Of the members, by the members, for the members

A

ttendance at the Road Transport Forum conference at the end of last year was low.

Registrations according to the RTF numbered around 320, a number that included sponsors and the Truck Driving Championship contingent. Actual attendance is believed to be about 50 below the registration.

Assuming all the entrants and supporters of the driving champs turned up, it’s a roll call that’s deserved of significant concern, particularly in light of the government that had just been elected to power. Never before in recent history has our industry required a unity of purpose, message and direction. That’s obviously not what’s happening.

So let’s have a look at how things are set up. The RTF is the communication conduit to central and local government for the industry’s three representative groups, namely the Road Transport Association, National Road Carriers Inc. and the NZ Trucking Association. Each industry association in an autonomous entity entitled to represent their membership and pursue initiatives for the betterment and benefit of their membership, as they are given a mandate to do so by that membership. They are not subservient to the RTF; in theory it’s quite the opposite.

Within the RTF there’s the Women in Road Transport Association, a specialist group dedicated to the voice and needs of the female labour force in the industry, and sector groups representing other specific specialist areas, namely livestock, petroleum, fuel, and logs.

In respect of the Sector Workforce Employment Programme (SWEP), interestingly there’s been a breakaway group, separate from the RTF, formed by the member associations, to deal with the liaison between them and the government.

As you can see it’s a very broad and disparate communication front, representing an incredibly large, powerful, but time-poor industry. The result of that is an annual RTF conference not well patronised. In attending the conference one of the things I noticed was a lack of “and so what?” and “by when?” The break-out groups think-tanking and communicating issues members have in the course of business reported back with a list of issues they faced, and no one appeared to be tasked with taking some form of action, and reporting back. I worked for well over 20 years for a self-made businessman, who, in the

6

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

event an issue was unearthed, tasked people with their part of the fix and God help you if you didn’t report back in the timeframe given. Interesting.

From the perspective of the new government, it’s a perfect situation. An omnipotent force in the economy, capable of wielding a very big stick, appears to be in the midst of an apathetic moment.

So who’s at fault and what’s the fix? Well, from my perspective it’s all about the play on Lincoln’s famous turn of phrase at Gettysburg I tweaked for the headline – government of the people, by the people, for the people. Essentially, if you feel you’re not being well served as an industry then it’s the membership that needs to act. It’s the members and only the members who hold the power to change things. If there are people in comfy positions and roles, then members need to start making things decidedly uncomfortable.

As an independent publication, New Zealand Trucking magazine observes distinctly different levels of energy, enthusiasm, and commitment when it comes to the industry’s representative associations. However, it’s the members’ responsibility to make sure they are satisfied with the value their subscription yields on an annual basis. It’s not about fuel and trade discounts; they’re nice to have fringe benefits of power in numbers, but the real benefits come from the delivery mandates agreed to by the membership and tasked to those the membership chose to represent their voice.

Successors to this current government will likely be under immense pressure from the rising, more interested millennial group with a societal agenda out of synch with lifestyle expectation. For this reason it’s vitally important our industry is well represented, and you, the members, hold all the cards on that one.

All the best

Calven Bonney – MNZM

A

uckland road transport operator Calven Bonney was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in the New Year’s Honours list.

The award recognised Bonney’s 40-plus years of voluntary service to the trucking industry and his involvement in motorsport.

Bonney has been a National Road Carriers board member since 1974 and was its president between 1997 and 2000.

He also played a key role in the formation of the Road Transport Forum in 1997. He has served on the RTF’s board since its inception and was its chairman from 2000 to 2002.

Bonney’s work with the NRC focused on the development of the organisation to provide all members, whether they had one truck or a fleet of hundreds, with the support, expertise and scale to run their businesses effectively and successfully.

He is well known for providing counsel, advice and a sounding board for all road transport operators and has helped the NRC negotiate the many supplier agreements and discounts for services provided to the organisation’s members.

Through his work with the RTF Bonney has worked with both national and local government to ensure the road transport industry has a voice to usher through regulatory changes and to make roads safer and easier to use for trucking.

Bonney has also championed improvements in the overall professionalism of the industry and fostered strong working relationships for the industry with the New Zealand Transport Agency, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Team (CVST), the Ministry of Transport and other local and regional authorities.

Passionate about motorsport, he started out crewing for other drivers, including Denny Hulme, and then raced speedway before getting involved in Super GTs, endurance events and Formula 5000.

Calven Bonney

Bonney is perhaps best known for his involvement in the establishment of truck racing in New Zealand, helping to negotiate rights from international promoters to start the sport here and then building his own truck for the first season.

A long-time sponsor of the annual Festival of Motorsport, Bonney ensures millions of dollars of historic cars arrive and are ready to race.

Bonney has also been a keen supporter of the Variety Club and was a regular participant in its events for more than 15 years, raising significant funds for the charity.

On a personal level, after selling his first three trucks in 1981, he went on to buy his father and uncle’s business in 1984. Today L. W. Bonney and Sons has more than 100 trucks on the road, servicing a variety of customers in different industries.

Speeding is not a ‘right’

A

new road safety advertising campaign launched in January is directly challenging speeding drivers to slow down and stop defending their perceived ‘right’ to speed.

The joint NZ Transport Agency/police campaign addresses the significant proportion of the driving population who still like to travel at speeds that are too fast for the conditions, on the open road and around town, posing a risk to themselves and to others who share the roads with them.

NZ Transport Agency director of safety and environment Harry Wilson said every week 11 people are seriously injured or killed in a speed-related crash on New Zealand roads, but a substantial portion of society does not see the connection between speed and crashes.

8

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

Assistant commissioner for road policing Sandra Venables said the consequences of people driving too fast for the conditions could be devastating.

“Even when speed doesn’t cause the crash, it is the single biggest determinant in whether anyone is killed, injured, or walks away unharmed. A small change in speed makes a big difference to injury severity.

“Our plea to all drivers this year is to be courteous and slow down, to make sure you get to your destination safely.”

ENDURO

– New Fuso workhorse

E

nduro will be the official name of Fuso New Zealand’s nine-strong workhorse range due for release in March.

With prices ranging from $44,850 to $119,850 across 4x2, 6x2, 6x4 and 8x4 configurations, the Enduro range complements Fuso’s premium Canter, Fighter and HD models.

“Enduro fills gaps in our existing line-up and allows us to reach new customers,” said Fuso NZ managing director Kurtis Andrews.

“Our evaluation process showed that these units are well-suited to demanding short and medium-haul applications, and businesses where a truck is required but where transport is not the core focus, such as excavation contracting, scaffolders and STMS.” With GVM figures of 9 to 40 tonnes, Enduro sits across the middleweight spectrum. The smaller FA and FI models feature a proven Canter drivetrain on a Fighter chassis, while the FJ, FO and FZ models have a Mercedes-Benz Axor drivetrain and chassis at their core. There are also two factory-built tipper units (the 4x2 FI1217 and 6x4 FJ2528).

Every Enduro has full air brakes, ABS, central locking, radio with USB and auxiliary inputs, and a spring-park brake on the rear axle as standard. All models have 15,000km service intervals and the entire range features easy-to-clean vinyl interiors.

The Enduro range is manufactured at Daimler’s state-ofthe-art manufacturing facility in Chennai, India, and built to

withstand the demanding nature of Kiwi roads.

To ensure that is the case, Fuso NZ conducted a robust, sixmonth evaluation with a number of Kiwi operators – several who purchased the truck they had on trial.

“We acted on our customers’ feedback to ensure these units are up to the job,” said Andrews. “It was a robust process, which has validated our confidence in these trucks.”

Tauranga-based Taylor Bros Transport Ltd put an 8x4 FO3128 through its paces, carting bulk materials to construction sites around the region.

Managing director Andrew Taylor said he was immediately impressed by its height off the ground, providing excellent ground clearance at both ends.

“It’s got all the basics and that’s what you want for a working man’s truck.”

Models from the Enduro range will be on show at regional events and dealerships around the country in March, beginning with Northland Field Days (1 to 3 March); the Trucking Industry Show – Christchurch (9 to 10 March); Central Districts Field Days (15 to 17 March) and also National Fieldays in June.

Yang Kee acquires Fliway

Y

ang Kee Logistics Pte Ltd has acquired New Zealand listed company Fliway Group Ltd for S$52.1 million [NZ$54.75 million], making it the first and largest Singaporean third-party logistics player to operate in New Zealand and the Oceania region.

This will boost the group’s revenue by another S$81.9 million, bringing its group revenue to over S$400 million.

The combined Yang Kee group will now have more than 1250 employees in 12 countries.

Following the deal announced last October, Yang Kee has acquired all the outstanding shares in Fliway for NZ$1.22 cash per share by way of a scheme of arrangement. This constitutes a change of control of Fliway, which is now wholly owned by Yang Kee, and Fliway delisted from NZX with effect from 4 January.

Yang Kee Logistics group CEO Ken Koh said their vision had always been to go global and this would give them the potential to facilitate cross-Oceania trade as well as trade flows between Oceania and Yang Kee’s existing networks in China and South East Asia.

New Zealand had registered an overall trade surplus of NZ$3 billion, exporting over NZ$70.4 billion worth of goods and services for the year ended March 2017, while total imports were NZ$67.4 billion. Its bilateral trade with Australia reached

10

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

NZ$24 billion, and Australia remained as New Zealand’s top trading partner and export destination for goods and services at NZ$12.9 billion for the year, followed by China at NZ$12.6 billion.

On the back of Yang Kee’s first Oceania acquisition of Australian logistics company Axima Pty Ltd in March last year, Yang Kee will be looking into yielding greater synergies from the network integration of shared international freight volumes between Fliway and Axima and cross-selling opportunities in their combined customer bases to Asia.

Fliway Group Ltd managing director Duncan Hawkesby said this would significantly strengthen the company’s position across the Tasman and in the Asia Pacific Region and provide opportunities to service customers beyond New Zealand.

The deal was financed by the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) as well as United Orient Capital, a special situation fund sponsored by the United Overseas Bank Limited.

Founded in 1990 in Singapore, Yang Kee Logisticis is an end-to-end global supply chain logistics solutions provider.

Iconic Kiwi brand changes hands

M

ills-Tui has a new hand at the tiller following Dean Purves’s purchase of the iconic Rotorua company.

Dean has been in the transport industry for many years in finance, leasing and sales roles, originally starting his career as a diesel mechanic.

“I’ve most recently been in truck leasing as general manager of heavy commercial at FleetPartners. I’ve also held senior management roles with TCL Isuzu and Manheim.

“I’ve been in the transport industry for a long time and I’d always wanted to buy a business. I’d started thinking, if I did, what kind of business would interest me.

Transport engineering was something that mixed with my experience quite well, so that’s why I looked at MillsTui.” It will be business as usual for the company’s 20 staff, and the business name will be kept following settlement at the end of January.

“At the moment the order book’s pretty full, so it’s business as usual while I get my feet under the desk and then we’ll look at opportunities from there.

We’re actually on the hunt for a few more staff too, with what’s in front of us.

“We’ve got another trailer design coming out shortly, which will be ready in a month or two, and we’ll release more details about that when it gets here.”

Previously based in Auckland, Dean and his family have relocated to Rotorua. Dean enjoys fishing, motor racing, rugby and cricket, and says he is looking forward to continuing those

pursuits in his spare time.

“There is a huge amount of expertise and experience in this business. It has been on the same site for well over 30 years, so there’s a lot of history that goes with it, and all of that expertise is being retained here.”

Mills-Tui specialises in designing and manufacturing a full range of heavy transport truck and trailer units, fire fighting and other emergency vehicles, hi-tech specialty vehicles, defence vehicles and modifying and refurbishing existing equipment. They are internationally recognised as being at the forefront of innovation, design and customer focus in this field.

Intertruck appoints Prestige in Auckland

A

labour shortage in Auckland that resulted in Intertruck having difficulties filling vacancies for qualified technician positions in their Auckland branch has led to them appointing a new sales, parts and service dealer in Auckland.

“Although non-qualified mechanics are available, these applicants do not meet our company’s standards,” said Intertruck managing director Comer Board. “It is imperative such standards are never compromised: that would affect vehicle repairs and vehicle safety.”

Board said Ricky Simonsen, the owner of Prestige International Ltd, provided the solution. Soon to exit from a service agreement with another franchise, Simonsen approached Intertruck to be a sales, service and parts dealer for the International brand.

“Having achieved our standards, Prestige is now an authorised dealer for Intertruck, covering the greater Auckland region. Our service, parts and admin staff from our Auckland branch will integrate into Prestige’s business.

This ensures that we can continue the high level of performance our customers expect.”

Board said fortunately Prestige was immune to the labour crisis because of a simple formula.

“Ricky, is a hands-on owner/service dealer who has gained tremendous respect from his employees and

customers alike, resulting in his retaining long-term staff.

Prestige will employ more than 30 staff after integrating our team, with an impressive 22 skilled technicians/mechanics, two in-house auto electricians and three parts staff, along with having light engineering capability, all in one location.”

Hugh Green will remain as Intertruck’s longstanding national sales manager and will move from his current location to Prestige International.

“Hugh will concentrate on further developing our sales and marketing profile and continue his incredible passion for selling the International brand for Intertruck on a national basis,” said Board.

“Our customers are tremendously loyal and have supported our branch. Although not affecting our other branches, this move has presented us with an opportunity to grow our brand, leading to a new era in parts and service in Auckland, starting from 1 February.”

ISUZU

– 18 Grand Slams

I

suzu Trucks has reconfirmed its dominance of the New Zealand market, achieving an unprecedented 18 years as number one.

“Since the year 2000, Isuzu Trucks has been the top selling truck brand here, which is an unprecedented achievement,” said Isuzu Trucks New Zealand general manager Colin Muir.

“There are very few brands in the entire automotive industry, even considering a global perspective, which can claim such dominance.”

Isuzu Trucks and its dealers achieved 1305 registrations for the year, a new record that beat the old record set only last year.

Isuzu enjoyed a 25.6% share of the new truck market.

“The quality, performance and all-round durability of Isuzu Trucks has contributed to this ongoing success, as has a dealer network which is really stepping up in terms of exceeding customer expectations,” said Muir.

New Zealand Trucking

He said prospects for Isuzu Trucks were very bright, a sentiment shared by many dealers who invested in new or upgraded facilities and increased staff numbers.

“We’re really excited about our prospects heading into 2018, especially with a new offering in the Euro-dominated HPMV tipper market with the newly launched 500+ HP CYZ530 6x4.

We have every confidence we can continue this remarkable run of form.”

SCR Solutions Ltd celebrates 10th anniversary

B

ack in 2008 when Greg Jorey, managing director of SCR Solutions, was looking for exhaust emission systems, he came across a product called AdBlue.

After researching the product, he discovered most European trucking manufacturers were incorporating this into their new trucks and he knew that AdBlue would eventually be required in New Zealand.

SCR Solutions partnered with Yara International because they were the world’s largest manufacturer of Hot-Melt AdBlue, and are widely accepted across the industry as producing the highest purity grade AdBlue.

The first container of AdBlue arrived in Tauranga when only a handful of trucks using it were on the road in New Zealand.

