that is an Allison 3000 RDS 6-speed automatic transmission with a PTO. Front axle is a Meritor FG-941 on parabolic taper leaf springs with shocks. Out back are Meritor MT 40-140XGP tandem axles with diff-lock rated at 40,000lb, on AirLiner air suspension.

The truck’s on steel 10-stud wheels (giving it such a cool US flavour) with 295/80R 22.5 tyres.

But let’s put the brakes on for a bit. Before we continue, we’ll take a look at what Jax and her Western Star do, just to put other spec related things into context.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Pigs in the patch.

Firstly, it’s worth remembering the wind is relentless, the dust constant, the fragrance unique, and the noise omnipresent.

Jax drives under a row of eight feed silos with loading booms.

The truck can load from four silos at a time and she can put different mixes in each of the truck’s sealed compartments, according to her order list. Her customers’ ages determine the banquet they get. Once loaded – about 14 tonne payload – she’s off, stopping at the feed silo next to each lodge on the delivery run. She can position and operate the truck’s auger from in the cab or remotely from outside, and she’s an expert at dropping the sock into the hole at the top of the silo. Once in, it’s a matter of engaging the auger and unloading. With all the deliveries done and having wound her way around the various drop sites, it’s back to the loading silos and the process starts again.

Total distance travelled? Anywhere from 500m to 1.5km.

Customer satisfaction? By the sound of the squeals, extreme.

It’s like a metro dial-a-pizza run in a town populated entirely

by Warner Brothers’ finest.

Now that we have that information under our belts, let’s get back to the truck. There’s no number plate, RUC holder or COF (although maintenance on the dot because this is a mission critical part of the business).

The engine has extra dust combating capabilities. That includes air intakes on the side of the bonnet, pre-cleaners and a safety element on the hefty under-hood Donaldson air cleaner, as well as an engine fan that runs in reverse for a minute or two every time the truck starts in order to blow gunk out of the radiator. There’s no cruise control and no traction control; there’s no need; top speed would rarely exceed 40km/h, and the central lodges at Patoa are on flat-as-a-pancake ground. There’s a Denso extreme duty air conditioner on the roof so the cab can be kept shut as much as possible.

So, does Jax like her Western Star feed truck? “Hell yes! This is cool.” The inside is a credit to her considering the world

she operates in, and she keeps on top of things with a quick brush and wipe after every load. Inside it’s all Western Star and if you’re going to be doing a job like this then providing kit that makes the operator’s eyes light up each time she sees it is a good business decision on any level. Jax has been at the farm for three years and although the feed truck is her number one role, she has other responsibilities and works closely with operations manager Rob Reynolds. She knows the whole feed operation inside out, where the stopping points are and all the subtle stuff that makes it appear deceptively easy. Just looking you know it would take you half a day to do a run she’s nailed in about 45 minutes.

Riding on board it’s also instantly apparent what the Western Star brings to the operation. This is a typical tuff Western Star, little troubled by the job requirements. Accelerating rapidly, stops and starts, it could do this forever…which is just as well, it probably will be, although Glenn said the truck’s been specified to be useful outside the farm in the unlikely event it finds itself in the big wide world. The Allison was the perfect solution gearbox wise, it’s not a job you’d ever want to be changing gears in, nor putting up with the fussiness of an AMT. Jax is no slug operating the package either; she certainly has the truck’s measure. Already it’s an extension of herself as she wheels it around the lodges with consummate ease, managing the entire process from a central console inside the cab, able to communicate with Rob via radio telephone.

“You get some interesting looks from others when you tell them what you do and what you drive. This is my baby and I love her. She makes the job so easy.”

So there you have it. The Patoa Farms Western Star 4700, hidden deep in the forests of North Canterbury. Arguably New Zealand’s coolest little trucking secret, in the hands of the amazing Jax Clarke – a proud and passionate lady trucker. The only thing left to say is...

B’th b’th b’th b’that’s all folks. 

Striking green and gold in East Otago Story and photos by David Kinch

With a fleet upgrade and some new signage, East Otago Transport has emerged out of the shadows to become one of the smartest looking fleets in the south.

W

hen you mention the small town of Waikouaiti to most people, their answer is, “Where is that?” Situated within the city limits of Dunedin, Waikouaiti has a population of just over a thousand and is home to East Otago Transport.

The yard is situated on State Highway 1 just north of the main township and was the premises of A S Clulee Limited between 1959 and 1998, and then Clulee Cartage Limited until they were purchased by Kevin Byrne and Ian Ritchie back in 2006. The company name was then changed to East Otago Transport.

Ian Ritchie only spent a short time with the company before returning to the farming sector.

It was time for a fresh start, so owners Kevin and Jodie Byrne decided to give the fleet a whole new look. With East Otago Transport having a base colour of green with yellow writing (also the local sporting colours), Jodie thought the

46

New Zealand Trucking

August 2018

look had become a bit ‘plain Jane’, and with a new Freightliner arriving, the timing was right for a change. She’d seen the farm scene vinyl wrap on some of the Woodley Transport fleet, which at the time were passing through Waikouaiti quite often.

Jodie’s idea was to arrange photos of the local landmarks on the crates, but with the crates being ribbed on this unit the idea was shelved. Instead the plain bold yellow swoop was developed to represent the bay of Waikouaiti Beach, and the historical farm region of Matanaka, home to the country’s oldest surviving intact farm buildings. With this design established, and the addition of some silver and black incorporated in a graphic around the name on the cab door, the look fell into place.

The expansion of the fleet continued with the addition of a 2015 Freightliner Argosy for bulk work, two Isuzu 530s (stock and bulk combinations), and two HPMV 9800i International Eagle 9-axle bulk truck and trailer units. The Freightliner Argosy stock unit has also had a Fruehauf 5-axle stock trailer added, with new Delta crates for both truck and trailer.

The ground spreading division has also received a boost recently with the addition of a second Scania to cope with demand in the area.

On the day New Zealand Trucking magazine visited, company driver Randy Tupaea, who incidentally also doubles as the company’s stock controller, picked up a load of hoggets from Bendigo Farm, not too far from Waikouaiti, and transported them, truck only, out through Dunback, climbing the winding hills to Macraes Flat. Usually Randy would take the trailer on this trip but the poor condition of the roads due

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

The East Otago Transport fleet

to recent heavy rain in the region meant the trailer was left at the yard.

Randy is well known in the area, and a well-respected member of the East Otago Transport team. He takes great pride in his Freightliner Argosy, arguably the flagship of the fleet.

Another key to the success of the company is operations manager Nathan Butler. Nathan moved to Waikouaiti about six and a half years ago. He walked into Waikouaiti Auto and Engineering (also owned by Kevin and Jodie) one snowy morning asking if there was any work available. He was told to come back the next morning. He never left!

As it turned out Nathan started work for Kevin at another of his companies, Southern Water Blasting, starting off as a water blaster/painter before moving into the manager’s role.

Kevin then offered Nathan the management role at East Otago Transport.

“Managing the transport side is very challenging,” Nathan explains, “as the industry is extremely competitive and a low margin type business. This has been a major role for me, coming from a normal 40-hour week with little responsibility, to having the phone ring nearly 24/7. It can be character building to say the least.”

Nathan’s current role still includes looking after the Southern Water Blasting business, as well as another of the Byrne’s interests, East Coast Couriers 2006 Ltd. “I enjoy the busy interchangeable role. At times it seems that the busier you

Sometimes road conditions in this rugged area rule out being able to take the trailer. Left: Driver Randy Tupaea helps offload hoggets at MaCraes Flat.

are the easier it gets,” says Nathan. The courier business was acquired after the former courier firm went into liquidation a few years ago. Two vehicles, a Toyota Hiace van and an Isuzu 4-tonne truck, provide a daily service from Dunedin through to the Maniototo area via Oceania Gold at Macraes Flat. Recently Kevin and Jodie purchased another local freight company called Waikouaiti Freight, which will now become part of the courier operation. In conjunction with this expansion, a new Isuzu 6x4 freight truck has been added, allowing the payload to increase from six to 12 tonne.

And the services and sidelines don’t stop there. East Otago Transport also has a log truck to bring firewood into the yard to be processed in the new Blockbuster 22/22 heavy-duty firewood processor imported from America in January. This allows the company to supply clean dry product direct to the customer.

Nathan said recent investments in new trucks and equipment have been a major boost to the company. “Quality gear brings quality staff and a more professional approach to work. Our customers have certainly noticed the changes, with renewed support coming from all directions.”

The East Otago Transport yard is a regular hive of activity,

with a public weighbridge, and a number of products available at the yard including bark chip, wood nuggets, pea straw, cement, gravel and lime.

Waikouaiti, it isn’t just a small town you pass through; look closer and you’ll find it’s as energetic and enterprising as anywhere in the country. 

es Harrison started his working career leaving school aged 15, to face the university of life and hard knocks.

His first job was at the Horotiu Freezing Works where he stayed for 15 years.

It was an opportunity to purchase a small truck from Davies Transport and run as an owner-driver for them that allowed Les to finally fulfil his childhood dream of driving trucks.

After five years Les could see opportunities to pursue, so made the decision to go it alone.

Discussions with a local building supply company in 1999 led to Les acquiring their crane truck, and with the assistance of his eldest son, Mark, he began managing their client deliveries.

