Let’s all pay for more of everything

A

t what point do we rethink our approach to things and come up with solutions that assist across multiple problem areas? Take speeding, and congestion. I’ve said on a number of occasions that central government’s approach to speeding is political and all about being seen to do the right thing without solving the problem. Huge inroads could be made in combatting speed through on-board vehicle technology and instant fines, with recidivist activity resulting in permanent driving bans. The money accumulated bringing our driving populous into line could be put into the National Land Transport Fund, and the trains, buses, and cycleways it paid for would be there for the carless offenders to ride around in with all the others. The problem is, changing behaviour on a grand scale might reduce the tax take from speeding fines significantly and we can’t have that. Finding the balance between concern, action and revenue is truly the art of politics. Imagine a population with a mindset toward speed aligned to that of wearing seatbelts. Of course, once such an enforcement approach to things gained a foothold we’d have to see where things were as the money saved in accident clean-up costs would be apparent in the coffers, wouldn’t it?

Congestion. The fuel tax thing baffles me too as it’s going to do little to help congestion. However, surely charging for coming into the peak areas at the wrong time would. The problem is, if congestion charging stopped people coming in, and freed up the road, it would reduce the tax take and we can’t have that. No, the best solution is to tax everyone whether

they’re in the zone or not. So, the result there is no one cares, there’s no incentive, just more cost.

While I do concede that Auckland’s rail and bus facilities would be in the cart if tomorrow everyone said, ‘Bugger it, I’ll take the train or bus to avoid the toll road’, it is all just part and parcel of a society intoxicated by the belief they’re ‘entitled’.

Administration after administration have attempted to placate any uprising from the masses in the event they sniff a loss of what they believe to be their fundamental right.

There’s a series of signs on Puhinui Road in the Auckland Airport precinct that just encapsulates where society is today.

A two-lane carriage way with a T2/EV, lane and picture of a truck with a line through it, inferring the trucks have to remain in the blockade of other traffic, unable to use the largely clear lane to their immediate left, at peak times in the afternoon. Now, I would have thought airports and the associated airfreight hinterland was a critical area to move goods around in, and trucks should have been a priority vehicle in a congested environment. But no. Of-course the enlightened people will point out that EV trucks would be allowed in such a caring, sharing, atmospheric friendly carriageway, and it’s only nasty diesel and petrol trucks that are ostracised. Trouble is, the world’s only mass-produced EV truck hasn’t made it here as yet. So rather than charge the people who don’t need to be there, penalise the ones who do. But there’s more votes sitting in cars than trucks I guess.

t seems the world can’t get enough video, and it’s becoming ever more apparent that this delivery mechanism is one of the new generation’s preferred methods of taking in content.

“Based on April figures alone we could easily see two million views on our total video uploads by year end,“ said Matt Smith, sales and marketing manager at New Zealand Trucking Media.

“Keep On Moving and Truck Trader Deal of the Day have both been hugely successful. We’re constantly increasing our suite of products, so customers have options when it comes to both delivering their message on the one hand, and receiving it

on the other. While the investment is significant, the benefits to all parties are huge in terms reach and therefore value per dollar spent.

“It’s very exciting,” said Smith.

New Zealand Trucking magazine editor Dave McCoid agrees.

“So many of our viewers and readers are truckers and so there’s a social obligation to deliver them information that will help them at work too. We’ve had great feedback on Keep On Moving. It would have been a handy tool back in the day and something we wouldn’t have believed possible.”

Drawbar certifications revoked

T

he NZ Transport Agency has sent notices to owners of affected vehicles following the revocation of certifications for towbars fitted to 802 heavy vehicles certified by Peter Wastney Engineering Ltd. The action was taken to address concerns identified through visual inspections of vehicles as part of the NZTA’s response to broader safety issues relating to that company.

The inspections took place following the issuing of a heavy vehicle safety alert by the NZTA on 14 February that required operators of vehicles with affected towbars, drawbeams, or drawbars to urgently have them cleaned and inspected for signs of failure, carry out daily inspections before use, and discontinue using vehicles if cracks or failures were found.

The alert was issued in response to an investigation carried out by NZTA following an on-road drawbeam failure in August 2017 that resulted in an accident. As part of that investigation, an independent engineering review was undertaken, which established some towing connections

10

New Zealand Trucking

were not adequately designed for the loads to which they had been certified. Wastney’s status as an approved heavy vehicle certifier was suspended in September 2017, and he surrendered his certification authority.

The majority of the affected vehicles are located in the Nelson, Marlborough, Tasman and West Coast areas.

NZTA operational standards manager Craig Basher said visual inspections of 23 affected heavy vehicle drawbeams and drawbars by specialist certifiers have also raised concerns, with at least one drawbar requiring immediate repair. An urgent review of the certification documents and engineering assessments for the drawbeams and drawbars fitted to another 700 heavy trucks and trailers covered by the safety alert was underway, in order to determine if further revocations or other actions were required. Once a decision is made, this will be communicated to affected vehicle owners.

Record investment to get the car park moving

A

uckland is set to get two new roads after the Government and Auckland Council announced it would embark on New Zealand’s largest ever civil construction programme to create a 21st century transport network.

“Together, we will invest $28 billion over the next decade to unlock Auckland’s potential,” said Minister of Transport Phil Twyford.

“We will be building vital projects including light rail, Penlink and Mill Road, heavy rail and bus upgrades, safety improvements, and more dedicated cycle lanes.”

Twyford said the much-needed investments were made possible by a $4.4 billion funding boost resulting from the Auckland fuel tax, increased revenue from the National Land Transport Fund, and Crown Infrastructure Partners contributions.

“This $28 billion plan will help ease the awful congestion that has been caused by a decade of under-investment. We will create a congestion-free rapid transit network and boost other alternatives to driving to help free up the roads, enable growth, and improve safety for drivers and others,” said Twyford.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said ATAP balanced the need to deal with Auckland’s immediate and pressing transport needs, as well as being transformational for the future.

“ATAP reflects the need for efficient roading for green and brownfield housing development, new transport corridors and major arterial routes. But as Auckland grows we need to move from a focus on roading to a more balanced approach that promotes public transport and active transport networks.

“Auckland has to contribute its share and the regional fuel

tax allows us to do that. The more than $4 billion expenditure it unlocks is critically important to progressing a better transport system for Auckland.”

Under ATAP, Auckland is expected to receive 38% of the National Land Transport Fund over the next decade, proportionate with the region’s growing share of New Zealand’s population.

The National Road Carriers association CEO David Aitken welcomed plans to accelerate the building of the Penlink and Mill Road projects, but said they now needed to get on with it and ensure it was future-proofed.

“By the time Penlink is built the two lanes won’t be adequate, so they might as well build the four lanes straight away.”

Aitken said while he was happy with the announcements he was still looking for details on the revised lower cost plan for the East-West link between Sylvia Park and Onehunga. He said the NRC could not envisage the East-West link working on a different route from that which has already received Environment Court approval.

New Zealand Trucking Association CEO Dave Boyce said he supported all of Aitken’s comments.

“What’s happening up there with the plans for the two new roads is great – anything that improves the roading network is good.

“The East-West Link is something that shouldn’t be dropped, that’s for certain. I think it’s needed, but the government seems to be determined not to worry about it at the moment.”

Kaikoura canned

N

ZTA has advised a proposed State Highway 1 deviation through Kaikoura would not proceed.

Jim Harland, NZTA director regional relationships, said the deviation was being investigated to improve access to Kaikoura town centre, in recognition of the safety issues turning on and off the state highway’s three key intersections.

He said although there had been crashes at the intersections in the past 10 years, it was a relatively low speed environment and there had been no fatality or serious

12

New Zealand Trucking

June 2018

injury crashes in recent years.

NZTA consultation on the proposed deviation found 56% of respondents did not want it.

While the deviation was identified as the best option to increase safety, the expected cost of around $30 million, combined with community opposition, meant the project could not be justified given the relatively low crash numbers, Harland said.

NZTA will now look at alternative options to increase safety.

Shirley asks, “What’s happening with RONS?”

R

oad Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley urges the Government to let communities know their plans for the former Roads of National Significance (RONS) routes.

“Communities around New Zealand that were looking forward to new safe motorways when the second tranche of RONS were announced now have no idea of the future for those routes,” said Shirley. “It is critical that the Government announces its specific intentions as soon as possible.”

Many of the RONS projects shelved by the Government were planned for stretches of state highway with significant safety issues and Shirley said it was not unreasonable for those who frequent those highways to be provided with some certainty over the Government’s intentions.

“At the moment everyone is in the dark. Highways such as Katikati to Tauranga and Te Hana to Whangarei have seen a number of fatalities,” said Shirley. “Unfortunately, proposed projects for those routes seem to have been postponed

indefinitely, despite the exemplary safety record of the existing RONS.” Shirley said while the Government’s rhetoric was that the RONS projects were wasteful spending and that the new safety programme will be spread more broadly and be more effective, it was time the Government let regional communities in on their plans.

Is fuel tax the answer though?

N

ational Road Carriers association CEO David Aitken said a regional fuel tax (RFT) would be nothing more than a stopgap measure to start funding Auckland’s much-needed road infrastructure upgrade.

It is estimated the RFT will only provide $1.5 billion of the $10 billion needed in the next 10 years.

Aitken said the NRC members’ biggest concern was congestion and the delays it caused, and that an RFT would not change that, whereas tolls and/or congestion charging would make motorists reassess whether they need to use particular roads. He said the Auckland Transport Alignment Project report had recommended road pricing options as the best way to fund future infrastructure and start relieving congestion.

The Land Transport Management (Regional Fuel Tax) Amendment Bill introduced to Parliament in March was a mechanism to raise funds for transport infrastructure programmes that would otherwise be delayed or not funded.

Under the Bill, Auckland Council must first consult with

David Aitken CEO National Road Carriers Inc

residents on the proposed projects it wishes to fund, and then obtain government approval before the RFT could be implemented.

“It’s hardly a quick process,” said Aitken. “We need to be getting on with things now.”

He pointed to the successful introduction of congestion charging in cities worldwide in limiting traffic volumes and raising revenue.

Shipping must play its role as things heat up

I

n April at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Greenhouse Gas reduction strategy negotiations in London, New Zealand urged the IMO not to miss the opportunity to adopt a workable and effective strategy to bring rising greenhouse gas emissions from shipping under control.

Associate Minister of Transport Julie Anne Genter said the IMO strategy needed to be ambitious with appropriate measures implemented as soon as possible and it needed to apply to all IMO member states and all ships equally, regardless of which state a ship was registered in.

Genter said shipping was vital for Pacific countries, including New Zealand, and everyone had a part to play ensuring that maritime trade happened in an environmentally friendly way.

Minister for Climate Change James Shaw said a recent report by the OECD’s International Transport Forum showed there were practical steps that could be taken now to reduce shipping emissions and that shipping could be almost carbon-free by 2035.

Company CEO Mark Gibson said moving forward using the SeaLink name across all operations helped their customers identify with all facets of the company’ supply chain – passengers, vehicles and freight.

Alongside the reimaging programme Gibson detailed a significant investment of more than $1 million dollars on 16 new fleet vehicles, comprising eight heavy Isuzu trucks, seven semi trailers, and a Mercedes-Benz 316 Sprinter van.

The new signage will also be applied to equipment within the existing fleet.

To complement the new vehicles Gibson outlined how the company depots were also being addressed and significant works were planned to help

New option in container handling

B

ISON, the global leader in container jacking systems, has launched a new, automated container lift solution capturing the attention of importers and exporters around the world.

“The C-Lift A32 is a game changer for shippers wanting to work with grounded containers,” said BISON CEO, Greg Fahey.

“Currently, these companies have to invest a lot of money in on-site handling equipment, or bear the cost and limitations of a third party lift service – assuming one is available in the area.”

BISON is promoting the A32 as a serious alternative to mainstream container handling equipment, offering shippers the freedom to lift containers independently, at times and in places that best suit them, and delivering a return on investment through lower costs and improved operating efficiencies.