As new trucks started to arrive from Europe, the business started to grow.

A few years on and American manufacturers came on board and started to incorporate AdBlue into their trucks, and with this the demand for the product grew even more. After a few years there was a noticeable shift from 1000L IBCs to bulk tanks, prompting the need for SCR Solutions to start a bulk delivery service.

With the volumes steadily increasing pressure was mounting on the major fuel companies to provide AdBlue at the truck stops. SCR Solutions was instrumental in helping BP provide AdBlue at the pump and they not only supply BP with AdBlue but also build all their above-ground AdBlue Tanks. SCR Solutions also fill a number of the ZDEC Tanks around the country for Z Energy.

“Over the years the market has seen other AdBlue suppliers come and go and there have been plenty of horror stories.”

Greg points out that SCR Solutions has never had a contamination issue, which is something they are very proud of.

ROAD NOISE NEWS → Continued from page 18 When asked why SCR Solutions stands out, Greg says it’s their knowledge of the product, knowledge of the industry, and their one-stop-shop that provides both the dispensing gear and the AdBlue.

“We listen to our customers and provide them with what they want. We make it easy for the transport companies to go about their business and take the hassle out of obtaining AdBlue.”

SCR Solutions has developed its own cloud-based dispenser system, so they can monitor their customers’ tank levels and provide them with a monthly usage report, which the customer gets free of charge if their AdBlue volumes warrant it.

“With storage locations all around New Zealand we have eliminated a lot of the freight costs, and it also makes it easy to bulk fill customers from these locations. Nothing is a problem and we stand by our products. With well over 100 of our own bulk tanks that we have in truck yards and bus depots around New Zealand, we have put a designated AdBlue maintenance vehicle on the road to carry out regular check-ups on our equipment to avoid supply disruptions to our customers.”

Greg says looking to the future, as a result of customer requests they will be rolling out their own weights and measures approved dispensers.

“This will help extend our network around the country, making it easier for customers to get AdBlue when they need it. It will be interesting to see where technology takes us in another 10 years, but for now we will celebrate that past 10 years and tomorrow it will be business as usual.”

Action-aplenty on electric front Scania and Northvolt big R&D push on battery cell tech Scania and Northvolt have jointly agreed to develop and commercialise battery cell technology for heavy commercial vehicles. Scania is investing EUR 10 million in the partnership to enhance further development and support the establishment of Northvolt’s demonstration line and research facility.

Vehicle electrification is rapidly advancing and offers a path towards more sustainable transport solutions.

For heavy trucks and buses, continued development of both charging infrastructure as well as more robust, cost-efficient and sustainable battery cells is needed for commercially viable electrification. Different transport tasks will require different electric powertrains, and battery and cell technologies must therefore be developed to support varying needs.

The two companies will establish an expert team and work together at Northvolt’s research facility in Västerås, Sweden, to develop and commercialise production of battery cells optimised to power commercial vehicles. The companies have also entered into an off-take purchase agreement for battery cells.

Production of battery cells is energy intensive and Sweden offers a solid supply of cost-effective green energy so is well suited for large-scale sustainable battery production. Northvolt is building the next generation battery factory in the north Swedish city of Skellefteå with the objective of producing high-quality green batteries, with a minimal carbon footprint and the aim of recycling.

2019 for Volvo medium-duty electrics in Europe In 2019 Volvo Trucks will start selling electric mediumduty trucks in Europe, but the first units will be in operation with selected customers this year.

“Electromobility is fully in line with Volvo Truck’s long term commitment for sustainable urban development and zero emissions”, said Claes Nilsson, president Volvo Trucks.

Electric trucks reduce noise and exhaust emissions and open up new ways to manage logistics. More work can be carried out at night and fewer trucks need to travel during rush hour.

“Our technology and knowhow within electromobility are based on proven commercial solutions already in use on Volvo’s electric buses, and solutions that were introduced in Volvo’s hybrid trucks as far back as 2010,” says Jonas

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Odermalm, head of product strategy medium-duty vehicles at Volvo Trucks. “The vehicles themselves are only one part of what is needed for large-scale electrification to succeed.”

Odermalm said Volvo was working closely with customers, cities, suppliers of charging infrastructure and other key stakeholders to create the necessary framework for electrical trucks.

Nilsson added: “We believe in full electrification for urban distribution as a first step, however we are working with electrification for other transport applications. This is only the beginning.”

BMW expands electric truck fleet BMW, along with partners SCHERM Group and logistics service provider ARS Altmann, now have three e-trucks in use at BMW’s Munich plant.

The first 40-ton electric truck was put into service in 2015 and two more were added last December. Through the use of these e-trucks, the company reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 82 tons annually.

The original truck covered a route between the BMW plant and Scherm logistics centre eight times a day. Travelling at a top speed of 40kph, the truck saved about 48 tons of CO2 annually.

The new trucks are on two different routes. The first sees cargo moved 12kms from the Munich plant to a supply centre in Karlsfeld. The truck transports car parts and has a top speed of 64kph with a 160km range. Depending on the specific tractor, the truck batteries take three to four hours to charge.

The second new truck moves finished cars between BMW Welt – the brand’s exhibition and delivery centre – and the Garching distribution centre. It features a covered trailer to keep the new cars clean.

Jürgen Maidl, SVP logistics and production network at the BMW Group, said at the three production sites in Munich, Landshut and Leipzig, BMW now operates a total of seven electric trucks.

ord’s Ranger was New Zealand’s top-selling new vehicle model last year, with 9420 sales, and topped ute sales for the fourth year in a row.

Toyota’s Hilux was second on both overall and ute tables, with 8106. Third overall was Toyota’s Corolla, with Holden Colorado third for utes, at 4489.

Toyota’s Hiace was New Zealand’s favourite van, with 2961 sales, putting it sixth overall on the commercial tables, with Fiat Ducato third in the van stakes at 1065, and Ford Transit fourth, with 930.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ STOCKMAN’S

MATE Story by Dave McCoid Photos and video by Dave McCoid and Carl Kirkbeck

We wanted an Isuzu and we wanted something rural. It doesn’t get any more Isuzu or rural than Waipawa-based Stephenson Transport Ltd in the Hawke’s Bay.

New Zealand Trucking

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

“I

’ll ring Bruce Stephenson,” said Isuzu national sales manager Dave Ballantyne. “He’d be ideal for what you’re looking for.”

What we were looking was a big ‘Suzy’ working in rural stock transport, predominantly in a regional situation.

Why? Because we wanted to see one in a job we think it was made for, strong, no-nonsense, reliable, profitable cartage.

What we didn’t want on this test was illuminated whip aerials and enough chrome and lights to make it visible from Mars.

We also wanted the right operator. A good stockman always has the welfare of the passengers in the rear at the forefront of every thought, and his truck has to be part of an overall package that helps optimise that. Reliability, manoeuvrability, traction, and ride are his or her key requirements, along with enough ‘bogie’ in the big country to avoid the passengers needing their hooves trimmed at the destination. Sixty-twoyear-old Robert Wood fitted the driver requirement just as well as Stephenson fleet number 55 fitted the truck one. It was going to be a grand couple of days.

The last CYJ530 we tested was the R J Lincoln truck in June 2016. Like that truck, this one is set up as an 8-axle combination, but unlike the Tokoroa machine, this combination fits nicely into the no-fuss world of standard dimensions and mass. It also runs the 18-speed manual Roadranger, but most importantly it’s got 120,000 clicks under its tread. The Stephenson truck is the ideal age; young enough to still be enthusiastic but old enough to start telling its owner how the next five to eight years are going to go.

There’s cows that need-a-cartin’

countryside. It was 7.00am and Robert had already completed his first load of the day. Greetings and handshakes done, we were in the cab and off to load 33 steers from two pick-ups, and then head for ANZCO Foods in Bulls. Following that it was a load of grazers from the parched Himatangi Beach area to Ongaonga, which just happens to be enjoying an unusually lush mid-summer.

As soon as we turned out onto SH2 and set sail for Ugly Hill Road in the lower eastern Hawke’s Bay, Robert started singing the praises of his ride.

“It’s a good, solid, reliable truck that’s nice to drive and gets the job done as well as anything else. Bruce asked me if I wanted it and I said ‘Yep’. It’s ideally suited for this type of work, an excellent fleet truck. They’ve improved the ride on the new ones no end. I enjoy driving them.”

First impressions always count for a lot and as Robert talked the CYJ gathered speed quickly and began winding its way through a series of left-right-left curves. It felt solid and stable and completely without fuss. Straight away you got the feeling this was a truck that placed no unwanted demands on the driver and allowed busy people to be busy doing what they needed to do.

‘Ugly Hill Road’ conjured up all sorts of thoughts, but as we headed up to load the truck, it was pretty much as you’d expect in this part of the country, a winding single carriage way with lumpy erratic edge seal and bugger all shoulder that you wouldn’t want to drop a wheel off with two-up cattle or fourup sheep on board.

Once loaded it was back to the 4-axle Jackson Enterprises trailer waiting patiently in the long roadside grass, and off to the second stop.

The frame height on the truck is set at 950mm from the factory. Once the deck and crate are fitted, local Hastings

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

dealer and supplier Deakin Trucks Isuzu reset the computer to level the deck. There’s a hand control in the cab that allows the driver to adjust the deck height to suit the trailer for butting up. The system automatically resets to the default setting when the truck drives off.

Robert’s a skilful stock truck operator, quick to get the truck backed in and set up for loading and unloading. Avoiding the need to jiggle back and forth adds up to big chunks of time at the end of the week and is more important than ever nowadays where animal processing plants have decided to head down the unload booking time route. There’s no question the Isuzu’s nimble characteristics also assist greatly in the load and unload process – more on that later.

Porangahau is a lovely part of the country this time of year.

Robert guides the Isuzu back into the trailer.

Sadly, we couldn’t stay, as we weren’t supposed to be there.

We’d got separated from Robert and he was some distance away heading in the other direction. The lovely chap in the main street on the stop/go summed it up beautifully…

“Man! You guys are lost as!” It wasn’t long before we were reunited with Robert, swapping hilarious stories about the missing ute and stock truck.

A big ole heart that never gives up

Stephenson Transport Ltd is renowned for its use of the Isuzu product. Bruce is certainly not shy when it comes to extolling the virtues of the brand, neither for that matter is general manager and third-generation Stephenson, Todd. In Bruce’s words, “Todd’s a fan of the old adage ‘There’s no replacement for displacement’”. And when it comes to displacement the Isuzu’s 15,681cc 6WG1-TCS engine certainly delivers. A turbo intercooled unit with electronically controlled direct injection and a high-pressure common rail fuel system. It’s a Euro 5 unit deploying SCR to deliver the emissions figure.

It produces 390kW (530hp) at 1800 and 2255Nm (1663lb/ ft) in a flat line from around 900rpm to 1300rpm. The power curve is a rapid ascender and the relationship between the two is evidenced by the generous green band on the tachometer from 800rpm through to 1600rpm. Interestingly, at 1600rpm the Isuzu’s heart is producing about 355kW (473hp) so there’s still 35kW left in that last 200rpm that allow Isuzu to put ‘530’ on the door. It makes for a truck that’s available to multiple driving styles, none of which is necessarily incorrect. You might say it lends itself more to the power end as torque is modest in relation to some of the competition. Take the Regal’s Volvo FM we tested last April. That’s a 397kW (540hp) truck that produces 2600Nm(1981lb/ft); Noel Aiken’s Sinotruk has vital

Displacement still puts up a good case for itself.

There’s no shortage of it in the Isuzu CYJ

statistics of 397kW (540hp) and 2500Nm (1850lb/ft), and Waitomo Petroleum’s DAF CF85 sports 375kW (510hp) and 2500Nm (1850lb/ft). From a pure numbers game you could argue that in the Isuzu you’ve essentially got a Fuso HD performance profile at 346kW (470hp) and 2227Nm (1644lb/ ft), but if you did you’d be missing out one key – somewhat enigmatic – number that still stands for a lot when you’re at the coalface…displacement. The big ole heart in the Isuzu is a toiler and certainly didn’t throw in the towel as quick as the 12-litre unit in the Fuso did last July. The Fuso needed to be kept spinning; and the Isuzu felt way more comfortable in the basement. Deakin Trucks’ John Somerville told us that getting people to not change gear is the challenge when out training.

It’s interesting because Robert did say early on, with no prompting from us, “It would just make the truck if it cracked the magic 1850 to 1900lb/ft mark that so many trucks in its power league seem to produce. I think it would make a hell of difference”. While we ‘tend’ to agree, we have to say again that after the run back over the Saddle Road at max weight, this is a big-hearted truck which Robert himself reinforced with a story about passing one of the company’s DAFs in recent weeks, both trucks load for load.

Moving on back down the drivetrain is the bulletproof Roadranger 18-speed RTLO18918 manual transmission and even further back are Isuzu RT210 hypoid type axles rated at 21,000kg sitting on an Isuzu 4-bag air suspended rear end with stabiliser bars and hydraulic shock absorbers. Up front are Isuzu FO66 axles rated at 13,200kg on parabolic leaf springs and double-acting shock absorbers.

The Isuzu in 8x4 trim comes with a GVM of 29,000kg and GCM of 55,000kg. That obviously has implications for operations in the higher HPMV bands; however one local operator is fitting Hendrickson PRIMAAX suspensions,

ex-factory, allowing a larger crown-wheel and pinion with a 62 tonne rating, so future-proofing the trucks somewhat.

Saddle up stockmen!

At Himatangi Robert again had the truck backed-up, butted, loaded, and stretched, all in about 40 minutes, and he had worked up a good sweat in the blazing sun by the time he finished. This 62-year-old has some secret elixir to youth stashed away and his whole approach is certainly a lesson to many well under half his age. When we left Manawatu bound for Ongaonga, the load of rising two-year-old cattle on board set the Isuzu right on 45 tonne.

Fixing the Manawatu Gorge isn’t going to be an easy task and will likely take the thick end of a decade. Even with a big chunk of improvement work on the Saddle Road it’s not a heart-warming thought when you realise this will be the go-to corridor for that period.

The toughest part of the climb comes early on the western side and the Isuzu finds itself recovering from third gear high split into fourth gear high split and holding a steady 30km/h at about 1700rpm (that’s power). The nasty bit is a pinch Robert knows well and he’d predicted the loss and recovery long before we got there. The broad useable band of the engine was prevalent on the climb as there were times Robert let it drop back to the other end and she chugged away over crests happily at 1100rpm or lower.

“It’s happy to pull away from down low. You can feel the trailer being dragged around the corners and she just dies and recovers (that’s torque). Prior to this one I had a 460. That was a bloody strong truck, it could pull too. The best I got out of that was 1.7kpl, and this one’s doing 1.9kpl,” says Robert. For the old school amongst us that’s 5.36mpg and the reality is that’s pretty good considering the conditions the truck works

A high cab but a well crafted access.

Easy peasy.

Riding high but staying low The big Isuzus are not lacking on the looks front. They certainly present well, especially with the aero-kits fitted, and some companies have a knack of making them look downright spectacular. Stephensons is certainly one of those companies – although their livery would lend itself to anything to be frank – but others… Sollys, Big Chill and Mack Transport spring to mind, have also made their big CYJs pop.