The best part of two decades later, Les Harrison Transport Group has evolved into an organisation with a team of hardworking individuals equipped with a modern fleet that

includes all manner of crane trucks, container transporters, swing lifts, heavy haulage transporters, as well as curtainsiders, including this month’s Top Truck.

Mike Stephens has been appointed driver of the big 9-axle H-plated Isuzu 530 CYJ. Mike is a man a lot like Les who has a passion for trucks and driving that goes back to childhood.

Mike’s driving career started out with early mornings as a NZ Herald delivery van driver for Len Mason on Auckland’s North Shore. Len then offered Mike a step up helping him gain his class 2 licence, and from there moving on to a small 4x2 that handled magazine delivery duties. Wanting to try his hand at slightly bigger gear, Mike spent time with a couple of well-known Auckland earthmoving companies where he experienced 6x2 rigid tippers as well as tipulators. However, it was a miserable Auckland winter’s day when Mike decided he was over playing in the mud, and started investigating other opportunities.

This decision led him to the mighty Waikato and into the cab of a Volvo curtainside truck and trailer unit. After a year, and with change in the wind, Mike spent a day cold-calling Waikato-based transport companies. A call back from Les Harrison and a conversation between the two men had Mike in the driver’s seat near immediately. Now four years later Mike is loving the challenges and variety that he experiences on a daily basis as a driver at Les Harrison Transport.

The big Isuzu is powered by the company’s 15.6 litre 6WG1TCS motor rated at 395kW (530hp), matched to the MUX16 AMT. “There is never a dull day on the job here,” said Mike, “and I really enjoy the ability to get out of town and see the country, and the privilege of piloting this rig just makes it that much sweeter.”

About as sweet as a win on the paddock for the Mike’s mighty Mooloos we would think? 

Founder of RDL Group in Upper Hutt, David’s main line of work is in construction, demolition and earthworks.

David has been driving trucks for 24 years and now leaves the business operation to his son, Benji.

“Driving beats doing office work,” he laughs.

As for problems in the industry, he mentions the common refrain of a lack of skilled people.

“That’s compounded by the fact operators have to make a living, so they can’t always find the time or money to train new staff,” says David.

When given the choice of Ford or Holden, David immediately chooses Holden – then admits he’s buying a Ford Bronco!

David O’Sullivan Hailing from the sunny Hawke’s Bay, David O’Sullivan, better known to many as ‘Stretch’, was about to head north from Christchurch with a load of machinery when Craig McCauley caught up with him.

Driving for Otorohanga-based Main Road Limited, Stretch’s ride is an X15 Cummins powered Kenworth K200 Aerodyne with a 2.8-metre cab. He traverses much of the country carrying both machinery and general freight on an MTE 6-axle drop-deck B-train.

Having spent the past 16 years behind the wheel, Stretch has piloted a variety of equipment both here and overseas, but concedes there is no place like home.

When questioned what the biggest problem currently facing trucking in New Zealand was, his reply was the lack of enthusiastic young people entering the industry.

Stretch chose number 83 from our list of vexing questions and was asked if his preference was heading out for a night at the movies, or taking a DVD at home. The DVD reigned supreme.

PERSON OF INTEREST

Carr and trucks

By Rebecca Hayter

Chris Carr was born into trucking. For more than 30 years, he has adapted his company to meet the market and remains passionate about trucking’s vital role in the New Zealand economy.

A

s a fifth-generation transport operator, Chris Carr knows that New Zealand runs on wheels.

When his great-great-grandfather founded the business in 1862, wheels were made of wood and turned with the type of horsepower that runs on hay. Then metal-rimmed wheels rolled trains around the country, then the pneumatic tyre was developed and applied to trucks, buses and cars.

Chris is a big picture man. He doesn’t see a truck: he sees a nationwide transport system of goods and people. Even buses, he points out, are “trucks with windows”.

In a disaster, trucks in some form are sent in first: army trucks or fire trucks. After the Kaikoura earthquake, trucks went overland to deliver food. When the container ship Rena hit Astrolabe Reef at 2am on 5 October 2011, trucks left Auckland within two hours, taking specialist spill chemicals to Tauranga to minimise environmental damage.

“I think that’s pretty good,” Chris says.

He would like the New Zealand public to see trucks as a mainstay of the economy but he fears most people see trucks as large, lumbering vehicles that slow traffic. In February this year, ex-Cyclone Gita supported his cause when it trashed the Takaka Hill road, lifeline between Golden Bay and Nelson.

Residents of Golden Bay were suddenly reminded that groceries, fuel, toilet paper, medical supplies and retail wares all arrive by truck. And that the region’s primary products such as cream and livestock leave by truck for markets or processing in destinations throughout New Zealand.

When trucks carrying groceries – and toilet paper – finally rolled off an emergency barge from Nelson two days later, they received a cheering welcome from locals. Trucks, thrumming their beautiful diesel sound, were the heroes.

Like many companies of multiple generations, Carr and Haslam has survived by adapting. In the late 1800s it transported goods for the Nathan Family, later Lion Breweries, and products such as Choysa tea and Nestle coffee beans.

When shipping containers arrived in the early 1970s, Carr

and Haslam established a container fleet with swing lifts, skeleton and flat deck trailer combinations for operations throughout the North Island. It exited the container business in 2017.

Its car transport division, established in 1982, is still a major strength, along with moving and storing dangerous materials such as LPG. Carr and Haslam is based in Mt Wellington, Auckland.

It employs 100 staff and owns 80 trucks. These include a Mercedes-Benz Actros that was the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere when Carr and Haslam bought it in 1997. It is still trundling the highways, with more than a million kilometres on the clock. Chris likes the European design and engine, value for money with good fuel economy and low servicing requirements.

“They come with great service plans, parts support and the warranty on them is excellent,” he says of the Actros. “Plus, my drivers love them. They are comfortable and safe trucks and that’s imperative to me.

“Some companies have owner-drivers and some companies have workshops and do their own maintenance,” he says.

“But it works for us to own our trucks and out-source our maintenance. We maintain extremely good relationships with our service providers because we want our trucks to be on the road as much as possible. Our trucks are on the road more than 90 percent of the time and that’s a good record.”

The fleet includes Fusos, Mercedes-Benz and a few others, but realistically, it comes down to individual preference. “Most models are pretty good these days.”

He runs at a high utilisation rate himself; often arriving at work about 5.30am and working until 7pm. He still gets behind the wheel regularly. When a recent storm put 80,000 Auckland homes without power and elderly folk were stranded at home with no groceries or water, Carr and Haslam trucks delivered food and water to their homes. Chris was one of the drivers.

I expect him to say that he grew up behind the wheel, but during Chris’s childhood, a manager ran the company. Chris’s father had bought out the Haslam part of the business in the 1960s and was heavily involved with the Auckland Harbour Board, as his father and grandfather had been. When Chris came of age to stand for the Auckland Harbour Board, it had become Ports of Auckland. “So I didn’t have to get into politics,” he says.

He worked for the family company after leaving school and suffered the novice driver’s rite of passage – embarrassment

– when he reversed a truck into a ditch, spilling a load of pressed asparagus.

Chris was next in line to step into the cab of the family dynasty, but he nearly blew his opportunity, with alcoholism.

At just 21, he faced facts.

“I realised alcohol just wasn’t for me,” he says. He hasn’t touched a drop since.

“It’s hard for my wife,” he says, “because I won’t even eat brandy snaps. I know they don’t have brandy in them but it’s just too close.”

After a few years’ driving and general duties, he headed overseas. Six years later, in 1980, he was called home; the company was in trouble.

Chris puts it down to poor management. His father had got busy with the Auckland Harbour Board and relied on managers but they lacked his passion for the business. The secret to recovery?

“Work,” Chris says bluntly.

Chris worked for virtually nothing until the company regained traction under a new manager, who Chris describes as one of the best transport operators in New Zealand. He instilled in Chris a hands-on style of keeping in close touch with the drivers. “He was an incredible teacher,” he says.

Chris became manager in 1988. He’s been an early adopter of technology and says the New Zealand trucking industry is way ahead of Australia.

“We had ABS brakes in the early 1990s and EBS in trucks and trailers in 1977. They only legislated ABS in combination from 2015. EBS is not required in combination, while every HPMV and many others have EBS and ESC in New Zealand.

Our roads are definitely tougher but our safety record is better than our Aussie cousins.

“Trucks are safer than they have ever been,” he says, “with improved brake systems, better stability, and software that enables a company to see how a driver uses his truck in terms of efficiency and wear.” All Carr and Haslam trucks have GPS tracking for efficiency and accurate delivery times.

He doesn’t believe electric trucks will be widely adopted in the short term. “They need up to 12 hours charging and it’s not easy to get the weight distribution of the batteries right.

“In some applications they will work well and Waste Management seem to have a viable electric option in development. Others will come as battery technology improves and other motive technologies will join batteries, like hydrogen and stuff not even invented yet. In the immediate future

though, diesel will remain as the prime energy source.”

He believes safety depends on pre-empting problems before they happen, a policy that has been tested with the rerouting of State Highway 1 to State Highways 63, 6, 65 and 7 through Lewis Pass following the Kaikoura earthquake.

After one of his trucks only just recovered from a sideswipe from an unidentified truck, Chris imposed an 80km/hr speed limit for his trucks on the Lewis Pass route. It added time and money but gave drivers extra seconds to see each other. He also banned his trucks from driving the route during the darkest, most slippery time of night from 9pm to 4am.