The A32 comprises four mobile lifting columns, driven by electric powered hydraulics and controlled by a wireless remote. On-board electronics ensure stability and synchronous lifting. The A32 lifts all ISO container types and sizes, including ISO tanks, high cubes and 53 footers. It has a lift capacity of 32 tonnes, and only takes one operator three to five minutes to lift the container from ground to trailer height.

n April UD Trucks launched ‘Fujin & Raijin. Vision 2030.’ – an innovation roadmap that aimed to deliver a variety of solutions for smart logistics, including fully electric and autonomous trucks by 2030.

The roadmap focuses on the key areas of automation and electromobility to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. It takes a step-by-step approach together with customers to offer commercialised solutions for select automation and electromobility applications from 2020, with a view toward fully fledged commercialisation by 2030.

“When delivering on our promise to provide the trucks and

services the world needs today, we have always done things a bit differently from others in our industry,” said UD Trucks chairman Joachim Rosenberg. “As we now look forward, we are convinced that the world needs smart logistics.”

Over the course of 2018, UD Trucks will conduct demonstrations of autonomous driving and electric drive prototypes, targeting field tests and customer trials.

here’s no main test strapline this month. The reason is simple; this is not a test. This is a celebration. A celebration of a bonnet line that dates back 55 years. A celebration of a shape and a presence that can be counted among an elite group of trucks that not only had a Pied Piper effect on a legion of future drivers, but also celebrated the role of the truck in the broader society. Although the ranks of those once wide-eyed followers who climbed aboard back in the day can now see retirement looming at some point down life’s highway, they still currently

form the backbone of what’s keeping this country moving. We have to ask ourselves what the message is in all that.

This is also the celebration of all that’s Kiwi and one man’s influence on the rekindling of a classic 27-odd years ago. And last but not least, this is a celebration of the eternity of class. That although the heart will always usurp the mind, with this truck, owners, drivers, and even those purveyors of all that’s plain – accountants – can still rest easy with the outcome of a decision to buy a piece of modern history in 2018.

Where do you start?

You start in the Hawke’s Bay at 5am when the lights of a log truck, trailer up, rolling into the outskirts of Waipukurau, appear in the windscreen from the midst of a thick fog.

“Is that it?” The excitement is almost palpable. The familiar yellow chassis and silver bolsters of a Satherley truck create a stir at the best of times, and we’ve been tricked once already this morning. But not this time. Out of the murk appears the number plate LGD900. Strangely there’s a calmness in the ute as we realise what we’re seeing is a gleaming new vision of the past. It’s like a scene from one of Sir Peter Jackson’s finest.

It also reinforced to us how right it was to wait for this truck. New Zealand had a huge part in the genesis of the original T900 back in 1990/91. Mount Maunganui-based Mike Lambert, a legend himself in the world of log cartage and wood product handling, petitioned Kenworth for a model that harked back to the robustness and classic lines of the W Model, a truck he felt was the perfect machine for his line of work. A truck that looked like a log truck should. “We’ve got a bunch of early 1980s models in the fleet now and we get people coming in and asking if any are for sale. That doesn’t happen with any other brands,” said Lambert at the time.

New Zealand Trucking magazine tested the first T900 to ever turn a wheel in anger, gracing the world stage in the famous red and white Lambert Livery. Driven by Arthur ‘Boots’ Ryan, the test truck spent the day dragging logs out of woodlots into the Kinleith Mill at Tokoroa. That was a test, and rightly so. At the time the T900 was a production truck, available to anyone and everyone who had the dosh. Today that’s not the case. As right as it might be on every level to write this feature on a

T900 Legend heading into the bush for logs, you can’t test a truck that’s one of only 256. You can stand outside Bayswater now screaming for one, holding your breath until your face turns blue; they’ll just stare at you through the window and wave. All the T900 Legends have their first homes. For most it’ll be their only home. Most will only ever know one livery. In Bevan Satherley’s inimitable and laconic style, “It’d be the last thing sold… after the mailbox.”

We don’t care what the cab’s laid out like and how it stacks up against today’s market. Comparative analysis formed no part of a single buyer’s consideration prior to placing their order. If you’ve bought one these machines, then grabbing the cab handle, the door latch, and then the steering wheel is the only way to haul yourself into the cab. This is a memory of a simpler, more honest time. This truck is an escape. But an escape that can still earn a quid nonetheless.

Do what I do

We follow the Kenworth T900 Legend, build No 164, for the next hour deep into the Wairarapa, to the Wimbledon Forest.

Driver Shane McFarlane has been driving trucks since day dot.

Hailing from Gisborne there’s not much this genuine, clever, down-to-earth bloke hasn’t done. The first thing we notice trundling along behind the truck on the narrow roads out to Porangahau and on to Herbertville is the style, not just of the truck, but also the man. A log truck of the era in the hands of a driver taught the craft the way they did back then. There were precious few brake lights or resonating engine brake sounds.

The Legend simply drifted along, driven in accordance with what the road allowed, not what the schedule deemed. For

Lookng superb rolling into the port with load one for the day.

many, the lessons encompassed in that hour alone are endless.

Shane’s loading time was 6am. The skid was close to the road and it wasn’t long before a load of privileged logs were on their way to the Port of Napier – come on, if you were a log heading for some bandsaw in Asia, wouldn’t you want your last ride in a T900 Legend? The trip out was just as serene to watch as the trip in, the Kraft trailer following, giving the odd little dip and wiggle on this most secondary of secondary, shoulderless rural roads.

Bevan Satherley said he’s been quizzed by a few on buying the 6x4 and 4-axle trailer. Aside from a classic Satherley reply of, “It’s my money, I’ll buy what I want” (Legend!), it’s all about horses for courses. “The H trucks are great and we’ve got a few but you couldn’t have a fleet of them. There’s no one configuration that’s the answer to everything.”

And he’s bang on. Because wood lots comprise a good proportion of Satherley Logging’s work, and access can be well

off the beaten track on roads that have never heard of bitumen, much less an HPMV certification. In addition, tracks into such locations are often less than ideal and a CTI equipped 6x4 and 4-axle trolley is still pretty much top of the pops when it comes to getting out of shitty places.

A youngster in Dad’s singlet

Unloaded at Napier it was time for a quick coffee on the outskirts of town and a look at the young heart and legs of this machine. While the Legend’s appearance is intended to be everything we’ve conveyed, the heritage side of things ends under the shiny surface; for there beats the heart of youth.

The Legend series, now in its second iteration, came about largely on the back of modern SCR engines not having the cooling requirements of their EGR predecessor. That meant all the old radiator frontages came back into play and clever people wondered if it might be a good idea to do a heritage

Snazzy. Tidy. No holes. Legend!

Welcome home For folk of our generation the only thing missing as we climbed into the cab was the good Mr Dobbyn standing outside singing his ode to the weary traveller.

The Legends get the B Series cab, the last of the flat screen jobs. They were the bee’s knees in the day, with 100mm more depth than the W Model. They also have the traditional doors with quarter lights and air window controls.

“The doors are better in this,” said Shane. “See the door lock? It’s back behind the armrest where they used to be.

They’re better there because you’re not always locking the thing accidently with your arm.”

It was cabs like this in which many of us grew up, cleaned for pocket money, and in some cases eventually sat in as we carted a load down the road.

The interior of the Legend is a nicer place though – as we’ve said, quieter – and all that’s been learned in the art of motor vehicle trimming has been lavishly bestowed on this time capsule. Cute little additions too, like coffee cup holders, a must today, even for the man at the wheel in this machine, who like us, probably came from a time when flash coffee

came out of those bubbly glass jug things and tasted bitter as buggery.

And the beautiful flat dash, in its various guises so long a trademark Kenworth thing, void of any garish data screen.

A dash probably designed by people who knew movement helped keep you alert. Now they think sitting dead still with everything at your fingertips is the answer, and they wonder why eyeball cameras and vibrating chairs are needed to try and prevent the inevitable.

But the Legend cab is extra special. The seats and trim – in the traditional trim colour from the 90’s model – are embossed with Legend and Limited Edition in key places, and there’s a wooden plaque on the glovebox lid identifying the build number.

There’s a limited edition wooden shift knob, chrome spoke steering wheel and switch gear, as well as silver bezel gauge surrounds.

And again, Shane’s the perfect custodian for this machine.

“I’m a bit OCD on some things. Man, I said if anyone drills a hole in this cab to mount some bloody thing, there’ll be hell to pay. See that bracket under the CTI for hanging up the mics? I had one in the 904 so I had one made for this by Steve Flynn at Price Engineering. All tidy and no holes. I hate it when a screw’s taken out of the trim to mount a mic-hook! Bloody terrible.”

But with all that said, the best part about this cab, the thing no other cab can replicate, is the view from the two-piece flat glass screen. There isn’t, and never will be any view quite like it.

Realising this was bigger than Elvis, the approach to the T900 was to open up a 24-hour window of time for placing the order, ‘and we’ll build what we get’. The result was 256 Legends on the assembly line. That’s a pretty handy way to give annual production a kick-along, but it’s also a stark reminder to the design department. When the co-efficient intoxicated graduates are dreaming up the next truck we all want to buy, they should be sat in a room with an enormous poster of a T900 Legend on the wall and the slogan – ‘We sold 256 of these things in one day. Remember – sex sells!’

Tip the gorgeous bonnet on the Satherley machine and thar-she-be, a Cummins e5 X15 looking very much at home in period black with a red ‘do’ circa an N14 CELECT ‘C’mon!’

The engine in the Satherley truck is rated at 447kW (600hp) at 1600rpm with a peak torque of 2780Nm (2050lb/ft) at 1150rpm. Chasing along behind is the Eaton RTLO209018B 18-speed manual (of course). Front axle is the Meritor MFS66-122 on taper leaf springs and out back are Meritor RT46-160GP axles with dual diff lock at 4.3:1, riding on PACCAR AG460 steel pedestal 8-bag air suspension. So that’s impressive!

…so let’s do it all over again

Twenty-seven years later, let’s head out to a wood lot in a brand new T900 Kenworth powered by a Cummins dressed in black and red, ‘quite’ new on the engine scene…okay, so the X15’s been around for a bit and it’s not really black and red in normal trim, but humour us here.

One thing the test of ’91 was heralding in that hasn’t changed was a new generation of engines operating in a tighter rev band, and that’s certainly stood the test of time. The X15’s 1100 to 1600rpm sweet zone is where it’s at today, not too far removed from N14 CELECT’s 1300 to 1700rpm range. What has changed is the speed with which Shane would disappear from sight in ‘Boots’ Ryan’s two-piece windshield. The 7-axle B-train unit Boots drove was pretty ‘trick’ back then, with a power-toweight ratio of 10.2hp/tonne at 45 tonne – be realistic, we all did it. However, a fully compliant 45 tonne in the 2018 7-axle Legend 900 log truck and trailer will be shunted along at 13.3hp/tonne. That’s a huge difference in every regard.

Climbing aboard and you’re instantly taken back in the best possible way. But not all is as it seems. As Shane releases the clutch pedal and lifts off, we notice ourselves still chatting as we were. The ’91 T900 recorded a healthy 78dB, exactly what you’d have expected and even sitting as close to the driver as you were, many conversations would have been interspersed with “Eh?”

No regrets “There must be some enormous holes under the ground in the Middle, East,“ laughs Shane McFarlane as the fuel tanker whizzes past heading the other way “That’s the trouble with this bloody job, you think too much about stuff.”

The cab fills with laughter.

This 48-year-old Gisborne son has been resident in Hawke’s Bay since he and wife Amanda moved their family down in 2003 for work, the lifestyle, and opportunities for their three girls.