The new truck stands head and shoulders over its predecessors, but you really wouldn’t know it getting in and out. Grab handles and steps are beautifully placed and you can whip in and out with no issue whatsoever. Sitting up high in the cab there’s plenty of room in both the cockpit and passenger seats. In true Japanese style the amount of plastic lockers and storage between the seats has the capacity to raise the tare a tonne. It’s a bit of a continued frustration and

the cab design department in the factories of Japanese truck manufacturers need to catch up to 2018 and think about cross-cab access and sensible storage. Out of interest we went back to the Isuzu EXZ New Zealand Trucking magazine tested in March 1989 and there was heaps more room for the driver to move around the cab if needed. So what happened? The driver in the CYJ is very much in an enclosed driving compartment and even climbing into the bunk for a kip involves clambering over fixtures, fittings and cab furniture.

The driving position is fine and Robert liked a high, forward position in the ISRI 6860 – no eyeballs over the windowsill for him.

The dash is typical Japanese with eight gauges and a multi-display showing consumption and distance metrics.

The (very slight) carbon fibre patterned wrap housed the entertainment and connectivity area, climate management and assorted switchgear, flowing around to gear lever, trailer and park brakes. The right column stalk took care of indicators, lights and cruise control, and the left wipers and auxiliary braking. Easy.

There’s a heap of headroom and storage in the high roof cab; sadly the headroom can’t be optimised as there’s nowhere to stand up. The bunk is more than useable for a night away and we guess one advantage of the central consul island for a growing percentage of the population is there’s plenty of room for the CPAP machine to sit.

From a cleaning point of view the cab is easy maintenance with nothing that can’t be spray and wiped, although that consul melange would make vacuuming a long and torrid affair.

The in-cab environment is comfortable enough and we’d certainly have no issue trundling around the country in a CYJ. The ride in the electronically controlled 4-bag setup is on the firm side but provides positive feedback. A lot of Kiwi R&D went into this truck and it shows in the way it handles; it’s a rapid responder.

Climbing hard with the engine fan on recorded a solid 81dB and climbing without it about 10 less than that.

Humming along State Highway 2 at 90km/h (1500rpm) the meter was bobbing around 69 to 70. It’s a very relaxed environment when the big engine is loafing along.

Daily checks are under the front flap for oil and clutch fluid, and left rear of the cab for coolant.

Dash is typical Japanese but there’s a little too

“We build our crates a bit heavier because of the number of bulls we cart,” says Bruce Stephenson later on. “They’re really hard on crates so we make them stronger to cope.”

Down the other side of the Saddle we were able to sample one of the truck’s real strong points, the auxiliary braking. The Isuzu has a two-stage set-up operated from a wand on the left side of the steering column. First stage engages an exhaust brake (X-Tard) and the second a magnetic driveshaft retarder (Giga-Tard). Activation of the retarder certainly throws the anchor out, and what’s more it’s all done without noise.

Robert says from his point of view his only minor grumble with the Isuzu is traction. The cattle ride much better on the air set-up, but traction could be better.

“It’s got diff lock but no cross locks. The Argosys have all the fruit and way better traction but my turning circle means I can often sneak into a place and get around without cutting the surface up too much. What I can do in one swing takes the

Argosys three, maybe four goes, and the DAFs two. Because the others need to go back and forth more there’s not much in it. It has this fancy traction button but I’m not sure it does much,” chuckles Robert.

From a safety perspective the truck is equipped with ABS and so all is well in the stopping department.

Here I come and there I go

Without doubt the Isuzu’s party trick is its turning circle.

Once the flaw of any 8x4 this truck’s ability to make a radical direction change is gobsmacking and never more evident than when Robert needed to make a U-turn on a narrowish dual carriageway road. Put it this way, it certainly was not SH2.

“Bugger. I’ve gone the wrong way back there. I’ll have to turn around. Here will do.”

“Where?” we thought. But he did it right there. In three points we were on our way, 180° from the direction we’d been heading two minutes earlier. We think the stock would have been almost dizzy. Coming from a Mack Ultra Liner

Age is just a number There must be something in the water in Hawke’s Bay. Both Bruce Stephenson and his driver Robert Wood present like men 15 years their junior. Both are energetic and enthusiastic.

Robert Wood, 62, was born in Herefordshire (that’s prophetic) England, immigrating to New Zealand when he was six.

“Mum and Dad were two of the Ten Pound Poms,” says Robert (the 1945 post-war government scheme gave the English an opportunity to immigrate to Australia for only £10, with kids travelling for free. In 1947 New Zealand followed Australia’s lead with a similar scheme). The Woods settled in Omakere and Robert’s Dad took on a share-farming role.

In 1973 an 18-year-old Robert hit up Bruce for a driving job, having done hay for him since he was 15. He stayed on for six years before union frustration sent Robert to the farm again.

He returned to Stephenson Transport for another stint before he and wife Barbara headed back to the motherland for what was to be a five-year stint, allowing Robert to reacquaint himself with his roots. The family still had a 50-acre landholding in England to look after and he also worked shearing and farming in South Wales for the guy who had the largest John Deere agency in South Wales. Interestingly enough he never drove trucks in England. That’s been a Kiwi thing.

“My New Zealand HGV licence wasn’t valid in England and it was going to cost £1400 to get it. Anyway, the roads over there are just too congested. It’s totally different.”

As it turned out, five years turned into 23. They’d always intended to come back to New Zealand, which they did in 2010.

The youthful Robert Wood has spent his life on one side of the globe or the other, although as far as trucking’s concerned it’s been an all-Kiwi affair.

“You ended up where?”

28

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

On their return home Robert drove a controlled temperature unit for his brother-in-law before returning to work for his old boss, Bruce Stephenson.

“You keep fitter doing this work, and being a farmer myself I enjoy talking to the customers. I’d like to think I’ll be able to keep going until I’m 70; we’ll see.”

Based on the youthful Robert we met, if he keeps doing what he’s doing there’s no doubt he’ll be picking up some farmer’s stock and taking it somewhere else in eight years time.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Right: Robert heading in to make sure everyone on board is happy.

back in the day, the thought of executing that turn boggled the mind. To keep everything in the undercarriage happy on such occasions Stephenson Transport use the BroLube central greasing system. Bruce says they tune it to their own circumstances to prevent over-greasing in places but have been using it for many years and find it invaluable on ground spreaders in particular.

The Isuzu’s pirouetting abilities are in no small part due to a shortened wheelbase of 5525mm, a standard alteration done to any stock unit with 7.3m decks and supplied through Deakins.

The snip is done in their own engineering workshops in sunny Hastings.

Smile and wave

The cattle arrived safe and sound in Ongaonga and seemed over the moon with the pasture presented to them. By now we were well accustomed to Robert’s docking and stocking abilities.

We wanted to sample a CYJ in an environment we thought it was made for. A simple, practical, impeccably reliable truck for a job with a very special skill requirement. The big Isuzu was exactly that. This truck truly is the stockman’s mate.

We haven’t mentioned the EGR and AMT issues of the previous generation in this part of the story; that’s history and more than well documented. What needs to be said now is that Isuzu stood by their customers and have presented a new model that could well measure up to legendary models like the GIGA400 and 460.

Mel Bradley, who together with husband Duncan owns the farm where the grazers went, summed it up best. Without any prompting she said: “Robert’s great, Duncan likes him. They have a lot of banter but he always backs in first time. Others take a while. And those trucks, like the one he drives, they’re really good. When you see them coming you know they’ll just turn in, back up, load or unload and leave. No drama.”

Then she was off to tend to some cattle.

In, unload and gone quietly and without fuss. The Isuzu CYJ is like a good Huntaway or Border Collie…a stockman’s mate.

What’s in a name?

Stephenson Transport Ltd is one of those Kiwi companies where the livery is more than simply pigment on steel, more than just a brand. In such a young country any company that can celebrate 82 years in business, as one brand, owned by one family, has something special to say.

Seventy-seven-year-old Bruce Stephenson is managing director of the company and obviously drinks water from the same fountain of youth as Robert Wood. Today the fleet is 50 trucks strong, dominated still by the Isuzu brand, with a healthy smattering of Freightliners, DAFs, and some MANs and Scania ground spreaders. Company headquarters are in Waipawa with another depot in Hastings.

One of the biggest ticks against the Stephenson name is succession. Bruce and his brothers took over from their father and then Bruce bought his brothers out around the turn of the century. Todd, Bruce’s son, is 47 and general manager, and by all accounts generation four is not far from bursting onto the scene with enough enthusiasm and energy to power the planet for a year. This family has the ability to not only instil a work ethic, sense of purpose, and respect for the industry into each new generation, but also hand the reins over progressively. A picture of company founders Septimus and Mary Stephenson hangs proudly in the foyer of the immaculate Waipawa offices, along with a picture of their first trucks. Lineage is important here. The pride and philosophy pervade the premises and the many staff who have been there a long, long time.

Septimus James Edward Stephenson and wife Mary (Nelly) started S J E Stephenson Transport Ltd in 1936 with an International and a Morris, based in Waipawa, carting Kahikatea for the manufacture of butter boxes from just south of Waipukurau back into the town. Like most businesses, entrepreneurial endeavour was hog-tied by the government’s

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ protection of rail. S J E Stephenson Ltd grew slowly and organically until deregulation in 1983, when the company could spread its wings more. By this stage Bruce and his two brothers had been involved in the business for some time and it continued this way until Bruce bought them out in 2000, at which time it became Stephenson Transport Ltd. “As you could image we all had our own opinion on trucks and the company was a real mixture of brands. I had to try and standardise. My wife’s nephew was a salesman at the local Isuzu dealer and truck wrecker Russell Deakin,” says Bruce. “We had a couple of Isuzus and so I decided to head down that path.”

Bruce bought his first new Isuzu from salesman John Somerville in 1998, a 380hp CXH 8x4 stock unit, and that was closely followed by a tipper. Those trucks paved the way for what was an armada of Isuzus over the next 20 years. Pictures of the original two hang proudly with the pictorial history of the company that hangs in the operations office.

“They’re an incredible truck, and have served this company so well. Those early machines just went and went. We never touched the engines, and had some run to 1.6 million kilometres without any work at all,” says Bruce.

No Isuzu story can pass without mention of what Bruce describes as the ‘AMT era’.

“I took one for a drive and thought ‘yep we’ll have some of these’ and I bought 13 of the things. Thirteen headaches as it turned out. Man, it was a desperate time. The electronic loom was on top of the gearbox between it and the crate, and when a wire in the bundle broke you couldn’t get to the thing!” Bruce almost shudders as he thinks about it. “But I need to say this and make it very clear. Isuzu stood by us like you wouldn’t believe. The level of support they gave their trucks and customers, I’ve never experienced anything

like it. Not just that, but they came out from Japan and did the homework on the new one and we’re back on track.

Interestingly we never experienced any of the heating issues some engines in the same era were having, yet they sent out overhaul kits that had to go in. I hate to think what that whole thing cost them globally.

“It’s looking like the new model has put them right back where they should be and is shaping up to be another exceptional product, although we won’t have another AMT while I’m here. The Roadranger is such a bulletproof piece of kit.

“It takes time to fix a problem and we had to go elsewhere in the interim, hence the Freightliners and DAFs. The Freightliners also fill that longer haul HPMV slot too, where power and extra torque give them that little bit more punch.”

Having the opportunity to spend time with Bruce we quizzed him on the state of the industry.

“The driver shortage is the big issue, especially for a company like us. Stock truck drivers are specialists. They drive with the welfare of the animal first and foremost and that makes them highly skilled, gentle, and good off-road too. We have six apprentices coming up through the ranks in the rural and freight divisions, and of late we’ve had good enquiry.

Companies aren’t doing enough to contribute to the fix, choosing to poach off others instead. It’s really frustrating.

“And of course rates. As farming has evolved and practices have improved the animals have got bigger and bigger.

Farmers are paid on weight and carriers on number. It needs addressing.”

“It sounds good. Don’t know when I’ll get there.”

Hawke’s Bay Isuzu sales icon John Somerville laughs as he tries to figure out when he’s going to be able to set off on his upcoming retirement adventure. And what an adventure. After 22-plus years of selling Isuzus – and Internationals before that – in the Bay, it’s time to hand the mantle to the next generation as he and wife Lorraine head for Fiji to retire, and spend time with their son and his family who live over there. In typical Somerville fashion…

“I still have trucks on the water that I want to see to their customers, so it could be April…yeah April… I think.” He then erupts into laughter and you get the feeling that if a new sale walked into the office he’d almost have to run and have a cold shower before he’d be able to hand it off, such is the energy and enthusiasm this man has for his product.

“I’ve sold Bruce every one of his Isuzus,” John says with immense pride. “They’ve been great machines. I’ve traded many of them back, and sold them again. There’s two on the go now. One’s in the workshop and the other’s down at the painters.”

When asked about the Stephenson relationship, John had this to say: “Stephensons – to me the quintessential Kiwi rural carrier, their operations and values. They’re not a small rural carrier any more, but the values haven’t moved. He’s very honest, Bruce, he has integrity, his handshake is still his bond.

me not just for me’, it tells you all you need to know about the man. Old school.

John Somerville’s about to start a new retirement adventure in Fiji.

Fantastic people. I’ve known them a long time.”

With that we were off in the ute to see the next two lucky machines that will go into the burgundy, red and green and play their part in the history of this remarkable company.

Deakin Trucks Isuzu managing director Russel Deakin said: “John has worked with me, not just for me, since 1985.

I have really appreciated his input, knowledge, and views on the product, the business and transport industry in general. Another ‘old school’ individual moves on and he’s going to be a very difficult person to replace. I would like to take this opportunity to wish John and his wife Lorraine all the very best for the future.”

Everyone at New Zealand Trucking magazine would like to wish John a fantastic retirement, although we just can’t help thinking that in 10 years time there’ll have been an unexpected spike in the sale of Isuzus in Fiji. 

John’s sold Bruce every one of his Isuzus and the product has been a pillar of the Stephenson success in modern times. Number eight’s nearing the end of her term in the iconic Hawke’s Bay company.

Fifty years of constant growth Story by Mike Isle Photos supplied

Careful planning, good timing and a will to take on the big challenges have seen TRT – Tidd Ross Todd Ltd – hit half a century of constant growth.

T

RT’s history, 50 years of it, is one of courage, camaraderie, and common sense.

Courage, because TRT is among the most innovative trailer builders New Zealand has produced, and is one of only a few – so far – to successfully take on the Aussies; camaraderie because that was at the root of how the company started and is still a guiding principle; and common sense because the founding fathers had it, forged their company from it, and subsequent generations never lost sight of it.

Bruce Carden is the manufacturing director of TRT. He and engineering director Robert Carden are the sons of one the company’s founders, Dave Carden. Dave is retired and the other originals – Jack Tidd, Jim Ross and Norm Todd – have

passed on, but their ethos of hard work, innovation, and competiveness they instilled in TRT lives on, and was crucial in the decision to move into the Australian market.

To gain an understanding of how that came about, we need to go back a bit. In fact, a long way back, to the years leading up to the company’s formation in 1967. It was centred around Waikato.

