It’s not about ‘them or us’

hope you all got a chance to read the New Zealand Listener 2 to 8 December issue. Aside from a despicable cover line that appears to draw its line of reasoning from an intellectual cesspool akin to that of the US gun lobby, the article is actually fine. It starts adhering to a modern-day news reporting ‘kick things off’ fundamental by finding a pro-rail anti-truck zealot, in this case a career rail man and unionist who’s apparently spent much of his life when in a car swerving to avoid loads falling off trucks. However, after that it raises many real issues, some of which I’ve touched on previously, e.g. using pure accounting as the yardstick for the sustainable progress of humanity. What it fails to point out are the reasons why there are so many trucks on the road and what they do. No one who owns a truck owns any more of the things than they absolutely need. The trucks are there as a result of demand from a society that’s not only tending more and more to the purchase of wants over needs, but one that’s abusing the affluence that our forebears worked so hard to provide via an impatient petulance, intolerant of delays or saving for the things they want, essentials like an iPhone X. It also fails to point out who kept the South Island from economic meltdown over the past 12 months, nor does it recognise the influence of skyrocketing immigration on demand and consumption, and the relationship between that, infrastructure and congestion. Lastly, it also fails to acknowledge the best practice business preachers of the early nineties cautioning on the profit-sapping effect of inventory versus the green-backed nirvana of just-in-time. Thank goodness the author of the article found Don Braid. The only part worth reading is the last page, ironically. Yes, there’s exhaustive detail on how rail was dealt a savage blow by its original architects, aggravated further by the bludgeoning it’s taken in recent history by a series of either ignorant or manipulative owners. But as we say in trucking, the windscreen’s for looking forward and the rear-view mirror for looking back, and the size of each should determine where your attention ratio lies. The author attempted to foster a ‘them and us’ theme, something forum boss Ken Shirley appeared to fall for, although it is hard to know how much his words were manipulated, but Braid stopped her in her ‘tyre tracks’. He was adamant we absolutely need more freight on rail. He pointed out that even in its decrepit state our rail functions better than many other rail systems Mainfreight deal with around the world.

New Zealand Trucking

November 2017

Don Braid is absolutely right; we need freight on rail, no question. If rail produces less CO2 per tonne per kilometre, then fix it up and get freight on it – it’s a public health issue. We’ve been at peak trucking for years, unable to fill the required number of drivers’ seats needed to move the freight. Shifting more freight on rail isn’t going to threaten the livelihoods of truck drivers – we don’t have enough now – neither will it have an impact on the requirement for more trucks. A cohesive multimodal transport system is what we should be aiming for. Whether society will allow any government time to put that in place is another question…after all, they’ll want it ‘Now!’ (And for that you need a truck.) As we all head off on our end of year breaks, the team here at Long Haul Publications would like to wish you an extremely happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year. It’s been a tough year for our industry, with the loss of some passionate and influential people. We thank you all for the unbelievable support we’ve had from you throughout this year with John’s illness and then at the time of his death in October. We have some amazing plans for the future and are more driven than ever to bring you New Zealand’s best trucking media. Take care and remember – the vehicle in front is not holding you up at all in all reality, so just enjoy the drive. All the very best to all of you from all of us.

Spate of incidents spur research initiative

our serious collisions between heavy vehicles and trains in three months have highlighted a worrying trend, according to rail safety charity TrackSAFE NZ, which is launching a research project to help improve safety for heavy vehicle drivers around railway level crossings. Market research company UMR has been commissioned to undertake the study, a collaborative project with the NZ Transport Agency, KiwiRail and the Road Transport Forum. The project is based on heavy vehicle operators’ feedback on their experiences around level crossings. TrackSAFE Foundation NZ manager Megan Drayton said the research is an exciting undertaking. “This will be the first study in New Zealand that specifically takes into account the views of heavy vehicle operators. We really hope the insights we get will lead to improvements in safety for truck drivers as they drive over level crossings.” Drayton said while collisions between trains and heavy vehicles are relatively infrequent in comparison with vehicleto-vehicle accidents on the road, they have the potential for considerable loss of life and serious trauma. Since 2010 there have been more than 23 collisions between trains and heavy vehicles. In October 2017 the driver of a Waste Management truck was killed in a collision with a train in the Bay of Plenty. There were also three other heavy vehicle collisions in 2017 - south of Masterton, at Te Puke, and south of Invercargill “These incidents can be devastating for everyone affected,” Drayton said. “Each and every collision has a traumatic impact not just on the victims and their friends and families, but also the wider community and the rail staff involved.” Drayton said there have also been more than 300 reported near misses and the frequency of those is increasing. As at September 2017, train drivers reported 33 near misses with heavy vehicles across New Zealand, up from 24 for the same period the year before – a rise of 38%.

The trend may in part be due to improved reporting, as well as increases in the frequency of train services and the number of kilometres travelled by trucks. Canterbury, Auckland and Waikato have recorded the greatest number of near misses between trucks and trains. Drayton also notes that there are a number of environmental factors at level crossings that can increase the risk for heavy vehicle operators. “According to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission, around 19%, or 264, of our level crossings have short stacking distances. Short stacking means a long vehicle will not be able to completely clear the level crossing when it is stopped at an adjacent road intersection. “There are also some level crossings where the profile or the change of rate in gradient may not be compatible with vehicles that have low, albeit legal, ground clearance,” she said. TrackSAFE NZ is looking for about 1,000 heavy vehicle drivers to sign up to participate in an initial online survey. All participants go into a prize draw for one of five $200 fuel vouchers. Some of the information TrackSAFE NZ would like to get from drivers is how they perceive the risk around railway level crossings and how those perceptions affect their behaviour around a crossing. For example, some questions may look at how heavy vehicle drivers behave when approaching level crossings protected by give way or stop signs, while others will investigate the degree to which heavy vehicle drivers understand train stopping distances. The research will be used to develop a new safety campaign and provide valuable information for level crossing upgrades and trials of new technologies. For more information about the research please email tracksafe@tracksafe.co.nz or phone (04) 498 2010. To register directly for the research, email karen.connell@umr.co.nz or phone Karen on 04 473 1066.

The research aims to find out why all truck – train interactions aren’t as event- free as this.

Geoff Walsh Obituary

1953—2017

adly, we once again record the passing of one our industry stalwarts. Transport Technology Ltd founder and principal Geoff Walsh died suddenly at his home in Auckland on Wednesday 15 November. He was 64. Geoff Walsh made major contributions to the trucking industry. Many saw him as our pre-eminent engineering certifier, including government and regulatory bodies, and industry associations. Geoff had a remarkable body of experience to offer. He started at Mills-Tui’s Rotorua workshop at 21 and gradually worked his way through various facets of the industry accumulating experience. In 1984, he won the E.J. Brennan Memorial Trust Travel Award which enabled him to travel and work through the USA and Europe. In 1986, Geoff and his wife Paula started Transport Technology Limited, which has since grown to be one of our largest design consultancies. There will be many in the industry deeply saddened by his death. New Zealand Trucking management and staff offer Paula and the Walsh family our deepest condolences.

More relevant qualifications

etter recognising the skills of heavy vehicle drivers by making the qualifications more relevant to them and significantly reducing associated costs is a key objective of work the road transport sector is undertaking with industry training organisation MITO. Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley said qualifications were a key element in addressing the road transport industry’s workforce issues, and refining the training programmes could have a positive effect on staff recruitment and retention. The industry was involved in the review of qualifications, condensing 93 existing qualifications down to five. The training programmes leading to the qualifications now need tuning to make them more appealing to the industry. “Both MITO and the industry recognise more credit needs to be given to on-the-job based training and practical competence,” said Shirley. “Going hand-in-hand with that is greater provision for more flexible assessment. This change would reduce costs and enable people to be trained and assessed as they work.” Shirley says the industry wanted to promote a well-trained and highly skilled profession. “The aim of this work is get to a stage where a person can be more cost-effectively assessed and gain a nationally recognised qualification for displaying their skills on the job.”

New premises on the way at IVECO

VECO New Zealand has confirmed plans for a new wholesale headquarters, retail showroom and parts and service facility in Wiri. The new office will house more than 40 employees, with room for further expansion as the business continues to grow. IVECO New Zealand general manager Ian Walker said it made sense for IVECO to have its own workshop so it could process its vehicles coming off the wharf and also provide top-notch service to its Auckland customer base. The more than 11,000 square metre site will be home to corporate offices, a retail showroom, retail offices, a parts

warehouse supporting the whole of New Zealand, parts and service offices and eight service bays including a Dailydedicated lane, a truck wash and COF compliant brake testers. IVECO New Zealand has seen their sales more than double in the last two years and Walker said a new facility was necessary. The company is also investing in new IT infrastructure to support the growing dealer network and customer base as well as doubling the size of the parts warehouse and parts stocking in New Zealand. The new facility is expected to be fully operational in the third quarter of 2018.

TRT looking after young talent

t an awards dinner last November, Luke Martin was named TRT’s Apprentice of the Year 2017, and Matthew Morgan and Kent Morley were finalists. Luke is an apprentice in automotive parts and accessories merchandising and is a member of the TRT heavy commercial vehicle parts team. Recognising TRT’s talented team is important to the family owned company and as such the finalists were well supported by the TRT team. “TRT currently have 17 apprentices who qualified for these awards, and it was a difficult process to select our three finalists from many very deserving entries,” said managing director, Kevin Chubb. The finalists were selected based on a number of criteria including results achieved, quality of workmanship, and enthusiasm and commitment to their trade. As a large New Zealand engineering company, TRT have

diversified their business over many years and have developed a significant apprenticeship programme internally. Apprentices range from steel fabrication and welding, through to engineers, heavy diesel mechanics, and automotive parts. Luke Martin received a certificate, $1000 voucher from The Tool Shed, and a tool bag, while the finalists each received a certificate, $100 voucher and tool bag.

AZTEC celebrates two decades

otorua was the scene of great celebrations last November when the owners, staff (past and present), contractors, subcontractors and friends of AZTEC Forestry Transport Developments Ltd assembled at the Holiday Inn to recognise the company’s 20th birthday. In total 144 people enjoyed a meal while listening to director Peter Phillips deliver a chronology of AZTEC’s journey, interspersed with strategically placed speakers relevant to specific points in the company’s two decades. Following the more formal part of the evening, entertainment and a party atmosphere ensued. AZTEC Forestry Transport Developments Ltd is a modernday Kiwi business success story. The company was formed in 1997 by three independent logging contractors, Peter Phillips, Ken Angus and Steve Segetin, in response to an invitation to tender for cartage contracts issued by Carter Holt Harvey in their northern region forests. The fledgling company was successful in its bid and operations commenced in early 1998 with four trucks. All three of the original founders still hold directorships and are active in the business today. “Our foundation motto of ‘Quality,

Today in excess of 104 trucks run under the AZTEC banner,” said Peter Phillips. “Tonight’s about recognising the people who have helped AZTEC become a leading player in log haulage in New Zealand. It’s a celebration of their commitment, energy, sacrifice and desire for quality in all they do.” The company’s three founders are still active

Todd Moyle, KiwiRail group general manager network services, and Tim Crow, NZ Transport Agency earthquake recovery manager, talked about the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake and the work done to restore the road and get the rail links operating again. Moyle said restoring the rail link was easier than the road due to the number of tunnels along the route, which meant there was less debris to clear. Crow said there were 10 large slips that blocked the road and there was a huge effort made to get the road open again for Christmas 2017. “The rebuild will not be complete and the road will look quite different. Some parts will be unsealed and there will be lane closures. Work will recommence in 2018 with improvements and resilience. We’re working on resilience, robustness and responsiveness.”

Level crossings – heavy vehicles

TrackSAFE Foundation NZ is launching a research project to help improve safety for heavy vehicle drivers around railway level crossings. TrackSAFE manager Megan Drayton said the project will be based on heavy vehicle operators’ feedback on their experiences around level crossings. “This will be the first study in New Zealand that specifically takes into account the views of heavy vehicle operators.” The research will be used to develop a new safety campaign and provide valuable information for level crossing upgrades and trials of new technologies.

Sector meetings

The conference had four sector meetings – bulk/linehaul, ports, rural/livestock, and forestry – that later reported back to an open session. Key points in this session were: Compliance at customers’ sites particularly in regard to an absence of a ‘one-card’ induction system, even at a company level, for large customers with multiple business units. The need for drivers to gain and renew multiple inductions was a costly process for businesses. Booking times at ports for container traffic. The charging of waiting time to customers to recover lost revenue. Customers coercing operators into increased payment terms and the risks implicated in that. One suggestion included charging a 60-day bank rate for anyone seeking such terms. Safety around container side-loaders and a recent spate of deaths. A Log Transport Safety Council type ‘self cure’

response was mooted in light of the outstanding success of their programme. Driver shortage and the streamlining of the qualifications regime in both time, and number of qualifications from 90-odd to five, improving the value proposition the qualification represents. Changing legislation on animal welfare. Driver health and wellbeing with presentations on work done in the log truck industry to identify and combat sleep apnoea. A presentation on successful share the road campaigns in the log truck industry. Work being done on chain throwing by students in mechanical engineering at the University of Canterbury.