A truck’s safety and efficiency is only as good as its driver, he says. “Like everyone, truck drivers have their challenges. They have break-ups, family members who get ill, and they spend a lot of time on their own. It’s important that they have the support of the trucking family around them.

“We like to stay in touch with them and know what’s going on.”

The re-routing of State Highway 1 meant drivers could no longer drive from Christchurch to Picton and back within their 13-hour daily driving limit and had to lay over in Picton.

It was a disruption to their home life, Chris says. There is a shortage of drivers so it’s important to keep them happy.

One area where truckies often get bogged down, he says, is money. “They are highly skilled in what they do, but they’re not always great with money. So sometimes we can help with advice to help them through that. I’ve done a lot of that.”

He’s a worthy mentor, having been appointed to the Chamber of Commerce board in March 2007, is a member of the Auckland Business Forum and a former director of Rally NZ and of the Auckland Regional Land Transport Committee.

The roles reflect his sense of responsibility to the industry.

“Trucking and rail can work side by side, because there are a lot of places around New Zealand where trains simply can’t go. It’s too mountainous and hilly. And the railways adopted narrow gauge right at the beginning, which in hindsight was a mistake. It’s different from other countries and has given rail a legacy of difficulties that are impossible to resolve without spending billions. New Zealand is a small country in population terms and 4.7 million people can’t afford the same things that a country of 25 million or 125 million can.”

So what is it, really, that he loves about trucking? “It’s into everything,” he says. “Every part of the economy, trucking is there. Many people fail to recognise it and it sounds a bit clichéd, but trucks really do carry the country.” 

Cummins ADEPT – how it works Words and photos by Howard Shanks

If you happen to drive a truck with a late model Cummins X15 coupled to an Eaton UltraShift PLUS transmission, then chances are it will be equipped with Cummins ADEPT.

A

DEPT (Advanced Dynamic Efficient Powertrain Technology) is a suite of electronic features designed to deliver greater efficiency through improved powertrain integration. So, there is not much in terms of any exciting gadgets to look at because the

heart of the ADEPT system resides inside the engine ECU. The ADEPT system utilises intricate technologies to sense vehicle load, speed and grade, then initiate adjustments to the engine’s power and torque while prompting the best possible transmission gear selection to take advantage of vehicle momentum for better fuel economy.

This means that along with advanced diagnostic and engine programming functions in the X15’s ECU, the ADEPT software delivers, from the measurements and calculations described above, what Cummins call SmartCoast and SmartTorque.

SmartCoast is essentially a roll mode, that operates when the vehicle is on a moderate downhill grade by disengaging the gear in the front part of the transmission, allowing the engine to idle, which reduces drag, maintains momentum, and

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Cummins X15 Droop diagram

ultimately improves fuel economy.

SmartTorque is described as Cummins’ unique torque management intelligence function that eliminates unnecessary downshifts to keep the engine operating in the most fuelefficient sweet spot. The engine’s torque is varied across all gears depending on torque requirement. For instance, when a truck is empty the X15 with ADEPT may determine that only 60 percent of the maximum torque is required to maintain the most economical momentum. On the other hand, once the vehicle is loaded the ADEPT system instantly senses the load, allowing the full torque when required to maintain maximum economy and performance.

The interesting thing about ADEPT is that the engine actually started life as an ISXe5 and transformed into X15 guise with the rather simple addition of ADEPT software.

This means that if your current ISXe5 engine stirs through an Eaton UltraShift-PLUS transmission, then upgrading to the X15 ADEPT status is apparently as straightforward as a simple software change at your local Cummins dealer.

so there should be one to suit your application in that line-up.

The UltraShift PLUS transmission also includes an Electric Clutch Actuator (ECA) to open and close the two-plate ceramic clutch, which is operated through the transmission’s own control module. This pair of gadgets work together in tandem – using information delivered by the engine ECU to produce silky smooth launches and precise, rapid shifts.

However, thanks to a redesigned inertia brake – or ‘I Brake’, to use an ‘Eatonism’ – gear changes are now completed in approximately half a second or less.

The UltraShift PLUS transmission selects the appropriate gear for moving off. Selection is based on vehicle weight, grade, and available power, the transmission determining when to skip-shift, when to activate the engine brake, when to ‘creep’, and, just as importantly, when to completely ignore the driver.

If the driver attempts to make one of the UltraShift PLUS transmissions do something it’s not supposed to do, it will just beep at him/her.

Automated pluses

For the most part, the Cummins ADEPT works seamlessly in the background without any intervention from the driver. However, to get the most out the ADEPT system’s SmartCoast it is important to understand how to operate the X15 Cruise Control function, which essentially works similarly to the cruise control in your car.

Most modern trucks are equipped with two cruise control switches. The first is the ON/OFF and the second controls the SET, RESUME, ACCEL, and COAST functions. It’s worth noting that OEMs have the flexibility of setting the second switch up as: SET/COAST and RESUME/ACCEL, or SET/ ACCEL and RESUME/COAST, so be sure to understand the way your cruise control switches are set up.

Cruise control switches are also used to control the PTO speed and high engine idle. On a Cummins X15 or ISXe5 the Cruise Control operation will only engage after the vehicle speed exceeds 40kph. By tapping the Cruise Control switches in the correct direction of Set or Resume and immediately

Heavy-duty automated transmissions have been around for a couple of decades now and are gaining wider acceptance.

Eaton has been building them for some 25 years. However, the company’s earlier versions had their limitations and idiosyncrasies. These early AMTs were primarily intended for linehaul applications, and they relied on a centrifugal clutch for moving off and shifting. Unfortunately that technology didn’t always provide the sophisticated executions users wanted, and for a long time they were not favoured by experienced operators.

Nevertheless, the release of Eaton’s UltraShift PLUS turned that around, with smoother and quicker intuitive shifts. In addition, UltraShift PLUS boasts six versions, covering the majority of all trucking applications. There are the LAS and LSE for linehaul, the VCS for vocational construction, the VXP for severe heavy-duty, the MHP for multipurpose high performance, and the MXP multipurpose extreme performance,

releasing the switch, it will activate those functions. Conversely if they are held for longer than half a second then the secondary functions of ACCEL or COAST are performed.

To turn on your Cruise Control: • Flip the ON/OFF switch to ON. • Accelerate to your desired vehicle speed and switch to the Set position.

To increase or decrease your cruising speed: • Tap the switch to increase (ACCEL) or decrease (COAST) your cruise speed. Each tap will increase or decrease your speed by 1kph.

To stop using Cruise Control: • Press the brake pedal, or • Press the clutch pedal • Flip the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

To resume using Cruise Control: • Be sure the ON/OFF switch is ON. • Tap the RESUME switch.

Droop settings

How Cruise Control performs on grades is determined by the Droop Settings. In engine makers’ lingo ‘Droop’ describes the rate of change when approaching the maximum control limit.

Therefore the ‘Lower Droop’ setting is used to control how your Cruise Control operates on downhill grades. It controls fuelling as the vehicle descends the grade, and can be set at 0, 2, 3, or 5kph depending on desired performance and speed control.

If you wish to limit fuelling at your maximum vehicle speed it should be set to 0kph. However, settings of 2, 3, or 5kph will allow the engine to give extra fuelling 2, 3, or 5 kph above the maximum vehicle speed.

What this does is lets you increase the maximum vehicle speed in anticipation of the next grade, although the trade-off

60

New Zealand Trucking

August 2018

is it reduces speed control.

Conversely the ‘Upper Droop’ setting is used to control how your Cruise Control operates on uphill grades. It controls fuelling as the vehicle climbs a grade or accelerates to the maximum vehicle set speed. This too can be set at 0, 2, 3, or 5kph depending on the desired performance and economy. If you’re chasing maximum performance it should be set to 0kph; alternatively if you’re after better fuel economy it should be set to 5kph.

What this means is your engine will receive maximum fuelling right up until it reaches the maximum vehicle speed setting.

Settings of 2, 3, or 5 kph will limit fuelling at 2, 3, or 5kph below the maximum vehicle speed. This has a positive impact on fuel economy, however may slightly reduce the vehicle’s speed during hill climbing. The decision to select higher settings will result in better fuel economy, but slightly sacrifice performance, and that’s up to the individual how they set this.

So, to summarise, the ‘Upper Droop’ setting means there’s a trade-off between performance and fuel economy while the ‘Lower Droop’ settings means there is a trade-off between performance and speed control. The trick is to successfully tailor the lower and upper droops to deliver better fuel economy and maintain suitable performance, especially for vehicles that travel over undulating terrain.

ADEPT operation

With an X15 Cummins, when the Cruise Control is activated, the engine brake switch turned on, and the vehicle is at its set cruise speed, any gentle downhill descent (0 to 4%) results in the ADEPT system sending a message to the transmission to disengage the gears in the front of the transmission, allowing the engine revs to return to idle. The momentum of the vehicle is maintained by using gravity and the vehicle mass; if the vehicle reaches the pre-set ‘Lower Droop’ the transmission will engage the correct gear and the engine brake will activate to maintain the vehicle speed.

On the other hand, if the vehicle speed falls below the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ ‘Upper Droop’ pre-set speed the transmission will engage the correct gear and the engine will power on to get the vehicle back up to the set cruise speed.