There were two mates, Jim Ross and Norm Todd, recently demobbed from the air force and wanting to start a repair shop. With the help of local cheese maker Jim Wallace they opened Ross Todd Motors in Leamington on the outskirts of Cambridge.

The workshop is still there.

For a time, the boys did it rough but they were old mates and they worked it through, and the business, mainly cutting down old cars and converting them to half-ton utilities, saw the company grow and move to Cambridge, where Ross Todd Motors still operates.

That growth didn’t go unnoticed by another local, Jack Tidd, who, along with Aucklander Ray Vincent, was the young company’s first equipment supplier. Jack bought into the business.

With all that going on, their attention was naturally focused solely on their business – not on a little engineering workshop in Putaruru and its owner, a young fitter-turner barely out of his apprenticeship. Bruce Carden takes up the story.

“Dad was making significant waves building crane carriers.

Jack Tidd was in the same business. The difference was that Jack assembled his from imported components and Dad built his own from scratch, and along with it a reputation for innovation.

“The competition was pretty fierce back then, though it was never personal. Jack Tidd, being the clever business operator, decided to merge his company with Ross Todd Motors and the offer also went out to Dad’s Southside Motors and Engineering – to form what would become Jack Tidd – Ross Todd Ltd, New Zealand’s only specialised crane carrier manufacturer.”

For some reason Dave was never interested in having Carden

added to what was already a cumbersome company name (mercifully later shortened to TRT), but crucially for what was to come, he would insist on a third of the shares in the new company.

That traction and the innovation Dave Carden was justly renowned for would set the seal on what TRT was about to become.

The new company continued with the profitable manufacturing lines at the time. They built TIDD logging jinkers and TIDD trailing axles, which were supplied and fitted to all makes of trucks. The cranes and TIDD crane carriers (the company’s staple), service vehicles and transporters – particularly transporters – stayed. The company was thinking and building big. So, too, was the country, and that could not have happened at a better time for TRT. Rob Muldoon’s ‘Think Big’ policies were coming online and with them the need to transport heavy equipment through often difficult terrain. That imparted in TRT two immediate mandates. The first was that the company would have to build a lot of equipment and quickly. There were other crane carrier builders by this time and imports were making their mark, but none had the scale or the resources of TRT. Within a very short period, TRT had produced 200 crane carriers, by far the bulk of that required for the New Zealand market.

The second mandate was the need to think fast and innovatively. The mixed terrain of New Zealand and the fastevolving earthmoving equipment and cranes TRT trailers were carrying didn’t lend themselves – often – to off the shelf solutions. Tailor-made trailers became the norm, and TRT invested heavily in research and development, and continues to do so today.

Even so, the go-to company was struggling to meet demand and with its new Hamilton plant working to capacity, TRT started importing fully built up Grove cranes. That, too, continues today: TRT has an agency association with Grove that goes back to 1972, though now under the auspices of American-based company Manitowoc.

TRT was the first Grove distributor outside of the continental United States.

So, as Bruce puts, cranes were in the TRT bloodstream from the beginning. The point now was that the stream was about to increase dramatically and start flowing across the Tasman.

In 2011 development began on what TRT would later characterise as the world’s safest pick and carry crane – the TIDD PC25, a compact 25-tonne capacity articulating crane.

36

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

The PC25 was the first articulated crane to be designed with a genuine in-built fully certified Roll Over Protection System.

Moreover, with Wabco ABS fitted as standard, the TIDD PC25 has the shortest forward projection and tightest turning radius in class, providing outstanding manoeuvrability.

Bruce describes the design process that led to the development of the Tidd PC25 and, eventually, TRT’s fullscale assault on the Australian market.

“We had been exporting specialist trailers to Australia since 1992, so it wasn’t entirely foreign to us. But what we did see was a possible opportunity in articulated cranes. The dominant crane over there, working mainly in the mining industry, was the iconic Franna brand of cranes. There were probably about 3500 Frannas in use at the time and the company had been in business for about 30 years, so for us to break into the market was always going to be a big ask.

“But that coincided with the Global Financial Crisis and whilst everybody – including ourselves – was hit hard, the Australians recovered more quickly.

“That’s when and why we decided to go after the Franna dominance with what we considered a better and safer crane.”

Bruce says the development of the PC25 is the perfect example of the TRT collaborative approach. “We brought in everybody from the crane service side, the manufacturing sector, the design team and sales department, to come up with a product that frankly from a specification point of view, can’t be beaten.”

The TRT shareholders cut the cake to signify the start of the next 50 years. From left: Robert, Carolien, Jenny, Dave, Mary and Bruce Carden.

System and WABCO ABS. Here the pair complete a double lift of a Grove Rough Terrain Crane for transport at TRT’s Hamilton site.

There is a design and manufacturing acumen in TRT that goes way back and as we have already noted, spans generations.

But those are only two sides of a successful manufacturing operation. Certainly, they are enough to produce quality equipment. But selling it requires other factors to come into play. One is timing. Robert recalls that the move into Australia was perfectly timed: the bottom was dropping out of the New Zealand market but Australia was relatively buoyant.

“The exchange rate was also in our favour and manufacturing costs in Australia were comparatively high. We would have a price advantage from day one.”

The other factor leading to business success is savvy – commercial acumen and expertise – and TRT has had it from the very beginning. The founding fathers knew how to identify a market opportunity and then meet it head on. But they were essentially trailer builders and that is why TRT has always had an independent board of directors to provide the builders with business advice, and it was a board recommendation, and then ultimate a family decision Robert says, to act on that advice.

Business acumen is also the reason for Kevin Chubb. Kevin retired recently as TRT’s managing director. He was previously a management consultant. It was his business acumen – certainly not his trailer-building ability – which has seen Kevin credited with steering the company through more than two decades of consolidated growth. It wasn’t meant to be that way; Kevin was originally employed by the company as a consultant in 1997 to prepare a three-year strategic plan. That timing coincided with the retirement of Dave Carden, at the age of 67, and the need for a new managing director. Kevin fitted the bill.

So, everything was in place. The company had it all: reputation, resources, culture, manufacturing expertise, sales and management expertise.

TRT was ready to take on Australia and become a truly Australasian company.

The first step was to send Bruce and his family to open a Brisbane office. It wasn’t easy, recalls Bruce, far from easy.

It started strong, though. TRT’s reputation had preceded it; the company was respected for its long involvement with

Grove, and its specialist trailers – particularly house-movers – had found a ready and sustainable market. And that was without a physical office in Australia.

However, they wanted more, and Bruce was sent over to study the markets, sort out the opportunities. He found them in lowloaders, or ‘floats’ as they are called in Australia. Moving heavy vehicles, particularly for the asphalt industry, was a cumbersome business in Australia, often involving multiple vehicles and trips. Noting this, Bruce returned with a design requirement to build a lowloader that could carry three pieces of equipment for the asphalt industry at once, in one trip.

So, the TRT Mid Tipping Deck Lowloader was an immediate success. TRT had traction. All through innovation.

But the initial impetus was not to last. Bruce had returned to New Zealand and at that point 70% of the trailer builds were being exported to Australia, making up for a depleted economy in New Zealand – “broadening the load” as Kevin Chubb wanted and anticipated. But then infrastructure in Australia went through a bad spell and 70% plummeted to 5%.

It recovered with the advent of the TIDD PC25, but Franna saw the danger and a price war began.

“It got to the point,” says Bruce, “that the market suffered from a dramatic slow-down and pricing would not fix it. We decided to hold production and focus on other activities while the market for pick and carry cranes recovered.

“We are now back in the build business and exports to Australia have resumed.”

It was the kind of strategic move TRT is renowned for.

There is little they do that is not the result of careful planning

but they also can react quickly – and mostly successfully – to unforeseen situations.

“Part of the reason,” says Robert, “is the family culture.”

And he is not referring solely to the Carden family.

The company has 200 staff, 170 in Hamilton. It is a multifaceted company: trailer designers and builders, crane sales, service and parts, truck and trailer parts, sales and service.

In its 50 years in business, it has built trailers that have become legendary – on both sides of the Tasman. TRT is known for taking up the challenge with inventiveness, with innovation and with success.

According to Robert, the company’s success today and its celebration of 50 years in business is attributable to every member of its staff and the shared commitment to produce something special. To be special.

“We are extremely proud of the TRT brand, its history and what it stands for. It is our people who have done that for us.

Even to the point, which is unusual in our industry, of giving us a global reputation.”

There will be few in Brisbane, and virtually none in Manitowoc’s home base in Pennsylvania, who will have heard of Waikato locations such as Putaruru or Leamington. Very few even inside TRT know the contribution to their company of a cheese maker named Jim Wallace or a bloke from the big smoke called Ray Vincent. But they know Tidd, Ross, Todd and the Cardens.

They are all part of a 50-year history of a company that so often has made history itself. 

rowing up on a pig farm, Hawkins River majority owner Dwayne Molloy has been around trucks and farming his whole life. So, when the chance came up to get a ‘project’ truck, Dwayne already knew what he wanted.

With previous owners that included Lightning Transport Ltd, Mt Wellington Nurseries, Cell Technology Ltd and Oropi Quarries Ltd, the 1989 T2670 International had some rust in and around the cab but was otherwise in pretty good shape.

Dwayne drove the truck home from Mount Maunganui, crossing the International over into the South Island for probably the first time in its life, and got on with the task of getting the truck back to pristine condition straight away.

The T2670 was taken to Blackwells for rust repairs and paint, and the signage was applied by Paul Walters at Identity Signs. Dwayne had a custom bumper made by Ali Arc that suits the truck nicely, giving it that deep but tough look.

Canterbury Stoneguards worked their magic, making a couple of brackets to accommodate the new stoneguard and secure it in place. The truck’s 6-stud artillery wheels give it the ‘old school’ look and Dwayne added a pair of West Coast mirrors, 7-inch Hella lights – which replaced the existing set – along with a pair of 5-inch twin stacks up the back of the cab alongside twin air rams.

On a hot North Canterbury day, the 350 Cummins engine makes a beautiful sound, especially with the windows down. Accompanied by a 15-speed Roadranger transmission, and the yardstick 44,000lb Rockwell diffs on Hendrickson walking beam rear end, the International just looks right at home operating in both the paddocks, on the dusty shingle back roads between farms, or travelling on main highways.

On the day New Zealand Trucking magazine visited the Hawkins River operation everyone was hoping for dry weather so the grass could be cut for baleage. The weather gods accommodated their wishes and everything was in full swing with the tractors and balers working side-by-side like a welloiled machine. Dwayne started loading up the bales to be delivered to a nearby farm where they were wrapped. 

JUST TRUCKIN’ AROUND with

We specify genuine for your peace of mind

Brent Ankins (Left) and Robert Tautari

Brent Ankins Faye Lougher only had to step outside for this Just Truckin’ Around as Brent Ankins was driving the tanker delivering water to her rural property.

Brent says he initially started working for JB’s Environmental Limited in Levin helping owner John Matangi with some firewood.

“Then I was moved to driving, and I’m still there seven years later.”

Brent has been driving trucks for about five years now. The day he came to deliver water at Faye’s he was in the 1990 ERF 64 CU325E, but says he also drives

the 8-wheeler. Helping him with the water delivery was Robert Tautari.

Before working for JB’s Brent built swimming pools for Pools R Us in Tauranga.

“Now I mainly do truck driving and water deliveries. I love getting out and meeting people I suppose.”

Brent can’t think of anything wrong with the industry today, saying even the roads are getting better.

The vexing question of guitar or drums was quickly answered. “I’m a drummer.”

James Nepia James Nepia was taking a break in Sanson when Faye Lougher drove past and decided he’d be a perfect candidate for a Just Truckin’ Around profile.

Driving a 2015 Kenworth K200 with an Eaton 18-speed auto gearbox, James was on his way back to home base in Ohakune.

James has been driving for Lindsay Taylor Transport Ltd for about 13 years, but says he’s been driving trucks for about 30 years in total.

In winter he carries produce, but in summer he carries bees, saying they are often carted up from the South Island.

Driving trucks was something James had always wanted to do.

“I just wanted to do it,” he says. “I love getting to meet a lot of other drivers from all over the country.”

A common refrain, James doesn’t think there are enough young drivers coming through the industry.

“We need more drivers who start at the bottom and work their way up.”

The vexing question, rugby or soccer, resulted in the answer “both”.

Dean was in the Cummins EGR powered Kenworth T658 he pilots for Lareema Transport based out of Bullsbrook on the northern outskirts of Perth.

‘Deano’ as he is known, has been driving for 32 years and follows in the footsteps of his father who was also a driver. Although he served his time as a Mack mechanic, Deano is a KW man and speaks affectionately of his 658 christened ‘Maverick’, which he describes as being “sure-footed with a heart bigger than Phar Lap”.

The ability to clear his head is the best bit about driving he reckoned, before adding that there were no bad bits…except when you are tired.

For the vexing question, Deano was asked if he would he prefer to have a tooth pulled or his prostate checked? “It depends who checking it” came the unsurprisingly humorous response. 

TOP TRUCK

Big South Island Swede specced to the max Story and photos by Craig McCauley

Many vehicles have carried the Ernest Adams brand since its inception in the late 1920s, however there can be no disputing that Canterbury contractor Steve Richards’ Scania R620 would be one of the most spectacular.

A

dorned with graphics replicating the iconic Kiwi baker’s Chunky ‘n Funky Rocky Road slice, the Richards’ Scania is a regular sight on State Highway 1 between Christchurch and Dunedin carrying Goodman Fielder product.

With a new run starting in 2017, the SJ Richards operation required a new addition. Steve selected the Scania R620 LB8x4MSA due to the overall package available in terms of running costs, comfort and the ability to include some very advanced technology to make the driver’s time behind the wheel more pleasurable.

An all-Scandinavian drivetrain was specified, comprising the DC16 17 620 Euro 5 SCR engine producing 456kw (620hp) @1900rpm and 3000nm (2213lb/ft) of torque. A manual 14-speed GRSO905R transmission turns 3.07:1 ratio RB662 and R660 rear axles which travel on a Scania 19000kg rated rear air suspension featuring electronic levelling control

Steve Richards is a passionate truck enthusiast and credits much of the success of his operation to his “reliable and loyal staff”.

and rear axle load display incorporated into the truck’s trip computer.

Safety features built into the R620 include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which assists the driver in maintaining a consistent gap between the truck and vehicles ahead. This functions by analysing road speed, and data from the engine as well as the truck’s retarder and braking system, allowing for a time gap pre-set by the driver to be consistently maintained.

Scania’s Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB) were also specified. The AEB system is designed to alert a driver of potential collision danger by means of information provided by long-distance radar technology and a forward-facing camera. Detail is relayed to a central processing unit which also systematically analyses further data supplied by the truck’s control systems, allowing for accurate judgements to be made at road speeds.

A WABCO TailGUARD system is fitted to the trailer – automatically activated when reverse gear is chosen – it sets the outline marker lights flashing and can be programmed to stop the trailer by applying the brakes automatically at a programmable distance between 30cm and 200cm from a loading area, allowing the driver to then take over and reverse the last few centimetres into whatever position is required.