Bernard Hickey – election review

Economist Bernard Hickey outlined on what the new government might focus on. He said there was a ‘youth tremor’ that saw Labour, the Greens and New Zealand First get into power. “This was not on the cards back in June. People thought that English would get in, and they knew Turei would never go into power with Peters. Young people voted – 50,000 extra – and that pushed Labour and Greens up and National down. There are more young people than Baby Boomers and they vote left.” Hickey said Peters was not serious about going with National and proof of that was the fact he signed papers on 22 September to take action against English and Joyce over the leak of details about his superannuation. “The new government has a different approach to housing, a different approach to migration, and a different approach to transport. They want to fix housing affordability, fix youth poverty, and deal with climate change. They want more rail, more apartments, and fewer students.” Hickey said this would mean a fuel tax and targeted rates in Auckland. “Labour/Greens think too much heavy freight has come onto roads and they want to improve regional links and have more rail because more young people than old love rail and hate cars. Moving the port from Auckland to Northport will never happen – the road would be clogged between Northland and Auckland.” Figures showed that New Zealand has three times the level of migration into the UK and five times that of the USA, and Hickey says the levels in both those countries resulted in action being taken to limit the number of people being allowed in. Hickey said the new government wasn’t all doom and gloom for the transport industry as they were putting $1 billion a year into a regional fund for infrastructure and planning to upgrade the Napier to Gisborne rail line, as well as regional airports. “The New Zealand dollar has fallen a bit, but the economy doesn’t look like it’s going off a cliff at all. They want to encourage rail use over road, especially in cities, and make more use of coastal shipping.”

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Abbie Reynolds – Sustainable Business Council

Abbie Reynolds, executive director of the Sustainable Business Council, said that millennials want to work in businesses that think about climate change and sustainability. She said this could be used to encourage more young people into the sector. “Your major resource is your people. Have a leader board for the most efficient driver, and use this as a motivator to reduce fuel use.” Reynolds spoke of a case study involving Icon Logistics in Dunedin. Icon used a fuel efficiency programme to put safety first and lift pride in the company, creating savings and efficiencies as an added bonus. “Over three months they saved 11% fuel, and over six months there was a 98% drop in over-speeds. This showed that you could adapt behaviours to be sustainable and reduce costs.” The new government wants to be carbon neutral by 2050 and this had to be balanced against increasing freight use. “A lot of the cost of doing business is down to freight and transport, so we need to look at sustainable procurement guidelines for freight, such as sharing routes and assets, and using biodiesel. Take time to explore the changes that are coming.”

Mike Bennetts, CEO of Z Energy

In a keynote address about what his company was doing towards the conference theme of resilience and adaptability Mike Bennetts focused on three key areas. Evolution – wasting and using less. He said we have essentially two options in order to achieve a higher level of sustainability, an individual or reactive approach to compliance, a behaviour he labelled a ‘Kayak’, or a unified working together approach he called ‘Waka’. Cleaner fuels – reducing the carbon intensity of the fuels they supply. Z Energy is investing in a biofuel company that uses tallow. At a 5% level in the fuel it reduces 4% of the carbon in their fuel. Disruption – not just being an active member of the Sustainable Business Council, but remaining active as an individual entity e.g. making submissions to government around the Emissions Trading Scheme.

Steve Divers – Sector Workforce Engagement Programme (SWEP)

The trucking industry and the Government’s Sector Workforce Engagement Programme (SWEP) joined forces to get as many as 1000 more drivers into the road freight transport industry nationwide. Dunedin-based Steve Divers, who has a background in compliance, permitting and project management, is leading the recruitment initiative. Divers said doing the same thing over and over won’t work and the industry had to increase number of competent class five drivers. “You need to raise the perception of the road freight industry and also increase the road safety perception of the industry.”

Only about a third of those aged under 25 have a full class one licence, and while Divers said the new government’s initiative to introduce driving classes for all high school students was a good start, the industry also had to step up. He said there needed to be more polytechnics offering heavy vehicle driver training and industry training organisation MITO needed to showcase what it was doing.

Tom Nickels – Waste Management NZ

Waste Management NZ managing director Tom Nickels told delegates why his company was embracing electric trucks. “Sustainability is a key concept in what we do. We had been working on it for three years and the battery technology is what convinced us.” Nickels said they buy conventional trucks and have them converted to electric by EMOSS in the Netherlands. “The first truck was a box body truck and it has been outperforming our expectations. It has a 200 km range and at that we have half the battery capacity left.” Nickels said a rubbish truck stopped between 1200 and 1400 times a day, which meant there was huge regenerative potential. “Over 20% of the energy is regenerative from braking. The stop/start nature of rubbish collection is tough on motors and brakes. The electric trucks are much quieter, smoother, and low maintenance because there is no engine to wear out.” Waste Management has received a $500,000 grant from EECA to help set up a workshop in Auckland early next year. They will import kitsets from EMOSS and do their own conversions, as well as doing conversions for other operators. Nickels said there was no noticeable decrease in energy as the new truck fills because the electric motor has a flat torque curve so power doesn’t drop off under load. The biggest potential was the fuel saving, which was about 125 litres of diesel per day. “We have more than 800 trucks so if all were converted, that’s a significant amount of diesel, about 100,000 litres a day.” Nickels is convinced electric is the way of the future. “An electric motor will last possibly 50 years, so there is real potential to convert secondhand trucks. They are usually retired after seven years because the engine is stuffed, but the cab can have another life with an electric motor.”

Phil Twyford – Minister of Transport

Twyford said New Zealand enjoys a multimodal and efficient system where all modes play their part, and that meant changes to one mode can affect others. He said events like the Kaikoura earthquake showed how important the transport industry was. “You can adapt quickly when needed and the work you do moving freight around the country is important.” As expected, Twyford was questioned over whether the new government would use the currently ring-fenced National Land Transport Fund to fund other forms of transport. He replied that rapid transport should be funded in a similar manner to road transport, and was then asked directly whether his government would blow the NLTF on rail. “I want to reassure you that it’s not my intention. Rapid transport should be funded like road transport and we need to New Zealand Trucking

January – February 2018

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... ROAD NOISE NEWS generate new forms of funding.” He said the government would pass legislation to introduce a 10c a litre fuel tax in Auckland to fund infrastructure, and also road charging/network charging. “That affects demand, and will smooth off peaks. We cannot ask all of New Zealand to pay for fixing Auckland, but the sheer reality is that getting across the city from one side of Auckland to the other is causing losses of $1.3 billion a year because of congestion.” Twyford said there had been a lack of investment in infrastructure and the government had to play a proactive role by committing to improving the safety of regional roads and building a safe and resilient transport network.

Bernard Hickey yet again gave an enlightening and entertaining address to delegates.

Story by Dave McCoid

The Haast Eagle was the largest carnivorous avian predator in recorded human history, preying on Moa and anything else that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paying enough attention. In more recent times the lineage of another line of famous eagles has also been feasting in the stomping grounds of others.

t’s shame in a way we have a small, nocturnal flightless bird as our national symbol. Sad because we were once home to an eagle whose body measured 1.4m in length, who had a three-metre wingspan, and claws believed to be about the size of a modern-day tiger. Our very own Haast Eagle was an apex predator. In trucking circles eagles have been around for as long as anyone can remember too, it’s a name synonymous with the International brand and traditionally identified the top of the product range with all the fruit. Early in 2016 Intertruck released their new cabover model into the market, the 9870, a successor to the popular 9800i Eagle. But this was no ordinary update, this, in a way, is New Zealand’s own International. This is not an American, Brazilian or South African truck tweaked for New Zealand; you can’t buy it anywhere but here. The complete redesign was done here and sanctioned

New Zealand Trucking

by mother Navistar, and close to 40 percent of what you’re buying is made in Godzone, by New Zealanders. Not only have Comer Board and his remarkable gutsy pioneering team at Intertruck yet again upped the ante on their contribution to the top of the food chain in the local heavy truck market, they’ve also provided jobs for Kiwis all over the place in the act of doing so. Quite simply, no other truck on the market is more suited to, and able to quickly take advantage of VDAM changes, and no other truck is more customisable. Readers will remember we tested the first example of the 9870 to put a load on its back in March 16; a logger commissioned by Self Loader Logging in Rotorua. Since then much rubber has been left on the road and anyone with half an eye for trucks couldn’t help but notice the distinctive 9870 grille popping up with increasing frequency. If you ever needed a confirmation of your efforts, then an increasing

January – February 2018

market presence, a strong order book, steady return custom, and the fact one of the oldest names in global truck manufacture is happy to have their name attached to your work, are certainly it.

With a Twist

The Twist Trucking 9870 is the first of the breed to enter service in the high-profile Hawke’s Bay Fleet, and so if you’re going to tick ‘first’ boxes, why stop there. In a move to better optimise vehicle utility it’s also the first truck in the fleet set up as a bi-fold tipper. Managing director Tom Twist cited tare, “a red engine” [Cummins], and competitive pricing as the key reasons for the purchase of the International. “Like most, we’re always tare conscious but more so on this one with all the extra gear that needs to be carried around,” said Tom. Driver on the new truck is Clint Flemming. He’s been with the company a little over three years and came off a

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Freightliner Coronado bulk unit to take on the 9870 bi-fold. Clint’s driven a variety of gear over his career although the dominant brand has been Kenworth, so his thoughts will be interesting.

“It’s not the looks, it’s what’s on the inside.”

True as we like to think it is, any self-respecting academic of the natural or psychological world will tell you it’s a load of codswallop. Looks count and first impressions mean everything. In the world of truck manufacture it’s a lesson some have failed to get on more than one occasion. Whenever a new model is released the first thing you hear on the grapevine is “Looks good,” or “Yeah that’s cool aye?” or “OMG who beat that with an ugly stick?” When Intertruck pulled the covers off the 9870 and revealed it to the world everyone knew they had produced something that was – in primal mammalian parlance – heading straight for the centre of the mating circle. There’s no disputing the 9870’s good looks, and it has to be said, looks that are significantly better than its predecessor (God bless SCR’s lesser requirement for cooling is all we can say). And if you ‘are’ a sensitive new-age person, things certainly don’t take a dive on the inside either, cab or drivetrainwise. The cab is as good as any, and

better than some, and the running gear will likely deliver on International’s longstanding reputation of reliability and ease of ownership.

Check sheet

The Twist truck is a 9870-90 TSLR low roof with a 90-inch sleeper. It’s running a 15-litre Euro 5 Cummins X15 and being the X15 it deploys SCR only as the means to the emissions end. In Cummins speak the X15 is an “evolutionary development” of the previous ISXe5 with improved fuel economy and maintenance intervals. The engine produces 458kW (615hp) at 1600rpm and 2780Nm (2050lb/ft) all the way from 1150rpm to 1500rpm before it starts to tail away. Bolted to the rear of the X15 is an Eaton 20918B manual transmission and further back Meritor’s 46,000lb rated 46-160GP XLFR axles sit on the International’s IROS (International Ride Optimized Suspension) air suspension. Up front are Meritor Widetrack MFS14-143A axles on 3-leaf parabolic springs.

Eaton UltraShift Plus AMT the smart bits in the engine and gearbox have constant toolbox meetings about optimal power and gear settings in relation to load, grade, and drag, and decide on the best gear, optimal power, and how to best utilise existing momentum to return a utopic state of productivity and fuel consumption. Cummins say it can affect fuel burn by up to 6% over a non-ADEPT drivetrain. When quizzed on the gearbox choice Tom Twist said, “We almost tried an AMT but the general mood was not this time. We had a couple of early HD Euro Fuso trucks and they had AMTs. The drivers weren’t keen on them at the time.”

Let’s go!