As the driver, you are responsible for the vehicle’s speed and you have to be mindful not to let the vehicle overrun the speed limit while ADEPT has activated SmartCoast.

So here is where it gets interesting. If you have your ‘Lower Droop’ set to the maximum 5kph and you have the cruise control set at 100kph [Australia – 90km/h for NZ] then the engine brake will not activate till the vehicle speed has reached 105kph [Australia 95km/h for NZ] which is an over speed.

One option is to reduce the ‘Lower Droop’ set speed to compensate and safeguard against an over speed occurrence when the cruise control is set at 100kph. However, the tradeoff as outlined earlier means that the vehicle won’t utilise the maximum advantage of the SmartCoast feature on downhill descents and consequently the fuel economy gains of ADEPT won’t be realised.

Alternatively, fuel conscious drivers will opt to have their droop set to the maximum 5kph setting. However, as they approach the crest of the hill they will tap the Cruise Control’s minus or COAST button to reduce the set speed to 95kph on the descent, which will allow the vehicle to take advantage of the full 5kph ‘Lower Droop’ setting, allowing the vehicle to coast further before the transmission engages and the engine brake activates at 100kph.

The same technique can be used in urban environments, such as 50 and 70kph speed limits. Simply by setting the Cruise Control to the desired speed limit the ADEPT will automatically and seamlessly activate without any intervention from the driver.

To get the most out of the ADEPT system the driver needs to tell the engine what is coming up; for instance is the truck about to descend a hill or climb a long grade. How the driver tells the engine is by gentle inputs through the brake, accelerator or cruise control buttons.

One important point to note is that the Cummins ADEPT system has no control over the vehicle’s braking system; the driver needs to activate the brakes when required. Ultimately it is the driver’s responsibility for the vehicle’s speed and safe operation.

So, when you’re behind the wheel of a truck with a Cummins X15 coupled to an Eaton UltraShift PLUS, try the ADEPT system and see how much fuel you can save on your next trip.

Euro tippers in action Story and photos by Niels Jansen

The 27th edition of the TKD show held in Almere, The Netherlands, in early June offered much to attendees wanting to see the latest from the major European off-road and specialist truck manufacturers.

T

he three-day event is said to be the largest of its kind in Europe and hosted nearly 200 exhibitors that in one way or another were connected with the building and construction industry. Over 15,000 spectators enjoyed the static displays, and potential buyers could also

drive some of the vehicles. Many of the all-wheel drive tippers could be tested with a good load of sand on an unpaved track and through a field. Apart from Renault, all well-known makes were present, as well as some smaller manufacturers such as GINAF, GVK and Tatra. Heavy haulage tractors, low loaders and other specialist trailers and machinery for the building and construction industry could also be admired, though not in action. MAN is market leader in the Benelux when it comes to sales of chassis for tippers, mixers, crane trucks and the like. Hence MAN had the largest selection of on/off-road vehicles on display, ranging from the new TGE van to a mighty TGS 50.500 10x8 tipper. Most trucks were presented complete with body. In the highest weight class MAN tends to team up abroad with local suppliers to serve specific market requirements. In Holland that is WVT who develops and produces custom-built steering and lift axles, as well

as suspension systems for fitment to heavy MAN trucks.

This way these chassis can make the best of local weight regulations. Under the theme ‘Strong in Heavy Work’, Mercedes-Benz Trucks NL presented a whole range of on/ off-road chassis at the show. Mercedes, Unimog and Fuso models could be admired at a static display, or in some cases, driven across a sandy field. An Arocs 6x2 tipper chassis was fitted with Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive (HAD), which makes it possible for a more or less standard heavy truck to negotiate a short patch of difficult terrain more easily. Also a Unimog 530 with 4x4 drive that is capable of pulling a 40 tonne load in the rough was available for a test drive. Quite a few of the importers and manufacturers opted to present their wagons in operator liveries, which was a welcome change from customary new truck events.

Volvo showed a FMX 10x4 chassis in a special safety version.

This truck with crane body is based on an X-High chassis (extra high – there is also XX-High) and is good for a GVW of 47 tonnes. The FMX has become very popular as a tough workhorse in Europe. Last year Scania introduced the all-new XT platform and of course this model took pride of place at TDK. No fewer than eight construction chassis were present and most are available ex-factory, reducing delivery time.

Trucks displayed ran from a L320B 6x2/4 chassis to a S580B 8x2/4 NB model with high roof sleeper cab.

DAF showed several 3- and 4-axle chassis fitted with the proven PACCAR MX engines and the new ZF TraXon transmission. Some DAF models had a Wide Spread axle configuration at the rear. Others, such as a CF 10x4 chassis for mixer applications, was fitted with an Estepe mid-lift axle that allows the truck to operate at a total GVW of 49 tonnes.

Iveco is doing well in Europe and exhibited a complete range of vehicles, from the Daily Blue Power that captured the ‘International Van of the Year 2018’ award, to the new XP/NP Stralis and the on/off-road Trakker series that proved its value in the famous Dakar Rally.

Finally, the niche market manufacturers, such as Tatra and GINAF. In the 1960s and 70s the Czech specialist [Tatra] was a well-respected brand in the Lowlands for its sturdy 6x6

tipper trucks with tubular frame and independent suspension.

The formidable off-road capabilities are retained in the new Phoenix Euro 6 series of 6x6, 8x6 and 8x8 chassis. These models sport a DAF CF day, sleeper or Space Cab, and are powered by proven PACCAR MX11 and MX13 diesel engines of 370 to 530 hp. Behind it sits a manual ZF transmission or a TraXon automatic box. The unique Tatra frame and suspension that guarantees unparalleled traction is retained in the new models. For specific markets they are available with an 11.5 tonne front axle, and a steering widespread tandem at the rear.

The Dutch specialist truck maker GINAF that now forms part of the Chinese CHTC Group still builds some one-off vehicles for arduous tasks in the home and export markets.

Pride of show was a HD-Series Mining Truck with 10x6 drive, EVS independent steering, and HPVS suspension system. The 95 tonne GVW giant is powered by a 15-litre Cummins diesel engine of 455kW (610hp). The fitted day cab is obtained from Ford in Turkey. So far 19 of these units have been built for open cast mining activities around the world. For the local market, GINAF assembles multi-axle chassis based on DAF chassis and components in 6x4, 8x4, 10x4 and 10x6 configuration. Additional axles are derived from Sisu.

A spectacular event with weather and temperatures nobody could complain about, although some salesmen secretly hoped for a day with lots of rain and inches of mud to show off the real capabilities! 

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ ROAD SAFETY TRUCK The Safety MAN Road Safety Truck has been on the road for almost a year, with fantastic feedback and constant booking requests. A new young drivers’ programme is now in development, targeting 16 to 24-year-olds. These drivers are new to the road, with little or no experience around heavy vehicles. They have the least understanding of a truck’s capabilities and this makes them the most vulnerable road users.

Unfortunately, this age group is eight times more likely to crash. In 2016, young drivers were involved in 86 fatal traffic crashes, 665 serious injury crashes, and 2,653 minor injury crashes. Of these crashes, the young drivers were responsible and at fault in 78% (Ministry of Transport).

While the messages from the Share the Road with Big Trucks programme are relevant, they need to be communicated in a way that this age group can relate to, with more mature language, animations and real images to illustrate the consequences of unsafe driving around heavy vehicles. This new programme is under development and set to launch later this year. It means the Safety MAN will now have a robust and innovative programme that it can deliver to high school aged students.

A new sponsorship programme has just been released to give businesses and individuals an opportunity to support a road safety initiative with proven success in combatting truckrelated crashes and fatalities. The Safety MAN requires ongoing support to keep it running full time around the country. Different levels of sponsorship are available, please get in touch with NZ Trucking Association for more information.

Delivering success NorthTec Driver Training Story and photos by Mike Isle

first for the Salvation Army, and, for the past year, NorthTec. He is also a former cabinet maker.

We meet at the Kaikohe campus. The campus is in a rather nondescript building set well back from the street and largely hidden by paint shops and automotive workshops.

There is a driver training course going on inside, and outside in the sun is the lease truck Fonterra supplied to NorthTec last year. The trailer unit, also supplied by Fonterra, is back at the Whangarei campus; it is not needed in Kaikohe today.

The truck, a Volvo FM12, is one of two NorthTec uses for driver training; the other is a Class 2 Curtainsider. It is the Volvo trainees will be using today.

The Northtec Driver Training Course is spread over 20 weeks, and three or four days a week depending on requirements. Fifty percent of each course is classroom theory; 60 percent is spent behind the wheel. The course is supported by several transport industry bodies, among them the Road Transport Association, whose northern area executive, Keith McGuire, says is “right behind the course, sees its benefits to the industry, and is eager to support it”.

“Ideally, we would like to have two courses a year at each of our campuses,” says Simon. But, it hasn’t quite panned out that

way – at least not yet.

“We are currently running two courses each at Kaikohe and Kaitaia [campuses], and we are also advertising a second semester intake in Whangarei, Kaitaia, Kaikohe and Dargaville, starting in July. We didn’t initially get the numbers we hoped for in Whangarei in semester one,” Simon says.

Simon hasn’t quite put his finger on why Whangarei has been behind the eight ball in coming forward, but says it is “crazy that our biggest centre in Northland doesn’t have a course”.