The R19N Streamline high sleeper cab is adorned with numerous embellishments including a driver’s side air bag, a drive-cam and a reversing camera as well as the usual suite of communication equipment. Customised leather seats have been fitted as well as a fridge/freezer, microwave and TV/DVD player, allowing the driver to spend their break time in comfort.

Each body has aluminium plank floors and both are fitted with Thermo King Spectrum refrigeration units. Divider walls provide the ability to cart chilled, frozen and ambient freight within the same unit.

Steve wanted to emphasise that the success of the operation rested with his “reliable and loyal staff ” who work a rotating roster driving each of the three trucks that make up the SJ Richards fleet.

The New Zealand Trucking magazine Top Truck for March 2018 shows how spectacular the result can be when passionate people combine with sophisticated technology: the result is show-stopping. 

GOOD ON YA MATE

Rima Matangi – the right man at the right time

O

ur Good on Ya Mate recipient this month is Rima Matangi, who went out of his way to help after another truckie suddenly took ill and collapsed.

Rangi Te Anini was on his way to Taupo when things started going wrong.

We’ll let Rangi tell what happened in his own words.

“I got blood poisoning after getting a tooth extracted. I didn’t listen (typical guy) and never took all my antibiotics.

A week later I was driving the truck and felt really cold so I turned the heater to full and rang the Healthline number.”

The nurse told Rangi to stop and grab some Panadol to try and control his temperature.

“I got out of the truck at Caltex Bombay and walked up to the window and asked for water and Panadol, but before the attendant returned I collapsed on the ground.”

Rangi says his truck door was still open and the truck still running, and he had no way of getting back to the truck as the station attendant had called for an ambulance.

“Luckily for me Rima (Matangi) drove past the Caltex, saw my truck and thought ‘oh sweet bro, I’ll go say hi’. He pulled up next to my truck and started taking photos of both our units, wondering why I’m taking so long. Then he walked around to the Caltex window side and saw me, and rushed straight over.”

Rangi calls Rima a ‘legend’ and no one would argue with that.

“He got into my truck and found the work phone and called my employer (Haz Haulage) and explained what had happened. Rima got my personal gear out of the cab and locked it all up for my employer. Then he stayed with me until the ambulance arrived and helped me into the ambulance.”

52

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

When Rangi arrived at the hospital his temperature was a staggering 39.8 degrees.

“With the heater on in the truck I was slowly heating up. If I had the air con on I may have been okay, but who knows.”

Rima, who works for Daniel and Ross Fitchett at Fitchett Linehaul Ltd, says he would do that for anyone in need of help; that’s why we think he’s a very worthy recipient of New Zealand Trucking’s Good On Ya Mate award.

Rangi says he would also like to say a big thank you to his employer.

“Haz Haulage were mind-blowing in making sure I was looked after.

Everything a top employer should be.

As for Rima, there are still a lot of good truckers we all call whanau family on the road! I’m out of hospital and back on the road again thanks to him.”

AS WE WERE going to press we were contacted by Tim and Mia Haerewa of Haerewa Contracting Ltd, ownerdrivers for Toll in Blenheim. Mia had heard about this nomination, and news that a truck driver in Blenheim had risked his life to move his truck away from fuel pumps prompted her to tell us about another heroic story involving Rima.

Mia says Rima was a driver for them for a few years doing the Christchurch– Picton–Christchurch run.

“Four years ago Rima also risked his life to save our asset, the truck and trailer. It was the middle of the night and the trailer went up in flames while he was on his way to catch the ferry. He jumped out, got between the unit that was fully engulfed, and disconnected the truck from the trailer to save the customer’s freight and our truck! He sustained burns to his hands, etc. and we have never felt like we’ve been able to thank him enough.”

Rima Matangi sprung into action when his mate Rangi Te Anini collapsed, making sure he was all right, making sure his possessions and truck were secured, and notifying Rangi’s employer. An outstanding bloke and hugely deserving of our March ‘Good On Ya Mate’ award.

When Mia heard Rima was being recognised for helping Rangi she asked if we could also pass on their thanks for his actions four years ago.

“Please can you thank him for this and let him know we will always be eternally grateful. In our opinion truck operators always need to be recognised, as they keep this county moving.” 

WOMEN IN TRANSPORT

A special woman indeed

Margaret Ivory 1848 – 1920 Story by Russell Walsh Photos as credited

Was this New Zealand’s first woman in transport? Women may be a common sight in New Zealand’s transport industry today, but in the early 1900s they were a rarity, especially one like Margaret Ivory, who ran her own transport business in Wellington.

O

riginally from the UK, Margaret Morgan married brick worker George Ivory in Kent, England, in 1874. This was Margaret’s second marriage.

In September 1883, the couple and their children boarded

the sailing ship Darra in London, bound for Australia as assisted immigrants. They arrived in Brisbane on 28 December 1883.

George died in Sydney in May 1901, and in 1903, together with daughter Alice and sons Charles and Stephen, Margaret moved to New Zealand, arriving in Wellington on the steamship Warrimoo.

The 1905–1906 New Zealand Electoral Roll shows the family living together at 233 Adelaide Road in Wellington.

The occupation of the two boys is listed as carters, carriers.

In 1907 Margaret made an application to the Wellington City Engineers Department to build a cart shed on their property. Soon after this the family moved to another property close by in Hanson Street. Why this move was made is not clear, but it could be related to Margaret starting to buy ‘motor lorries’ for the business, as Grace’s Guide, a repository of information on British industrial history, reports that in 1910 the company “imported a Belhaven Motor Vehicle, which was the first motorised trucking vehicle in the country”.

industry for a number of years, including being an office bearer for the Wellington Master Carriers Association in 1924, and the Wellington General Carriers and Customhouse and Forwarding Agents Industrial Union of Employers in 1941. He died in Wellington in 1953. After his death a general manager looked after the business on behalf of the 11 beneficiaries of his will.

The entire family is buried together in Karori Cemetery in Wellington.  Footnote: The sailing ship Darra that brought the family to Queensland in 1883 ended her days as a coal hulk in Lyttelton Harbour. Her remains were still visible in 1990.

The information along the side of the deck said M. Ivory General Carrier, Telephone 2-3-2-1. The 1916 Wellington City Council vehicle registration records show a 3-ton Belhaven registered to Ivory, registration number WN1454.

(Back in these days vehicle registration was a function of local authorities, some 100-plus nationwide.) In 1920 the company had also registered a 24hp Leyland, and by 1923 a 25hp Vulcan (WN6942) and a 21hp Chevrolet (WN7569).

Margaret was still in control of the business in 1917, as she is cited as the defendant in a Supreme Court claim for £2000 damages due to an accident involving a motor lorry driven by one of her employees.

Shortly after this the control of the business passed to Stephen and was renamed S. Ivory.

Margaret died in October 1920, aged 72, and not long after her death the company moved its office closer to the Wellington waterfront, to the corner of Whitmore Street and Customhouse Quay, but continued to use the original site in Hanson Street for its vehicles for another 50 years. In 1922 the company was registered as a private company with a paid up capital of £2000.

The business was still using horses in 1923, as an article in the February 16 edition of The Evening Post reports that two horses drawing a lorry owned by S. Ivory bolted after taking advantage of the driver forgetting to chain the wheels of the lorry, smashing into a house occupied by a police sergeant.

In August 1929 the company was advertising stable manure for sale, but in 1936 it was advertising several double-horse lorries and spring drays for sale. Stephen was active in the

Kumeu from strength to strength

Story by Carl Kirkbeck Photos as credited

After a highly successful first show in 2016, expectations were high in November last year for round two. It’s fair to say we were not disappointed.

T

he weather was not quite what TV3’s Ingrid Hipkiss had promised us; however that was no deterrent to the organisers and participants at the Kumeu Truck and Machinery Show held late last year. The word on the street as to just how successful the 2016 show was had obviously spread throughout the industry as there was an increased number of rigs on display. The extremes to which many went in preparing rigs for presentation, not to mention the distances some competitors had travelled to participate, was evidence the show is cementing its place on the calendar. There were a number of attractions alongside the main event to entertain and captivate onlookers, like the Fire Brigade display and Mimico Excavator Competition.

Congratulations to Karen, Amy and the team, and special thanks to all the helpers, especially Haley and the team from JLT. We cannot wait to return this year. 

THE TRUCKS OF NEW ZEALAND POST

The horse has bolted

Story by Russell Walsh

The first recorded ownership of a motor vehicle by the Post Office to move mail was in 1908. Initially there was doubt in the mind of officials of the reliability of motorcars and lorries but by 1915 this doubt had gone and horses and carts quickly disappeared from the main populated areas of the country. As the seat of government, Wellington led the way, but by the mid-1920s vehicle fleets were established in Auckland and Christchurch.

An Albion platform lorry that entered service with the Post & Telegraph Department (P&T) in 1921. It had a 4-cylinder 20hp engine with a payload of 1½ ton. From the firewall backwards the cab and tray were built and fitted locally. This one was built by the P&T Workshops in Wellington – the buildings in the background – and cost approximately £935 ($81,530 today).

INTERNATIONAL TRUCKSTOP

This shot shows just how much longer (1.3m) the eXc cab was compared with a regular Topline 4-Series.

Now stretch and relax

Story by Brian Weatherley

Europe’s long-haul truck drivers deserve bigger bedrooms. But their living room remains firmly fixed due to EU length laws, despite past attempts by truck makers to offer longer cabs.

S

ixteen years ago Scania launched “The ultimate longhaulage machine” – their words. Unveiled at the 2002 Hanover Truck Show, their eXc concept tractor was based on a regular 4-Series cabover R Topline sleeper, but stretched an extra 1.3m behind the doors.

Everything forward of the B-post was a normal 4-Series cabin, while behind it was a cavernous living room.

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

The eXc (the initials stood for ‘extended cab’) was the result of talks Scania had with drivers who slept at least four nights a week in their trucks. Speaking at the time, eXc project manager Johan Lundén declared: “These meetings showed that there is a gap between how drivers live in their vehicles today and how they would ideally like to live.” He then added, “Today’s length restrictions resulting in relatively short cabs are the main constraint on improved comfort…The aim of the new [eXc] cab environment is to give the driver a better chance for rest and recreation between shifts behind the wheel, thus promoting active safety.”

What eXc certainly did was to finally offer European longhaul drivers, who regularly sleep in a box measuring 2.50 x 2.25 x 2.2m (or less), the kind of overnight space they could only dream of…no pun intended. Unfortunately, the one problem with an eXc was that it couldn’t couple up to a standard 13.6m semi-trailer and still stay within the European Union 16.5m

maximum length limit for artic combinations. Undeterred by that major stumbling block, and presumably hoping eXc had created sufficient interest to prompt Brussels’ bureaucrats to revisit artic length rules, a year later Scania put it into limited production, launching it on to the market as the Longline.

Offered exclusively with its then most-powerful 580hp V8 engine, Longline debuted at the 2003 Amsterdam truck show where it promptly stole the show. After all, there was nothing else like it.

A unique Longline feature (as with the eXc before it) was the fact that its main 900 x 2000mm sprung mattress bed was located in-line along the extended side wall, and not across the rear wall as in a conventional sleeper cab. Being permanently fixed in place you didn’t need to un-make the bed during the day either. On the opposite side of the cab there was a separate armchair and foldaway table, while the rear wall contained a microwave, fridge and coffee maker – interspersed with acres

of locker space scattered throughout the Longline’s elongated living area. At night you could watch a flat-screen TV (with DVD player) or listen to a powerful sound system. Yes sir, Longline had everything including the kitchen sink – actually a washstand with sink and running water, but you get the idea.

To keep you cosy Longline had extra insulation, while side windows behind the driver and passenger doors and dual, glazed roof hatches let extra daylight into the living area.

Finally, to handle the greater cab volume, the heating and airconditioning were also upgraded. I’ve slept in both eXc and Longline, and they were two of the best night-outs I’ve had in a European sleeper. The space inside was amazing, while the level of comfort was way beyond anything then available on the market. Yet once you were sat behind the wheel the Longline driving compartment was no different from any other 4-Series Topline tractor. It was only when you parked up, stood up straight (yes, you heard it right) turned and walked back into New Zealand Trucking

Longline’s 2.3m high bedroom/living room that you realised how things should be. I drove an eXc in Sweden with a regular trailer soon after it was launched, and Longline a year later in Germany with special dispensation to run at 17.74m, rather than the normal 16.5m. On the road you naturally had to allow for the trailer’s slightly greater cut-in on corners – and also remember you had a longer rig when backing into a parking space – but basically it was just another day in the V8 Topline office.

Sadly, despite all the positive press coverage on the two stretched Scanias, Brussels refused to budge on 16.5m.

So unless they were prepared to run with a shorter trailer, Longline was never going to be on the shopping list of the average fleet haulier. After fulfilling its promise to build 50, Scania quietly dropped Longline in 2004 when the 4-Series’ successor, the R-Series, arrived. So is that the end of the Longline story? Actually no, because a number of specialist convertors in Holland have continued to build extended Scanias a la Longline based on the R-Series – and my guess is that it’s only a matter of time before they try doing it on a New Generation cab too. So the Longline concept, if not from the factory, definitely lives on.

Volvo also flirted with extended sleepers in Europe. For a brief time from 2009, its FH Globetrotter XXL cab, originally developed for the Australian market and stretched by a more modest 245mm, was sold up here. The main target market was Norway (which has a longer 17.5m artic length limit) so hitching it up to a 13.6m trailer wasn’t a problem. Admittedly it sold in modest numbers – some XXLs were even sold to UK operators running with short tank trailers – but once again it highlighted the attractions of a longer cab. While XXL had the same roof height as a standard XL Globetrotter, its extra 1.5m3 inside permitted a full metre-wide sprung mattress bottom bed, compared with the XL’s 850mm wide bunk. I drove an XXLcabbed FH16.700 in Norway (where they only sold it with the 16-litre lump) and once again it was a non-event, there being little difference in handling from a normal 16.5m combination, though I certainly appreciated the wider bed at night.

As many New Zealand Trucking magazine readers will know, the Aussie Globetrotter XXL cab was phased out down-under when the current FH range (with its new cab) arrived in 2012.

People tell me it’s been sorely missed. But hark! There’s good news for antipodean COE tractor operators. At last May’s Brisbane Truck Show Volvo Trucks Australia unveiled a new

64

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

FH XXL Concept Cab some 200mm longer than the current XL sleeper. Speaking at the launch, VGA vice president Volvo Trucks Australia Mitch Peden declared: “Showcasing the FH XXL cab signals our intention to bring this project to commercial reality.” How long before that happens I can’t say, but it’s definitely a case of watch this (enlarged) space.

Meanwhile, if length rules mean you can’t build ‘em longer, one way to squeeze a quart into a pint pot is to have a ‘pop-out’ sleeper extension. Back in 2000 DAF claimed a “Breakthrough in cab design” with its Xtreme Future Concept tractor that featured a slide-out rear extension from the cab.

However, years later the folks in Eindhoven told me that the concept raised a number of engineering issues, not least dealing with a large aperture in the rear cab wall to accommodate the slide-out pod. “From the point of view of cab strength, we don’t see chances for the slide-out cab extensions in the shortrun. These will need totally different new cab reinforcements.”