“It was a good move. I took a job with Matt and Heather Purvis at Total Transport; that got me all over the place, Whangarei, everywhere. Total was a great place, but it wasn’t the same after the sale. Eight of us left on the same day. I went to Pan Pac for a couple of years and have basically been here with Bev ever since. It’s great. We were going all over the place, Gisborne, Wellington, Mount Maunganui, New Plymouth, but it’s been more local of recent. Suits me. What’s the point of having a great missus, kids and house if you’re not there to enjoy it.” Again the cab’s full of laughs. This most likeable man from Poverty Bay was born a trucker. His father, Basil, worked at Gisborne Transport, initially as a driver and later operations manager.

“Mum shoved us in the truck with Dad and a few other uncles and cousins pretty much when we could open gates. We were sheep dogs, drawbar ‘lifter-upperers’ – everything,” he laughs. “That’s the problem, they don’t start training until after they leave school today. Thanks to all who had the patience and time to teach me their skills ...much appreciated, you know who you are...cheers.

“If you want to learn, start at a rural carrier. You’ll learn everything; wool, hay, fert, chaining, covering, there’s nothing you won’t be able to put on the back of a truck.”

And that’s exactly what Shane did. He started out at Gisborne Transport doing all of the above. From there he moved on to log truck driving for a local owner-operator before a regional crisis in the forest industry meant the work ran out.

That initiated the move south to Hawke’s Bay, a job with Total Transport Ltd, and eventually on to Satherley Logging.

“I think the trucks and cars nowadays are half the problem. When I was a kid we piled into the HQ and if it was cold or frosty outside you knew it. The old man would be wiping condensation off the windscreen. You drove accordingly. If it was this cold inside then it must be bloody awful out. Now the inside is a perfect twenty-two degrees and the windows are crystal clear. You don’t know it’s icy or greasy. There’s no connection between the inside and the outside – next minute ‘whoosh’, they’re gone.

“I’ve always loved trucks and driving. My brother, Mark, drives too, up in Gisborne still. I remember hearing those RFL Fusos as a kid, the ones with the Jimmys in them, the old V8 Perkins’ in the Dodges, and the big Jap V8’s winding up from the intersection down the road. We’d run and watch them.

“I enjoy the job and the variety. Wood lots mean you go to new places no one else sees. There’s always a challenge.

“I’ve only recently started travelling, in the past few years. I bought a house when I was young so that kept me pinned down. I went to Melbourne and watched this [the Legend] being built, that was a good trip. I think Aussie’s me limit.

I can sit in a truck for hour after hour but three in a plane and I’m at me limit, haha.

“Nah, I have no regrets, it’s been great.”

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Not so in the Legend. We waved the sound meter around and it seemed happy to sit at about the 65dB level. Even snarling and pulling out of the bush with it all going on we couldn’t get the rowdy meter much more excited.

Looking through the screen down that bonnet in a brand new truck working in 2018 puts you in a very exclusive club.

Shane’s enjoying the experience, having come off a T904, another well-publicised Satherley machine.

“It’s nice and quiet, easier to get in and out of, and visibility’s a whole lot better. The 904 had hi-rise air intakes and a stainless bug deflector so seeing out of it was a challenge and you’d easily lose a car out front if you weren’t careful. This is a lot better. I loved the Cat and BrakeSaver in the 904, that’s an unbeatable combination, but this X15’s very similar in the way you drive it. It goes really well and the Jakes are good. Yeah, she’s all there really.”

Another journey into the lower Hawke’s Bay, this time east from Takapau, where we load at Bevan Satherley’s own gang, with Bevan on site.

Staff are the key to any business’s success and it’s obviously something Bevan has a knack for. The smoothness of Beau Tresidder on the loader was extraordinary, although like Shane, he was born into the job, coming from a long line of tree musterers. Logs were placed and tapped into place, inch perfect. There’s no chance loading would result in any ‘dings’ on the Legend under this man’s stewardship.

Loaded and chained it was in the cab to enjoy the journey off the skid only a bonneted Kenworth can deliver. One of the great things about this truck is that fact that it’ll work its arse off its entire life, like any other truck in the Satherley operation.

“I can’t afford an ornament,” chuckles Bevan.

And that’s just the way it should be. The X15 did what it does best and dragged the unit out over a steep little rise off the skid, putting up a fight to hold every gear, and then Shane held proceedings on the engine brake down the farmer’s track and out onto the road. Rolling the 30-odd kilometres out to SH2, up hill, down dale, and through a little gorge, the contemporary drivetrain did its thing, infinitely more driveable and user friendly than those early computerised engines Boots and company lived through. We’ve come a long way with microchips and motors.

With tanks full of the good motor-spirit the Kenworth tips the scales at 10,400kg and the Kraft trailer 5,300kg. That gives Legend a most respectable 29,300kg payload. The slowest proceedings got on the road out was around 38km/h in 5th highsplit (first slot in the high range), so all pretty effortless really.

The straight chassis Kraft 4-axle trailer behind the truck is also in keeping, and certainly has a period look about it, but that’s more a coincidence.

“I’ve tried all the fancy stuff, drop chassis and all that, but I look at Pacific Haulage, I don’t actually know the owners personally, but you have to admire what they’ve achieved, in the toughest logging country in the country I reckon,” said Bevan.

“Simple, gear with no frills, straight chassis on the trailers, no joins. If it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me. I’m going to keep it simpler.”

Under the period look though the unit still harbours the modern safety features you’d expect; ABS, EBS and the like, although Bevan won’t entertain disc brakes. “Not for logging,” he says. “Too many hassles.”

Looking right at home, just like his granddad was. The X15 in black and red commemorating the paint scheme of the period N14 CELECT.

A trucker to the core. Shane’s approach and general attitude to life and work make him a wonderful ambassador for the industry.

We won’t go into consumption on this truck. Firstly it’s a log truck on steep, short haul work; secondly, it’s new; thirdly, it has the drag coefficient of a housing estate; fourthly, if you’re reading this article for that reason there’s more important self-analysis questions that need to be raised; and fifthly, our bet is it’ll be about line ball with anything else out there doing the same work. At the end of the day economy is more about the way it’s being driven than anything else, and in that department, all is well people, all is well.

We whistle along SH2 and the CB is alive with chatter.

Shane’s a well-known identity in these parts and this truck, not to mention his previous ride, have only served to enhance that.

But this bloke is from good stock and he’s as well grounded as the tyres beneath his feet.

“It’s like the 904 when it first hit the track, attracting a lot of interest. It’s just something you have to go through I guess,” said Shane.

OEMs spend millions on cabover R&D trying to replicate the ride of an American bonneted truck on taper leaf springs and air. Sitting back down the chassis it’s a smooth ole passage and if you’ve wheeled an old school bonneted ‘K’dub’ around the traps, you’ll know that when loaded right it wrote the book on steering and handling in this category.

Beau Tresidder swings the trailer off and then (right) works his magic putting a load together.

Take a Legend and make it more ‘Legendary’

The Legend trucks fall under a Heritage series banner in the Kenworth world and as such they’re a celebration of a broader timeline than the base model necessarily represents. Take things like mud-flaps, the full-on bullet style marker lights, and the bug itself – their style certainly predates those of the era in which the T900 surfaced.

of their T900 Legends has surprised, in some cases astounded, Bevan. “We’ve spent bugger-all extra on ours, but we’ve done little things we think connect the truck with the era it came from even more. I deal with Mark O’Hara in the Southpac sales team and he’s real good.”

Those ‘little things’ included swapping out the square indicators for round, removing the stainless headlight surrounds, swapping out the stainless sun visor for a genuine, but never used, T900 fibreglass one, and the old school log frame behind the cab.

“I didn’t like the sun visor that came with them, I reckon they sat too high. I wanted a fibreglass job and managed to secure one.

“I think Kenworth got this right. I just want to say that. Last time the limited build probably wasn’t the right way to go, but you can’t complain about this one. Everyone had the same opportunity,” said Bevan.

Mark O’Hara, Southpac truck sales for the lower North Island said, “I was lucky to sell two of these great Legends, and the second truck will be on the road next week [April] with Reid’s Transport in Palmerston North. I’ve been selling Bevan and Tania Satherley new Kenworths for the past six years and we have a great relationship that only strengthens by being there for their aftersales issues and general help throughout the build process and logging gear fitment.”

Paid to work “Ya know, I get a sick of hearing about the driver shortage thing. As long as we have a country where people are paid to sit at home on their arse and do nothing then we’ll have a shortage everywhere. It’s our own fault. We’ve done it to ourselves.”

Bevan Satherley shakes his head in disbelief. And it’s understandable.

Young Satherley comes from a lineage of ‘give it a go,’ and ‘get stuck in and work for it people’. The Satherley name is synonymous with endeavour and self-belief that goes back to Bevan’s grandfather, Jack, and probably beyond that. There’s a fierce individuality and strong work ethic that’s entrenched in this Dannevirke surname.

“People ask me, ‘Oh, why’d you buy that for?’ Um, because I could. Because it’s my money,” says Bevan in typical dry Satherley fashion, tinged with a chuckle.

“Why not? It fits what we do. It’ll work just like any other truck, it’s a great ad for the company…and I wanted one.”

Bevan’s father was Wairarapa earthmoving identity Malcolm Satherley. Bevan has two brothers, Hayden and Toby, and first cousin Barry is well-known in the heavy haulage industry. When asked how he came to be in logging, you again get the classic Satherley reply: “We couldn’t all do earthmoving!” Legend! But then he continues, “Nah, I sort of always liked the trucks. I’d love to get one of the old man’s LWs back. Now that would be epic. I think one’s a camper somewhere. Nah, but Hayden does earthmoving, Toby log harvesting, and I’ve done the trucking.”

After driving transporters and an OE working on trucks and machines in Australia, 2004 saw the 24-year-old Satherley line up an ex-Danny Seidel (Gordon Gallagher prior to that) Kenworth T650 to put to work as a transporter. A friend then asked if he would be interested in doing a log haulage job near Bulls, and plans were diverted, the truck becoming a shorts log unit instead.

“I don’t know whether to thank him for that or not,” laughs Bevan.

After the Bulls job there was a native Rimu block in the Wairarapa and the logs had to go all the way to Mount Maunganui. Bevan needed some help and the prudence of a good business

It fits their work profile and he wanted one.

What more reason do you need? Bevan and Tania Satherley’s T900 Legend will work as hard as any other truck in the fleet

Not a bad ‘ole’ memento to have on the mantle is it?

heritage came to the fore. Bevan made a load share arrangement with Steve McDougal and it was a win-win for both parties.

“That’s one of the things I’m most proud of, our ability to work with anyone. I don’t understand why all these people want to try and piss off the big boys. We’ll work with anyone.

It’s better for everyone in the long run.

We have corporate work and private work. There’s no reason you can’t work with people rather than against them. It forces rates down and no one wins.”

The business continued to grow after the native job, with trucks being added, but Bevan cites the purchase of a brand new Mack CH in 2006 as being the truck that stood him up on his feet.

“That truck did nine hundred thousand and never had a spanner put near it.”

But Satherley’s quick to point out the two Isuzus in the fleet also. At a time when growth opportunities outstripped cashflow, Bevan and his father bought an Isuzu each. “Both those 530s are still in the fleet. They’ve never missed a beat in six hundred thousand. I mean, if money was no object you’d have a

yard of 659s [Kenworth T659s). They’re a simple, unbreakable truck, but from a business point of view the Japanese gear is tough to beat.”

In 2013 Bevan and Tania established their own logging crew working for Forest Owner Marketing Services, specialising in wood lot harvesting.

“I like the logging. I think every truck owner should have a logging gang and every logging gang should run a truck. They’re two totally different things, and both parties need a better understanding of each other’s needs.

We run the stocks high at the gang to provide continuity for any glitches in the trucking operations.”

Today the Satherley Logging business runs 17 trucks and the logging crew and both Bevan and wife Tania say they have great staff in the business currently. Tania runs the day-today administration and keeps the incomings and outgoings coming in and going out, and Bevan’s quick to acknowledge the role she plays in the business’ success. Dean Jones runs the trucking operation from the company site on Pakowhai Road in Napier and Bevan rates the value he brings to the business highly also, saying Dean does a great job for them.