Matt agrees, pointing out the success rate NorthTec training has for students: “Eighty percent successfully complete a course. And 68 percent walk into jobs after leaving NorthTec.” The maximum desirable number of trainees per course is 15. In the most recently completed course at Kaikohe 14 successfully completed the course, and there are 14 on the current course.

Simon and Matt are pleased with those results, but both agree it is still a question of quality over quantity. Matt takes up the point: “I won’t sign-off someone unless they prove to me that they have full control of the vehicle and they are safe behind the wheel. They sit a written examination and there is a practical element of that. Then and only then do they get their licence and a New Zealand Certificate in Commercial Road Transport.

“It’s all about putting in the time and effort. Nine times out of 10 they succeed, and we do everything we can to help them.

There is a lot of one-on-one interaction.”

Since it was delivered last October, the Fonterra Volvo has clocked up an average of 10,000 kilometres for each 20-week course. Fonterra provides the vehicle service.

Each student spends a total of 10 hours in the Volvo cab, and another 10 hours behind the wheel of the curtainsider. Practical training involves vehicle inspections, hooking up trailers, and driving on metal roads. Matt says driver safety is paramount, and each trainee on the road is always accompanied by a tutor.

NorthTec employs three full-time equivalent tutors.

The skills the trainees learn are portable and flexible. “When

“This course has been awesome. I love the flexibility of it; to do all my other work, and still study. That’s pretty awesome.”

If Bronwyn successfully completes her NorthTec course, and there is every reason to expect she will, she will be the first in her family to get a full licence.

FUEL FOR THOUGHT This month we’re starting a new round of ‘Fuel for thought’.

It’s a good time, considering the emphasis on energy conservation and the need to think with an ever more conservative mindset when it comes to the utility of the world’s resources. Russell Walsh will be heading up the series. Russell was employed by the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA) for two years from 2014 and was involved with their Heavy Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Programme. He’ll be taking us on a ‘drive’, starting with internal combustion basics and progressing on from there. From time to time he might rope in some guests for comment and input. The idea is to get us thinking a little harder, working a little smarter, and saving a little extra.

The basics

Much has already been written, and will continue to be written, on ways to reduce fuel use, but few articles explain why a vehicle uses fuel. Having a basic knowledge of how a diesel engine works converting fuel into the power to move a truck down the road is essential to understanding the fundamentals of how to reduce fuel use.

The principle of how a diesel engine works has not changed since Rudolf Diesel invented the compression injection engine in the 1890s. A piston moves goes up and down in a cylinder and is connected via a rod to a crankshaft that turns the up and down motion of the piston into a circular one.

Each piston’s four ‘strokes’ – induction, compression, power, and exhaust – are completed in two full rotations of the crankshaft, 720 degrees, hence the term four-stroke engine. The difference between the diesel and petrol internal combustion engine is the absence of a spark plug. The diesel relies on the intense heat generated in the compression stroke to ignite the fuel and air mixture, once the fuel arrives via the injector.

Initially designed to run on peanut oil, this is what we now know today as the diesel engine.

THE STROKES IN MORE DETAIL Inlet, induction, or intake

Initially the inlet valve opens, and as the piston moves down the cylinder, fresh air enters the cylinder through the open inlet valve. As the piston nears the bottom of the cylinder the inlet valve closes.

Compression

At the bottom of this stroke the piston reverses its direction and starts to move back up the cylinder and compresses the air in the cylinder. The compression of the air molecules creates friction, and friction means heat.

Power

As the piston reaches the top of the cylinder a small amount of diesel fuel is injected into the compressed air, creating an explosion that rapidly increases the air pressure in the cylinder, forcing the piston back down the cylinder.

Exhaust

At the bottom of this stroke the exhaust value opens and as the piston moves up the cylinder again it forces the burnt gases in the cylinder out through the exhaust valve. The engine has now completed a full cycle.

There are key things that a diesel engine needs to operate efficiently: • A supply of good clean air. The engine gets this by making the air coming from the air intake pass through the air cleaner, which removes dirt and dust. If the air cleaner is blocked or the airflow obstructed, the engine will not get the good clean supply of air it needs. On older diesels blocked air filters are often the cause of a continuous stream of black smoke out of the exhaust; the black smoke is carbon – unburnt fuel. Damaged or missing air filters can also increase cylinder and piston wear.

• Injection of a precise amount of fuel into the compressed air at the correct time. If too much fuel is injected some of it will not be burnt; another cause of black smoke coming out of the exhaust. If too little fuel is injected the engine will not produce the power it is capable of.

• Exhaust gases must be able to exit the cylinder freely. A blocked or obstructed exhaust system can result in an increase in back pressure on the piston, putting an extra load on the engine. Exhaust brakes work this way.

In today’s trucks technology has largely taken over control of how an engine breathes, ensuring the right amount of fuel is injected at the right time. The basic principle of how the diesel engine produces its power though has not changed, and is unlikely to change in the immediate future.

So, when the engine responds to you putting your foot on the accelerator, or moving the cruise control to give you a bit more road speed, think about the pistons going up and down in the cylinder, and the fuel they need to do what you’ve requested. 

BETTER BUSINESS

Women at the wheel Tech’s role in closing the transport gender gap Meryn Morrison says technology has made road transport an easy, safer place for women to work in.

“T

he only thing not delivered by truck is a baby,” jokes Meryn Morrison, chairwoman of Women in Road Transport www.rtfnz.co.nz/women-inroad-transport/. Each year, 236 million tonnes of freight are moved within New Zealand, some 50 tonnes per person, according to research by Deloitte.

New Zealand’s transport and trucking industry has long been dominated by men. In 2014, the Ministry for Women reported that women accounted for about 16 percent, or 6,000, of the 34,000-strong road transport workforce. Of our 23,000 heavy truck drivers only about 3 percent were women. But women in the industry say that the status quo is being challenged. Across the industry, women are vocally sharing positive work stories and progressing their careers.

Perception is key

Women in Road Transport is one organisation working to create opportunities. The not-for-profit association supports and encourages women in the transport industry through celebrating and promoting their accomplishments, as well as addressing the obstacles and issues they face. Morrison says there’s a way to go when it comes to changing public opinion. “The perception is not our reality. Driving is a skilled profession, and the industry cares about nutrition, diet and safety.”

Drawcards for the role today include better technology and safety standards, improved pay rates, and additional health packages, but the ultimate drawcard is the freedom of the road, notes Morrison. “Where else can you get paid to see the country? A lot of Kiwis these days don’t really get out of their region and trucking is an awesome opportunity – you are getting paid to see New Zealand’s scenery.”

Paula Rogers, executive officer at National Road Carriers (NRC) agrees, adding, “Many women get into it because they

72

love driving. Back when I drove, I felt like the Queen of the motorway.”

Offering a career trajectory

Aside from driving roles, there is a range of other positions within the industry. The ability to move from roles on the road to the warehouse and to the office makes for attractive and interesting career prospects. Rogers notes that the larger businesses she visits have plenty of women in customer service and dispatch roles. She often speaks to college students about the industry. “There’s a myth that it’s a male-only industry, and the students aren’t aware there are so many different roles that are available within the industry – it’s not just about driving.

It’s a great industry because you can really grow and diversify your skills.”

Allowing for more flexibility

One of the major hurdles to getting more women into the driver’s seat is the pressure of balancing the job with family and personal life. “Some businesses are introducing job sharing, making it easier for many women such as mums who are keen to work during school hours, but there needs to be more,” says Rogers. Businesses are also hiring women in the warehouse and office, while training them to get their licences for commercial vehicles. “We are seeing a lot more companies purchase smaller class vehicles to encourage women into the industry, but again, there needs to be more,” says Rogers. Helping people understand the different job functions in trucking and freight makes it a more approachable sector for women, dispelling the myth that long-haul trucking is the only path.

Technology and road safety go hand in hand In industries typically dominated by men, technology and

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ design advances have opened the industry up to make it a more viable and accessible option for women and new drivers.

“Technology is definitely part of the solution,” says Morrison.

“Modern seats, engine diagnostics, air operated covers, and forklifts for loading trucks – it just makes it so much easier.

We’re seeing trucks that drive like cars.” These innovations allow new drivers to pick up the skills more easily.

Morrison points out that GPS technology provides peace of mind and a safety back up for drivers if they run into any problems at night, such as engine issues or a flat tyre. Safety is a major concern says Morrison, “Health and safety on the job is important to women in our industry – especially because of that working alone aspect.”

The 2018 New Zealand Telematics Benchmark Report www. teletracnavman.co.nz/benchmark/general conducted by Teletrac Navman, a global leader in GPS tracking technology and services, found that telematics has become a key technology in the transport sector with almost nine out of 10 (89 percent) currently using or planning to implement telematics in the next 12 months. Safety is a key driver for installing technology – over a third of survey respondents (34 percent) who had telematics tracking systems had seen fewer accidents as a result of telematics.

“Unfortunately,” Rogers says, “media are fuelling this idea that driving a truck is unsafe and the stories can be really off-putting for those looking at getting into the industry.”

Technology advancements have raised the bar for the safety conscious industry. “Technologies like fatigue monitoring are really helpful and making the job a lot safer. We’re also getting

more enquiries for dashboard cameras, to help businesses assess how an accident or incident has occurred, and which party is at fault. And it’s helpful for drivers experiencing an emotional rollercoaster to see what actually happened.” The NRC will contact media to clarify articles if necessary. “It’s actually often the other motorists on the road who are dangerous. The transport industry places a huge focus on driver safety.”