Being a Hawke’s Bay lad with a driving career approaching two decades, Clint has crossed the Napier-Taupo Road more than a few times. It’s a road that needs a beast to tame it if you want reliability in your trucks – particularly in the era of HPMVs. If we’re talking around the theme of apex predators, it’s probably the road network’s equivalent, rapidly despatching any truck that’s not up to its

New Zealand Trucking

demands to the knacker’s yard. Shortly after jumping in the cab you realise you’re in safe hands. Clint obviously knows this stretch of road well, and the 9870’s not going take any crap from it either. Loaded with bulk product bound for the far north and running bang on 50 tonne, the five-week-old X15 hoes into the formidable track. The first thing that is apparent from inside is the beautiful note emanating from under the floor. There’s no doubting this is a truck you’d be happy to spend a day in purely for the silky X15’s guttural engine note. For those not accustomed to long hours in a truck cab it may seem a trite statement, but nothing fatigues a driver faster than an annoying noise and if that’s a whiney engine, we’ll argue to the hilt with any self-claimed health and safety boffin the impact of that on the driver’s ability to focus. You want to drive the X15 well so you can hear it do its thing. It’s joy in sound bites. Driving big trucks has changed so much over the years. Gone are the days of ‘Just keep it spinning!’ The X15’s magic mark is around 1500rpm right where the green ends on the tach, and

January – February 2018

where torque checks out. Right at that point it’s sitting on the peak 2780Nm (2050lb/ft) of torque, and power is around the 432kW (580hp) mark, steadily climbing to its high point at around 1650rpm, at which time torque is descending through the 2698Nm (1990lb/ft) barrier. Anything above 1650rpm and torque’s rapidly becoming a distant friend and power’s sitting dead flat; all you’re creating is noise. Sure, given the moment to moment circumstance there might be impetus to take into consideration, but generally, if you’re old school ‘NTC’ing’ it up the top end, then NOx and soot aren’t pouring out the exhaust but money certainly is. What all this equates to is a truck that trundles through the rolling country, big rolling country, with sublime ease. Fifty tonne felt like 39 did behind a 400 Big Cam, the engine note changing and the gear lever staying put. On the big climbs, Titiokura, or the last pinch on Tarawera etc, the truck immersed itself in the job and fought for every gear – we love that – and the toughest things got was 4th high at 1650rpm and 28km/h. And it’s only five weeks old. There’s certainly a lot more to come. The world

is a changing place for sure, but there is still no replacement for displacement. The venerable Jacobs brake is an effective holder of proceedings on the descents too, with a max of 447kW (600hp) of stopping power on tap if you’re willing to spin the engine up to 2100rpm. We say ‘willing’, because as our ears have become accustomed to modern driving techniques with today’s engines, hearing a big bopper revving out can be disconcerting. However, even at 2,000rpm there’s still 425kW (570hp) available. Yes, the 9870’s not going to come down hills as quick as the modern Euros festooned with retarders can, but that’s a good thing. Being able to career down the Titiokura, Kaimais, Kilmog or even the Bombays on a retarder and believe it’s good driving because you’re barely dabbing the brake - if you’re touching it at all - is a fallacy. Mother Nature’s a nasty cow at times and one of her horrible henchmen is gravity. Your 5-stage retarder is going to be as much use as a boxing gloves at a gun fight if you round a blind descending corner fully loaded at 70km/h and are confronted with a car and caravan jackknifed on a bridge 200m up the road

with an anxious family looking at you through the windows. In the right hands the retarders are a great tool; with the wrong brain at the other end of the lever, they’re a death trap. Clint came down most climbs in 5th high needing only the occasional touch on the middle pedal, with plenty of time and space in hand to take action if he had to. Handling through the ups and downs of the journey north was superb. This is a big solid truck built for New Zealand. Intertruck know their own back yard, and how to set a truck up so the driver has no anxious moments. The big Inter just wound its way around the tight stuff and barrelled through the open road curves with impeccable sure-footedness. On occasions when the surface starts to cut up rough, the cab gives a series of classic US cabover ‘nods’, but that’s all we detected, although Clint did say “on shocking stretches like the run out to Pongakawa and Pukehina on SH2 in the Bay of Plenty, running empty, it’ll give a good old ‘nod”. There’s a remarkable absence of noise in the cab. Like we said above, the engine note is a symphony but the entire range of activity occurs between 68 and 71dB

– doesn’t matter what it’s doing. The Jacobs was remarkably subdued and the biggest intruder was the engine fan. Clint and I chatted happily across the void. I guess it stands to reason a high, wellinsulated cab with an underfloor engine is going to send the sound straight out the back. To date the 9870’s returned 1.5kpl (4.23mpg). It’s a new truck running at a high load factor on the North Island’s unforgiving terrain and appalling road surfaces, so all those things considered, that’s about what anyone should expect. We’re sure that figure will improve with time, but our country’s terrain and the laws that govern truck operation are what they are. Neither lend themselves to optimal fuel burn.

STAND OUT We caught up with Intertruck salesman Jarrod Maclennan, “The Twist Trucking’s simple and bold livery certainly stands out in my travels around the central and lower North Island. It was a great opportunity to be given the chance to quote and work through the build with Tom and Neville. To see the finished product out there working is cool. It certainly stands out.”

New Zealand Trucking

Summary

A superb redesign and state-of-the-art running gear has given the Intertruck operation a product that will sell itself. The 9870 is a champion Kiwi success story no matter how you look at it. It’s a truck that fits a style and mould that won’t appeal to everyone. If your buzz is something that’s oozing with tech, embellished with a million sensors that even tell you your fly’s down, then the 9870 probably won’t be the answer. But if you’re a patriot into hauling big loads in a strong reliable machine that’s sure-footed, treats the driver well, one that can be tended to by a ‘mechanic’ on a fert strip in the back of beyond, and one that the accountant will love, then this might just be your top of the food chain answer. Oh, and as for the Eagle nomenclature? The 9870’s emblem was – you guessed it – made right here. As a result, the marketing team chose to drop the Eagle badge as a generic item, but have it available on the custom builds should the customer so wish.

January – February 2018

Like we said above, no New Zealand trucks are more customisable than the Internationals produced at Mount Maunganui. Chassis-wise they can do pretty much whatever you want and within the bounds of reality and plain common sense and that goes for speccing up the cab. They start life as a bare imported shell and after that it’s pretty much Aotearoa all the way. The 9870 redesign was all done here, grille, lower cab panels, steps, light assemblies – the list goes on. This sexy beast is ours. If you’ve come from a US truck heritage then this ‘AmeriKiwi’ fits like your favourite Laredos or Red Bands. You’re instantly at home. There’s plenty of buttoned vinyl, woodgrain, and heavy, dense well-secured plastics. From a fit and finish perspective take a bow the fit-out team at Intertruck. Your work is as good as we’ve yet seen for North American product. Riding in the International, the sounds it makes and the ambiance conveyed in the cab feels like the best product emanating from that region. Hopefully, like those products, it will still feel the same in a decade. The Twist truck had a top of the line seat for the driver and the passenger one was bolted solid as is usual for most trucks nowadays. Obviously the ride in the driver’s throne was as you’d expect, but in this highway application the passenger will be quite happy also. We think the low roof sleeper increases the cool factor markedly. High rises in this day and age are a bit like belly buttons – everyone’s got one. Who’d have ever thought a low roof sleeper would eventually be the one that turned heads, but we appear to be at that place in history. No, there’s not as much room and you certainly can’t stand up and stretch, but today’s flat floored cabovers mean there’s still ample space for the nights between motels. “Tom gives us the choice of either truck or motel so it’s never an issue,” said Clint. The sleeper’s a 90-inch so the bunk is generous and the bed first rate. There’s a

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ cupboard at the right hand end that Clint said might affect the tall guys trying to stretch out. The Twist truck had no extras like fridges and things. Storage-wise there are compartments in the overhead console, cup holders in the dash, and a document holder on the central console between the seats. There are also huge caverns accessed from the outside under the sleeper bunk on both sides. In the cockpit, again it’s all US. At first glance you think “Oh a two-part dash” but it’s not really, it’s just that the woodgrain on the main dash and the wrap is broken by a vinyl strip with a vent. There’s gauges for Africa, and well done International for segmenting the tach so unfamiliar drivers instantly have some understanding of what the go is on efficiency. It’s always been a nit-pick, with Kenworths in particular, that the driver’s supposed to just know what’s under the floor and how it should be driven. The wrap’s a button-fest, but like the Coronado a better button-fest than the Western Star. They’re in blocks relating to function and easily identifiable. Wands consist of an indicator and dip on the left and trailer control on the right. We must admit we’re a bit of a fan of wands, but if you’re going wand-free then this is as good as it gets. The gear lever is dash-mounted, you could say a-la Freightliner Argosy, although not quite the same. You either love them or hate them in this position; it’s a personal thing. Clint was a good sounding board, having used both, and reckoned the International’s has the edge. The steering wheel is adjustable for height and rake. This is an old school US interior and you won’t find the digital displays and read-outs you’d find on the latest gigs emanating from Europe, Asia and some parts of the US. There’s no smart wheel, which in our world is fine. We’re yet to be convinced in a country like New Zealand that having your controls flailing around while you’re trying to attack the Takaka Hill, Coromandel Range or even the Napier-Taupo Road, does anything to enhance the driver’s experience or attention. In this truck there are some switches for doing stuff, some needles that should always be roughly pointing in the same place, some warning lights and alarms to tell you you’re in the shit, and the rest is about driving the ‘God damn thing’. We quite like it like that.

Nothing conjures the spirit of the long haul trucker more than the low roof sleeper berth. Clint has his decked out just the way he likes it in support of his favourite V8 Supercar team

Well done International for a tach with colour. It’s all about your own drum beat and if it’s a US flavour then in the 9870 the drum beats loud. The wrap is well sorted and catergorised.

Entry on the 9870 has been shunted to the rear of the front axle up a three-step ladder, along, and in. No issues, worked well and you’ll always have three points of contact. As for daily checks they’re ‘easy-peasy’, located under the grille which lifts up out of the way. Again, we have no

issues with a truck that actually requires you to take an interest and check the oil and water. So the final comment from Clint…”It’s more Kenworthy than Freightlinery for sure.”

CLINTFLEMMING Like his boss, 41-year-old Clint Flemming is a native of the region. Born in Hastings he moved to Waipawa aged 10 until intermediate school finished, and then out to Tikokino. His first exposure to trucks was twofold. His Dad drove for local carrier Dan McMillan, and his Mum’s partner at Stephenson Transport in Waipawa. There was no shortage of rides. Post-school Clint had thoughts of being a diesel mechanic initially, but when he realised most of the other boys in his year were heading the same way he thought forestry might be the go. A full intake at the training course delayed an application and so he ended up working in an orchard business where he stayed for six years. Trucking came about via his Dad suggesting he get his licences to open more employment opportunities. A good work record and solid CV led eventually to a break at Road Freighters where he cut his teeth on metro and then metro-bulk, moving on to the company’s container division and an introduction to line haul trucking. Eventually he took on a role as the relief driver/storeman, with the possibility of becoming an operations trainee. After four years he left and had a short stint driving fork hoists at the Te Papa Orchard in Ongaonga before Road Freighters offered him a job back on line haul; the lure of the money too much resist. Clint spent a total of six years at Road Freighters, however by this time he had

15-month-old son Brock to consider, and thought it right to spend more time at home. “At Roadies you’d get home on Saturday morning and be gone again Sunday night. I remember pushing him around the yard on his bike once and I was buggered after a matter of minutes.” Clint worked a couple of locally based driving jobs over the next couple of years, but eventually found himself back on the long distance work again, this time with Hall’s Group where he stayed for eight years. Clint started with Twist Trucking in 2014 after the opportunity to have a truck based closer to family came up. “It’s good. Line haul is tough on the family, and made harder by modern-day compliance. I can’t take my partner with me even, so she can see what I do, even though she’s interested and wants to come. I can’t take my son to let him get a taste for the industry and see what I do. It’s a sad situation. Not like in our day. You could spend time with your Dad because you could go,” said Clint. “I do enjoy getting around the country and meeting new people. “I’m enjoying the truck. It won best International at the local Child Cancer show recently, I was pretty stoked with that. It’s good because you burn a few more calories working the sides and different loads and that. It’s challenging too, going to new places. It does different work than the others. The bulkies can make weight management tricky,” laughed Clint.

It doesn’t get much more ‘Hawke’s Bay’ than Argyll and it’s there that you’ll find the roots of Twist Trucking Ltd, and its managing director, 40-year-old Tom Twist. For ardent followers of the national game, this is ‘Magpie’ country, and that connection is reflected in the fleet’s black and white livery. But it’s not just the livery on the spectacular fleet that’s black and white; the simplicity of the philosophy permeates the company culture. Tom’s a ‘black and white’ sort of guy. Trucks need to be productive but look sharp also, and customer service is paramount. Power, the horse variety, gets you places quicker and easier and tare weight is the thief of payload. Decisions in this business are made when they need to be made, often quickly. Opportunities when presented need to be taken. Things that aren’t working need to be ceased. Tom was one of three children (brother Theo and sister Bridget) raised on the family farm at Argyll. His parents, Neville and Wendy, ran a substantial holding with a need for a decent farm truck. His earliest memories are of an old Commer farm truck but it was the arrival of a bonneted 1418 Mercedes-Benz that really awakened the senses. “That was the first truck I think I actually drove when I was about 15,” he

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ recalls. “Dad’s always liked trucks and machinery. There was always a good truck on the farm.” In 1990 the 1418 Mercedes-Benz was replaced with a 2433 6x4 and 4-axle trailer. This was a serious truck easily able to cope with the farm’s requirements, so the Twists decided to put Twist Trucking Ltd on the door and see if there was other local work available. There was. Things pretty much took off. Into the fleet came a pair of Mitsubishi Shogun FS430s in late 1998 and 1999 in order to meet the increasing workloads. “Bloody great trucks,” said Tom. In 2005 Neville won a contract working for CMP (Canterbury Meat Packers) and as a result a 460hp Mercedes-Benz Actros joined the stock operation followed a short time later by a 540hp Actros. There’d always been a natural heartstring to the three-pointed star marque, obviously harking back to the original 1418. Work continued to build and opportunities came about in bulk cartage, so in came a pair Actros 3243 bulk units and 4-axle trailers. By now Tom was tending toward running the trucks and brother Theo the farm. “Within a couple of years we had nine trucks, five on stock and four on bulk. It settled there for a time and about four

years after that the bulk took off.” Around this period Tom had the chance to go for a spin in an ERF stock truck a mate drove. It was his first taste of a big Cummins motor and he remembers thinking, ‘Shit, this thing’s got some power!’ Concurrent to this the Actroses began to give issues. The Napier-Taupo Road had eventually worn them down. A lack of power and auxiliary retardation meant trip times on the crossing were nothing like the big bore ‘yank’ loggers could achieve; the engines were getting tired and the brakes were giving no end of trouble. With the ERF experience fresh in mind Tom called suppliers Trucks and Trailers and asked what they could do. In drove company legend, old fleet No 8. A Freightliner Century Class with a Gen2 Signature rated at 620hp, and a tare of 14 tonne. “What a truck! It could carry 30 tonne-plus. We’re carrying 30 tonne now of course but on nine bloody axles,” said Tom. “Man, that old girl could go. She did 1.4 million kilometres and had just had a full rebuild when she met her end at the bottom of the Titis. That hurt, man that hurt,” Tom reflected, looking at a picture of the faithful servant on the office wall. Number 8 paved the way for a changing of the guard however, and the