Iveco also considered pop-out sleeper pods – it being one of the ideas that came out of the Glider project, its stunning concept tractor shown at the 2010 Hanover show. But again, nothing came of it.

As far as we know no one’s offering a pop-out extension on a European sleeper. That’s not to say you can’t get one.

Over in the States, Lippert Components, a leading supplier to the truck, emergency vehicle, trailer, RV and marine industries, has developed its own extending rear pod called the Super Slide In-Wall Slide-Out system for US Class 8 trucks that adds an impressive extra 16 cubic feet when deployed. And closer to home (that’s yours, not mine) visitors to the 2015 Brisbane Truck Show would have spotted an Aussie-spec International ProStar tractor featuring a neat slide-out rear ‘kitchenette’ extension (rather than a bed) consisting of a fridge, coffee maker, microwave and extra storage cupboards. However, once again the show tractor was designed primarily as a concept for the truck show – not least to help draw attention to the reintroduction of the International brand in Oz, as well as to gauge the level of interest in the slide-out feature. So far it’s not warranted further development.

If pop-out sleepers were to be tried in Europe, the fact that our artic combinations tend to be closely coupled (not least to stay within the overall 16.5m limit) means you’d probably have to unhitch the trailer at night in order to use one, then pull it back in the next morning before coupling up again and hitting the road. I’m not sure how many drivers would want to

do that. So until Brussels significantly relents on artic lengths, no truck maker is going to build a low-volume, niche market, stretched sleeper that can’t be used with a normal trailer. The goal is to build lots of normal length sleeper cab tractors that meet the mass-market (and regulatory) needs of as many EU countries as possible.

Ironically, the European Commission IS planning to relax artic length laws – by some 80cm – but it’s to accommodate a so-called ‘aero-nose’ on a tractor to improve fuel consumption, cut CO² emissions, and also give drivers better all-round vision and provide an improved collision impact zone. Tantalisingly, within the EU proposals are two specific

references that “…the potential gain in the volume of the cab should improve the driver’s safety and comfort”, while adding, “The revision of Directive 96/53/EC [the EU rule covering vehicle weights and dimensions] does indeed provide the possibility for manufacturers to extend the cab space for drivers when elongating cabins.” To put it frankly, I can’t see drivers being at the head of the queue when it comes enjoying an extra 80cm. Moreover, as aero-cabs aren’t likely to appear on European roads much before 2022, if not later, and when they do they won’t be mandatory, I’m not optimistic we’ll see bigger sleeper cabs in Europe for a long, long, long time. 

AUSSIE ANGLES

Highway Heaven ROAD STAR Story and photos by Howard Shanks

Western Star’s 4964FXT Road Star is the latest limited edition vehicle to roll onto Australian highways and it boasts a long list of five-star features commemorating Western Star’s 50th anniversary in 2017.

“Y

ou’ll be impressed when you see inside,” Western Star’s Pat Cook said as he passed the keys to the Road Star.

We’ve been keen to see this limited edition truck since rumours about its impending release some time back. Now, here in the foyer of Western Star’s Australian HQ at Wacol, Queensland, brochures of the new Road Star certainly painted a glamorous picture of a machine that would more than stand out in the crowd.

As you open the driver’s door you’re greeted by the custom black leather door trim with a lavish white leather inlay panel and 6” top-of-the-range Alpine speakers that form part of the 5.1 surround sound system. Then as you step up into the cabin you notice the synthetic wooden floor. The seats are premium ISRI with matching upholstery.

One advantage for the interior designers is the Road Star is based on the 4900 series platform; consequently there is no engine intrusion into the cabin. Combined with the dashmounted Eaton UltraShift PLUS transmission control panel, this means there is plenty of space to move around between the seats.

In commemorating the company’s 50-year heritage, the Road Star takes its name from two eras.

“Most blokes would remember the original Road Boss that was produced here at Wacol by the White Corporation before it evolved into Western Star. The model name draws on those roots with ‘Road’ from the Road Boss and ‘Star’ from Western Star,” Pat said.

According to Pat, the Road Star’s driver environment boasts a comfortable and practical living environment with all the features that modern drivers would typically use and need when they’re on the road away from home.

Standing between the driver and passenger seats looking into the Stratosphere sleeper, our first impression is of a

66

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

spacious upmarket Winnebago motorhome. The interior of the 54” sleeper was customised by Gold Coast-based specialised off-road caravan-camper, motorhome and expedition vehicle manufacturer SLRV. The company builds high quality vehicles where spacious live-aboard facilities are required.

“When you visit SLRV’s facility and see how much attention to detail they put into their vehicles it really instils confidence that their equipment in this Road Star is built much like our Western Star trucks and more than capable of enduring our Australian conditions,” Pat said.

On the driver’s side of the sleeper there’s a sizable counter top that houses a sink with a double tap which pumps hot and cold water as well as potable water. Underneath the counter is a set of drawers; the top drawer houses the cutlery, cups, glasses and plates. Below this is the door for the microwave oven, while a spacious 65-litre fridge/freezer fills the bottom slot.

Located in the drawer directly behind the driver’s seat is just what every Australian truck driver needs, a coffee maker on a slide-out drawer.

All the drawers and cupboards are fitted with secure locks to ensure they won’t open while the truck is in motion.

Above the counter and next to the rear sleeper wall is an upright cupboard and wardrobe space. Along the remainder of the rear wall is a stylish two-seater leather couch. On the left-hand side of the sleeper directly behind the passenger seat is another cupboard with a foldout desk that is easily accessed when seated on the couch. And it’s here where you find all the switches and controls required to operate the interior workings of the cabin. The controls for the hot water and chassismounted Ecowind auxiliary air conditioner are located above

the counter on the right side of the sleeper.

Standing in the sleeper there is no visible bunk. However, look closely and there is a slight giveaway to its whereabouts.

Three steel rods fixed between the counter top and ceiling are not merely to give the kitchenette a fashionable retro style look.

These are the guides that the bed uses when it lowers itself from the ceiling.

To lower the bed, simply ensure everything is clear on the bench tops, and then flick the button on the console and the bed slowly lowers itself. In the process the wardrobe lowers into a hidden space behind the cupboards. The process takes a little over a minute for the full-size single bed complete with innerspring mattress to lower itself on to the counter top. A small slide-out stepladder conveniently located behind the driver’s seat provides easy access to the bed. With the bed lowered there is plenty of space around the sleeping area and no obstacles to bang your head on should you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night.

After the driver has had his required sleep, he simply makes the bed and flicks the switch to return the bed back to the roof.

However there’s more. After a long hard day on the road, you’ve cooked your dinner, washed the dishes, and now you can enjoy a hot shower. The shower cubicle can either be located on the ground beside the right-hand side of the sleeper for the not so shy, or on the deck plate between the trailer and sleeper for the more modest. No more disgusting truck stop showers.

Now you’re clean, you can sit in the lounge and use your laptop on the desk or utilise the on-board entertainment system. This system includes a number of different essentials to give the driver that extra feeling of luxury.

Fixed to the inside of the angled roof at the front of the Stratosphere sleeper is a 32” curved TV screen. Its location is perfect when the driver wants to unwind on the couch. While sitting on the couch the driver can insert a USB stick in the handy slot to their left and access its contents, whether audio or video, or slip a DVD into the Alpine player. The main control centre will also accept SD cards.

Drivers away from home can communicate easily with family or their trucking company management via the supplied keyboard with Wi-Fi capability, and easy connection to the internet. Below the curved screen there is a small camera, making Skype video calls possible from the truck’s cabin. The

68

system also includes a hard disk where further media can be added. This means drivers can access their photos, music, or anything else that takes their fancy.

There is no shortage of speakers fitted around the cabin, including a discreetly hidden powerful subwoofer. When combined they deliver cinema style surround sound for watching movies.

Located in the overhead console, also viewable from the cabin’s lounge, is the main control module for the entire entertainment system. The good news is there is a Bluetooth keyboard and remote control for the sound system, which enables the driver to operate the system from anywhere in the cabin.

When the driver is at work behind the wheel, there is large LCD screen located in the right side of the overhead console.

This screen displays a wide range of information, and when driving, the radio channel and volume can be easily seen and adjusted using the touchscreen. This screen will also display images from the GoPro camera that can be mounted in the middle LED light on the front bull bar, or images from the blind spot camera located under the left-hand air cleaner. The blind spot camera is activated when the left-hand indicator is turned on, to display a picture of what is in the truck’s blind spot.

Like most modern campers, this truck also catches its grey water, which can be discharged at the appropriate disposal stations. The rear left-hand 450-litre alloy tank traditionally used for diesel is split into two. Three hundred litres is used for

fresh water storage and 150 litres for the Ecowind power pack’s diesel, with the grey water tank located underneath this.

There are two additional cell batteries located under the left side of the sleeper that power the internal workings of the custom sleeper, leaving the truck’s main batteries for operating the truck.

Under all the frills is a Western Star 4964 FXT, powered by a Detroit DD15, rated at 560hp (412kW) at 1,800rpm and putting out 2,500Nm (1,850 ft lb) of torque at 1,100rpm. The transmission is Eaton’s UltraShift PLUS transmission, with dash-mounted push-button controls. The rear axles are Meritor 46-160GP with a rear axle ratio of 4.3:1. The wheelbase is 5800mm with a 1475mm overhang at the rear. Up front is a custom-built bull bar from King Bars.

One needs to ask if there is a downside to this lavish machine, and while most folks would be hard-pressed to find any, from a management point of view, losing the left-hand rear fuel tank might be considered one. Also, a minor point might be for the inclusion of a floor mat to protect the wooden floor.

On the bling side, given the theme and roots of the Road Star, maybe a nice touch would have been to use the old retro Detroit Diesel badges rather than the current model badges.

But maybe that’s just us being a little too nostalgic.

The Road Star goes along way towards improving the living environment and lifestyle for long distance drivers. It is certainly trucks like this that will attract more professional operators to the industry. 

LIGHT COMMERCIAL Road Test

Beatlemania Story and photos by Jacqui Madelin

Isuzu’s philosophy might have been written from a Beatles lyric, for instead of infrequent but major model changes, it opts for continuous small improvements, with vehicles like this D-Max getting just a little better all the time.

I

f you think the trees in some of our shots look a little bare for summer, you’d be right. For it was autumn when the Isuzu D-Max got a bit of a tweak, and winter when we had our drive.

Volkswagen’s latest Crafter had nudged it out, but we couldn’t forget this ute, for it’s a workhorse likely to suit New Zealand, and that tweak was a good ‘un.

Isuzu seems to favour ongoing improvements throughout a model’s life rather than big, flashy step changes, and the alterations to the metal up front aren’t immediately obvious unless the ignition’s on, and you spot the running lights.

Indeed, none of the changes exactly set your trousers on fire, and some are model-specific. This LS adds a USB outlet for rear seat passengers, the infotainment system’s screen is an inch bigger, at eight of the imperial measures across, and there are also two more speakers to take the tally to eight. It gets Satnav, while the useful reversing camera is now available for all variants, along with downhill descent control and hill start

assist. There are new 6-speed auto and manual transmissions too, and the motor gets a particulate filter and a different cylinder head, which, we’re told, breathes more freely and is Euro V compliant.

The result is a whisker more torque over an equally broad spread, which those towing will appreciate, and fewer nasties emitted from the tailpipe.

But otherwise Isuzu has taken an ‘if it ain’t broke’ stance for a vehicle described by some as ‘a Hilux as it used to be made’. In other words, a rugged performer that’ll carry most loads over most terrain your average hardworking Kiwi will encounter.

Mind you this is a modern ute, so it must make a decent fist of everyday tasks. Nowadays a large footprint is a given for a pick-up, so tight city parking naturally isn’t as easy as it’d be for your average car, while most roof, ladder or equipment racks will give you problems in multi-storey car parks. But the seats are comfy, the cabin a pleasant place to spend a few hours cruising – we covered around seven, half with our Isuzu laden and half with it empty – and with enough of what you’d once have called ‘fancy’ features to please your average commuter or family.

The air con controls are exceptionally simple to dial in, even with cold hands or gloves on; indeed that can be said of all the controls on the fascia. Those controls you can access via the steering wheel, like the radio and phone, are as easy to access and intuitive to use, and yes, that cup holder to the right of the wheel really is useful, for cups, phones, pens or what have you, and if you think that’s frivolous, just leave it tucked in the dash and forget about it, there are enough other places to stash stuff – including both an upper and lower glovebox.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Naturally, this not being a car there’s no boot, but if you’re not carrying rear passengers and have stuff that has to stay locked up and dry, it’s easy to fold the back seats up to free up space for a taller load, or a lot more luggage.

Those in the know have confirmed this is a strong enough performer off road and in low range; that said, we lacked an opportunity to safely take it further off seal than rural gravel roads, where it felt well planted and communicative. As for our load, we hefted nothing bigger than a full tray of macrocarpa.

Full to the tonneau that is – had I left it in the garage I could have carried more wood, but as this optional ($690) foldable item fits by tucking the moulded edge neatly under a kind of rim, I couldn’t work out how to carry more without either losing the tonneau, or trying to fold it in the back without causing damage. Give me elastic loops any day; they may look less tidy, they quite possibly might be less secure (they’re easy to peek under), but they do allow you a little more flexibility about how high your load is, while still covering it.

Once you’re under way it has to be said that ride compliance isn’t what an urban cowboy would expect, as D-Max runs a little stiffly without a load out back when compared with the likes of VW’s Amarok or Ford’s Ranger, not unexpected for

It handled as you’d expect – like a truck, not a family car – with steering not as precise as the market leader, though it’s far from the only ute you can say that about.

Power remains at the same 130kW figure as before, but the changes have boosted torque to 430Nm, enough to make the driving experience more relaxed. It no longer needs working to get the most from this 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine thanks to those tweaks to the on-paper numbers and the range at which they’re most effective; though I still found it a tad noisy after a few hours – others may not be as bothered.

I also liked how adjustable this cabin is – like many cars you can even adjust the shoulder height of the front belts – a bonus for anyone buying a ute for a range of folk to drive.

PERSON OF INTEREST

Life on the Red Line Part One

C

ummins New Zealand general manager Daniel Gallagher grew up in semi-rural Melbourne and says he had a connection with motorcycles, trucks and tractors from an early age.

“I very much enjoyed mechanical things I suppose. And then when I went to high school I was in trouble quite a bit for talking and asking questions. The teachers liked me but I was always off doing things different to what they wanted me to do!”

Daniel says he did a bit of everything at school, including agricultural studies, but didn’t really know what he wanted to do when he left school.

“I sat down with our careers person and she thought I had a level of intellect that would get me into university, so I started doing physics, specialist maths and chemistry. Right up until Year 11 I was doing pretty well but it wasn’t really me. My mum was a teacher and she introduced me to a lovely careers lady, who was actually separate from the school I was attending, and she said ‘you should be in sales and marketing, you should connect with people, that’s where I think your skills are at’.”

This led to Daniel dropping chemistry and science and starting English literature, business economics, finance and accounting, following that with a business degree at La Trobe University in Melbourne after leaving school.