Women in the industry are taking big leaps and both Rogers and Morrison encourage more women to join them. “Seek out Women in Transport on Facebook and follow us there. We post many of our events there first,” says Morrison, who sees social media as a useful tool for women in the industry to stay in touch. Rogers adds, “from hopping in that cab one day, my career just took off.

I’ve met so many great people – it’s just an amazing industry. I could never leave it.”

BUSINESS PROFILE

Roadrunner a Kiwi institution to the core Kiwi can-do. Roadrunner Manufacturing co-directors Matt Avery and Nick Toulmin.

R

oadrunner Manufacturing was established in 1974 by the late Don Ward and began with a staff of just three at its manufacturing plant in Bulls.

Still at the same site, today Roadrunner has 23 staff and offers a wide range of quality products and services, not only to the transport, marine and agriculture industries, but also to other industries requiring any engineered or bulk manufactured products.

“Roadrunner has been going for 40-plus years, starting from a small beginning and developing and growing from there,” says joint managing director Nick Webster.

Nick and partner Bec Toulmin bought into the business almost four years ago, and were joined last year by Matt and Gemma Avery. Matt, the other managing director, previously worked for Profab in Palmerston North for 16 years, 10 of them as foreman, while Nick completed his apprenticeship at Roadrunner and has been with the company for 10 years.

“The core of our business is making fuel tanks, hydraulic tanks and toolboxes,” says Nick, “but we also make air tanks and water tanks, and animal holding cages and service ute fitouts.”

Since 2007 Roadrunner has been the New Zealand distributor for American made OMAX Abrasive Waterjet Systems. There are now four product lines all available in New Zealand through Roadrunner, allowing them to give customers plenty of options to meet their needs.

“In addition to selling them, we use them for our own in-house manufacturing requirements,” says Nick. “They are highly efficient, easy to use and speed up the manufacturing process. There are now 50-plus OMAX Waterjet machines in use around the country.”

Roadrunner make all of their products onsite, from high

quality materials sourced from a large chain of suppliers within New Zealand where possible. They get most of their core materials from INEX Metals and Steel and Tube.

“Everything we make is above import standards,” says Nick.

“We have to back our gear so we can only use quality materials for our products, which is why they are strong and last so long. We have gone away from stock items unless required by some of our customers, to mostly doing custom-built items to suit whatever our clients need. We can make anything, and from a single item to large factory runs – we can cater for any requirements.”

Nick says with the fuel tax coming into effect in Auckland, they are busy making supplementary tanks so operators can avoid having to fill up in the city, ensuring they keep their overheads down and avoid the downtime of filling up twice in one run.

While the transport industry appears to be pretty strong at the moment, Nick feels there is definitely some uncertainty out there.

“However, currently Roadrunner has 14 welders as well as waterjet cutters working flat out to keep up so we cannot complain. Orders are coming in and the stuff is going out the door so we’re keeping busy.”

Nick says in the past trucks would come in from overseas with a 20-litre tank fitted and have larger tanks added here.

“Now they mostly come in with the standard tanks already fitted, so we’ve had to diversify into other markets. Now we tailor the products to suit the market and customer-specific demands.

“We supply a lot of replacement tanks, either when a tank has been damaged, or if there is a change of application for the client, whether it be a larger or smaller volume tank. Today’s

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Craftsman at work.

The quality of what Roadrunner produce, and the pride with which it’s produced is clearly evident.

drivers take huge pride in their trucks and spend a massive part of their life in the cab so we also make a lot of hand-wash tanks so they can wash their hands and faces before getting back in the truck. As well as all the shiny bits to make them feel right at home.”

Nick says up to 60 percent of a toolbox can be wasted space if it’s not built to suit its intended purpose, so Roadrunner custom-builds toolboxes to suit a customer’s requirements.

“We can make any size toolbox a customer requires, and we can fit shelves and custom-build it to maximise the usable space. We build them to suit whatever people are using them for. To our knowledge we build them out of thicker and stronger materials than everyone else, and ours are fully welded. We have a couple of tricks up our sleeve, which is why they last. We also use what we call a forever hinge, which will

outlast the toolbox as long as you give it a squirt of grease every now and then.”

Nick says one of the toolboxes they made was for a Kenworth owner who wanted to carry his coffee machine and golf clubs! Good on ya Kev! In addition to the fuel and hydraulic tanks, Roadrunner also make effluent tanks, farm transfer tanks, water tanks (for fire appliances and concrete mixers), air tanks, brake reservoir tanks, and dangerous goods fuel tanks for tanker trucks.

“It’s not just limited to the transport industry or aluminium, we can manufacture pretty much anything. Being a small rural town we also get cockies coming in to get repairs done in our workshop, as they know our workers are highly skilled.

Roadrunner may be a small town workshop in Bulls but we supply the whole country – from the Cape to Bluff.” 

Mercedes-Benz Actros – Bound to turn-heads on the highway!

Buckie Murray of JD Transport has been driving trucks since he was 18 years old.

He started driving for his father, who always drove and owned trucks, 26 years ago.

Nine years ago he purchased his first truck, and since then he’s gone on to purchase four more. Carting for Foodstuffs on highway from Hamilton and locally around the Auckland area, he’s a big fan of the European trucks for their safety and comfort.

Last month he purchased his first MercedesBenz Actros, and what a truck it is!

The newest member to the JD Transport family is a Mercedes-Benz Actros 2653LS, 6x4, tractor unit with a 2.3m wide ClassicSpace sleeper cab. Towing a 4-axle semi curtain-sider. “It’s better than anything I’ve owned before, it’s beautiful”, says Buckie proudly. “It’s been a bit different getting used to all the safety features, lots of bells and whistles, but everything is designed so well within arms reach”, he says, “it just feels so safe and comfortable.”

“It’s early days but so far we are getting 2.1 – 2.3km to the litre of fuel which we are very happy with. It is great to drive on highway and maneuver around town,” he adds. The truck has two drivers and is on the road five days a week. “My drivers have never been so excited to come to work”, says Buckie.

Painted bright yellow, in the Pak’n’Save colours, the Actros is going to turn heads on the highway! “I plan to continue growing and replacing my fleet over time,” says Buckie. “It’s going to be hard to buy anything else now”, he says. Buckie plans

to add a Mercedes-Benz Actros 8-wheeler to his fleet in the next year or so.

“I’ve really enjoyed the service of Damon Smith and the team at Trucks & Trailers and look forward to an on-going relationship with them,” says Buckie. Trucks & Trailers are specialists in the sales, servicing, and parts supply of Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

LEGAL LINES

Costs in criminal cases

I

was delighted to hear from a reader who called to ask if I could outline the circumstances in which a defendant can apply for an award of costs at the conclusion of court proceedings. He was most interested to know whether successfully defending a criminal case would justify an order for costs and I’m sure that he is not the only one!

If you’ve ever had the misfortune of appearing in court you will already know that if you plead guilty or are found guilty of an offence, the court will normally impose court costs of $130. But what if you deny the charge, proceed to a trial and the judge finds you not guilty? You certainly won’t have to pay $130 court costs, but to work out whether you are able to seek costs depends on an aptly named piece of legislation called the Costs in Criminal Cases Act 1967 (‘The Act’).

Are costs appropriate?

When my clients leave court without a conviction entered on their record, they will often want to know whether they are entitled to any compensation, given the time and expense they have incurred in successfully defending a charge. I can see the logic in this and if it were me, I would want to know what could be done about it too.

The decision to award a sum to a successful defendant towards the costs of their defence is a discretionary matter for a judge under section 5 of The Act. A successful defendant is someone who has been acquitted of an offence or has had the charge against him or her dismissed. In addition to all of the relevant circumstances of a case, the particular factors which the court will consider in deciding whether to grant costs and the amount of any costs are: • Whether the prosecution acted in good faith in bringing and continuing the proceedings; Justice Chilwell observed in R v AB [1974] 2 NZLR 425, at p431, line 11: “In my view it is the Crown’s duty to prosecute once it has sufficient evidence; I would take a lot of convincing that it is the Crown’s duty always to produce a perfect case. If Mr Ward’s submissions were accepted there would be a great danger that prosecutors, instead of placing the evidence they have fairly before the court, would tend to become persecutors and do their level best to bolster up every case by going to extraordinary lengths to close all possible gaps.”

• Whether at the commencement of the proceedings the prosecution had sufficient evidence to support the conviction of the defendant in the absence of contrary evidence;

Whether the prosecution took proper steps to investigate any matter coming into its hands which suggested that the defendant might not be guilty and whether generally the investigation into the offence was conducted in a reasonable and proper manner; The court in Long v R [1996] 1 NZLR 377,381 held that the terms “proper steps” and “in a reasonable and proper manner” mean: “…something less than would be adopted by the reasonable prudent prosecutorial authority; and of course the burden of establishing such would rest on the applicant. It will necessarily be a difficult burden to surmount.”

• Whether the evidence as a whole would support a finding of guilt but the charge was dismissed on a technical point; NOTE: In situations where my client’s defence is based on a technicality that I know that the prosecution cannot cure even after I have brought it to their attention, I approach the police to advise that I will be seeking costs if they proceed with the case knowing that I have already demonstrated why the case cannot succeed. Not surprisingly, this often results in the police asking the judge to withdraw the charge without having to proceed to a costly hearing. I have found this to be a very practical solution!