Actros bulkies were replaced in 2007 and 2008 with Freightliner Argosys sporting the same drivetrain as the Century Class. The bodies were progressively swapped and the trailers connected to their new ‘bosses’. “Been great trucks. Still got them all. They’ve done between 1.3 and 1.4 now. Oh, you know, a few wee things here and there but the key is parts. You can get parts at the corner dairy, almost anywhere in the country,” said Tom. In 2011 a couple of Fuso HDs entered the stock division, but shortly after the decision was made to exit the stock side of the business. “The work was difficult to keep staff on. Unload times at the works meant sometimes guys were going out to load ewes at midnight for a 4am unload. If the chain at the works had broken down, they might be waiting hours. The trucks were essentially mobile holding pens. Compliance was getting tougher and tougher to manage and so we decided to exit and concentrate on bulk.” The fleet continued to grow with an opportunistic purchase of a T409 SAR Kenworth, three new DD15 powered Freightliner Coronados, and a new Kenworth T409. Although Tom says the DD15s have been “okay”, there’s no disputing that the preferred heart beneath the black and white Twist armour is well

and truly red. Enter the scene Jarod MacLennan at Intertruck, and the 9870 featured here. “I’ve had a look at the Internationals before,” said Tom. “Previously they’ve been just out of the game price-wise but this one was bang-on, had a great tare and the X15. Roadmaster built the bi-fold body and trailer, and that was about lead time on the build. They could pretty much start straight away. It’s a new concept for us, we’re wanting to increase the variation in what we do just so we’re not so reliant on any one customer. We can get 29 tonne on it at 50MAX so I’m more than happy with that.” Today the Twist Trucking fleet consists of 11 units all typically Twist, meaning very sharp. When asked about the image Tom said, “Well, Dad’s a tidy guy and always liked things clean and my grandfather was next level. My

brother Theo and I would play in the creek by the house with our trucks, and when we were done kick off our boots and leave the trucks where they were. When we came out next time the trucks and boots were washed and lined back up!” laughs Tom. “It’s in our blood.” And the name, Twist Trucking? “Everyone else seemed to have ‘Jim Smith Transport’ or ‘Haulage’ or ‘Carriers’ or something else that was a bit same-old same-old. It was a bit boring you know? At the time John Pinel had his fleet of immaculate stock trucks and it was called JP Trucking. We thought that was cool, so decided that’s what we’ll do too.” Head office is still all about family and rural Hawke’s Bay. The typically immaculate Twist Trucking Ltd depot is located midway between Waipawa and Waipukurau on what was originally Tom’s grandfather Theo Twist’s property. 

Fuso’s new range of rugged and vocational workhorses has been here for a few months now, doing a bit of pre-season training. New Zealand Trucking went for a look to see how a couple of members of the team are shaping up.

eaders will recall our recent trip to Daimler’s assembly plant in Chennai, India (September 2017 issue – ‘More skin in the game’), to check out the new range of vocational Fuso models coming our way in 2018. As we said at the time, some examples were due here in the second half of the year for field trials, evaluation and fine-tuning, and that’s exactly what’s been going on. A cross-section of trucks have found their way into all manner of duties including general tip truck operation, local distribution, site work and rural contracting. The response from operators invited to trial one ranged from reluctance, to cautious willingness, to enthusiastically in, boots and all. Post-trial the mood has been positive across the board as participants contributed ideas to the development pool, but in general most realised quickly just how well constructed and put together these trucks are. Their sentiment has pretty much followed what we

New Zealand Trucking

January – February 2018

concluded in the September article, that pitched well, and sold well, they’ll add some strategic and valuable players to Fuso’s New Zealand squad. Fuso New Zealand, fully aware of the Kiwi propensity to turn a length of wire intended to restrain cows and sheep into a new set of harrows for the tractor, or ask the local dealer if the Smart City Car they’ve just brought can have a towbar fitted, has cleverly ring-fenced the new players to deter those with aspirations beyond the trucks’ intended operational envelope. One of those moves is to limit the GCM on the FJ rigid line to 36 tonne, allowing a small dog or simple trailer but not a 5-axle curtainsider. The FZ tractor has a GCM of 40 tonne. Ken Jones at Cambridge Welding Services has been assisting Fuso New Zealand on body fit-out and chassis set-ups for the incoming range. “They’re a good truck. Nothing like I was expecting. We’ve seen this sort of thing tried here in New Zealand before, but

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

what works in other places hasn’t always worked here. These are different. The quality on these is exceptional. They’re robust and well built, and the torque is a real plus. They’re not a line haul truck, no, but priced right and marketed right they’ll be a winner. The 36 tonne GCM allows a 22 tonne payload in some applications and that’s very favourable.” So let’s have a look at a couple on trial.

Carr & Haslam Ltd – FA 4x2

Auckland-based Carr & Haslam have been trialling a 10 tonne GCM FA 4x2 on metro deliveries, a key target market for the trucks. Managing director Chris Carr told New Zealand Trucking that they’ve fed information and suggestions back to Fuso New Zealand, which were acted on, and as a result the truck’s suitability to the application has continuously improved. “They’re keen to get them right. Everything we’ve suggested they’ve listened to and done. We’ve been able to give them prechange and post-change data so we can quantify the changes that improved the truck.” Two key improvement areas on the FA were a more suitable suspended driver’s seat and a tweak to give the truck a bit more power. “Initially there was a reluctance on the part of the drivers, but now everyone’s happy to take it out on a round,” said Chris.

Blue Grass Contracting Ltd – FJ 6x4

The Blue Grass Contracting placement is a superb example of intended application on almost every level. The Matamatabased agricultural contracting company has clear designs on what they want the trucks for. Managing director Brook Nettleton explains. “Too much on-highway work buggers tractors and trailers. Their bearings and brakes aren’t designed to cope with big loads at speed. Two to five kilometres they’re fine, but 15 to 20 they’re not. I was looking for a rugged on/off-highway truck and Ken [Ken Jones – Cambridge Welding Services] said ‘have a look at these, they’re ideal’, so we’re trialling one.” Some of the attributes of the trucks suit Brook’s operation perfectly, like brake pots mounted on top of the axles significantly improving ground clearance, the punchy 1120Nm (826lb/ft) torque of the 6S20 motor, and the ease of use of the G131 gearbox. “We just need a simple robust solid truck, one that’s easily cleaned, one that seasonal workers with the right licences can drive easily, not something with a Roadranger,” said Brook. At the time New Zealand Trucking caught up with the Blue Grass FJ it was having its hungry sides fitted. The company will run the trucks in 6x4 and 2-axle simple trailer configuration operating at the 36 tonne GCM, allowing a 22 tonne payload.

Like the rest of the truck the FJ’s interior is built to take the worst work conditions. A srubbing brush and a hose will soon sort this out.

“I drove it the other day with a load of herd-home cleanings, it would have had about 20 tonne on. It went really well and it climbs phenomenally well. I put it in crawler on a really steep gravel drive and it just plugged its way to the top. Very impressive. “I will say that they could do with some longer legs in top. At the moment the gearing is a little low, although they’d make a great spreader. With the crawlers there they could afford to give them some legs without affecting the really tough going. At 90km/h she’s at about 2,000rpm. It’s fine for short leads around here, but for some of our work in places further away we just need to cruise a bit easier,” said Brook. Blue Grass’s intention is to eventually fit larger single floatation tyres for in-paddock work when required, and then change back in the off-season. “The beauty of them is that during the off-season they can whip the toppers off and there’s no reason they couldn’t do race metal or something,” said Brook. From a Fuso New Zealand perspective, the trials have also

New Zealand Trucking

January – February 2018

gone well. Managing director Kurtis Andrews said, “The customer trials of the New Fuso product have gone very well. We have tested the product in a range of applications and it has exceeded our initial expectations. “The evaluation has allowed us to make some tweaks to the final specification on some models, which will increase their appeal. “We are very happy with the way the new range dovetails into our existing line-up. As a workhorse model it will offer excellent value and some unique features that will make the purchase decision easy for many customers. “As with any new Fuso, the new range will come with a 36-month warranty, which we think will be compelling for traditional used truck buyers.” It looks as though everything is on track and Fuso New Zealand is listening to its customers and the feedback they’re giving on improvements to the range for the local market. It’s a fascinating story and one we’ll be following with interest.

BLOKE Story and photos by Mike Isle

The last person Simon Reid would consider a legend is Simon Reid. Yet that’s the way many in the industry see him. Last month Simon won the ultimate plaudit, NZ’s Champion Truck Driver 2017 in the TR Group sponsored NZ Truck Driving Championship. We visit Simon’s Maungatapere base to meet a new champion with a long history championing the industry he loves. “

e believe in US.” It is the S J Reid Ltd motto and mantra. It can be interpreted in two ways. First, it can be, as the company’s website states, its operational principle: US means Unsurpassed Service. Second, it can be interpreted as a declaration of self-confidence – self-belief. Both interpretations are correct…and incontestable. The Maungatapere-based company in Northland is not large, but despite that – or perhaps because of it – it has a huge reputation in the North for dependability, versatility, and…responsibility. The last requires explanation, so we will come back to that later. The boss is Simon Reid, something of a legend in the area. Apart from 18 months selling insurance, he has been in trucking since leaving school, when, as he puts it, the principal decided that Simon would be a greater asset to the workforce than to the school. Simon comes from a farming family. He was born in Kaitaia but raised in the Northland village of Herekino, just west of Kaitaia. It was at Herekino that his passion for trucks and driving began. He remembers that, as a young boy, he and his mates would be up at the saleyards conning and coercing stock drivers to give them a lift to wherever the drivers were going. In those far off, pre-OSH days, they usually succeeded, and the kids would be clambering into the cab of an old TK Bedford or a Commer going goodness knows where.

New Zealand Trucking

January – February 2018

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... Moving to town at the age of 14 opened the door, literally, to trucks. Living just 200 metres from a trucking yard sealed Simon’s fate. College for the fledging truckie was little more than a place to catch 40 winks after a night riding the country in a stock truck. But his career really only shifted into first gear when he started as an apprentice mechanic for Kaitaia Transport. The next shift was the important one. It got him to where really wanted to be – behind the wheel working as a driver for Kaitaia Transport. Then the wanderlust set in: a year at the other end of the country, working in an Invercargill workshop for Southland Freight Haulage – due to arriving in the off-season for the freezing works, there were no driving positions available. From there it was a stint in Porirua, driving furniture movers for Mana Transport. It was from here he got to cover a massive amount of the country. After two years roaming the country, the north was beckoning, and he did a nine-year stint with United Carriers in Whangarei – working mostly general freight and some fill-in on stock trucks. In 1990 he bought a 320 Mitsubishi off United and went into business on his own as an owner-driver handling general freight. By the end of ’94, a combination of factors saw him leave United and start S J Reid Ltd. The first of these factors was the Auckland traffic. To use his own term, Simon had a gutsful of driving through Auckland and wanted to stay closer to home. That was in late 1994 and he says he would not want to endure it now. The second and more important factor was the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ included – treat driving as a vocation rather than as a job. Simon says he even has to rein in his drivers from time to time. “A couple of them,” he says, “would like to be behind the wheel permanently if regulations (and their boss) permitted.” Another important staff element, shared by Simon and Jo, is the cultural fit. Jo explains, “We do get people walking in off the street. And that is great because there is an industry-wide driver shortage. But if we get the impression that for whatever reason, mainly attitude, they won’t fit with our existing team, then we won’t hire them.” Conversely, S J Reid Ltd is prepared to give someone a go, even the demonstrably inexperienced. Their current staff roster includes a young single mother who came to the company with no heavy vehicle experience, but was desperate to drive. She got the job and the training, and is now a fully-fledged Class 4 member of the S J Reid team. There is another youngster in the team who S J Reid gave a go – and within two weeks he gained his Class 2 full. In Simon’s view, the industry must do more off its own bat. Go back to basics and put vehicles in place within a fleet to help bring the inexperienced people through. “Don’t cry on a bloody street corner about the chronic shortage, do something about it yourself, then you might create the interest of organisations or the government to lend you a helping hand. Be positive and take the lead on the problem.” Although Simon describes himself as the “lazy old bones” of the team, he still drives. When asked why, he says he loves getting behind the wheel, mainly on the tippers. “It gives me a chance to escape the desk,” he says. Jo adds that Simon’s driving prowess extends to entering driving competitions,

burgeoning bark and sawdust cartage contracts in the north. Simon saw the opportunity and grabbed it. He got himself a secondhand Scania 6-wheeler tipper and trailer unit, and S J Reid was in the bark and sawdust business. It still is now, though these days, typically innovative and pragmatic, Simon owns the loads. He retails bark and sawdust in bulk and stores it so that he always has stock for immediate delivery to his customers. Simon says that in more than 40 years driving, he has travelled about every road in New Zealand and carried just about every conceivable load. Even today, the company website boasts that S J Reid has trucks heading north and south daily and can handle all (your) bulk cartage needs. And when it comes to loads, ‘bulk cartage’ has a broad definition at S J Reid. It includes, as well as general freight, sawdust, metal, wool, lime, fertiliser, logs, sand, and even drinking water. Simon and his drivers will try their hands at anything. Anything legal, that is. Legality is something we return to later in this story. Simon manages a small and tightly-knit team. His wife, Jo, runs the office and finance, and they employ 11 full-time drivers, one part-timer and two mechanics. The fleet is a combination of tippers and loggers. The tippers comprise three Mitsubishis and an International. Over on the loggers, it’s an eclectic fleet: five Mitsubishis, two Internationals, one Freightliner, and an owner-driver wades in with a Kenworth. All S J Reid drivers have a passion for driving and, as Jo explains, the common element is that they all – Simon