Like any business they’ve weathered some tough times and the Satherley traits of prudence and resourcefulness have always seen them through.

As for the future? It’s keep on keeping on, and although he’d rather little Emma didn’t get into logging or trucking, in true Satherley style Bevan says, “She’ll do what she wants I guess.”

Doing just that is a very a Satherley thing.

Were there any disappointments?

Yes, can you believe that? It’s only sentimental though. Turn the key on this ten-and-a-half tonne sentinel of magnificence and you’d get more testosterone in the meow of a tom cat neutered before puberty. It sounds like a Toyota Corolla starting. We know there’s technology and cleverness under the bonnet that’s hard to foil, but hey, all the good folk at Kenworth needed was a guru to hardwire the ignition into the sound system so when you turned the key an MP3 file burst into life with the sound of a dirty old NTC big cam winding over and it would have been nirvana. After all, the rest of the truck is essentially a mask, so what’s one more.

Summary

And after all that, this is also a celebration of a realisation. A realisation that looks do matter and not everything from the past is obsolete. Put a new heart and soul in an old hero and not only will the accountant, the driver and the owner be happy, but also the sound of that flute may yet again be heard resonating through the playgrounds and boring workplaces of our nation, calling a new legion of disciples to an eternal classic. 

Dedication This feature is dedicated to our own John Murphy. One of the goals he set last year was to be here for the test of Bevan and Tania’s T900 Legend. Murph loved all the tests he did but log truck tests had a special place in his heart. One of the ones he always talked about was the Satherley T659 with Lance Wichman, and the trip into Thunder Mountain on the Napier-Taupo Road. When Bevan rang and told John the Legend was coming he vowed to be here on the day. Sadly, we know that never happened. In an interesting twist the date we scheduled to spend with Shane and the truck was pulled forward a week to 6 April in order to synchronise with good weather.

That was six months to the day since Murph’s death. The weather was beautiful all day. Thanks Murph – Legend!

DRIVEN TO SUCCEED Welcome to the first in an ongoing series where we seek out young people in the industry with energy, drive, and goals, and a realisation that everything they need to succeed is within their reach.

David Rogers – Fuelling the passion Story by Faye Lougher and photos by Carl Kirkbeck

Anyone watching last year’s NZ Truck Driving Championship final couldn’t help but be impressed by 24-year-old David Rogers, who collected the EROAD NZ Young Truck Driver of the Year title.

B

orn and bred in Taupiri in the Waikato, David says he has always been interested in operating machinery, not just trucks.

“That’s how I started off, just an interest in machinery. I started getting my truck licences while I was still at school because I got my learners when the age was still 15. I had class 4 by the time I left school and I got my class 5 soon after, so by the time I was 19 I was out there able to drive truck and trailers.

“I started as a digger operator at Perry Aggregates. Then I drove a little diesel tanker at K & L Distributors. Then they grew and I started driving a bulk tanker, an ex-Waitomo V8 Mitsi.

“I thought, ‘this isn’t too bad actually, the old trucking game, I might go and do it full time!’ I later moved to Tranzliquid, and I’ve been with them three years now.”

Based in Morrinsville, David covers the greater North Island.

“Auckland is my main run, but I go all the way up to the Paihia, Kerikeri area, and all the way down to Taranaki, New Plymouth. I cover a pretty big area and work for all the oil companies. It’s a pretty full-on job.”

36

New Zealand Trucking

David says he entered the NZ Truck Driving Championship for the first time in 2016 to test his knowledge and skills.

“I suppose it’s a case of experience. I had a couple of minor issues with a turntable – nothing we couldn’t handle this year obviously. I found the driving competition really good, because you don’t go out and revise the road code or your loading or everything every day, and being in the fuel industry, you sort of lose touch with the whole load restraint type of thing and all the rest of it. The competition keeps you aware of what’s going on in the industry.”

Last year’s overall winner, Simon Reid, now has David eyeing up his crown.

“I plan on entering again this year because I want to win the whole thing! The young fellas need to be stepping up. The old ones have to give it up at some stage. It’s like anything, I’ll have to give it up one day!”

David says his employers were thrilled at his win, which came on top of Tranzliquid’s Jackie Carroll taking out the NZ Outstanding Contribution to Health & Safety Award the same night.

“They were absolutely rapt and they still talk about it. My family were as stoked as too. Mum and Dad attended the awards and they thought it was awesome. I suppose it is a pretty cool award to win.”

It soon becomes clear just how much effort David put into winning the championship.

“I WORKED PRETTY HARD at it, I spent hours and hours studying. If I had a spare hour of the day I’d set up some cones and have a bit of a play around in the truck, just to tune myself up a bit. I definitely turned up wanting to have a good crack at it!

David Rogers is a true believer in the industry he loves, saying it will deliver whatever it is you want if you’re willing to put energy and enthusiasm into it.

From left: Morrinsville-based David Rogers busy in the course of a normal day. He can be seen delivering fuel anywhere between the far north and Taranaki.

“I couldn’t really believe it when they said I’d won because there were a lot of good guys who turned up on the day. I know I struggled in some areas but obviously it was enough to get me through and I was blown away by it.”

With the average age of a truck driver in New Zealand well north of 50, David feels the Truck Driving Championship is a great initiative.

“I enjoyed seeing a lot more younger faces and some women turning up and having a go – that was absolutely fantastic and I think it’s something that really needs to be encouraged. I enjoyed the way it was run last year, it was well organised and it was good fun, they kept it interesting for the drivers. It was a great time spent with other drivers and you meet some great people.”

David secured his own transport service licence last year, just before the VDAM rule changed, meaning he had to learn all the new requirements for the competition.

“Everything changes in the industry all the time, and it keeps you up to date and alert with what’s going on. It’s not just about the driving, it’s about the industry as a whole, which I found quite interesting.

“I suppose that’s what makes a transport operator at the end of the day, knowing what’s going on in the industry in all aspects, not just driving. Anyone who’s in the industry will know it’s more than just driving a truck – every driver runs a small office out of their truck.”

David doesn’t like the term ‘truck driver’, preferring transport operator instead.

“That’s what we are, we’re transport operators, and I reckon that’s a great term, it’s one my bosses use because it keeps everyone feeling professional. You want to go out and be an operator – no one wants to be just a driver. It’s just a change of attitude, isn’t it?”

He says a good transport operator always wants to present a professional image on when on the road.

“A good attitude that I picked up from a conference with Jeff Fleury was just because you’re in the right – which a lot of drivers are – it doesn’t necessarily make your next move right.

If someone cuts you off or whatever, sometimes you’ve just got to let these things go. Let it go and be done with it. It can’t affect your whole day, otherwise you’ll go about things in a non-professional manner.”

As expected, David has a passion for the industry and says you won’t get far without it.

“You’ve got to want to do it, and if you not interested in

representing your industry well you’ll never succeed at it. It’s like anything in life, if you want to do a good job at something you will. If you’re not interested, you won’t.”

David says there has traditionally been a huge push to get school leavers into university rather than vocational training.

“I said, ‘stuff that, I’m not going to uni, I’m not interested’.

I didn’t know what I wanted to do, all I knew was I wanted to operate machinery of some description. Schools really need to stop dumbing down these industries, that’s half the problem I think. There are a lot of us out there who probably do a lot better in the transport industry than those at school who have gone to uni and got huge student loans.”

David says there should be an easier way to help potential drivers who find it hard to find the money to gain their truck licences.

“People say it’s dear, but if you compare the cost it’s actually not, and the return on it is far greater if you want it. To get a student loan is relatively easy, but finding $5000 to sit your licences isn’t. And paying back $5000 is a lot easier than paying back $80,000-odd.”

IN HIS SHORT TIME in the transport industry, David says he’s seen the effect hard work and determination has had on his life and that of his partner, Greta Campbell.

“It’s a good industry where you can do well. At 24 years old, being able to buy my first house, it’s a pretty big bloody thing to do, but working hard in the transport industry has got me there. I don’t know many people my age who have managed to achieve all of this, but the transport industry, its sheer number of opportunities, and wanting to do well in it, that’s what’s got me there.”

David says it’s important to realise that every job has the potential to further your career.

“Just because one boss – and I’m not talking about my own experience because I’ve had some fantastic bosses, every company I’ve worked for has been bloody fantastic – but just because one person might not be recognising you, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be working hard for them, because someone will recognise it along the way. They’ll go, ‘well, that’s a prick of a job they’re doing well there, we should offer them a job’. That’s been part of my success, I think, I’ve worked hard for all the companies I’ve worked for and it’s been recognised along the way by other operators.”

David says the transport industry is like a family and it has a

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ lot to be proud of.

“Greta has turned up to these events and been made to feel welcome without people necessarily even knowing who she is, which is great. The reception from people in the transport industry, well, most people are just out to help you. So when you look at transport from that side, the people in it are bloody good people, and there are a lot of fantastic operators out there too.”

Experiencing this has inspired Greta to move into the industry too.

“She’s recently started a job with Waikato Fuels, working in the office there, and she’s going to be doing a bit of relief driving and get her class licences. She’s seen other girls doing it and thought, ‘I’ve always wanted to do something like this and if they can do it, I can too.’”

David says having Greta’s support is vital to his success.

“She makes sure I’m always looked after and I’ve got my lunch before I go. It’s not so painful getting up at 2 o’clock in the morning to go get in a truck. You’ve got to have a bit of backing because it’s not an easy game to be in, but a bit of backing keeps you enthusiastic, and keeps you enjoying it too.”

Realising the importance of a good work-life balance, David says he loves going water-skiing and fishing on the Waikato River whenever he has time – time that may not be so plentiful soon.

“I’m getting into a bit of driver training this year, training new operators who come into the company, so that will be a pretty exciting and challenging thing to get into.”

David says he will continue to enjoy the transport industry,

Like his employer Tranzliquid, David’s not a fan of the label ‘truck driver’, believing the phrase ‘transport operator’ better reflects the complexities of the job and helps instil a greater sense of pride.

taking advantage of opportunities as they come along.

“One day I wouldn’t mind getting into doing something for myself, it could be quite a few years away, but we’ll work towards it. I wouldn’t mind maybe one day getting a digger and a truck of my own and working around the Waikato area. You’ve always got to want to better yourself, so if the opportunity turns up to do something for myself, I would do it. You have to look at things as they come, I guess, and keep your mind open. Don’t necessarily jump at an opportunity just because it sounds all right, take the right opportunities.

That’s one thing about the transport industry, it’s not short of opportunities.” 

Steve Reid

Steve Reid had just ended his working day when Faye Lougher caught up with him in Whakatane.

Driving a 2008 Western Star 4964 FX with an 18-speed Roadranger, Steve said his work for Wilson Bros Earthmovers Ltd of Opotiki was mostly forestry construction.

“Road construction mainly, based out of Swaps quarry in Awakeri and working in the Tarawera Forest.”

Steve has been driving for about 40-odd years and has been with Wilson Bros for 19 years. He says he enjoys being out and about as a driver.

“No two things are the same and you get out in the wider country. The only downside is the loonies on the road who haven’t learned about trucks. Dickheads on the road get more and more publicity but people still don’t learn.”

Bandying around a few vexing questions saw Steve go for rugby over soccer and fresh fish over shellfish.

Glenn Boutherway

Ken Bell recently caught up with Glenn Boutherway at Crawford’s gravel pit at Edendale in Southland. Glenn has worked for McNeill Distribution at their Kennington base near Invercargill for about two and a half years. He has recently taken charge of a new Isuzu CYH530 8x4 bulk tipper and matching 5-axle trailer. The unit has replaced a Hino with a bi-fold set up.

Previously Glenn worked on a dairy farm in Southland after working as a storeman at STL Linehaul in Christchurch before that, and comes from a family with strong trucking ties.