• Whether the charge was dismissed because the defendant established (either by the evidence of witnesses called by him or by the cross-examination of witnesses for the prosecution or otherwise) that he was not guilty; • Whether the behaviour of the defendant in relation to the acts or omissions on which the charge was based and to the investigation and proceedings was such that a sum should be paid towards the costs of his defence.

As you may be starting to see, obtaining an order for costs is not a straightforward exercise. The idea is an attractive one, but in reality the rationale that has been created to justify the awarding of costs means that you have to jump through a lot of hoops first. Next month, I will explain why it is that more people don’t apply for costs. I will also answer the question that is on everyone’s lips, namely, how much money can I expect if I am awarded costs? 

When you must do 20kph

E

ach day, thousands of New Zealand children catch a bus to school – a total of 53,500 urban students and 49,900 rural students. Moving this many children can be a complicated logistical exercise on a national scale.

The NZ Transport Agency research report School bus safety September 2010 finds that there is considerable concern in the community, especially the rural community, about the number of children being killed or seriously injured when crossing the road to or from school buses. In the 21 years from 1987 to 2007 inclusive, 22 children were killed, 45 were seriously injured, and 91 received minor injuries when crossing the road to or from a school bus. This equates to, on average, one fatal, 2.1 serious, and 4.3 minor injuries reported to the police each year. In addition, six children were killed, 35 seriously injured, and 112 received minor injuries as passengers in school buses during that time. Approximately 20% of school pupils (106,000 pupils) are transported to school by Ministry of Education (MOE) funded bus services.

It’s not clear-cut who is responsible for getting children to school. The MOE’s school transport policy makes it clear that it is a shared responsibility between the State (The Ministry) and the parent/caregiver for making sure that all school-age children make it to school safely.

New Zealand’s landscape and rural areas can make a school bus route challenging and can cover hundreds of kilometres.

Rural roads can be shingle, in some cases full of potholes, have icy corners, and include steep cliffs. The same challenging roads need to be travelled twice a day. When the weather closes in some roads are cut off by snow, or flooded because of heavy rain.

Do you think that the drivers get enough recognition? Many of the drivers are volunteers.

Just how safe is it?

Good practical safety guidelines for parents include: • wait on the same side of the road as the bus stop • park your car well away from the bus stop or other children • teach your children about safe bus behaviour – and practise it with them • encourage your children to wait quietly at the stop and to keep away from the road.

There are safety guidelines for the children as well, around how to get off the bus.

• Get off the bus carefully, without pushing.

• After you get off the bus, wait as far away from the edge of the road as you can, until the bus has moved away.

• If you need to cross the road, wait until the bus has driven past and you can clearly see up and down the road before crossing. Always use the kerb drill¹ to cross.

• Stand well clear of the bus if it is turning or reversing.

Maybe it’s time to relook at the safety messages. Making sure kids are visible is a great start. A hi-vis vest is very cost effective. I have three different school buses stop outside my gate and on a dark dismal day it’s difficult to see children standing on the side of the road.

Making buses more visible also seems like a quick, easy fix.

It’s been brought up several times about having flashing lights.

82

New Zealand Trucking

August 2018

A consultation paper was published by Rural Women New Zealand and Transport Engineering in 2012. The view of the group is that all school buses should be fitted with the proposed flashing lights to be legal to carry school children, and a study was supported by many organisations to carry out a 50-bus trial.

Eight years on there still does not seem much advancement on fitting school buses with flashing lights. From January 2018, school bus operators under contract to the Ministry of Education must have an approved vehicle telematics system fitted to their vehicles.

What is a vehicle telematics system?

Vehicle telematics systems use Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology to transmit information about a vehicle.

AVL devices are widely used in the transport industry to record information about vehicle performance that could affect passenger experience and safety.

Transmitted information includes: • Time • Heavy braking • Location • Sharp cornering • Excess speed.

As a driver what can you do?

• Remember it’s 20 kph on • Drive defensively and to both sides of the road when the conditions passing a school bus • Watch out for children • Be ready to stop quickly.

Remember, no one should lose their life for a small mistake.

More education is needed around the speed limit when passing a school bus. The 20kph both ways rule is rarely adhered to. Not adhering to it makes it very stressful for drivers of school buses, and extremely dangerous for children.

Just about every driver on the road will pass a school bus as some stage so we all need to remind each other. NZ Trucking Association is developing road safety messages as part of the Safety MAN road safety truck programme. Facebook advertisements of common road safety reminders will be distributed and shared. If everyone can share these on their own Facebook pages we should be able to get a large reach. So, when you see one, please share it and help us to keep children safe when they are catching a school bus. ¹ Kerb Drill - www.nzta.govt.nz/walking-cycling-and-publictransport/walking/#crossing-the-road

NATIONAL ROAD CARRIERS

Cost recovery O f recent times almost every second call I have received has been from people concerned over the increasing cost of fuel coupled with proposed regional fuel taxes and a possible RUC

rate review.

Certainly the regional fuel tax affects Auckland at present, but a number of other regions have already indicated a desire to get on board with this concept to help fund local transport projects. They include Hamilton City, Bay of Plenty, Wellington, and Christchurch, and not necessarily for projects that improve the network; a sizeable chunk will go toward passenger transport services and active transport.

Those promoting these modes will argue that spending here will reduce congestion. I agree that we will see growth in these transport forms, and as congestion issues grow, some will transfer from their car to a bus, train or bicycle. But for many that remains impractical. We in the road freight industry have no option but to use the road, and the same applies to many tradespeople and service providers. In fact, there are many instances where it actually reduces congestion when these people go to their clients rather than the client going to them.

Will the current administration with their spending promises see RUC as an easy target to raise funds in order to meet these commitments, hitting us with a substantial increase? You will know if that was the case at the time of reading this.

Whatever the increase, be it in RUC, fuel, a regional fuel tax, or the many other factors that make up the costs of running your business, industry will face substantial increases in operating costs that must be passed on. Through your associations there are a number of resources to assist with this such as the RTF Grant Thornton Cost Index, personal assistance and advice from your association representative, and

we at National Road Carriers Association offer a very good cost modelling tool that allows members to establish the actual costs per kilometre, or per hour, for operating their vehicles.

Once your costs are established often operators find the most daunting task is selling these increases to the client. Nobody likes paying more, and you may well encounter resistance, but if you are prepared it will be much easier to break down and justify the increases you need. Crucial is not picking a figure out of the sky, but providing evidence of your increased costs.

Just because you got a letter from another operator saying their rates were increasing by 10 percent this may not be what is appropriate to the work you do. Currently the RTF Grant Thornton Cost Index suggests fuel is about 18 percent of the national fleet’s operating costs but this may not be the case for you. If you are doing long distance line haul, this percentage figure will likely be much higher; lower in an urban delivery capacity.

Here are two costings I recently completed. The first, a 50MAX unit doing 120,000 kilometres per annum, had a fuel cost of 21.5 percent, while an urban truck at 35,000 kilometres had a fuel cost of 4.35 percent. Recovery with a 20 percent increase in fuel cost for the first would need to be in the order of 4.5 percent on rates, while for the urban carrier it may be less than 1 percent.

Please make sure you are getting a fair return for your costs and services provided. Failure to do so may not only mean not being in business in 12 months, but also makes it difficult for your fellow operator to get their justifiable increases. Increased costs impact on everyone. 

ROAD TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

Time to get your head out of the sand

I

23031

am writing this after attending the first joint regional seminar between Regions Two and Three, Combined Area Road Transport Association (CARTA) in Taupo.

This is something we have been developing to better update members and provide learning opportunities on the many things that are happening in the industry.

I must say what a great day and event. The variety of speakers and discussion was wide ranging, and the comments to me from the members, including some life members, show that we have an industry sector that is keen to get on and develop a stronger voice, and be united as an association to deal with the coalition Government’s plan for transport – as discussed by Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley.

We are going to see change, and as all the speakers noted, change is the new normal.

A key theme among attendees was that all of us have to continue to learn new things and catch up with technology, information, and emerging trends to stay ahead of the game.

The overwhelming takeaway I got from my discussion with the members present is that if you want to stay back in a bygone era with your head in the sand, you are going to wake up one morning to find that the world has moved on.

The pace of change and the need to keep up has never been so apparent. The clear trend that is developing worldwide is the ease of access to abundant information available through the ‘internet of things’; something that’s challenging the traditional role of the representative association.

A big part of that is good for us all, and as technology moves and access to new technologies becomes more available, we should expect to see a continuing level of change.

New Zealand is not immune to this change. In the transport space we are going to see electric vehicles becoming the norm, autonomous vehicles playing an increasingly important role, a higher level of electronic surveillance, controlled access to networks, and new forms of costing models associated with the movement of freight. All this in a more heavily regulated, zero DANI1 TRUCKING AD.pdf 27/5/10 3:12:58 emissions future etc. Technology’s role PM in business will only

increase in the future.

The key is to understand and embrace the change. I must say this is often the most difficult thing for us as humans because many of us fight change even in the face of compelling evidence supporting it. How we adapt to change can be both our strength and our weakness.

One part of adapting to change is coined by an old word that has come back in vogue – resilience.