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... though he always says that each would be the last. “Got to have one more go,” Simon replies. That one more go resulted in something more substantial than even Simon could have imagined. It started on October 14 in Whangarei. A feature-packed day in which Simon not only competed in (and won) the Northland leg of the NZ Truck Driving Championship, he also helped instigate a parallel Show ‘n’ Shine that put on public display 104 rigs, and over five hours raised a whopping $13328 for the Northland Emergency Services Trust.* And then of course it was on to the finals in Hamilton and the ultimate prize – the Champion Truck Driver division, which he also won. The long-time champion for the trucking industry was also now its Champion. Which brings us to another side of this man and his passion for trucks – his interest in how the industry he is in is perceived by the public. The usually quietly spoken Simon becomes fiercely animated when he starts talking of the trucking industry’s reputation. “Yes, there are some silly buggers out there,” he says. “But the vast majority of the trucking companies and their drivers do outstanding work for this country. And if we have a problem with public perception, or the lack of perception, it’s because we don’t promote that as well as we should. We need to be showing motorists that the truck in front of them, that may be holding them up briefly, is doing important work. “Just about the only thing not delivered by road in this country is a baby. I saw that on the back of a truck once, and that’s dead right. “What truck shows do, and why I got involved with this one, is they give the public the opportunity to know more about us, to have a close-up look at us. For kids to get behind the wheel of the biggest machine on the road. To see what we see. “Plus, the operators have some fairly sharp gear out there now, and it’s nice to have the shows to show them off on a weekend when they are clean. That’s quite cool. And the more that we do that, I reckon the more we can build a positive reputation for the industry.” Simon will stop short of saying, and believing, he is a prime

PH O T O CRE D I T: CRA I G M CCA UL E Y

protector of that reputation. But it is clear that he takes his responsibilities to the industry seriously. Twice during the interview he glanced out his window and almost imperceptibly raised an eyebrow while a truck – not one of his own – went by. Simon misses nothing. One of the trucks had an overheight load – one log. But it is enough. “You know, it is just a little thing, just one log, and 99% of trucks going past here are fine. But there will be one, only one, who will put that extra log on the truck and muck it up for the rest of us with the authorities and particularly with the public.” Despite that, Simon returns to his main and most passionate subject – promoting the industry he is so fiercely proud of. He is not a lone voice in that respect, but with his involvement in truck shows, driving competitions – and particularly his recognition that public perception is important, makes him certainly one of the industry’s most active and passionate advocates. Asked if that also makes him something of a legend, he just grins. “No,” he says at last. “Just a passionate truckie, who is proud of our industry and doesn’t like it getting bad publicity. Same as most truckies, really.” 

* Footnote. The Northland leg of the NZ Truck Driving Championship was a clean sweep for Simon and his team. Simon won the Truck and Trailer class and the muchcoveted Northland Driver of the Year award. Three of his drivers – Ashleigh-Jade Sutherland, Stephen Gray, and Matthew Frood – were also class winners. Simon would also go on to win the National Final and be named NZ’s Champion Truck Driver 2017.

Story and photos by David Kinch

After the initial postponement, the trucks turned out in force to support one of the best truck shows in the country.

rganiser Rick Harkness was one stressed out man back in September, having to postpone his show due to the weather. Moving the show to 4 November suited most of the original entrants and it also allowed others to bring trucks along who may not have been able to earlier. Rick and his team had listened to a few suggestions made the year before and parked the 126 trucks entered facing north, allowing the sun to be on them most of the day and making for some great photographs. What was most noticeable about this show was the strong showing of restored classic trucks, probably the most we have seen at a truck show of this type. The Andy Harkness Memorial trophy was won by Ryan

One truck Story and photos by Dave McCoid

The arrival of Liam Hawthorn’s new Kenworth K200 meant he was able to tick two big things off his bucket list.

iam Hawthorn typifies everything that’s great about Kiwi blokes; he’s genuine, humble, good humoured, and has a glass half-full approach to everything. “I’ve been reading the mag for as long as I can remember with the dream of owning and running my own flat roof sleeper cabover Kenworth, and one day having it on the poster,” said Liam. “I thought this just might be the truck to do it.” Son of well-known Northland truck driver and diesel mechanic Greg Hawthorn, 31-year-old Liam was truly born with trucking in the blood, never missing a chance to ride around with his father when he drove for Bachelor Log Haulage, SEMCO, and United Carriers. After leaving Kamo High School Liam worked for a year at the Carter Holt

Harvey LVL sawmill near Marsden Point before taking on his first driving job at Kaitaia Transport. “I was only 19 at the time and I started out on a 390hp flatdeck Mitsi going anywhere from Whangarei to Auckland and even Gisborne. It was full on.” A year or so later Liam went to Te Kauwhata Transport, based in Whangarei, for a short stint and then his first job on a log truck with Paragon Haulage Ltd, again based in Whangarei. “Paragon was a great job, I really enjoyed my time there,” recalls Liam. As with most young folk the OE called and Liam headed for Australia to try his hand over there. He got a job with Brisbane company Armesto’s Transport Pty Ltd, driving a Freightliner Columbia truck and dog combination on local tip work, with the occasional interstate general freight trip in a Kenworth B-double thrown in. After a year Liam came home, taking a job with Steve Bachelor’s Aotearoa Haulage driving a 420hp Scania initially, then a 470, progressing on to a Western Star. “Steve’s a great guy and I have huge respect for him. I’ve known him all my life since Dad drove for him back in the day at Bachelor Log Haulage.”

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Liam’s workplace and standby accommodation. Not a bad place to call your own.

Three years at Aotearoa and it was time for another stint in the big island to the west, this time in the far far west with Karratha-based company Hansen, part of the Heidelberg Cement Group. The gear was bigger too. Liam drove Western Star 6900 series side-tipper combinations, but it wasn’t your usual Australian side tipper story. Hansen cart the aggregate and stone for concrete into the mines being developed, not the ore material out. “I never left a mine loaded, I arrived loaded instead,” laughs Liam. Three years into the adventure Liam received a call from Steve Bachelor offering him a position as a subcontractor in his Aotearoa Haulage operation. Liam took the plunge, buying an ‘06 Freightliner Argosy with a Cummins 620 Signature and Koromiko 4-axle trailer off Steve, and got stuck in. A change in workflows found Liam needing to spread his net further in the hunt for work. He contacted Northland operations manager for Aztec Forestry Transport Developments Ltd, Ian Newey. “Ian was a tremendous help and extremely supportive. Another top bloke.” That was two years ago. Liam was taken on as a contractor early last year in their Northland operation. In

It’s going really well.” Following their investment in him, Liam returned the gesture, retiring the old Freightliner and commissioning the new Kenworth and trailer under his NLH Ltd (Northland Log Haulage) banner. That fulfilled the first of his two bucket list dreams. The truck was bought through Mark Tucker at Southpac Trucks, who Liam said was great to deal with. “It’s a bulletproof spec all the way through. The advice I got was not to try anything too fancy and innovative, just get something that’s proven, so that’s what I did, and it’s paid off, with the odometer approaching 93,000 trouble-free kilometres already.” Spec on the Kenworth is the venerable Cummins e5 engine rated at 461kW (615hp), 18-speed Roadranger manual gearbox on Meritor 46-160 axles and KW 8-bag Airglide suspension. The truck tows a brand new Patchell 5-axle trailer

on Hendrickson running gear. Chris Stanley in Silverdale saw to the shiny bits and Darryn Caulfield in Rotorua worked his magic on paint. A normal day’s work sees Liam carting two loads of export out of the Pouto Forest to Marsden Point. And as for the second tick, meaning is it good enough to make the Top Truck grade? That needs no answer other than open the poster and take it all in! 

The first motor vehicle purchased by the New Zealand Post & Telegraph Department to move mail was a Canadian-built ‘Russell mail van automobile’. With a twin cylinder opposed engine developing 13.5kW (18hp), it had a maximum speed of 20mph (32km/h). Entering service in Wellington in June 1908 it was followed eight months later by a similar vehicle with an 18.8kW (24hp) engine. This was said to be able to “take with ease the steepest grades in the city and suburbs”. There was initial concern about the use of motorised vehicles to move the mail, but this soon diminished and by March 1913 additional trucks had joined the fleet. The first of these were Albions, all with solid tyres.

orthland’s Show ‘n’ Shine was spectacular on all counts, say event organisers. The event, which was held on a 400-metre closed-off section of Okara Drive in Whangarei, had on display 104 rigs of all sizes and configurations, 168 cars and approximately 30 motorbikes. It also drew a huge crowd, and the gold coin entry fee saw all proceeds going to the event’s chosen charity, the Northland Emergency Services Trust. One of the instigators of the Show ‘n’ Shine, local transport operator Simon Reid, says the turnout exceeded the most optimistic predictions of organisers. He says the idea, which was born out of a chat over a beer, was simply to give the public the opportunity to see some trucks up close, and to give the trucking industry the chance to engage

positively with the public. Simon says that in both regards the event was successful. The crowds that came were mainly family groups and to the delight of many— particularly the children—they were able to climb into the cabs and imagine themselves driving these huge rigs. For the local transport industry, it was great public relations. The event culminated in a spectacular departure from the site, with the trucks, cars and motorbikes all moving out at the same time. The sound was deafening. In the end, however, it came down to charity. The event raised a massive $13,328 for the Northland Emergency Services Trust, some of it direct donations from Northland trucking operators. No firm date has been set for the region’s next Show ‘n’ Shine, but organisers say there is likely to be another in two years’ time.

Heavy Haulin’ Story and photos by Howard Shanks

How much worth is in a Kenworth? We took a ride in a 15-year-old T950 on a heavy haulage run to Port Latta in Tasmania to answer that question.

he thick blanket of fog that rolled in to Launceston from the Tamar River during the night had lifted by the time Craig Wivell finished chaining down the new Komatsu WA500 wheel loader to the three rows of eight Drake Swingwing low loader behind the smart looking Kenworth T950 he drives for Les Walkden Transport. This morning Craig was delivering this new WA500 loader to Grange Resources’ Port Latta iron ore pellet plant and port facility approximately 70kms west of Burnie, where they produce in excess of two million tonnes of premium iron ore pellets annually. Grange Resources also owns and operates the Savage River magnetite iron ore mine 100km south west of Burnie. The operation is unique in that concentrated iron ore slurry is pumped 83km from the mine at Savage river to the pellet plant at Port Latta via a 229mm internal diameter pipeline, taking approximately 14 hours. In mining terms this project is considered a long life mine with the current predicted lifetime extending to 2034. At the Port Latta plant the cleaned concentrate is pressed into pellets using bentonite as a binding agent. The pellets are then fed into one of five vertical shaft pellet furnaces where they undergo heat induced processing for approximately 4.5 hours. The finished pellets are screened to grade excess coarse and fine material and then transported by conveyor to the stacker-reclaimer where the pellets are stockpiled to cool while awaiting shipping. The new Komatsu WA500 is one of three that feeds slurry into the processing plant and is replacing one that Craig will reload onto his Drake low loader and return to the Komatsu dealership. Craig’s Kenworth is an old school T950, with a Gen-II Cummins that he reckons has been one of the most reliable engines he’s ever had. “Apart from regular maintenance, we’ve hardly touched it. It’s really been a great engine,” Craig said. “It’s got plenty of power for this type of work; today with the WA500 that weighs around 30 tonne plus the weight of the dolly, low

loader and truck, all up the gross weight is over 60 tonne.” When asked about economy: “Considering the weight and terrain we travel, it’s pretty good,” Craig replied. “If I can get 1.6km/l or better, then I’m pretty happy.” Glance at the speedo and take note of the kilometres this T950 has clocked up (and incidentally, those numbers are on their second lap) since it hit the road back in the early part of this century, and it’s testament to the quality of Australian built Kenworths. The doors open and shut just like a new truck. The interior is showroom condition, which in no small part is a credit to Craig’s meticulous attention to detail. Craig has added some personal bling to this T950 to give it a touch of class and it’s a regular participant at many of the Tasmanian truck shows. Up front of the Kenworth T950 is a highly polished King Bars’ Warrego 4-post FUPD complete with ‘Oversize’ signs and covers, as well as a row of traditional and LED driving lights. Craig says the life cycle of the Kenworth product is

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Kenworth

something that few if any other manufacturers can get close to. “I can park this next to a new T909 and looking at the two trucks it would be hard to pick which truck is almost 15 years old and has done over a million kilometres,” Craig said. “It just comes down to keeping on top of your maintenance and operating the equipment correctly. There’s no reason why we won’t get another 15 years out of this T950; sure we’ll have to rebuild the engine and re-race the transmission and diffs, but that’s just maintenance,” Craig added. The Cummins under the hood punches out a healthy 600 horsepower and runs that through an Eaton 18-speed transmission and out to Meritor RT50-160GP axles all mounted on a Kenworth 6-rod rear end. When the Gen-II Signature engine was released it was said that the dual overhead cam design allowed Cummins engineers to optimise both engine and braking performance. It was suggested that one should look at the engine front on, from the timing cover, and note that the left-hand camshaft drives

the high-pressure fuel injection system which is massively robust to handle pressures up to 2,380 bar (35,000 psi) for future emissions regulations. The right-hand camshaft operates the valves and drives the fuel pump that supplies the fuel rail. It also incorporates a set of lobes dedicated to operating the Intebrake, the fully integrated engine brake system. This enables the engine to deliver more braking power than horsepower, without additional stress. According to the spec sheet these Signature engines retard at an awesome 600hp. Craig agrees, citing the Cummins’ engine braking as the best he has ever experienced. “Operating in the hilly conditions around Tasmania and with the weights I’m towing, I need all the braking power I can get and the Cummins has plenty of that,” he says. For Kenworth the T950 model was one of their most successful and popular models, so much so that when they released a limited edition production run of 75 units in 2015 they sold out in less than 24 hours.

believes there’s no reason it won’t do another decade and a half with well planned routine maintenance.