The best part about his current job is that it’s five days a week and he’s home most nights, allowing him plenty of family time. Another real highlight was getting a complete new rig and the learning along the way that comes with taking on a new role. He enjoys the variety and carts all types of bulk materials including woodchip, bark, garden supplies, and concrete aggregate.

Roy Boothey’s association with Volvo trucks began 36 years ago when he first sat behind the wheel of a Volvo F86 on a farm in the Williams area of the Western Australian wheat belt. After 20 years on the farm, Roy joined the Derek Murray team in 2001 and has stayed there ever since. During this time he has progressed up through the big banger range of Volvos from the 520, to a 610, a 580, right up to his current 600, which was the first new generation FH to join the fleet. A brief stint in a Kenworth K104 didn’t impress him and he says, “Volvo is the only truck to drive”.

GOOD ON YA MATE

Road brother

A

iomanu Dean Tuliau (Deano) sent us this message about his mate and mentor Bruce ‘Goose’ Turnbull. We’ll let Deano tell the story.

“I met Goose about three years ago, I was Class 4 and Goose an old school Class 5 trucker, never short of a comment whatever the subject. I was fortunate enough to be given an opportunity by my boss at the time to sit my Class 5, and looking back, it was then Goose took charge, sharing his knowledge and mentoring me behind the wheel. Although Goose and I are same age, he had been taught with old school values; in the transport industry since he was in nappies from what I’ve heard.

“We parted ways about eight months into my Class 5 driving, but over the next three years I’d get a phone call from Goose every now and then. He would just say, ‘Gidday mate how ya goin’?’ We would yarn for a bit, and he would always ask, ‘Everything going ok?’

“One day I was backing my truck and trailer into a very tight driveway which veered slightly right with small steel poles on both sides. I’d had my Class 5 licence for 12 months at that stage and my backing skills weren’t that great, but I remembered Goose always said, ‘Slow and steady’. As I was backing up I didn’t know I had caught my toolbox on one of the steel poles, ripping it half off (what a mess ‘LOL’). At that moment my phone went off, and all I heard was, ‘You ok driver? What’s going on there?’ It was Goose. He had spotted me from a distance and said he could see I had my truck on the wrong angle and knew I was ‘knee deep in it’. By that stage I was a mess. I was relief driving and had ripped the toolbox half off. It was beyond repair. With it sorted, I carried on with the rest of my shift.

Later that night sitting at home feeling sorry for myself my phone rang, and yep, you guessed it, “Goose! How are ya?”

I told him I was thinking of chucking it in. He said to me,

Bruce ‘Goose’ Turnbull. Mate and mentor. RIP.

‘Mate, shit happens, you need to learn from it, that’s how we become better drivers. Tomorrow you will get out of friggin’ bed and get your arse back in that seat. Slow and steady. If you start to panic then remember this voice in your head with these words: ‘Calm the **** down.’

“Three years after that phone call, and I’m still turning a wheel. Sadly, in January this year my mentor, the guy who always knew when to ring, the road brother that we all have, the one we ring when we need to know something, sadly passed away.

“Bruce Turnbull a.k.a. Goose.

“Forever grateful for his knowledge and mentoring behind the wheel.

“Rest in peace my road brother.” 

entral Machine Hire Ltd is a long-standing locally owned Central Otago company that started back in 1973 with one bulldozer, working around the region on local high country farms.

Excavators were added to cover an increasing workload that included the Cardrona Ski Field road, ongoing construction work between Hawea and Makarora on SH6 (Haast road), and the Tarras irrigation scheme. A 1974 R-Model Mack was also purchased from North Otago Road Metals of Oamaru to tow a transporter. It was one of three that were brought in from the United States by the original owners, and it still works for Central Machine Hire today.

Due to the reliability of the R-Model, and the building boom in the 1990s, Central Machine Hire purchased another two Macks for tipping work. This was still just the tip of the iceberg though, as a quarry operation has since been added, along with more trucks and machinery as the workload increased.

The need for bigger trucks with more capacity was evident, so two new Macks were recently added to the fleet, one for tipper work and the other for heavy haulage, and it’s the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ transporter that graces this month’s Top Truck poster.

A 6x4 Mack Trident with set-forward front axle and an MP8 535 horsepower engine, the truck’s work requirements meant the management at Central specced a manual Eaton 18-speed overdrive transmission with forward gear ratios from 14.40:1 to 0.73:1. Out the back are Meritor RT46-160 GP differentials with a capacity of 20,800kg (46,000lb). The truck also has a compensating and sliding fifth wheel installed by Garry Douglas Engineering.

Barry (Arnie) Arnesen has been with the company for four and a half years and was been behind the wheel of a 2002 CH Mack that he kept in immaculate condition. Arnie was asked what he would like on his new truck and came back with a list as long as your arm, so the following extras were fitted – tinted windows, dual toolboxes, stainless rear guards, alloy decking, mirror finish wheels, and a custom-made sun visor.

The Mack Trident, named ‘Silver Bullet’, works mainly in the Central Otago area but if the occasion calls for it the truck can be spotted travelling further afield.

Jason Winder from Central Machine Hire says, “I guess you can say we bought the Mack Trident for Arnie. He is an awesome operator and is very proud of his Mack. We know she will be looked after for many years to come and will be seen at a lot of shows going forward.” 

Driver Barry Arnesen is impressed with his new ride.

Its body was buit by the P. & T. workshops in Wellington. It cost £975 ($92,720 today). The location of the muffler is interesting, so too is the fitting of pneumatic tyres on the front and solids on the rear. Determining how much the annual licence fee for this was must have been interesting as the Motor Vehicles Act of 1924 shows an annual

The sliding window in the rear of the cab was a feature of these types of trucks. Two of the shear legs would have pivoted off the brackets at either end of the rear cross member. Note the trailer coupling.

Poles ahead From the early days the Post & Telegraph Department were also responsible for the growing telegraph network.

Many miles of copper wire were strung between telegraph poles; you only have to look at photographs taken at the time is see how much weight these poles were carrying. The poles were set in holes that were dug by hand, and were lifted into place by a truckmounted winch and shear legs. Although hand-digging

of holes was replaced by truck- and tractor-mounted mechanical post-hole borers, the method of lifting poles using shear legs was still in use during the 1970s, until truck-mounted knuckle-boom cranes become available.

Many power companies also used shear legs to place their power poles. When telephone cables were moved underground, truck-mounted winches were used to pull the cables through the buried ducting. 

WOMEN IN TRANSPORT

Born to DELIVER Story and photos by Faye Lougher

At the moment Leah Gattsche is responsible for delivering fertiliser for Shannon Bulk Haulage, but one day she hopes to be delivering babies instead!

L

eah’s parents, Brian and Janelle Gattsche, own Shannon Bulk Haulage in the Horowhenua. Janelle says Brian has been a truck driver since he was 17.

He got his his own truck at 21 and was contracted to Kevey’s Transport under Opiki Linehaul, while at the same time carting spuds for the family farm in Opiki. He merged with Bulk Spreading Co Ltd in Shannon in the late 90s (at the time owned by Janelle’s parents, Mel and Claudia

54

Eveleigh) to form SBH. Brian and Janelle purchased the business outright in 2013.

Leah went to work for SBH in October last year, and her parents encouraged her to get her class 2 truck licence, which she passed in December “When I was younger I enjoyed being with dad and getting to see everything, and I thought I would become a truck driver,” says Leah.

However, when she left school four years ago at the age of 17, she went to Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre in Masterton to study dairy farming.

“I was drawn to the rural study because I loved the outdoors,” says Leah. “The course was one year long and I stayed in Masterton at the campus.”

When the course finished Leah went and worked on a dairy and goat farm at Opiki in the Manawatu, but decided to move

on after about three years. She says while in her teens her goal had been to work on a dairy farm, she soon realised she wanted more variety.

“I started looking for other jobs, but then the opportunity came up to work here [Shannon Bulk Haulage] and because transport has always been in my life it seemed like a good choice.

“While truck driving I am also currently studying to become a midwife. I’m in my first year and I have to do a year-long health science course before I can apply to train as a midwife, which will take three years of study. I’m doing it extramurally but I go to Wellington every couple of months for a block course.

“Truck driving is always something I know I will be able to come back to at any time and I can do it part-time for the next four years while I am studying.”

With her class 2 licence under her belt, Leah now drives a 2006 Hino GT. She does spreading and quarry work, as well as loading trucks and undertaking other duties. She enjoys the spreading, saying it reminds her of her time spent working with dairy cows.

“Some people just sit in their office – I’m in a truck and seeing different sights of the countryside all the time. It’s beautiful really. A typical day for me involves checking over the truck before I get in and sort out the day’s plan. I go to the bulk store in Shannon and load it with fertiliser and then go to a farm and spread it.”

Leah has packed a lot into her 21 years and says she finds driving a spreading truck a lot of fun.

“I was quite scared to start with but I like knowing I’m capable of driving something that’s quite big on the road. Some people have known me since I was little and when I turn up

in the truck they go, ‘you drive that? Whoa!’ A lot of people are quite surprised.”

Leah may be slightly built, but she is quick to point out that any female could do the work she does.

“It can be challenging learning to drive the truck properly and fitting in tiny gates and trying to tarp the truck properly – my arms are quite weak! You can do it, it just takes a bit more time and effort and patience.

“I think women are a lot more cautious and a lot more aware of what’s going on, like the weather conditions. If it starts raining then the paddocks can be wet and it becomes slippery so you take more time.”

What with her job and study, Leah doesn’t get a lot of time to herself, but when she does manage to find some free time she plays indoor netball and spends time with her Rottweiler, Sarge.

“I also make time for friends and family amongst all that as I think that’s important.”

The next exciting step for Leah will be her Class 4 licence which she’s due to go for at about the time this issue hits the shelves. 

WELLINGTON

– A great tradition rolls on Story and Photos by Faye Lougher

Wellington Truck Shows in those halcyon days of the 90s were always not-to-be-missed affairs.

The new generation appears to picking up where the shows of old left off, with a great turn out, great support, and a great atmosphere.

C

lose to 150 trucks turned up for the biennial Great Wellington Truck and Transport Show in Trentham this year.

Lions Club organiser Greg Perkins says about 100 left Seaview with the convoy, and a further 40 to 50 were already on display at Trentham Memorial Park.

58

New Zealand Trucking

June 2018

Run by the Lions, this is the fourth show organised, but the third held, as a cyclone put paid to the very first show.

Perkins said this year’s show had been fantastic, but it would not have been possible without all the support from sponsors.

“It costs us about $5000 to $6000 in costs to put on the show, and Shane and Georgie Grey of Quality Demolition gave us $5000. I’d also like to thank Spik N Span Toilets, the RTANZ, Aggreko for the generators, Darren Jackson for the catering, and Wellington Rifles for putting on a great display.”

All money raised on the day goes to Life Flight. While the amount raised had not yet been finalised, it was expected to exceed the previous show’s total.

“100% of the money we raise goes to Life Flight,” said Perkins. “The only other charity supported is Camp Quality, and money they raise from their bouncy castle goes to support children with cancer.”

As Perkins is moving down south, Silverstream Lions Club president Greg Fouhy will take over the reins for the 2020 show. 

A

fter Charmaine (Charm) Dupre bought the old Ohingaiti pub last year she quickly set about getting it back in shape and turning it into Charm’s B&B & Truck Stop Diner.

Charm had been farming for eight years in Wanganui with her husband, but when he died three years ago she found it difficult finding work there.

“Then I saw this business advertised on Trade Me, and as it was a home and income, I jumped at it. It was a bit of a mess and it took a LOT of hard cleaning but I opened on Friday 13 October.”

Charm’s B&B & Truck Stop Diner is open seven days a week, offering takeaway or dine-in food and drinks. Charm has installed a CB unit, allowing drivers to call ahead and order their meals. Accommodation is available for $75 a night including a continental breakfast – cooked breakfasts are extra.

Passing drivers and those who are sleeping in their trucks can use the showers for a small cost, and Charm also offers massage therapy.