When looking at resilience and understanding what we need to do to develop it, attitude, optimism, goal setting, action, skillsets, emotional balance, and the willingness to see failure as a form of helpful feedback, have been cited as key attributes.

How many of us can say we have resilience? The good thing it is not something that you either have or do not have, it can be learned.

While it is important for all of us, the RTANZ have also seen this changing environment as important for the future of membership organisations in general.

As an association we have spent the past two to three years looking at adapting to change, through amalgamation and having this conversation with the membership in order to inspire some collective thinking that enables us to provide value to you.

It is sad to see that we don’t have all the membership on the same page in regard to this, and it’s looking like this process is going to take more time and discussion.

We will be doing this, because if we adopt a position of sticking our head in the sand, then as an association our days will be numbered and the value we provide to the membership will disappear and you will be on your own.

Livestock transporters sick of being the ‘whipping boy’

T

he story goes that in renaissance Europe young noblemen used to enlist boys of lower standing as ‘whipping boys’ to receive corporal punishment dished out by their tutors for misbehaviour in class. The strict feudal hierarchy of the age meant that the nobleman’s social status was greater than that of his tutor, meaning that he could not be punished himself, whereby the ‘whipping boy’ would step in to take the punishment on his behalf.

Such an archaic practice is pretty laughable when we look at it through the enlightened lens of the 21st century. However, the metaphor it represents, one of a victim subjected to bullying by others in a more powerful position, is still relevant and is particularly applicable to our industry, which is so often left to carry the can for other, more powerful sectors.

A classic example of this is the way in which livestock operators are being let down with regards to responsible effluent disposal and the washing and sanitisation of their vehicles in order to help combat the spread of Mycoplasma bovis.

RTF and the National Livestock Transport & Safety Group (NLT&SG) have not been shy in voicing concern at the lack of necessary information and support that livestock transporters have been getting from MPI, farmers and meat processors when it comes to the responsible movement of stock.

The way in which the primary sector has failed to implement and properly enforce stock movement regulations as is their obligation under the National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) scheme is extremely disappointing to us and has left transport operators feeling exposed and wondering whether they are doing the right thing when carting animals.

The NAIT regulations were put in place for a reason.

The problem is only a small proportion of farmers ever took them seriously, as we are now finding out to the country’s considerable cost with the M. bovis outbreak. Those same farmers are now placing pressure on transporters to clean and sanitise their vehicles, yet still steadfastly refuse to shoulder any of the responsibility for animal movements, including paying for the additional costs or providing the appropriate cleaning facilities.

Imagine if M. bovis was an outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease. In that nightmare scenario it would clearly not be acceptable to leave the burden of responsibility for cleaning and sanitising vehicles solely with transporters, yet the primary sector doesn’t seem to appreciate that the principle here is just the same.

The same rule should also apply to effluent disposal. Despite agreements that require farmers to adequately stand stock off

green feed prior to transport and the provision of appropriate effluent disposal facilities by local authorities and meat processors, the transportation of animals and what happens on the stock truck is still treated as solely the responsibility of the transport operator. It’s an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude that leaves transporters having to deal with what is fundamentally not their problem.

At the end of the day effluent is a waste product of farming, which the last time I looked is a $15 billion industry in New Zealand, so why should the poor old transporter be left alone to deal with cleaning up the mess! The fact is that livestock transporters are more than happy to continue to play their part in the responsible movement of animals but are just sick of being the primary industry’s ‘whipping boy’.

RTF, its member associations and the NLT&SG will continue to engage with councils, disposal site owners and local meat processors to find a better solution to this problem, however sometimes it feels as if we are banging our heads against a brick wall. Local government and the primary sector just don’t want to step up and facilitate the appropriate disposal of effluent or washing of trucks and MPI seems reluctant to force them to do so.

Transport operators experiencing issues with effluent disposal and vehicle washing should seek the help of their NLT&SG representatives or relevant road transport association representative. RTF will also continue to lobby local and central government to force the primary sector to start pulling its weight.

…effluent is a waste product of farming… a $15 billion industry in New Zealand, so why should the poor old transporter be left alone to deal with cleaning up the mess!

MEMBERS’ REVIEW Morgan Engineering Ltd NZTTMF Member since: 1994

John Sherwood is just the second owner of Morgan Engineering Ltd. Not bad for a business that has been going for more than three decades.

And certainly it is testimony to the consistency of service and management experience that are the hallmarks of this Whangarei-based trailer builder.

John purchased the business off founder-owner, Brian Morgan, in 2006. The company had already earned an enviable reputation for building heavy vehicle trailers and manufacturing steel and aluminium bins on tip trucks. In fact, they were renowned nationally for their craftsmanship in these areas.

John wanted to retain that; it was kudos to the company.

However, he wanted something more—something added. He wanted to build a company, and a reputation, in structural sales.

He succeeded. Today Morgan Engineering has a reputation for building large well-built trailers—trailers that are known throughout New Zealand for their durability and resilience under the most trying of conditions.

For the current portfolio that means everything from aluminium tip units, through to flat decks, tankers and curtainsiders. Morgan Engineering also designs and manufactures heavy-duty safety cabs for the forestry industry, have a fully-equipped structural engineering department, a

precision machine shop, guillotine and press facilities, and a chassis straightening pad which is used mainly for insurance work.

All told, that makes Morgan Engineering— as John says of his quality focused team: “one of the best and most versatile truck and trailer fabrication workshops in New Zealand.”

If you are a transport operator, they are certainly worth having a chat with.

And for anyone who would like to be part of a highly motivated team and has experience in heavy fabrication, Morgan Engineering would also like to hear from you. They offer interesting work, a great Whangarei lifestyle, and the chance to be part of a team that is really among the very best.

BILL’S FIRST TRUCK 1933 International D1

YEAR: 1933 MAKE: INTERNATIONAL MODEL: D1 ENGINE MAKE: WILLYS-OVERLAND ENGINE TYPE: SIDE VALVE 6 CAPACITY: 3,490 CC GVW: 1,996 KGS ORIGIN: USA

MAKER: INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY The International D1 was actually built by Willys-Overland of Toledo, Ohio. In 1932 an agreement was signed between International Harvester and Willys-Overland to badge the Willys C113 light truck as an International.

International used this truck from May 1934 to May 1935 and then it was sold to Frank Harper of Tinwald, NZ. He sold it back to International in July 1939 and they resold it in January 1940 to J. G. Kevern of Clarkesville, who owned it until December of 1967, when it was purchased

by Suzanne Talbot. Bill Richardson bought it in Christchurch for $170 in January 1968 and drove it to Invercargill with his 18 month old son, Harold next to him. It has the next engine number over from Robert Richardson's (Bill Richardson's grandfather) 1933 International D1. It has only travelled 45,000 miles (72,000kms) and runs well.

THE LAST MILE

Join the dots N oble as they may seem, the Government’s intentions to build heaps of houses, build more classrooms, repair dilapidated hospitals, plant a billion tress, reintroduce trams masquerading as light rail, and push money into walking and cycling initiatives appear to me to be very short on one basic element: how. Almost every day we hear there is shortage of tradesman who can do the work, so unless there is a sudden and dramatic increase in the number of suitable people, falling from the sky maybe, I just cannot see how these noble intentions can be realised.

Perhaps I have lost it, but the way I see it is if you employ a person to build a house, that same person is not available to build a school classroom at the same time. On top of this is the fundamental problem that no matter what you build you need material, and material comes on trucks, and there is a shortage of truck drivers – join the dots! I don’t know how many truck trips are required to build a house, or lay tram lines, but perhaps somebody should do the maths and tell the Government.

Given that this Government is predictably anti-truck, happy

to take the RUC we pay and redirect the funds away from the purpose they were paid for, the chances of them taking note of real world stuff is not that great, especially when you consider our inability to sell ourselves as the essential industry we are.

No one can argue that the shortage of tradesmen is now chronic, but in none of the comments I have heard about tradesman is the shortage of drivers raised. I guess this is because truck driving is not considered to be a trade. Whose fault is this? Ours. We continually undervalue ourselves and the services we provide. Try getting an electrician around to your house to do a small job; many are not interested and if they do turn up you need to take out a mortgage to pay them.

It’s not the Government’s fault there is a shortage of drivers and we should not be expecting them to come to our aid and help. We have repeatedly squandered the opportunity to provide on-the-job training; instead we have surrendered this to private organisations, which like ourselves, are in business to make a dollar.

Managing, and setting the standards for our industry is an industry training organisation that also manages training for a diverse range of other industries including gas operations, infrastructure, industrial textile fabrication, and panel beating. How they manage to do equal justice to each is beyond me. Some time ago we used to have our own industry training organisation but a lack of industry support for training, together with the moneygrabbing antics of some of the private training providers, led to this falling over.

All too often we hear about the poor quality of our driver training system, especially the quality of many who get their truck licences through this system; some are just unemployable.

I recently read an article in an Australian trucking publication that said, “The poor quality of the driver training system is an insult to Australia’s expert, hard-working truck drivers, who have spent many years learning their profession”. Substitute New Zealand for Australia and this summarises the situation nicely.

We have created the driver shortage situation by our own short-sightedness and apathy. We must stop bleating like lost lambs; few listen and even fewer care. We must take responsibility for fixing our industry, without any corporate welfare via the Government.