The T950 with its set forward front axle was introduced in 1992 and originally modelled on the iconic SAR. It has everything that comes to mind when you think of a traditional American-style long bonneted truck. As well as looking the part, the T950 was designed to operate in almost any application from heavy haulage to livestock to logging, whether pulling a single trailer or a triple road train. The truck’s high mounted cab set back from its engine meant there was no engine intrusion into the cabin, allowing for easy all round access to the engine and exceptional visibility over the sloping bonnet. During its 15-year production run the T950 built up a considerable fan base and is remembered fondly with other

legendary Kenworth classics like the W Model and SAR. In fact Slim Dusty immortalised the T950 in his song ‘Mechanised Swaggie’. One question that is often asked: “if it was such a popular model, why was phased out in 2007?” The arrival in 2008 of Cummins ISX and Signature engines with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems to meet the ADR 80/02 emission standards demanded increased cooling capacity. Increasing the size of the radiator on the T950 in a vertical direction basically turned it into a T904 that consequently evolved into a T908 for the 2008 model year. So the decision to phase out the T950 model was imminent. 

A good paying and steady job is what most young adults want. Not so 32-year-old Willem Engel from Alkmaar. He invested his hard-earned money in an old Tatra 813 army truck, rebuilt it himself and drove it all the way to Africa.

s a teenager Willem was a big fan of Truck Trial. In Europe, the 8x8 drive Tatra has become renowned for its unparalleled off-road capability in this tough sport. The Dutchman says: “In my eyes the Tatra was the largest toy truck money could buy. It looked like a Tonka on steroids!’’ After finishing school, Willem started work as a motorcycle mechanic. At 21 he obtained his truck driving licence and worked for a time as a temporary driver for various transport companies. “On one of my international hauls I passed by a survival centre in the UK where a whole range of unusual vehicles were parked up. The outfit did not seem to be in business any more but the fleet looked okay. There were jeeps, buses, trucks and even army tanks. But I was most interested in a big Tatra 4-axle truck that sat in a corner. It appeared to be once used by the East German Army. The truck was ‘rustic brown’, or better said, ‘all rust’. But it looked more or less original. It was just the kind of all-terrain behemoth I had dreamed of as a young lad,’’ said Willem. A few months later, he crossed the North Sea again with a rented Scania and semi low loader to collect the rare machine. “The Tatra did not really want to leave the UK,’’ he laughs. “Because the clutch did not work and all air lines were rusted through. We had a heck of a time to get it on to the trailer. The fact that the Tatra has a tare weight of a whopping 14,000kgs did not help either!’’ With only 640 kilometres on the odometer and 108 operating hours, the 1974-built military truck was, in theory, still new. “The biggest problem was that it had stood idle for many years. That does not do much good to a vehicle,’’ said Willem.

The Tatra 813 Kolos was purpose designed to pull the 40-wheel P50 semi low loader. With a load capacity of 80 tonnes the rare Czech makes light work of transporting a Russian ZIL amphibian truck. The 43-year-old truck has permanent 8x8 drive and runs standard in low gear.

Go anywhere, with almost anything! The Tatra 813 Kolos, as it is officially known, was a purpose designed truck/tractor for military/defence applications. From 1967 it was offered in combination with the Transporta P50 semi low loader that featured five axle lines and 40 wheels. Gross combination weight was 120 tonnes. The Tatra has a tubular chassis and independent wheel suspension, which makes it a formidable off-road vehicle. Pulling power is also awesome thanks to the 19-litre V12 diesel that pushes out 360hp and the 2x5 gearbox plus transfer case. Once in a while it is used in combination with the trailer to haul a real load, such as heavy equipment for a collector of military wagons.

Two years went by before the Tatra’s new owner mustered up enough courage to start a rebuild. “Because everything is heavy and oversized on the Tatra you can hardly work on it by yourself. You simply need some extra hands. At the time I had just changed jobs and was working in a steel construction firm. The owner of it kind of liked my project and offered to help me in the weekends. And so did some friends who I promised a free off-road ride once the truck was fully operable again.’’ The first thing was to detach the cargo body. “The chassis is made of extremely thick steel and did not need any repairs. The cab, however, was a different story. Rust had eaten up

several panels. I decided to leave this for the time being and concentrate on the mechanics. Once the clutch, fuel, and air lines were repaired I took the 8x8 to a nearby wasteland to see how it performed. The Tatra has permanent all-wheel drive and runs standard in low gear. You can also switch on cross locks and diff locks. Believe me, it walked over any hump and through the deepest hole. That was a real kick! For me the truck’s performance was more worth than its looks,’’ said Willem. Because repairing the cab was too costly and tiresome, Willem approached a Tatra dealer in the Czech Republic. “This way I managed to find a good-as-new cab, complete with doors, windows, and floor, and a full interior with seats, dashboard, heater and even a fire extinguisher!’’ On the mechanical side, new air lines and hydraulic pipes were installed, the brake and steering system reconditioned and all

the lighting renewed. And two new 300-litre fuel tanks were fabricated in-house. When all this was finished, the dull-green defence vehicle was sprayed a more pleasing yellow. “I am using it for leisure and do not want to be associated with the military. When we took it a few years later down to Romania I immediately noticed the difference. In some EastEuropean countries they still use these Tatras and a few times people asked if we belonged to the army.’’ After a long trip of 6000 kilometres the old military rough profile tyres were completely worn. So they were changed for 1600x20 Michelin sand tyres. Willem says that the heavy truck now also runs much better on the road. The Tatra enthusiast can talk for hours about his king size Tonka and the adventures that he and his girlfriend Mirjana have experienced with the truck so far. However, not everything always went according to plan, he recalls.

Willem and girlfriend Mirjana with their adventure-plus ride – the mighty Tatra. Like the Tatra, Mirjana also hails also from Eastern Europe.

“During one trip in southern Europe oil consumption went up to three litres per 100 km. That forced us to stop at every fuel station and buy all the engine oil they had in stock! Yet, we came to a halt on a desolated mountain road. Negotiating with hand and feet we were lucky to obtain two litres of chainsaw oil in cola bottles from some road workers. It was just enough to get us moving again to the civilised world.’’ Two years later oil consumption became so bad that the adventurous Dutchman regularly went on the road with a pair of 60-litre oil drums in the cargo body! “Of course this was getting out of hand a bit,’’ he admits. “So I decided to pull the engine apart. But, just like was the case with the cab, a new V12 diesel could be bought for less money in the Czech Republic than it would cost to have the old one reconditioned in Holland. Through

my earlier contacts in the East I found a brand new air cooled V12. The only snag was how to get the block that weighed a cool 1,200kgs into our hired van. After a lot of pushing and pulling with a forklift we managed and thus we had a Ford Transit with the biggest engine in Europe!’’ laughed Willem. But the truck is used in the first instance as a mobile home. “After driving all over Europe we took it last summer on a long trip to North Africa. For the occasion we had mounted an old army radio unit with sleeping accommodation on to the back of the Tatra. Accompanied by a local guide we ploughed through soft sand for days in plus-35 Celsius. It was just amazing how well the big 8x8 performed in this harsh environment. Luckily it finally proved reliable too! Our next trip is planned to Siberia. In winter…!’’ 

Outcomes and relationships -

Jan Augustyn, MaxiTRANS

MaxiTRANS recently appointed Jan Augustyn as operations manager for New Zealand. New Zealand Trucking talked to Jan about his new role.

“I

came to MaxiTRANS with a diverse background and experience in a variety of industries,” says Jan. “My focus areas are predominately in supply chain, logistics and business optimisation.” Jan is an industrial engineer with a Masters in Leadership and Sustainability. He started his career as a supply chain consultant in South Africa, working with the likes of Chep, Kellogg’s, Toyota, and Boart Longyear. He later worked in the banking industry, pioneering the concept of value stream optimisation throughout the bank’s broad logistical arrangements, before moving to the power generation field where he delved into the world of turbines, switchgears and maintenance of multiple large-scale power generation plants. “My role evolved rapidly and I gained great insight into many facets of this business. Working closely with design and mechanical engineers, looking at business and process optimisation, systems, new machinery design, and outage plans, and then proceeding to apply this knowledge to a full business integration and strategy shift, was a career accomplishment and gave me immense satisfaction.” Jan and his wife decided to move to New Zealand to start a family and he joined airline catering company LSG Sky Chefs as national supply chain and continuous improvement manager. “This 24-hour non-stop world was certainly a change, and knowing that my work directly affected customer satisfaction was a new challenge I relished (excuse the pun). I looked after their supply chain plus their business optimisation, and worked on strategic projects such as ‘project green’ with Air New Zealand, MPI and the Sustainability Council.” Jan says he really enjoyed his roles in the different industries and the exposure and learning they presented. “I hope that the knowledge and experience I have gathered can be shared with MaxiTRANS as I embrace the exciting vision this company has for the future. The opportunity was presented to come back into an engineering and manufacturing industry and bring that drive and experience to MaxiTRANS New Zealand, taking it to the next level by coming up with new innovative solutions, integration of systems, tools and people and the optimisation of the current environment to deliver a superior service to our customers.” Jan says he worked with many MaxiTRANS customers while at LSG. “I know the dynamics, I know the quick turnarounds, I know the requirements that they have and I understand that

whatever we promise and whatever we do, the customer comes first. That’s the aim, to take MaxiTRANS to the next level and to build lasting relationships.” Jan is excited to be part of MaxiTRANS as they go through a global process of thinking outside the box and driving improvement. “MaxiTRANS is making sure it is putting the right people in the right roles for its future. As an organisation, we need to look at how we can integrate systems, people and knowledge across the company and leverage those synergies. We have manufacturing plants globally that we can use to further support our processes and customer needs.” MaxiTRANS won a number of categories at the 2017 Brisbane Truck Show Awards and is now the market leader in Australia. Jan says the aim will be the same for New Zealand. To start, MaxiTRANS New Zealand opened a service centre in Christchurch in November to further meet customer requirements. 

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... TRUCKERS’ HEALTH

Booze!

iving a healthy lifestyle is truly about making sensible choices, so let’s kick off by saying that alcohol CAN be a part of a healthy you! You may have heard that red wine can prevent heart disease, however the truth is that the body treats any alcohol as a toxin – it contains calories and must be changed by the liver before it can be eliminated. It is more likely that the benefits to your heart health are neutral at best and more likely harmful. Whenever the liver is loaded with detoxifying duties (alcohol, processed foods, trans fats, synthetic substances), it puts a hold on the good stuff our liver does for us, affecting overall health. We are coming into the summer holiday season when alcohol for most kiwis is a part of their holiday traditions, helping us relax, feel more confident at social occasions, connect with people and reduce stress. These are benefits

that should not be ruled out, however alcohol does provide its own load of calories, affects sleep quality, slows fat use, hinders immune function, affects coordination and decision making, not to mention the kind of not so positive exercise and nutrition choices that go hand in hand with a big night out! Here are some tips for managing your alcohol consumption over the holidays: • Try mixing spirits with soda water and a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon to help reduce added calories from sugary mixers • Find a nice low-carb beer as your summer drop • Dry wines have been left to ferment for longer which removes more sugar compared with sweeter wines; have a go at expanding your wine palate and move away from the sweet stuff • Casual drinks through the week slowly add to your overall calories so be smart with your consumption and

aim for at least three to four alcoholfree days per week…not per month • Consuming as many whole foods as possible takes away some of the stress on your liver, so consider matching fresh vegetables with your next big night and not takeaways.  Allister Field is an academic staff member at Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology in Tauranga, with the Sport and Recreation Department.