The diner has off-road parking for trucks and Charm is working on providing a larger parking area. She also plans to set aside three walls in the dining area where owners and drivers can put up photos of their trucks or fleets.

Charm’s B&B & Truck Stop Diner is open from 5am to 10pm Monday to Friday, 5am to 9pm Saturdays and 10am to 2pm Sundays. 

perception Story and photos by David Kinch

Murihiku Haulage Ltd is a small four-truck operation with an extremely large presence, led by this imposing K200 Kenworth.

T

hese days the K200 Kenworth is a common sight on our roads, so to make one stand out in a crowd you need some help along the way.

Scott Hutton, owner of Murihiku Haulage Limited, explains how the company came about. “I was managing a farm and I had a livestock agent by the name of George Kelly standing beside me. We were watching a livestock truck unloading ewes and lambs and he turned to me and said, ‘Why don’t you look at getting your own livestock unit?’ So I sold my Mainfreight run and bought an ex-Gordon Scania and haven’t looked back.”

Scott purchased the K200 Kenworth in 2017 through Steve Herring, Southpac Trucks’ salesman in Christchurch. Scott says of Steve: “He’s not just a salesman, he’s a one-of-a kind guy and his passion for the Kenworth brand is something else.”

The Kenworth was taken to Chris Stanley at Custom Truck and Chrome Limited in Auckland. Chris worked his magic and added some custom grille mesh with 10 grille bars, stainless step infills, LED light bars to the fuel tanks, and a stainless mudguard flare. Peterbilt bullet lights were added to the roof, along with an old school dovetail roof spoiler and mushroom cap intakes.

Jackson Enterprises in Pahiatua built the deck and 5-axle trailer, with Delta Stock Crates in Feilding adding the stock crates to the unit.

Last but not least the truck was given to Cliff Mannington at Truck Signs in Tauranga to add his special touches. Cliff created a tribute to Scott’s grandfather, Eddie Hutton, which adorns the driver’s side of the Aerodyne sleeper. This is a man whom Scott considers a legend. Eddie drove cattle by horseback, with a team of dogs, from the Hutton holding paddocks in Edendale to the freezing works in Mataura and Balclutha.

Cliff travelled to Dunedin to finish the job, adding his touches to the trailer.

The big Kenworth runs a Cummins e5 engine, pumping out 458kW (615hp) with an 18-speed Roadranger transmission.

Aside from its stock duties the Kenworth also had a season carting milk around the bottom half of the South Island, which often included a run from Ranfurly to Edendale.

Scott couldn’t be happier with his truck and would like to thank everyone involved in making ‘Black Perception’ one of the sharpest rigs in the country. 

INTERNATIONAL TRUCK STOP

King of the

LOAD Story and photos by Niels Jansen

‘Cans’ are the go-to for the bulk of freight moved around the globe.

T

he Port of Rotterdam is the gateway to continental Europe. From old it has been of great importance to the economy, but the more so since the first container shipments began in the mid-1960s. The method of packing goods in a steel box conquered the world and in 1966 this led to the start of the Europe Container Terminals (ECT) in Rotterdam.

In the first year just under 10,000 containers were handled, but three years later that number was already over 100,000.

After signing an important contract with Sea-Land in 1988, the huge Delta Terminal was constructed directly on the North

68

Sea shore. By this time a new in-port transportation system was commissioned that consisted of a heavy-duty truck-tractor that pulled a nearly 100-metre long rubber tyred train. ECT called it the Multi Trailer System (MTS) or Trolley System.

Because a customary terminal tractor could not handle the 250 to 300 tonnes gross loads, ECT drew up a tender for a custom-built truck-tractor with 6x4 drive and at least a 298kW (400hp) diesel engine coupled to an automatic transmission. In 1979 ECT asked DAF, Mercedes/Titan, and truck and trailer manufacturer Floor to each build a prototype that could be tested in real working conditions as part of their bids for the lucrative order. At the time, the Floor Truck Company had just introduced the Second Generation Motor Panels cab on their FTF chassis.

A large number of drawbar skeletal trailers were also needed and the first 4-wheel steer units were developed and built by

DAF. Subsequent orders, however, went to Dutch machinery manufacturer Buiscar of Apeldoorn. This firm had a great tradition in the building of carts and trolleys for internal transport. The system that initially was developed for ECT but later also became commercially available, consisted of a train with seven to 10 coupled trailers pulled by a heavy-duty prime mover. All trailers were self-tracking and braking and could be coupled automatically without the driver leaving the cab. The set up was developed primarily to save time, an important focus in container handling.

In 1980 Floor received the order to build two trucks to be tested in real working conditions. The 6x4 drive model FD-8.20D1 tractor was equipped with a two-stroke 8V92TA Detroit Diesel with blower and turbo that transferred the power via a 4-stage Allison HT750DRD automatic transmission to a GKN-Kirkstall rear tandem. According to the specification sheet the V8 Detroit turned out 343kW (461hp), but in the case of the ECT tractors this was turned

The Detroit powered 6x4 prime movers were designed to pull container trains of up to 300 tonnes.

back to 308kW (414 hp), which was done to prevent the FTF losing grip when moving off loaded in wet conditions. Empty the rig was limited to 30kph, and at weights over 150 tonnes to 20kph.

Test drives with the very first Multi Trailer Train were staged at Rotterdam Airport. After these trials had proved successful a deal was closed with Floor in 1985 to supply 15 new model FD-8.20D1 truck-tractors for operation at the just-opened Delta Terminal. The FTFs performed so well that three years later a follow-up order was placed for five more vehicles. These did not feature Kirkstall axles at the rear, but Kessler products.

Because worldwide containerisation was on the up, between 1991 and 1994 another batch of FTF tractors joined the port fleet. These tractors sported some cosmetic changes such as a new grille. Including the original prototypes, Floor built 40 units for the ECT. All vehicles were fitted with a sturdy ballast box that held two blocks of concrete weighing 14 tonnes total.

They also sported a heavy-duty front bumper, a special drawbar coupling, and a strong steel cage above and behind the cab for protection. The word goes that at least one FTF tractor was completely written off when a loaded container fell from a quay crane. Only four of the famous FTFs survived. One is sitting idle in the Port of Abu Dhabi, a second is in the hands of a Belgian truck collector, and the other two form part of the FTF Museum owned by Ton Spaansen in ‘t Zand, the Netherlands.

Ton’s interest in the Floor products goes back to 1973 when the family firm bought an FTF truck and trailer to transport sand, bricks, shells and building materials.

“At the age of 25 I drove the rig each day to Belgium on a 1000-kilometre return trip hauling mine stone,” says 71-yearold Ton. “I just loved it! Notably the sound of the screaming V8 Detroit when it had to tackle a hill made a big impression on me. Three years later we bought another FTF tandem truck, but because I was asked to fill a different role in the business my family not long after decided to sell it again. Some 19 years later I ran by chance into this very truck and I bought it right back. This was also the start of my hobby, restoring

70

old commercial vehicles. Some years later my wife Ans and I founded the FTF Club, and in 2006 the FTF Museum.’’

The real eye-catchers in the museum are the two ex-ECT tractors and a huge FTF off-highway dump truck that once operated at a nearby steel mill.

“It was not easy to obtain these rare beasts,’’ says Ton. “Both companies are world players and all communications with them go over many desks. And you need some luck too. In 2003 we heard that the ECT wanted to do away with nearly all their container tractors and we were lucky to get unit number 940.

This was not only the last tractor that the ECT had purchased from Floor, but also the last FTF built before the truck maker shut its doors for good in 1994.’’

This truck is shown in the museum ‘as found’. When ECT’s last working FTF (unit number 936) was put out of service in 2008, the museum managed to obtain this too. In recent years it was refurbished in part by Ton with the help of mechanic Klaas Poutsma, although some panel work to the ballast box, as well as sandblasting and spraying the complete vehicle, was contracted to a professional body shop.

The intention is to take the rare FTF also out to classic truck meets, but this is easier said than done with a top speed of only 30 kph.

After the FTF era ECT turned to Belgian specialist truck and trailer manufacturer MOL Cy in Hooglede. MOL was well known as a producer of terminal and ro-ro (roll-on roll-off ) tractors. When the ECT asked them to develop a completely new multi-trailer tractor they came up with the 4x4 drive TG280. This purpose-built vehicle was equipped with a (320kW) 430hp 6-cylinder 12.6-litre DAF diesel engine that was coupled to an Allison HD4060 automatic transmission and a Steyr VG 2001 transfer box. Axles were Kessler with front and rear capacities of 16 and 25 tonnes respectively. The F230 cab was also sourced from DAF. Later versions of this sturdy compact worker have a Renault or Iveco cab fitted and engine options are now Cummins, Iveco, and Volvo diesels. The full automatic trailer coupling is retained in the MOL TG280 tractors. ECT bought several dozen of these terminal tractors that can pull container trains of up to seven trailers with a maximum gross weight of 350 tonnes. But no matter how good they are, the MOL tractors cannot match the sound that a screaming V8 Detroit makes under full power! 

new Actros 2658 when it arrived. So in the middle of one of the hottest Victorian summers on record, we dropped in to see how the new Actros was travelling.

The overall stance of the Actros is dynamic, muscular, and finished with four roof-mounted driving lights. Centre stage on the imposing grille is the three-pointed star.

Paul and MBAAT owner Evan Lowing can testify that the new aerodynamic design and the overall efficiency have improved fuel economy significantly over the previous model.

Under the cabin is the all-new OM473 16-litre in-line 6-cylinder engine, and getting the 425kW (580hp) and 2800Nm (2065lb/ft) to the back wheels is the Mercedes-Benz G281 PowerShift 3 automated manual transmission, a direct drive 12-speed.

2.533:1 in order to optimise fuel economy.

“Once we had some instruction on how to set up the Actros’ EcoRoll function to operate through its maximum parameters, we really started noticing huge fuel economy gains,” Paul explained.

On a run up the Hume Freeway in the new MBAAT 2658 Actros, the overall trip statistics were 61 tonne GCM, with an average of 2.2km/l over 826km in 9.33 hours with an average speed of 87km/h.

While the results validate the Mercedes-Benz information on economy and efficiency, the real lesson is brings home according to Paul is the importance of driver training as each engine and driveline from each manufacturer have particular peculiarities.

“Firstly, driving economically does not penalise trip times,” Evan explained. “Secondly, we’re saving approximately 0.4km/l in fuel compared with our older truck, which roughly translates to saving half the truck’s payment in fuel costs per month.” 

BUSINESS PROFILE

Blackwells Isuzu Blackwells’ parts manager Wayne Mclellan says when the earthquake struck Christchurch back in 2011, their passenger dealerships were caught right in the centre of the red zone.

“U Blackwells can accommodate the entire commercial requirement from new vehicle sales and support to chassis straightening, fixing up those who have had a bad day, and painting.

nable to continue trading at those locations, operations were relocated to the commercial centre out in Sockburn. For six years the commercial side of the business worked alongside the car businesses and surrendered precious space to help the group survive the ordeal. Once the company re-established itself in the city, the focus turned to restoring the Sockburn facility back into the class leading commercial centre it once was.”

Wayne says the main building has been upgraded to once again accommodate the sales, service and parts departments under one roof, and new signage and the new Isuzu corporate identity was introduced.

“Over the past few years Isuzu have been instrumental about bringing a number one selling product to market and now are focusing on the aftersales side of the business to support their number one status.”

Wayne says that Melbourne was selected by Isuzu Japan as the site for the newly established Australasian Isuzu parts hub. With improved parts lead times, training and a range of products not previously accessible to New Zealand, the timing could not have been more perfect for Blackwells.

“Our parts department interpreters travelled to Auckland to attend a parts training course for what was thought to be a basic overview of the Isuzu parts system. Instead, what was delivered was an in-depth look into the workings of the

Blackwells’ revamped site presents as a modern professional commercial vehicle operation.

– out of the ashes modern truck and the importance of genuine parts and oils.