“I did a double major in marketing and human resource management, which one of my mentors likened to punching yourself in each side of your face! I really enjoyed university, I met some great people and some of my longest friends are the guys I studied with.”

After university Daniel decided to take a year off to travel and spend time with friends.

“I did a bit of cabinet making, and tinkered with cars and bikes and trucks, which was what I found enjoyable. It was meant to be 12 months but after eight months I thought I better get back into all this work I’d studied for, so I worked for an organisation that specialised in J1939 control systems.

Electronic engines were coming to the fore during that period and it was a marketing role.”

Daniel says he was given the opportunity to set up their marketing plan and sales strategy. Through that he became acquainted with Cummins, as that company was one of their suppliers.

“I liked what I saw immensely, and as someone who was in a sales role, working for a diesel engine company selling engines seemed to be where it was at. The values of the organisation shone through, and I was employed as an engine salesman on a handshake by then sales director Garry Piper. I remember him saying at the time, ‘you’ve got more front than a rat with a gold tooth but we reckon you can sell so you’ve got the job!’

“He was great to me, he taught me everything he knew. I was a sales executive for Cummins from 2007 until 2012. I’ve been very lucky to have numerous mentors throughout our organisation but Garry was the one who hired me.”

Daniel says they came up with the saying ‘populate the earth’, doing everything they could to get as many of those red engines into the field.

“It was a great, very successful time. With the help of Cummins, who have got a real people leadership development bend, I was given some further training and opportunities to take on a sales management role, looking after industrial marine and automotive engine sales for the east coast of Australia.”

Sadly just as Daniel took on that role, Garry passed away from cancer.

“SO THEN I was working for the sales director, Brian Smith, another great mentor, who is now the engine business director for the Asia Pacific region. He said ‘you’ve got to go and do some people management’. So I was fortunate enough to get some more development and I started looking after the sales team.”

Daniel says he enjoyed managing the team he had earlier been part of.

“People I trust have said ‘people is business and business is people’ and that’s something that has stuck with me. I developed a love for leading people, and giving them the opportunity and the runway to do things that they didn’t think were possible, is what I got a kick out of.”

In 2014 Daniel was told he had the capability to go further in Cummins, which resulted in the now South Pacific managing director, Stephanie Disher, putting him in charge of the New Zealand business. He moved to New Zealand with his family in 2015.

“It is a really beautiful country. The diversity of the landscape that exists from the sub-tropical Bay of Islands to the Southern Alps, that’s one of the things I enjoy so much. Auckland’s quite a cosmopolitan city, but you jump in the car for an hour and you’re in beautiful rural New Zealand, which is just amazing.”

Daniel says Cummins New Zealand is run as a company owned business operation.

“We have our own balance sheet, we run our own HR and finance function, and it is a stand-alone New Zealand business.

I suppose 2015 was a consolidation year, we had a look at what the footprint looked like, what the team looked like, and made some pretty significant structural changes. We spent a lot of time on people, customers and growth, the three things that have been our recipe for success over the past 24 months.”

2016 was a record year for Cummins New Zealand, with double-digit top line and significant profit growth, and 2017 was also a good year. Daniel says this success has provided further opportunity to reinvest in people and assets.

“It has certainly set this business up for long-term stability and success, something that I’m very passionate about.

Obviously the truck sales are doing exceptionally well, and we’ve had great growth in marine, power generation and the industrial sector.”

Daniel agrees with the statement that a rising tide lifts all boats.

“I think optimism and positivity are very powerful leadership tools. New Zealand is a great country to be in at this point in time with a diversity of economic success. There’s a lot of positivity about and it’s great to be a part of it.”

Cummins will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2019 and Daniel says that was one of the factors which attracted him to the company.

“You don’t get to be 100 years old without a history of innovation. Diversity and inclusion is still a huge part of what we do today, and that value set is what attracted me to the organisation. I think it’s good that people recognise that about us, because when you talk about an organisation that you’re as passionate about as I am, you don’t always see the culture that exists within it. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking to Tom Linebarger, our chairman and CEO, or Steph Disher, our South Pacific managing director, that personality and that value set is a part of us all. And I think that is what makes us different.”

Daniel says he spent a lot of his youth both riding and racing motorbikes. He still has a selection of bikes today and likes nothing better than getting out on the bikes in his spare time.

“I wanted nothing more than a motorbike when I was about six, and my mum and dad resisted until my 10th birthday when I got my first bike. It’s something that’s been with me ever since. I had a mildly successful road race career and actually came second in the 600 Superstock series in the Victorian titles in 2008.” 

New year, new start!

N

ow is a good time to decide what your future looks like. Ensure you’ll be part of your grandkids’ fondest memories, not just a face in an album.

There’s a classic saying in the fitness industry - ‘if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got’. Basically, if you want change in your life, you need to do something about it!

Asking for help is the first step. A gym can offer a sense of community for improving your lifestyle, providing a supportive and informative experience.

The gym can be a scary place for a newbie, but no, you do not have to get fit first before going to the gym.

Tips for ensuring you pick a gym and/ or trainer that is right for you: • Check local community Facebook pages and ask for recommendations of gyms and trainers.

• Check out a few and ask lots of questions to get a feel for the one that suits you.

• If you are new to the gym then be careful of cheap options as they generally provide little support.

• Group fitness classes are a great way to make the most of your membership under the guidance of a trainer.

• Find training buddies from your gym as they will be on the same mission as you.

• Book regular personal training sessions with your buddies as it encourages competition and motivation and cuts costs.

• Do your research and check your trainer’s experience and education. Ask them about their wellness philosophy and why they do what they do..

Find a gym or trainer that values relationships with members and you’ll have greater success and make some real positive, long-lasting changes in your life.

Good luck!

HEALTH AND SAFETY

MetroWaste

an enforceable undertaking In this month’s column, MetroWaste managing director Danelle Mathews has kindly supplied the enforceable undertaking issued to MetroWaste - Tracey Murphy

M

etroWaste operate a rubbish and recycling business. They collect from the greater Waikato region, and run a sorting and processing site in Huntly.

On 28 April 2016 a worker was using a vertical baler to crush tin cans into bales. The worker saw a plastic milk bottle amongst the tin cans, in the baler, and reached in to grab it as the crushing plate was coming down. The crushing plate came down on his hand and forearm. He stopped the machine and reversed the cycle, raising the crushing plate off his hand, freeing himself. The worker was taken to hospital, where he received treatment for a left hand degloving injury and a hamate fracture (carpal bone in his wrist). The worker has made a full recovery, although he was off work for three months recovering.

MetroWaste reported the incident to WorkSafe New Zealand (WorkSafe). Upon investigation, WorkSafe alleged that Metro Waste had failed to: • Undertake a risk assessment by a competent person, and implement the appropriate controls.

• Ensure the baler was guarded in accordance with AS4024 to ensure there was no access to crushing/nipping points.

It was agreed by MetroWaste and WorkSafe that an

Enforceable Undertaking would be applied for, and if successful, would replace prosecution. This required MetroWaste to identify and outline a number of undertakings to improve the safety in its workplace, but also to inform and educate industry and community about health and safety practices. The industry and community undertakings have included making a video, talks at local marae, providing local marae with health and safety starter kits, and sharing the story of the MetroWaste journey through this process.

A health and safety system had been developed, and was being implemented. There had been a hazard review of equipment. This had not fully identified updating all existing machinery to meet current guarding standards. Remedial action was put into place, following the incident. This included re-engaging the health and safety consultant to support the process.

The baler involved in the incident was used infrequently.

Because of this, and the fact that the baler was set up as per the original manufacturer’s specifications, it was not considered to be high risk. However, we now recognise that risk is not dependant on frequency of use.

Following the incident, guarding was installed, by a competent engineer, on the baler, and all other plant as identified during a full risk assessment. This included interlocks, to shut the baler down if the guards are opened, and an isolation system. MetroWaste identified that using specialists is essential in managing health and safety. Although the baler was set up as per the manufacturer’s specifications, equipment must be updated to meet current safety standards.

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) were reviewed and redeveloped. The SOPs have included more pictures, to ensure they are easily understood. Frequency and type of workplace inspections have also been increased. 

Key learnings for MetroWaste have been: • The use of specialists to ensure that health and safety matters are fully addressed. In this case, an engineer would have been more capable of undertaking the risk assessment on the baler.

• Risk is not dependant on the frequency of use. If a serious injury is possible, the hazard must be addressed quickly and appropriately. Old equipment must be updated to meet current safety standards.

• Training must be designed to meet the needs of the worker; the increased use of pictures is an example of how this can be achieved.

• Workplace inspections encourage workers to follow

correct procedures. By involving workers in inspections, you can promote shared ownership/responsibility, as everyone in the organisation has a responsibility to keep themselves safe as well as others. Regular inspections also serve to identify any new hazards, or faults.

• Worker participation is paramount to achieving a safe and healthy work environment. Monthly safety meetings are continuing, with all workers involved in the monthly safety meetings. They are engaged and participate during the meeting. There is good communication between workers and management, with the opportunity to discuss any health and safety concerns at any time.

Sentences of imprisonment for drink driving offences

T

he courts are becoming increasingly less tolerant when it comes to repeat drink drivers. Defendants are at risk of having a sentence of imprisonment imposed for third or subsequent drink driving offences and a recent example of this is Beren Bjon Mason v New Zealand Police [2017], NZHC 126 which is a decision from the Whangarei High Court.

The facts

Mason pleaded guilty to a charge under section 56(1) of the Land Transport Act 1998 of driving with an excess breath alcohol (‘EBA’) level of 629 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. The charge has a maximum penalty of two years’ imprisonment or a fine of $6000, and a minimum disqualification period of one year and one day. He had three previous convictions for the same offence, which occurred in 2003, 2004 and 2008.

The judge adopted a starting point of six months’ imprisonment for the index offending. He then uplifted the starting point by two months for a subsequent EBA infringement that occurred subsequent to the offending which was before the court. He then applied a full 25 percent discount for Mason’s guilty plea.

The final sentence imposed in the district court was six months’ imprisonment, with post-release conditions of six months and a disqualification period of 13 months. This sentence was appealed on the basis that during the sentencing process, the judge improperly applied an uplift for the EBA infringement.

EBA infringement offences

On 1 December 2014, the alcohol limit was lowered from 400 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath to 250 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath for drivers over 20. For drivers under 20 the zero alcohol tolerance, which was introduced in 2011, remains. The Land Transport Amendment Act (No. 2) 2014 created a new offence for drivers with a breath alcohol level between 251 and 400 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath or between 51 and 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Offenders with a breath alcohol level within this range now receive an infringement notice for $200 and 50 demerit points.

Approach on appeal

Section 250(2) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 provides that the court must allow an appeal against a sentence if satisfied that: • for any reason, there is an error in the sentence imposed on conviction; and • a different sentence should be imposed.

sentence is within the range that can properly be justified by accepted sentencing principles.

Analysis

The question for the court was whether the judge was correct to adjust Mason’s starting point because of his subsequent EBA infringement. Justice Fitzgerald noted that the district court judge did not rely on the subsequent infringement to negate a plea of good character or a plea that the offending was isolated.

Nor was prosecution or detection of Mason’s initial offending precluded by a denial of any sort by Mason. Accordingly, the learned judge concluded that the judge was wrong to impose a two-month uplift because it comprised one-third of the starting point for the index offending and it was an offence that only carried a $200 fine as its prescribed penalty.

Should a different sentence be imposed:

Clotworthy v Police (2003) 20 CRNZ 439 (HC) sets out the aggravating and mitigating facts for EBA offending. In this case they can be summarised as follows: • Mason’s breath level was moderate; • It had been more than seven years since Mason’s previous conviction for EBA offending; • Mason pleaded guilty at an early stage; • Mason had not previously received a sentence of imprisonment for EBA offending; • Mason showed some remorse; and • Mason has a reasonably significant number of prior convictions.

The court considered that the Clotworthy factors indicated that overall Mason’s offending was moderately serious. After considering a number of authorities involving sentence for similar offending, Justice Fitzgerald considered that an appropriate starting point would be between six and seven months’ imprisonment. When this was reduced in light of a full discount for Mason’s guilty plea, it resulted in an endsentence range of around four-and-a-half months to just over five months’ imprisonment.

When this was compared with Mason’s actual sentence of six months’ imprisonment it was clear that Mason’s case was at the upper end of the available range. However, the court was not persuaded that this was manifestly excessive and to interfere would involve ‘tinkering’ with the sentence. For those reasons the appeal was dismissed. 

Please note that this article is not a substitute for legal advice and if you

In any other case, the court must dismiss the appeal.

Although section 250 makes no express reference to allowing appeals where the end sentence is “manifestly excessive”, this principle is well-ingrained in the court’s approach to sentence appeals. An appeal against sentence is an appeal against discretion. An appellate court will not intervene where the end

Overcome your fear of change and leave your comfort zone

M

any people crave new and exciting tasks at work, and feel cautiously optimistic about change. Change can also make us worried or stressed, and sometimes with good reason. But change is an inevitable and necessary part of operating a business. If businesses wish to survive and be successful in the long term, they need to have the ability to be flexible and adapt or change to survive and thrive. There are many, many examples of businesses that have failed to change and thus became extinct. Change can come as a shock to employees; as people we are creatures of habit who thrive on routine and predictability. What we cannot predict we cannot control, and that instils fear in us. Fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of the unknown. When we experience large changes we instinctively worry and prepare ourselves for the worst.

So what kinds of changes do employees fear the most?

Changes of management, sale of the business, restructure, changes in job responsibilities, promotion, hiring and firing, layoffs and budget cuts would be at the top of many people’s lists. Anything that could lead to unemployment sets off alarm bells in employees’ heads. A new boss can also bring up another set of fears, as they are often the person who has the most direct impact on whether their work is enjoyable or insufferable. Will they like me? Will I like them? Will they value my work? Will they allow me to have any input into the business? Will they respect my contributions to the business so far, or will I have to start from scratch?

While it’s normal to be a bit fearful of change and things that are out of our control, it’s how we react to the changes that truly matters. If you spend all your time fighting it, reacting negatively or ignoring it, then you will quickly become unhappy. On the other hand, if you embrace change and look for ways to adjust to the new climate you are much more likely to be happy and successful. Here are some tips on how to adjust to changes: • Acknowledge the change. The first step towards managing your fears about change is acknowledging it.

• Acknowledge your fears. Write a list of all your fears on a piece of paper. Don’t dwell on them. Once you have a list of all your fears, you can go through each point and think about what you would do if they happened. It becomes easier to manage the fears when you know you have a backup plan, and plans are always best written on paper.

• Seek support. Speak with your colleagues, friends or partner. Talking with those you know and trust can help

relieve the emotions you may be feeling. Others may have experienced similar things before and be able to give you helpful advice, and reassure you that you aren’t alone.

Communicate. Others in your organisation may be experiencing similar feelings to you too. If you share your fears with co-workers or managers, they may be able to calm your fears or address any concerns you may be having.

Reduce your stress. If you have pent up stress, try to find a way to release it. It is much easier to be calm and relaxed and not worry about things when you do so. Regular exercise is a great way to do this – go for a walk or bike ride.

Meditation can also work for some people. Find something that you can add to your routine.