Hazards, hazards, and more hazards

orkSafe New Zealand’s media release from 5 October 2017 led with this sentence: “Businesses need to consider health and safety risks on all structures, even those infrequently used.” The media release was about a company that failed to identify the risks inherent in an unconsented mezzanine floor with a false ceiling. A staff member fell 2.5 metres, suffering serious injuries. The mezzanine was used for storage, a common use for mezzanine floors. The company was prosecuted and fined $157,500, with reparations of $20,000 to be paid to the staff member. Organisations must identify all hazards, in all areas of the workplace. There is a tendency to focus on the higher risk areas of work. This may include: transport, workshop, warehouse, etc. Moving trucks, forklifts, and pallets falling from racking can result in serious injuries, or fatalities. Support areas, such as administration, reception, lunchrooms, etc. still have hazards which present a risk to workers. Although not likely to seriously injure, or kill a worker, they can still cause harm, and the harm can still impact negatively on a person’s quality of life. An incorrectly adjusted workstation may result in a gradual process injury. This can affect a person for many years, including limiting their ability to work, and to

participate as a full member of their family and community. Note that workstations are present in all areas of the workplace. Any area where people are positioned to work can be called a workstation. Manual handling, or lifting, is not the sole preserve of people doing physical labour. Lifting boxes of paper can cause back injuries if not done properly. In fact, administration staff may be more susceptible to injury as they may not be as strong, or accustomed to lifting. Clutter can cause trips. Electrical leads are commonplace in many offices. Additional power points may need to be installed. If using electrical leads, thought needs to be given to the placement of these leads. Stairs are so much a part of our everyday life that we don’t always think of them as being a hazard. Are stairwells well lit, are there hand rails, are people aware of the risks around carrying loads up and down stairs? Stop, look, think, in all your workplaces. Ask your workers to assist with this; the people doing the work know what puts them at risk, and what keeps them safe. Use the guidelines, and other supporting information on the WorkSafe New Zealand website. Ask a consultant, such as Safewise, for help. It’s all about sending our workers home safe every day. 

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... LEGAL LINES

Know your rights – Part 3

ast month I summarised some of the legal rights and protections enshrined in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (‘the Act’). These primarily related to the early stages of an encounter with the police, prior to you being charged. Of course, you also have rights once you have been charged and these continue as you prepare your defence. If your rights are breached, there are remedies that you can pursue. These are dependent on the nature of the breach and I will be outlining some of these options.

Rights after arrest

Everyone who is arrested for an offence has the right to be charged promptly or to be released. If there is a question about the validity of the arrest or detention, then everyone has the right to have this determined without delay by bringing a writ of habeas corpus to the court, and to be released if the arrest or detention is not lawful. If you have been charged, then the police must promptly inform you in detail of the nature and cause of the charge.

Appearing in court

If you do not have a lawyer at your first appearance, you can speak to one of the duty lawyers at court for some free preliminary advice. Duty lawyers are generally not available for a defended hearing or sentencing so unless you want to represent yourself, it is a good idea to apply to a legal aid lawyer before your next appearance if you can’t afford to instruct private counsel.

Bail

Once you have been brought to court you have the right to be bailed on reasonable terms and conditions unless there is just cause for continued detention until your next court date. You may be required to sign a bail bond with conditions, and if you breach the terms of your bail you can be arrested without a warrant and brought before the court to determine whether you should be re-admitted to bail. When considering whether a bail condition should be imposed the starting point is whether or not the condition is reasonably necessary to ensure that the defendant appears in court, does not interfere with any witness or evidence, and does not commit any offence while on bail. There must be a rational link between the condition and the reason for its imposition. For example, a bail condition ‘not to consume alcohol’ would not be appropriate when then was no evidence that alcohol was being consumed by the alleged offender at the time of the incident.

Preparing your defence

A person who has been charged has the right to adequate time and facilities to prepare a defence. This includes the right

New Zealand Trucking

January – February 2018

to see all the evidence that the police have against you. It is a good idea to formally request full disclosure because if you don’t, then it may be assumed that you only want to see the summary of facts and your list of previous convictions (if any), which is called initial disclosure. Equally, you have the right to be tried without undue delay and to be present at your trial and to present a defence. That means that you have the right to examine witnesses for the prosecution and to obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses for the defence under the same conditions as the prosecution. You also have the right to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial court and you are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. These rights are fundamental to criminal procedure because they recognise the equal dignity and worth of all persons. Every person charged has the right to have the free assistance of an interpreter if he or she cannot understand or speak the language used in court, and you do not have to give evidence at your own hearing. If the penalty for the offence changes between the time you committed the offence and the time at which you are sentenced, you have the right to the benefit of a lesser penalty. You cannot be convicted of an offence if the act in question was not a criminal offence at the time it took place, and you cannot be tried or punished for an offence if you have already been acquitted or convicted of the offence or if you have been pardoned for it.

Appeals

If you are convicted of the offence, you have the right to appeal to a higher court against the conviction or the sentence or against both. Before doing so it would be wise to obtain documents relevant to the appeal such as the judge’s notes of evidence in order to seek advice from a lawyer about whether there are legitimate grounds for an appeal. While the oral hearing of an appeal is the norm, the Court of Appeal can dispense with such a hearing and decide a case on the papers alone. However, in making such a decision the court must conclude that the appeal ‘can be fairly dealt with on the papers’ and ‘either has no realistic possibility of success or clearly should be allowed’.

Remedies for breaches

If the police breach any of the rights contained in the Act there are a number of potential consequences. One is that any evidence they obtain can be excluded. Another consequence is that they may be ordered to pay money to you to compensate you for the breach of your rights. It is important that you obtain the advice of a lawyer to see if these options may apply in your case. 

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... Recent legislation changes – stopping, weighing, off-loading I am grateful to Senior Sergeant Philip Critchley of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Team for bringing to my attention some recent changes to the legislation regarding the stopping and weighing of heavy vehicles and the off-loading of overloaded vehicles. Normally, an enforcement officer is not authorised to direct a driver to travel a distance that would increase the total length of the journey by more than 5km. However, this distance can be increased by no more than 10km in order to drive the vehicle to a site or weighing device if the site where the vehicle has been brought to a stop is unsuitable for weighing the vehicle because: • doing so may pose a safety risk to other road users or to the enforcement officer; or • the site is not level enough for accurate weighing. Increasing the total length of the journey by more than 5km is also permitted where a driver has failed to stop and keep their vehicle stopped long enough for an enforcement officer to exercise their powers. Drivers must continue to stop when directed by an ‘All Trucks Stop’ sign, and now must also stop their vehicle when a sign

is displayed specifying a particular vehicle or a vehicle of a particular class. Finally, an enforcement officer must direct the driver of a heavy motor vehicle to keep the vehicle stopped or remove it to a place of safety if the gross mass of the vehicle, or the mass on a wheel, axle, or a group of axles of the motor vehicle, exceeds by at least 10% or by 2000kg (whichever is the lesser) – • a prescribed mass restriction application to that motor vehicle; or • a mass or loading restriction specified in the vehicle’s certificate of loading. Please note that this article is not a substitute for legal advice and if you have a particular matter which needs to be addressed, you should consult with a lawyer.

Why should you attend your industry event or conference?

ave you ever considered going to an industry event or conference but had a hard time deciding whether it’s worth going? Regardless of which industry you work in, every industry has numerous events and conferences throughout the year. There are many reasons why you may consider going, which must be weighed up against the costs. Attending conferences can be an expensive task, potentially costing thousands of dollars per attendee, but the benefits of attending for both you and your business can outweigh these. Here are some reasons you may want to attend conferences: They offer a chance to learn new skills. There are typically a number of industry leaders, influencers and experts in your field giving workshops and in-depth presentations about all the latest things going on in your industry. You can learn a lot from listening to the various presentations, and afterwards you may have a chance to speak with them face-toface. If you have any questions or need advice about something specific to your business, these events can offer excellent opportunities to get answers. There can be excellent motivational speeches too, and you may get the opportunity to hear what steps others have taken to make their own businesses successful. Speakers will also often cover other topics such as the latest trends in your industry, new approaches, new or proposed legislation, and the latest research, which can be valuable information for your business. Inversely, if you are an expert in an area you could become a speaker at a conference. Speaking at conferences gives you an opportunity to broadcast your expertise to a large audience, which may lead to conversations that lead to opportunities. As the saying goes, it’s often not what you know, it’s who you know. One of the biggest reasons people attend conferences is the networking opportunities. Conferences attract people in your field from numerous geographical locations, and are a great way to meet with new people in your field. At conferences you will be able to meet with people from a wide range of backgrounds working in your industry, many of whom you may not encounter otherwise. Not only will there be many smaller business owners, but also a number of the bigger, more established names in your industry. It is an excellent opportunity to make professional connections, establish relationships, and even identify new business opportunities. As well as the networking opportunities, there are also many great

marketing opportunities. Through marketing your business you may be able to meet mentors, donors or financers who may be interested in your business, or you personally, who can help you develop your business and take your brand further. As you grow your professional network, conferences become an opportunity to catch up with people you haven’t connected with in a while. Marketing your brand is another reason to attend conferences. Everyone who is attending is there to make connections and to learn about the business ventures, plans and ideas of others. The people who are attending the conference want you to market those to them, and will enquire about what your services are, what you do, and so on. You can do this as either a conference participant or as a vendor at a trade stall. If you can make a short but excellent sales pitch, you may be able to turn these conversations into opportunities. The exposure can be great not just for finding potential clients, but also partnerships. Remember that your industry media will also be in attendance, and their material will be aimed directly to your customers and potential clients as well. If you know who will be attending in advance, you can think about who you might want to connect with and possibly even arrange a meeting with them there in advance. Conferences are also a great opportunity to get away from work without taking a holiday from work. They can be fun, interesting and a good opportunity to meet a lot of people. Many have other activities added on such as networking functions, golf or other sports activities, and industry related tours that are a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and grow existing relationships. Conferences are also a great opportunity to further develop the skills of your business team, helping to inspire and motivate them with new ideas. As many of the positives from attending a conference cannot be immediately measured, the negative may be the cost, so plan well in advance as booking early can save money on air fares and accommodation. Most industry conferences advertise their dates well in advance. 

As the saying goes, it’s often not what you know, it’s who you know. One of the biggest reasons people attend conferences is the networking opportunities.

Road and rail freight are complementary

ontinuing debate about the merits of road versus rail freight is missing the point. We are complementary. Freight transport is an integrated service between road and rail available to all companies who need goods shifted. While many political pundits have enjoyed delivering easy to digest sound bites disguised as analysis during coverage of the recent election and formation of a new government, declaring road or rail as transport winners shows an ignorance of how the freight transport industry works. The inland ports at Metroport Te Papapa, Wiri and development of the Ruakura facility at Hamilton are all about coordinating rail and road freight movements and depend on both rail and the road freight industries working together. Trucks deliver and collect from these and other major rail freight hubs throughout the country. Customers depend on trucks to deliver the freight from the railhead to the final destination, or get the freight from its initial source to the railhead. After Fonterra, rail freight’s second biggest customer is the road freight transport industry. Some of our biggest nationwide trucking companies have made a conscious decision to move non-urgent freight by rail. They will then collect it at its town or city of destination and make the final delivery. As a general rule, road freight is more cost-effective over shorter distances, but rail, especially with large bulk freight, is cheaper over longer distances. Customers who have time-critical deliveries – often any perishable goods – use road freight, but if there is no urgency rail is often a better option over longer distances. National Road Carriers welcomes the new Government’s plans to build a third main trunk line between Wiri and Southdown/Metroport in order to shift the growing amount of freight coming in and out of Auckland, while not compromising commuter trains. Long-term projections by the Ministry of Transport show

that while the overall volume of freight will increase, the relative amount of freight being moved by road, rail and coastal shipping will remain much the same as now. In 2013 there were 216 million tonnes of road freight nationwide and 17 million tonnes moved by rail. By 2042 those numbers are expected to rise to 335 million tonnes and 25 million tonnes for road and rail respectively. Less than 10 percent of the road transport industry’s freight is line hauled over longer distances in direct competition with rail. Most is trucked around large urban areas, or where rail freight does not operate. Statistics from the Ports of Auckland and Tauranga for the year ending 31 March 2017 show the variables between road and rail freight. Auckland handled more than 950,000 containers, but only 87,000 were by rail. Many of the remaining number were on short haul trips around the greater Auckland area. In contrast, Tauranga handled 1,085 million containers with more than 46 percent of those on rail freight longer haul journeys. At the end of the day, customers will dictate how they want their freight moved. To service the growing population of greater Auckland and the increased traffic volumes crossing the city in either direction, there is a need for better access to the inland Metroport at Te Papapa, and from State Highway One and State Highway 20, to complement the planned rail improvements. As an organisation we are glad the Government is going to relook at alternatives to the East-West Link. Something has to be done to get freight in and out of the Metroport rail hub and reduce the congestion on the existing streets in Sylvia Park, Penrose, Te Papapa and Onehunga. Better rail services and improved road access for freight vehicles to the rail hubs means fewer clogged urban roads. That way everybody wins. It can’t happen soon enough. 

As a general rule, road freight is more costeffective over shorter distances, but rail, especially with large bulk freight, is cheaper over longer distances.