“Most smart fleet operators have realised over the years that fitment of aftermarket parts and oils never results in the savings they first envisioned. For example, using the incorrect oil can cause premature failure of a DPD filtration system.”

The Isuzu product has been the number one seller for the past 18 years and with good reason, and Blackwells has grown its sales team to cater for the ever-increasing enquiry and demand for the Isuzu product.

“Not only can Blackwells supply new trucks, we also have a large range of handpicked Japanese domestic models. If we don’t have a particular spec of vehicle for your needs, we can either have one built or find an appropriate Japanese Isuzu model to order and import.”

Terry Blair heads up the commercial workshop. Wayne says with a military background as well as commercial sector experience, this combination leads to a smooth-running operation.

“Terry was instrumental in setting up our COF lane to further increase efficiencies in customer service. The truck shop runs both day and night shifts to allow customers to drop their vehicles off at night and pick them up first thing in the

morning. The workshop does have a small fleet of loan vehicles for this purpose. It has become very popular and the down time for the rig is further reduced. The added ability to have a COF done at night means the truck can be back working much sooner.”

Wayne says Blackwells can also boast of having some of the best Isuzu technicians in New Zealand. Competing annually in the Tech Guild Competition, team members have done well, with five and six team members respectively in the top 10 places in the country over the past two years.

“In that period two had been chosen (one member twice) to represent New Zealand at the Isuzu World Technician Championships in Japan, where in the first year they reached a very respectable third placing. The company is committed to ongoing training for all staff in every part of the business – service, sales and parts.”

On site Kevin Braid and his team operate a commercial paint and panel shop with a truck-sized chassis plant to straighten those jack-knifed trailers or bent front ends back into shape.

The paint shop has a full-sized spray booth large enough to accommodate a 45-seater coach and can also custom paint your truck to reflect your business identity on site.

“Recently we hosted a group of insurance brokers and explained the processes that occur when a damaged truck enters the shop and the role each department plays to get the truck back on the road. It was very well received by the attendees, who left with a much greater appreciation and understanding of why a typical commercial vehicle repair takes a little longer than that of a passenger vehicle.”

W

ith the change in season and cooler temperatures come the ever-dreaded colds and flus. This is the time to ensure you are really taking care of yourself, focusing on eating healthy, exercising, and staying hydrated.

Here are a few tips to help boost immunity and ward off those bugs: • Eat seasonal fruit and vegetables to ensure optimal nutrients and save those pennies. You should be able to have vegetables with every meal you plan.

• Increase your Vitamin C and antioxidant intake by adding foods such as citrus fruit, berries, and green leafy vegetables to smoothies.

• Drink plenty of water. Try a squeeze of lemon juice for flavour and extra Vitamin C. This is also a great way to start the morning and kick-start digestion.

• Get some fresh air and increase that heart rate. Aim for at least 30 minutes every day; rain is no excuse! 

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Reporting to WorkSafe NZ

S

omething goes wrong and a person is badly injured, we call an ambulance, we clean up the mess, and we start to pick up the pieces. But have we thought about notifying WorkSafe NZ? When should we notify them, will they know about the incident if we don’t, will we be in trouble if we notify them or if we don’t notify them? The list seems endless.

WorkSafe NZ recently issued a media release informing of the sentencing outcome regarding an organisation whose employee suffered a fractured skull and head injuries requiring surgery and a stay in hospital. WorkSafe NZ was not notified in a timely manner. When WorkSafe was informed, the organisation downplayed the injury, making it seem significantly less serious.

When a bad accident happens the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) requires that a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) who becomes aware that a notifiable event has occurred must notify WorkSafe NZ of the event in the fastest way possible, as soon as possible in the circumstances.

In this instance the organisation was fined a total of $98,156.25. This was for a charge of failing to notify WorkSafe (a maximum fine of $50,000), and for failing to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of a worker (a fine not exceeding $1,500,000).

23031 DANI1 TRUCKING AD.pdf

27/5/10

So, when something goes wrong we must consider if we should notify WorkSafe. Contact your consultant to ask their advice, look in your health and safety manual, or check the WorkSafe website for information about notifiable events.

These resources should provide you with information about the need to notify. If in doubt, and there are some grey areas, it is best to notify. And yes, WorkSafe will often know about a notifiable event even if you don’t notify them. A WorkSafe inspector told me that they are informed by ACC, they read the newspapers, and they hear things. You can notify online.

If you want to know more information you can contact Safewise or look at the WorkSafe website: www.worksafe.govt. nz. There is a lot of information about notifiable events, and you can read the full media release.  Tracey Murphy is the owner and director of Safewise Limited, a health and safety consultancy.

Making the most of the operator rating system

L

ast month I provided an overview of the Operator Rating System (ORS). I have no doubt that operators and drivers will be striving to maintain a five-star rating and with that in mind I have a few tips you can use to improve your rating. I’ll also be providing some information about the different kinds of faults and offences that will be included in the rating system. Because some of these will have a bigger impact on your rating compared with others, I will be outlining how the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has formulated their ranking system to help you identify the highest scoring faults.

How can I improve my rating?

Most of the tips on this list are common sense but they really can make a difference, so give some consideration to the following: • Keeping up a preventative maintenance programme that proactively identifies faults and fixes them straight away; • Get to know the Vehicle Inspection Requirement Manuals used at a certificate of fitness (CoF) and the Categorisation of Defects handbook used at roadside inspections; • Identify and fix faults before getting a CoF instead of using a CoF to find the faults; • Make sure service providers are aiming to pass CoF first time every time; • Do a pre-trip walk-around inspection of the vehicle and fix any faults found; • Take up any concerns about inspection results with the inspector as soon as possible; • Make sure that the correct transport service licence label is displayed in the vehicle and that you have the correct transport service number for any trailers attached at all times; • Set achievable schedules and rosters so that drivers can adhere to the speed limits and work time requirements; • Ensure that drivers understand the importance of sticking to the speed limit, taking the required breaks, and completing their log books correctly; • Make sure that drivers are appropriately licensed and trained for the type of driving they do; • Put in place a safe driving policy for your business to improve driver safety and reduce offending by addressing fatigue, distraction, speeding, and drink driving, and promoting the use of safety belts and other safety features; • Address any offending by drivers; • Keep good records of your roadside inspection results and send your transport service licence number and email address to ors@nzta.govt.nz to receive an email each time one of your vehicles has a roadside inspection; and • Sign up to the Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving NZ programme that promotes and teaches a safe and fuelefficient driving style.

What sorts of offences are included in the rating?

The focus of the ORS is road safety so any offences that will have a direct bearing on this will be rated. Administrative offences such as failing to maintain a complaints register or those that relate to road and infrastructure management, like exceeding axle weights, are not included. Failing to pay adequate road user charges for the weight of the vehicle is not directly a safety issue so it is not included in the ORS. However, be aware that loading a vehicle beyond the certificate of loading is a safety risk so this will be included.

The NZTA recognises that operators have the ability to influence their staff and that they should not facilitate or tolerate driver offending. To ensure that operators take responsibility for their employees as part of creating a workplace safety culture, operator ratings will be affected by any offences committed by their drivers.

How are faults ranked?

CoF faults are ranked based on the component that is faulty and how unsafe the vehicle becomes if that component doesn’t work properly. This is regardless of the actual nature of the fault. Therefore, any brake fault will be ranked the same whether the brake is worn, seized or contaminated. There is a number from 1 to 5 assigned to a fault; 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. Faulty brakes would rank highly, whereas missing certification doesn’t pose a high risk to safety so it is ranked low.

For roadside inspections, ranks are assigned based on the recommended action for that fault as specified in the categorisation of defects handbook used by the police and the NZTA vehicle inspectors. Unsafe or pink sticker components have a high bearing on safety so they carry a high score.

Defective or green sticker components have a moderate bearing on safety and so have a medium score. Components that are non-compliant but are not unsafe have a minor bearing on safety so they score the lowest.

Offences are scored in the ORS based on the risk to safety of the offending behaviour and range from 20 for the least safety risk to 100 for the greatest safety risk (which would include third and subsequent offences or offences involving injury or death). The types of offences that carry higher scores fall into the categories of dangerous driving, drink driving, speeding, unsafe load or vehicle, and work-time or log book offences. 

Why is employee engagement important for your business?

E

mployee engagement is an important but often overlooked part of running a business. Having highly engaged employees can help your business succeed. An engaged employee will work harder, be highly productive, and have a willingness to learn. Engaged employees also tend to stay with you for longer and are less likely to look for jobs elsewhere. While some staff are naturally motivated and engaged in their work, many more are less engaged than they could be. One step that can make the process easier is hiring the right people in the first place.

When hiring a new employee, screening for personality rather than just skills can often help you find someone who is a better fit to your business and its goals. As business owners there are steps we can take to ensure that our employees feel connected, involved and engaged in their work.

Lead by example: Employee engagement starts at the top.

Employers must demonstrate to employees the kinds of characteristics and behaviours they expect of their employees. When your manager is competent, passionate, and hardworking, then employees are much more likely to respect them and feel engaged with them. If managers are also easy to talk to and get along with, compassionate and fair, and show a genuine interest in employees, then the employees will reciprocate. Take some time to get to know your employees. Find out what their goals are and let them know that their contributions are valued.

This should not be a one-off thing either; check in with them often to see what can be done to improve their time at work.

Their feedback can be invaluable.

Provide opportunities for growth: Employees want to feel that they are putting their skills to use, pushing their limits and learning new things. Employees who feel like they are doing menial work and not learning or experiencing new things become bored quickly, and are likely to disengage from their work. Find out what your employees want to do both now and in the future, whether they feel like they are making use of

their abilities and skills, and whether they are working towards their career goals. If employees feel like they are stagnating, try to come up with a plan of action. Where possible, offer employees new challenges or specific goals to work towards, provide training and development opportunities, and offer opportunities for promotion.

Recognise and reward hard work: Appreciation is a basic human need, and we all want to be valued and recognised for our efforts, both big and small. When employees and their work are recognised, they feel satisfaction and gain a sense of achievement, which helps motivate them to work harder and be more productive. People want to be valued for their contributions as an individual or as a member of a team and not feel as if they are being used like a doormat. Remember to say please and thank you often, and praise them when they do something well.

Giving employees small gifts is another way to show appreciation. This could be something small like a card for a birthday, movie or event tickets, or treating someone to lunch or dinner. You could also take employees out for a social lunch or drinks, or to a social event, which could double as a team building exercise as it gives employees a chance to relax and get to know each other better outside of the workplace.

Create a great company culture: One of the best ways to improve employee motivation and engagement is through creating a positive working culture. If your company provides a supportive environment where employees are happy and feel valued, it can pay huge dividends. So how do you build a strong culture?

Encourage your staff to communicate: Have an opendoor policy. Employees need to be able to talk with their managers if they have a problem.

Be flexible: If an employee needs time off for personal issues, or to finish early to pick up the kids from school, then let them. That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be limits (if someone is taking excessive amounts of time off, talk to them about it), but if you are flexible with staff, then they should be

Encourage employees to take ownership of their work: People can do a task, but it doesn’t mean they will do it to the best of their ability. Employees find purpose and feel more engaged when they understand how their work directly contributes to the businesses success. Don’t micromanage their work either.

Instead, set clear expectations about the results you want, provide them with any assistance they need, and hold your employees accountable for their results. 

ROAD TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

Are you ready for an increase in road user charges?

T

he recent Government Policy Statement (GPS) that signalled a change in funding priority direction will not only result in an increase in fuel taxes, but will also surely see an increase in road user charges as well. The key for transport operators is to ensure such any increased cost to their business is not absorbed.

The Government has proposed a fuel tax increase of between 9 and 12 cents a litre alongside Auckland Council’s 11.5 cents a litre regional fuel tax in order to fund a raft of new land transport plans.

The process was quick – consultation through the Land Transport Management (Regional Fuel Tax) Amendment Bill closed at midnight on 20 April 2018.