Eat healthier and avoid alcohol or soft drinks. Unhealthy foods, sugar and alcohol can also alter how you feel both physically and mentally. Eat more vegetables and less food that is high in carbs or sugar.

Get enough sleep. You are much more likely to feel stressed, anxious or depressed if you don’t get enough rest.

Stay positive. Fears can be caused by or made worse by negative thoughts. Focusing on the negative aspects of things can cause stress, anxiety and depression. If you focus on the positive aspects, or potential positive outcomes, the impact the changes will have on you will be minimal.

Be flexible. Take on any new tasks or challenges that come with the changes with an open mind, and think of it as a chance to learn new things.

Increase your value. Take time to see how you are perceived by those around you. Try to do things that increase your value as an employee, and make you difficult to replace.

Valuable employees are less likely to be negatively affected by change.

Keep working. After changes or a restructure in a business is made it can take some time before it is clear what everyone’s roles are and exactly what you will be responsible for. Do whatever you can, increase your value, and you may be able to work your way into doing exactly what you want to do.

Remember that all businesses require change and it’s how businesses keep up with the times. Embrace it! 

NATIONAL ROAD CARRIERS

Addressing the shortage

W

ith rules around work visas tightening, going offshore to source good drivers for the industry is looking more and more difficult. I regularly field calls from distraught operators who have had a capable employee sent back to their country of origin, leaving an almost impossible hole in their operational requirements. Short-term immigration, previously the industry fallback position, can no longer be relied on in the current political climate.

We often talk of the resilience of our industry and the ability to cope with difficulties. It is my belief that over the next few years you may need this ability to adapt more than ever as the labour market tightens. In all reality, transport is in competition with all those other industries seeking employees.

For the survival of your business we will need to win these battles, and you as the operator/employer are the key to successful recruitment. It’s a long time since I heard little Johnny or Jenny when asked what their future holds say, “I want to drive or own a truck”. What do we need to do – or perhaps more importantly stop doing – to attract more people to road transport?

Respect. Ever heard the saying “respect is earned”? I disagree.

I believe everyone deserves respect until they prove otherwise.

The quickest way to lose an individual’s respect is to disrespect them, and who wants to work for someone they don’t respect.

Value. We all want to feel our efforts are valued. It makes us feel good about our achievements and encourages us to strive for more.

Expectation. Many in this industry would work 25 hours a day if they could find the extra hour, but your employees are not you. Don’t put unreasonable demands on employees and then throw your toys out of the cot when they say no. Rather, appreciate it when they say yes. The right approach and a simple thank you can go a long way, but remember for them there is a life outside of work.

Honesty. As a leader your honesty and integrity are the hallmark of who you are and what your company is, and builds the trust of those who work for you.

Take an interest. Get to know your employees and who they are other than just as one of your workers. This way you will be a step ahead when something is happening in their lives that may be affecting their work.

Listen. Everyone feels they have something important they need to share from time to time. Your employee should feel comfortable talking to you.

Clear rules and guidelines. Nothing is more confusing than not knowing the boundaries and expectations of your role.

Fairness. Treat every employee the same. You cannot afford to have one rule for one and not for another.

Supporting those who choose to make a living in the Road Transport Industry since 1936

Team. From the cadet to the managing director, everyone in your workplace is part of the same team. As a team you share the good times and support each other through the lows.

Brand appeal. Consider a point of difference that sets you apart from other employers and that makes people want to work for you.

The shortage of potential quality staff is an industry issue and one that we all must play a part in addressing. This means operators must start looking to recruit potential drivers, dispatchers and transport administrators and provide the necessary training. If we are to build the numbers, we must move outside the square and look at options.

Work with your local high school and provide cadetships for those who may have a delay in getting a class 2 licence.

Other businesses close and have redundancies. Usually good employees with a good work ethic that just need training in a new role. We need to be at the front of the queue to retrain these potential transport industry employees into a role where they need never again fear redundancy.

Look at job share. There are capable people out there either with the qualifications you want or who are prepared to get them but who are unable to work the long hours. This includes semi-retirees, mothers returning to the workforce, and students.

I used Student Job Search to cover busy periods and leave requirements with some success. They came with the required qualifications and I was able to build a semi-permanent arrangement with a number of these people.

Consider others wishing to supplement their current income, especially for weekend work, although you will need to make sure you monitor work hours, especially the 24-hour break requirement.

Poaching staff from others does nothing to alleviate the shortfall and, remember, if they will come to you for a few bucks more, they will leave just as easily. We need to recruit new blood now, as failure to do so will mean many more trucks parked up and an industry unable to cope with growing demand.

It is no longer acceptable to offer excuses for not training.

Sure, you may lose a few to other operators who are happy to feed off the efforts of others, but surveys suggest that most stay with the original employer for a number of years.

Remember, you can secure outside costs incurred in training in the form of an employee loan if you are concerned. Your association representative will be happy to work with you on any training options as this issue is considered a top industry priority.

Stay safe. 

ROAD TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

The driver shortage and how are we going to deal with it

O

ver the past year in this column I have stated that the transport industry faces an array of complex issues that operators have to confront and deal with daily to stay ahead of the game.

We are an extremely competitive industry operating in a complicated regulatory environment. On top of this, we know that without road transport the country would grind to a halt, crippling the economy.

However, the single biggest problem the industry faces is the continued shortage of drivers, and it appears to be the one ‘we’ are not taking as seriously as we should.

On my journeys around the traps I get the same story that the industry is in strife because we have a driver shortage, and we can’t get people into the driver’s seat to maintain the flow of labour to support the industry. Most seem to throw up their arms, at a total loss as to what to do.

The problem as I see it is that they react this way because they really don’t want to face the issue head on. Most of the people I talk to seem to think that someone else should be solving this issue. There’s a distinct lack of ownership.

I suspect that because we are so competitive many operators are not in a position to invest in recruitment, training and taking on people who will not return 100% to the business.

But without a concerted investment and a willingness to do this, it will only make the situation worse. On top of that other sectors have worked this out, are making the investment in the potential labour market, and will attract the cream of the available labour supply.

We have to create a different vision and approach without constantly resorting to placing the blame elsewhere, such as on schools, which many believe have a somewhat antagonistic approach to our industry.

The only way that this situation will be solved is if the industry itself takes up the challenge of bringing in the new people required – maybe one-to-two thousand a year – based on an investment philosophy, the cost of which is passed on to the end user in the rate structure. Unless this sort of investment starts now, we will keep going backwards.

Most businesses understand that to survive in the future the cost of the service must take care of future investment.

Without this you run a break-even mentality, which in all reality is a drive to the bottom.

We need the industry to stand up and take on this challenge – so who is prepared to lead the way? The days of expecting someone to sort this out for you are over. The solution is sitting with you … it’s time to act. 

Most of the people I talk to seem to think that someone else should be solving this issue.

There’s a distinct lack of ownership.

ROAD TRANSPORT FORUM

Consumers will be big losers with regional fuel tax

B

oth the government and Auckland Council are determined to impose a regional fuel tax on Auckland by the middle of 2018. The problem for Transport Minister Phil Twyford and Auckland Mayor Phil Goff is that regional fuel taxes have always been a nonsense.

The premise behind the policy is reasonable, that the rest of the country does not tolerate paying for Auckland’s infrastructure needs, and the region needs to raise its own revenue. However, in an attempt to achieve this, the council and government could barely have come up with a worse way of doing it.

The government’s best-case scenario is that the tax delivers $150 million per year of the annual $1.5 billion needed for Auckland’s transport infrastructure projects. So, despite the significant administrative hassle and political risks that both Twyford and Goff are willing to take with this policy, it barely delivers 10 percent of the revenue required.

Regional fuel taxes are notoriously inefficient, taking up a lot of resources to administer and never really delivering the outcomes and revenue that is promised.

In a blatant display of populism Goff stated that he wants to see the tax applied to commercial vehicle operators particularly, and that the scheme should be structured in a way that penalises them over the average mum and dad commuter. It is unclear how Goff wished to achieve this discrimination but it’s clear that he was endeavouring to play on the perceived public prejudice against trucks.

Unfortunately for Goff, even if he could design the scheme to unfairly target commercial vehicles, the reality is that operators have no choice but to pass the extra cost on to their customers anyway. Margins in the road transport industry are extremely tight so any additional costs must be reflected in higher freight rates.

What this actually means is that Auckland consumers, when they drive down to the supermarket to buy their Weetbix, will effectively be paying the fuel tax twice. They will be paying it on the fuel that they use to drive to the shops and will also be paying it a second time on the products that they buy once they get there.

Because Auckland is New Zealand’s largest import port, the impact of the regional fuel tax won’t just be limited to Auckland. All goods transported from Auckland to other parts of the country will have the tax added to their freight costs. So even though the government wants Auckland to contribute as much as possible to its own infrastructure issues, it is effectively setting up a funding mechanism that will spread much of the cost around the rest of New Zealand.

The disappointing thing is that there is considerable work

going on by officials to do with the efficacy of road pricing mechanisms, which as far as I can tell has far greater potential than regional fuel taxes.

Over the past couple of years government and Auckland Council have stuck their finger in the air to read the public mood on road pricing and I think they have been surprised at the reaction. Very few people have voiced their opposition to it, with most realising that a form of user pays is required to help manage traffic demand and perhaps pay for the infrastructure that our growing population requires.

It is unclear how Goff wished to achieve this discrimination but it’s clear that he was endeavouring to play on the perceived public prejudice against trucks.

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

While the Road Transport Forum is far more enthusiastic about the possibilities related to road pricing than just a fuel tax, we have so far narrowly confined our support to demand management objectives only. However, if it is done fairly and equitably, road pricing is a far more sustainable and equitable revenueraising tool than a regional fuel tax.

It is well known that a high proportion of peak-time traffic in Auckland is single-occupancy cars.

Charging on the basis of causing congestion can have a direct impact on this as it financially encourages people to car pool or travel at different times of the day.

Without question a system of road pricing also has far more integrity than a regional fuel tax. It is incredibly difficult to dodge, prices would be structured to charge the most to those who use the network at its busiest times, and it does not include the distortions and opportunity for gamesmanship that regional fuel taxes do.

Support exists for road pricing across the political spectrum and the road transport industry should be open to the idea as long as the system that is devised is fair and equitable across all road users.

The forum’s often-stated position is that the principle of user pays must be extended across all modes of transport so that government and private sector investment can be made on true comparative advantage rather than on whichever mode is the major beneficiary of cross-subsidisation. That would allow for a truly self-funding, sustainable transport fund that all modes financially contribute to and benefit from. 

MEMBERS’ REVIEW TMC Trailers

NZTTMF member since: 1957 TMC Trailers is one of New Zealand’s largest transport engineers, specialising in the manufacture, repair and sales of truck trailers and decks.

The company’s main workshop is in Hornby, Christchurch, where it employs 50 people and where every step of the production process from CAD design, fabrication, abrasive blasting, painting and assembly is performed in-house. It also has TMC agents throughout New Zealand and a list of these is on the company’s website.

The company can and will build any trailer to any configuration and for any purpose. They offer a complete range of standard units from bottom dumpers to transporters, from curtainsiders to skeletals.

Each can be customised to suit an operator’s exact needs, or the TMC in-house design team can design what it terms “out of the ordinary” trailers – fully customised trailers, built for purpose.

Also on site is a large range of secondhand trailers.

This large customer-centric company is still a family firm. Ian Currie began TMC (Trailer Manufacturing Company) in 1948 after serving in WWII as an aircraft engineer.

His son and grandson, Paul and Richard, have since taken up the mantle and the personal approach and quality control of the Currie family is acknowledged and respected throughout the transport industry.

Tangible evidence of this comes from examining the company’s production history over its 67 years of continuous operation – more than 3800 trailers.

TMC Trailers offers unrivalled depth of experience and an understanding of the industry needs.

This experience has been translated into a tradition of dedicated customer support, back-up and personal service that generations of operators have come to rely upon.

THE LAST MILE

Is it necessary?

W

e all know that to survive in business you must continually evolve to meet the needs of your customers. Often this evolution process requires us to make hard decisions, such as dropping off customers who are no longer financially viable and changing the way we do things. There is a cost to doing this, which has to be weighed up against the value of the benefits. One thing you do is to make pretty sure that whatever you do, your directors, shareholders and customers will see the benefits. You adapt or you die, that’s what you have to do, so why are reorganisations and restructurings routine business activities for many government departments and agencies? What are the visible benefits to us, the people of New Zealand, from the setting up of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment? Is road safety really any better since the Ministry of Transport’s traffic safety service, the old black and whites, was merged into the NZ Police in 1992? And of course we have recently seen the CVIU rebranded as the Commercial Vehicle Safety Team

98

New Zealand Trucking

March 2018

(CVST). Why? How much did this cost? What benefits will we see? (Mind you, I guess we should be thankful that such a group still exists, but then how real was the proposal to disband the CVIU, or was it just a ploy to get some more money?)

The reality is that reorganising government departments and agencies is a business, a very lucrative one if you can get involved. It is very easy to develop a case to reorganise something within government; you paint a rosy picture of what the future will look like and away you go, happy in the knowledge that you are extremely unlikely to have to prove that it has actually worked. Money is generally no object and where the money comes from has little to do with it. After all, the customers of these organisations have no option but to go to them; they are a monopoly. For example, if you want to ask a question about driver licensing you have to go to NZTA; you have no other option.

Those who get into the business of reorganising government generally fall into one of two groups: the first being government employees and contractors – read consultants. Like vultures around a dead animal, government employees often move around within the government sphere, seldom migrating into the real world or allowing real world people into their world. Once they find a good perch they may settle down for a bit, reorganising themselves into a position they create. The other group, consultants, go into an organisation, produce reports and then depart, making a lot of money along the way; the spray and walk away effect. Like employees, this group also tends to migrate around government agencies – some even have business units set up solely to do this, happy in the knowledge that work in this area is all but guaranteed for as long as they like.

It would be interesting to know just how much of our money has been spent by government agencies reorganising themselves over the past few years, especially what has been spent on fixing problems that have occurred since the last reorganisation took place. Of course we will never know as much of the cost is hidden, written off as just business as usual. They will never be called to account and have to prove that their customers, us, are better off for the amount of money spent.

In all this of course people get affected; for some it will be a life-changing event. But those who instigate these changes tend to show little regard for the effect on those people. It’s all about looking after themselves, making themselves look good, and if you are a consultant, making money.

There was a time when a person working for the government was called a public servant – their job was to serve the public; alas, this no longer appears to be so.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ CAMPING MADE EASY Camping in NZ just got easier and more flexible with the Kakapo Off-Road Camper. The “Kakapo” has a strong galvanized chassis with independent suspension, giving it great ground clearance with ability to follow your 4WD vehicle off-road, or operate with conventional vehicle and stay on the paved roads. Similar Trailers are used in the rugged Australian Outback.

The ‘Kakapo’ features an initial quick set up, a permanent queen bed with the ability to convert the lounge area into an additional bed for guests or kids. The awning with an ensuite makes your longer stay more pleasurable.

Hit the road with the standard package or get a large number of luxury extras included with the premium package, the choice is yours for a very reasonable and affordable price.