Will rail really take trucks off the road? Late last year we saw in the media a lot of comment about how the Labour-led Government was promising to invest in rail after releasing a report it says National sat on, which it says shows the hidden benefits of using rail amounts to $1.5 billion per year.

he report somehow showed that rail as a freight substitute would deliver these savings from having fewer trucks and cars on roads, less damage to roads, not as much congestion, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. So it seemed that the key to the analysis was the savings created by taking trucks off the road would be this big number, but it failed to say how rail was actually going to deliver in an efficient way, so your ‘Weetbix got to the supermarket’ so to speak. There seems to be a number of blind spots in this analysis, mostly around cost-effective just-in-time delivery of product which is now the pervasive worldwide model. So I believe such blind spots will, like a lot of policy, have to be modified once the facts start to match the realities. While it is true there are a number of efficiencies that can be gained from rail, it seems the approach needed is one of a multimodal approach in regard to the movement of freight and an assessment of the economics to understand which parts of this will work for road, and which part for rail.

by Dennis Robertson, General manager RTANZ

Both have a role to play and it is important that we get this right, particularly in regard to the economics of each option, including cost efficiencies around congestion, emissions etc. Transport Minister Phil Twyford said the report by consultants EY was commissioned by NZTA and KiwiRail in 2016, and was sat on by the National Government because it had an ideological bias against rail. The key here, however, is to make sure the ideological pendulum doesn’t swing back the other way. After all we are a small country, competing on a world stage and punching above our weight. Getting this right will be the best outcome for ‘NZ Inc’, and the politics need to be put to one side, because if we want to enjoy a high standard of living and live in a clean green country, we are going to have to get the balance right. Phil Twyford said, “The Labour-led Government will restore balance to transport funding, boosting investment in rail infrastructure, both for passengers and freight”. Let’s hope he doesn’t wake up one morning to find there’s no Weetbix because the train got held up by a strike. 

Road transport to deal with mixed bag under new government

s expected the new government has wasted very little time getting its feet under the desk since being sworn in and has been busy with implementing the policy programme its three parties campaigned on during September’s election campaign. The new government’s policies around transport should not come as a shock to the road transport sector as they are broadly consistent with the policies that Labour, New Zealand First and the Greens have proposed for some years now. Overall, we are looking at a far more hands-on, economically nationalist government that is not satisfied with leaving the various transport modes to compete based on their own comparative advantages. As the industry with, arguably, the greatest advantage over other modes, the road transport sector should expect a tilting of the playing field away from it through a range of interventionist policy-making. Firstly, the coalition agreement negotiated between Labour and New Zealand contains a provision to create a $1 billion per annum regional development fund. This is not in itself a bad thing, but the fund has been specifically earmarked for investment in regional rail and a feasibility study on the options for moving the Ports of Auckland (including giving serious consideration to Northport). Both of these policies have the potential to soak up significant funding for dubious economic benefit. It is disappointing that Auckland’s East-West Link has been specifically listed in Labour’s confidence and supply agreement with the Greens for cancellation. While estimated costs for the project have ballooned alarmingly over recent years, the issue of freeing up freight movements between Onehunga and Penrose remains. If indeed the new government does scrap the EastWest Link then they will need to come up with an alternative, preferably in consultation with the road transport industry. As much as they may not wish to build a new road, relying on the status quo is not an option. Reprioritising the National Land Transport Fund towards rail infrastructure, walking and cycling is another clause in the Greens’ agreement that is of deep concern to RTF. RTF is committed to the principle that the NLTF remain a ringfenced, user-pays fund that is reinvested back where it comes from. If the NLTF is expanded to pay for development and maintenance of infrastructure for other transport modes then we believe those other modes should contribute to it. Transparent pricing without modal cross-subsidisation is the only fair and equitable way to truly preserve the integrity of government funding in transport. While there are certainly policies that we disagree with the new government on, early indications are that it is also keen to

New Zealand Trucking

January – February 2018

make progress in areas more advantageous to the industry. The agreement between Labour and New Zealand First contains a pledge to offer free driver training to all secondary school students. This is an important and timely promise. We know that more and more young people are leaving school without even a class one licence and that is having an obvious impact on their interest in our industry. It is also true that a very high proportion of unemployed young people do not have a licence, so this policy makes sense on a number of levels. RTF is adamant that the new government must also seek to reinvigorate the stalled Driver Licensing Review and that is something we will be lobbying very strongly for. The review has the potential to introduce a more fit-for-purpose licensing system that would remove some of the costs and compliance burden of the current scheme. Transport operators have long considered the present system as a major impediment to attracting new drivers. Currently it takes too long and is far too expensive. The election campaign also illustrated that the time for congestion charging may have arrived. All major parties agreed that the use of demand management through road pricing can have an impact on traffic congestion in Auckland. RTF is therefore encouraging the new government to scrap its plan to introduce an Auckland regional fuel tax that will be difficult to administer and instead commit to a road pricing system combining much needed demand management with the possibility of regional revenue raising. Finally, it is encouraging that the new government is determined to tackle the current upward trend of the road toll. Some real analysis is needed to find the underlying causes behind the rising number of serious road accidents and it is obvious that investment is needed in the improvement of safety infrastructure such as safety barriers, road straightening and level crossing signals. Associate Transport Minister Julie Anne Genter has indicated that road safety will be given greater attention by the government, and did not rule out an increase in funding for road safety engineering. That is one investment this government can make that I don’t think anyone within our industry would disagree with. 

The New Mercedes-Benz X-Class A Close Encounter With What’s To Come It was an overwhelming few days for Trucks & Trailers Vijay Chhagn, who recently took out a top Mercedes-Benz Van salesman prize that landed him in Austria at the Mercedes-Benz X-Class Global Training Experience Centre. Here Vijay spent five days getting close and personal with the first of a new kind of Ute, due to hit the New Zealand market in early 2018. He is one of the first in the world to see and test drive the X-Class and it’s fair to say he’s now more excited than ever about its arrival. I sat down with Vijay to hear what he has to say about it. “My first impression of the X-Class when I saw it was wow, it looks even better in the flesh” says Vijay. “Yes, it’s a ute but it is different to anything else on the market

at the moment”. The lines of the X-Class are classy, rounded, and seamless. The colour range, including red, black, dark blue, dark grey, silver, brown, and white is stylish, especially the metallic colour range. The paint finish is glossy and flawless. “The standard variants make it a stand out on it’s own, but the accessories individualise it and give it a different personality while not in any way jeopardising the overall look”, says Vijay. “It looks great with various alloy wheel options in 17-inch silver, 18-inch grey, or 19-inch black, as well as roof rails, style bars, tow bar, a wide range of cover options, bed liners, dividers, storage boxes, steps, the list goes on”. “Open the door and it just gets better! It’s everything you expect and more

from a Mercedes-Benz”, says Vijay. The dashboard in matt black, aluminum, and wood grain finishes are all incredibly stylish. “I couldn’t pick a favorite,” he says. All are five-seat configuration, two front and three back. Multifunction steering wheel with 12 control buttons, cruise control with variable speed limiter, air-conditioning, 4 x 12V sockets, armrests, bottle holders in each door, comfort overhead control panel with eyewear compartment, locking glove compartment, entry and assist grips front and rear, power windows, and central locking with remote. To top it off an audio sound system with touchpad, innovative controller and large TFT central media display with a screen diagonal of 17.8 cm. The unit connects to Media with two USB ports and SD slot,

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ and of course Bluetooth connectivity, supporting wma, aac, mp3 and wav audio formats, and has a picture viewer to allow image files to be viewed. “I couldn’t wait to drive it!” says Vijay. “But first of all we took a spin in the competitor Utes on an off-road course before we were given the keys to the X-Class. This is where the magic really happened. The steering, handling, and precision off-road is in a league of its own,” he says. “The power is effortless as it glides over the terrain and undulations, the steering and movement around corners is so controlled. It feels so safe!” This aided by double-wishbone front suspension, multi-link coil rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and the rear differential lock in the 4x4 variant. “Off-road is effortless!” he says. On-roads turn, and “there wasn’t any surprises as we glided through the tight twists and turns of Austria’s cobbled roads,” says Vijay. “On to the freeway and on with cruise control was more like a first class flight experience than a driving one.” The three models: Pure, Power, and Progressive were all the same technically, more or less, 2,298cc 4 cylinder 140kW, 450 Nm direct injection, twin turbocharged, 6 speed manual or 7 speed automatic with selectable 4WD.

Geoffrey (Geoff) Walsh 1953—2017 “The Totara has fallen in the forest of Tane. A very sad day for the industry.” Mathew Gillies This month the NZ Truck-Trailer Manufacturers’ Federation lost one of its most venerated and strongest advocates. Geoff Walsh died suddenly in Auckland on Wednesday 15 November, aged 64. Geoff was a long-serving member of the federation. He and his company, Transport Technology Ltd, joined us in 1987 and he served as our secretary for four years and for a further two years as president. However, the loss of Geoff Walsh will be felt far beyond the industry bodies who he served so emphatically and effectively. He was a tireless and much-respected advocate for the entire road transport industry, and that includes the industry’s regulatory bodies which Geoff dealt with almost daily. As one of our most gifted and experienced engineers and certifiers, Geoff’s knowledge was called upon constantly. Few could compete with Geoff and his wealth of experience when it came to helping develop, and then implement, workable and robust regulations for our industry. “Many times, he was the voice of moderation across many of the complex issues the industry faced” – Kerry Arnold RTF From a very young age, Geoff Walsh had a

passion for transport. His parents owned a general store on the Central Plateau behind a truck depot: Robinson and Crawford, at Broadlands Reporoa. In 1974, he went to work with Mills-Tui Trailers for 12 months. He also did some time in Auckland working in materials handling before doing his OE in London for three years working on scrap reclamation. On his return to New Zealand he joined Steel Bros as an engineer. In 1984, he won the E. J. Brennan Memorial Trust travel award and spent three months in Europe, U.S.A., and Australia studying vehicle weights and dimensions and intermodal transport. In 1986, Geoff and his wife Paula started Transport Technology Limited. It has since gone on to be one of our industry’s larger design consultancies. But, for all his experience, his contributions, his achievements, Geoff may perhaps be best remembered for the man he was: quietly spoken, affable, knowledgeable, accessible—ready to help out, even at some not insignificant personal cost in terms of time and travel – and that wonderful sense of laid back humour. As his obituary in the NZ Herald said: “(Geoff) was a true gentleman who will be missed by us all.” The transport industry will certainly miss him.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... THE LAST MILE

The legacy of Sir Humphrey

ome may remember the 1970’s British television series Yes Minister and one of its star characters Sir Humphrey Appleby. Sir Humphrey was the ultimate bureaucrat i.e. what governments do must benefit the bureaucracy and without bureaucrats anarchy would reign. Around the same time as this programme was on air in New Zealand our Ministry of Transport was born. As the name suggests this brought together all the agencies dealing with transport (land, air and maritime) into one entity. If you wanted to find out anything to do with transport in New Zealand, the ministry was the place to go. This was logical and simple one would think, but alas no, bureaucrats don’t do logical and simple; these principles eat away at the heart of their very existence. Having established the ministry the bureaucrats then got to work dismantling it. There is nothing like creating confusion in the minds of the people who they are meant to serve – us – to create an impression of great importance in the mind

of a bureaucrat. The Air Services Department was spun off to become the Airways Corporation and the Civil Aviation Authority; maritime became the Maritime Safety Authority and more recently Maritime New Zealand, and land transport became the Land Transport Safety Authority, then Land Transport New Zealand and is currently the NZ Transport Agency, who despite their title, only deal with matters related to land transport. Of course changes such as these are easily justified on the grounds of them being good for the people and to improve customer service. Who are the people these changes benefit? The bureaucrats of course. As for improving customer services, perhaps one day the head bureaucrat will realise that the people who go to these agencies do so because they have to, not because they want to; they have no other option. It’s not like buying groceries where you have the choice of where you get them from; when dealing with bureaucrats you must go to them – you are captured in the web they spin, you are certainly not a customer. Bureaucrats operate within a monopoly created by them for their benefit, the same as laws are created by lawyers for their benefit. Despite all the rhetoric you hear such as “your call is important to us”, bureaucrats don’t care really how long you spend on the telephone trying to get an answer to your question, they operate in a world quite distant from one the majority of us are in where time is money. But of course bureaucrats do claim to make it easier for you by having customer call or contact centres that used to be called help desks before they realised they were anything but. To be fair successive governments have attempted to control the rampant growth of the species bureaucrat by imposing staff ceilings, but the species is very cunning and has devised a sub species, contractors and consultants. Thus the work of the bureaucracy is able to continue, unabated, often using the same people who were originally in the primary species but have morphed one way or another into the sub species, often getting paid a lot more for doing much the same work. The fact that the money used to pay this sub species comes out of a different bucket to that where wages and salaries of the primary species comes from appears to completely satisfy the head bureaucrat, forgetting entirely for the moment that all of it comes from us through taxation in one form or another. The actor who played Sir Humphrey died a number of years ago but his legacy, as portrayed in the TV series, is alive, well, and thriving. Walk along The Terrace in Wellington any week day and you will see them scurrying off to their meetings happy in the knowledge that whoever employs them is never going to have to go to the bank for an overdraft to pay staff wages or negotiate a new rate with a customer because a competitor has just offered a lower one.