The bill would let local councils propose a new fuel tax of up to 10 cents per litre in their region, in order to fund new transport infrastructure projects in the region. The tax would initially be available only to Auckland, becoming available to other regional councils in 2021.

This is in addition to the national increase. The good news is

that not all regions may get the chance to have a regional fuel tax like Auckland.

So what should you be doing? Hopefully you all have a clause in your contracts with customers that states any additional Government charges (including RUC increases) will be passed on by the total amount.

If you are a RTANZ member we have in the past provided you the wording you need in your contracts; hopefully you have used this. If not, you need to make your customers aware that this change is to take place, and as a result your rate will change.

We don’t know how much this RUC increase will be and whether the NZ Transport Agency will take the opportunity to change the RUC rates by different levels, depending on vehicle class. It will be important to keep a watching brief on this.

There has been some background chatter that the NZTA want to encourage more 9-axle combinations, and we may see an outcome that discourages 6- and 7-axle combinations.

Although this is only one option and may not even eventuate, the association will update you as we have information to hand, keeping you briefed on what any change means in dollar terms for you. 

ROAD TRANSPORT FORUM

RTF Conference heading down south

T

he Road Transport Forum Conference is heading down to the South Island in 2018, and for the first time since 2005 the event will be back in Dunedin.

It is exciting to again hold a conference in the deep south, and we are very much looking forward to celebrating the culture, history and innovation of the Otago region.

RTF is working closely with the Region 5 committee to really make sure that the event includes a true local flavour and shows off the best of Dunedin. We are very fortunate to have secured use of the fantastic Forsyth Barr Stadium and its lounges for the conference and we are sure that delegates will enjoy the stadium experience.

The conference, which will be held on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 September, is being arranged to include a diverse programme of sessions and speakers that will provide attendees with entertainment and practical information they can take back to their own businesses. Specific industry issues such as driver welfare and fatigue, and training and qualifications will all feature, as well as a number of more business oriented sessions, including a session on the state of the New Zealand economy with former ANZ chief economist and well-known economic commentator Cameron Bagrie.

I am very pleased that local entertainer Doug Kamo has agreed to MC the conference this year. Doug is a well-known TV personality and theatre performer who will add a lot of colour and creativity to the event. Having Doug perform MC duties will also allow me to mix and mingle with delegates a bit more, which I am thoroughly looking forward to.

It is important to us that delegates feel that they get tangible value from the conference. For this reason we have endeavoured to keep the cost of registration as low as possible to give delegates what we think is pretty unprecedented value for money, considering many other conferences are well over twice the price. We also know that people in our industry are extremely busy and taking time out and being away from their own businesses can be a huge sacrifice, which is why over the past couple of years we have condensed the conference to two days.

We are aware that having last year’s conference in November didn’t really work for much of the industry, as it was right in the middle of one of the busiest periods of the year.

Unfortunately with the election in September we were a bit hamstrung. However, this year, with no such restrictions, we have gone back to a more preferred September timeslot.

We have also purposely run the conference right up against the Road Transport Hall of Fame Dinner being held in Invercargill on the evening of 28 September. The intention is to give people the opportunity to ‘kill two birds with one stone’ and carry on further south to the Hall of Fame after our conference wraps up. In fact, we will be putting on some transport on the Friday morning from Dunedin to Invercargill and back to help facilitate this, which is all part of the registration options available.

The final of the 2018 New Zealand Truck Driving Championship will also be held in Dunedin and is being designed to run on the East Stand area inside the stadium.

This should make for an interesting and tight course and the stadium will provide a grand venue. The good thing is that no matter what the weather the course will stay dry under the stadium roof, making for a pleasant environment for competitors. The competition will begin on the morning of Tuesday 25 September and be completed on the first day of the conference.

The prestigious Road Transport Industry Awards Dinner, traditionally held on the final night of conference, will this year be on the Wednesday night following the completion of the Truck Driving Championship, and is being arranged for the beautiful Dunedin Town Hall. A delegates’ farewell BBQ is also being organised for the final night of the conference down at pitch level on the stadium’s East Stand area, which will provide a grand backdrop.

Finally, the Region 5 committee has put together a partner’s programme that will involve a half-day sightseeing tour around Dunedin, including a visit to the Olveston Historic Home, and a full-day tour of the Otago Peninsular, visiting the Royal Albatross colony and Larnach Castle.

The conference website, including an online registration facility and accommodation options, sponsorship packages, transport and a partner’s programme, is now online and available at www.rtfconference.co.nz.

MEMBERS’ REVIEW MTE Group

NZTTMF member since 2000 Begun in Hamilton, New Zealand in 1973 by managing director Robin Ratcliffe, the Modern Transport Trailers (MTE) brand built its reputation on Robin’s ability to produce bespoke heavy trailer solutions for every situation.

Tenacious in their demand for quality and a thirst for challenge, Robin and his team were known then, and remembered now, for some of the more ambitious and innovative trailer builds the country has ever seen.

They still are.

The company continues to thrive on challenge, and the MTEbranded trailer range includes anything from simple trailers, jinkers, dollys, modules, transporters, wideners, FTLL, tri-sliders, tippers, and extendables to, of course, customised trailers.

They have two trailer manufacturing operations in Hamilton, and despite the demand for MTE trailers, fast turnaround is a

company promise. They also have a large range of trade-in trailers for sale—most are listed on their constantly updated website.

But these days MTE Group is more than a trailer builder. Much more. It has grown to be an industry leader across the wider transport sector, exporting trailers throughout Australasia along with branching out in recent years into equipment hire, finance and leasing through the ETL Hire division.

They also have a comprehensive range of transport parts and accessories servicing both New Zealand and Australia.

Robin is still very much in charge and has personal oversight on quality control and pricing. Characteristically, he still seeks out the challenging projects and has put together a crack team to meet them. That team is further strengthened by it having a solid family involvement. Robin’s son, Zane, heads up design and product development and another son, Michael, manages MTE in Australia. There are also no fewer than three of Robin’s grandsons in the business. It’s a big business. It’s a good business. It’s a family business. And it’s here to look after your business.

Robin extends a personal invitation to meet him, discuss your project, your need, the problem, and to sit back and watch as he and MTE deliver the solution.

MAKER: INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY International Harvester brought out the C-series in 1934, a year after they began producing B-Series Internationals. At this time International offered 18 different models for payloads of up to 7 tons. By 1937 the C-Series was ousted for the D-Series.

This C1 International was first registered on 4 December 1936 to Wilson Bros (James Dixon & Samual Bland) from Waitotara. It went through several owners around New Zealand until Bruce Millar of Invercargill purchased it in October 1993. He rebuilt it as a bread van for his family business - A. C. Millars Ltd. operating from the late 1930s to the late 40s.

Bruce rallied the International extensively from the time he finished the restoration in the late 1990s until we purchased it from him in June 2009.

THE LAST MILE

Is it time for

electronic logbooks?

R

ecently I was having a chat to a driver working as an OD and he said to me that after more than 10 years in the business he just cannot wait to get out, and will do so once he can sell his truck. I asked him why and his reply was that the industry is no fun any more and it’s getting harder to make a decent living. He said he regularly works more than 70 hours before he can have a break, and even that is often fewer than the 24 hours he should have. When I asked him about why he does this and how he covers this in his logbook, his answers were quite disturbing. Apparently he does it because he does not want to say no to the extra hours for fear of it being the thin edge of the wedge, resulting in less and less work. As for logbooks, well, he just fudges the entries and is prepared for the consequences if he gets caught.

Now I don’t think for one minute that this driver is unique; there must be hundreds out there in similar situations. As for the concern about his contract, I guess that’s a sign of the times

given the driver shortage and the increased pressure going on the industry to deliver everything on time.

This discussion got me thinking though, about how long it will be before the regulators move to close off the ability to fudge logbook entries and mandate the compulsory use of electronic logbooks in place of the paper ones. I suspect it won’t be too far away. In the United States electronic work diaries (ELDs) are now a fact of life, and Australia is expected to have their electronic logbook requirements published by the end of this year. In the UK tachographs that record not only driving time but also vehicle speed have been around for years and they are now going electronic to replace the old card that went in behind the vehicle’s speedo.

In New Zealand the use of electronic logbooks has been allowed since the current work time regime was introduced in 2007. The NZTA website shows that there are four of these systems approved for use here: http://www.nzta. govt.nz/commercial-driving/ commercial-safety/work-timeand-logbook-requirements/ electronic-driver-logbooks/.

How many drivers are using these is not really known, as, like paper books, the NZTA approves the system and not their individual use. Given the reaction by the driver mentioned previously, I suspect the uptake is quite low. Quite simply they cannot be fudged; if you should have a 30-minute break but only take 25 minutes, then from what I understand the logbook records this as a breach that becomes very obvious to enforcement officers. But I do understand that some of these logbooks at least warn a driver when a break is due or if they are about to commit a breach of the rules. Forgetting to take a break, or taking a shorter break than required is really no excuse. Apparently some of the approved logbooks can be used as part of a suite of products to make life simpler and easier, such as completing pre- and postuse inspections.

Our industry has always been very quick to pick up on new technology, especially where it can assist a driver and operator to improve the way they do things. Filling out paper logbooks is well past its use-by date so surely it is only a matter of time before the regulator moves to bring this aspect of recordkeeping into the 21st century whether we like it or not. 

…how long will it be before the regulators move to close off the ability to fudge logbook entries and mandate the compulsory use of electronic logbooks in place of the paper ones?

Filterpro’s Peter Theobald (left) and PAUL LAMONT (right).

FILTERPRO OPEN IN WIRI Filterpro is now open for business in Wiri, South Auckland, filling the gap for a dedicated automotive filter supplier to service the country.

C

ompany Director Peter Theobald explains, “Filterpro was born out of a need to have a major supplier specialising in automotive filters. We carry substantial stock and have setup an excellent delivery service which includes next day deliveries throughout New Zealand.”

Filterpro stock a wide range of automotive filters, from passenger cars to light commercial vehicles, heavy-duty trucks and machinery. Located on McLaughlins Road in modern warehousing and offices, they are at the hub of Auckland’s transport industry – convenient to motorways and close to the airport.

Filterpro supplies all types of filters that can be found on any truck or machine that you may have in your fleet, from oil, air, fuel, hydraulic, transmission and cabin filters Sales manager John Roberts outlined some key areas around maintaining and replacing worn filters.

“Clean air is critical to the performance and life of any engine, which requires several thousand times the amount of air than fuel.

Under normal operating conditions, burning a litre of fuel requires 68,000 litres of cleaned air in some cases.”

Another important filter for trucks is the cabin filter. “These clean the in-cab air, filtering out dust, pollen and airborne materials to ensure you are breathing the best possible air while in the cab.”

Fuel filters are a major product offering says John. “Filterpro fuel filters prevent contaminants from entering the fuel-injection

system and damaging both it and the carburettor. If not replaced regularly they can clog up with contaminants, causing a restriction in the fuel flow.”

Engines running on dirty oil won’t last long he says. “The oil filter should filter engine oil efficiently without blocking oil flow and that efficiency depends on the quality and size of the filtration media.”

Despite being a new company, Filterpro has a transport pedigree. Co-director to Peter, is his brother Brian who founded United Truck Parts - now one of New Zealand’s biggest suppliers of new Japanese truck and bus parts for OEM and aftermarket. Filterpro’s goal is to do with filters what sister company, United Truck parts has achieved in parts: to be New Zealand’s go-to supplier when it comes to automotive filters.”

All Filterpro’s filters meet or exceed OEM specifications, says Peter.

“Our mission is to be the industry’s preferred automotive filter supplier for cars, and light and heavy commercials.”

Filterpro is a growing business and the people involved pride themselves on stocking quality brands, delivering excellent value for money and superior service. Key brands include Jimco, JS Asakashi, Sakura and Donaldson, but call them about any of your automotive filter requirements – you’ll find them ready to help.

Contact John Paul, Martin or Peter on 0800 1 Filter or 09 867 4587 sales@filterpro.co.nz.
