Don’t go past the gate

I

was talking to young fella a few weeks back who was lamenting the burden of having to milk the cows for his dad that afternoon. I told him he should thank his lucky stars. I told him just how fortunate he was that his father was still in a position – for the time being – where he could impart the valuable time-honoured skills of the land upon him, to the point where he had the right mix of education and experience, and could therefore be entrusted to undertake a mission critical part of the business unsupervised.

He was somewhat taken aback. “Take a truck driver and his son,” I said. “Not a hope in hell of learning anything from dad on the job. Not a hope in hell! Probably not even a hope in learning anything from another truck driver you might respect or look up to... like a neighbouring farmer you might admire and respect; nope forget that.”

I then went on to tell him about the colossal hole our industry has dug, allowing itself to be steamrolled into an untenable position, and thus getting the whole country into one as well.

Following that I told him what I thought should happen to farming.

1: The section containing the house and lawn should be fenced and signed as being the ‘Habitation zone’. No rugby goal posts in paddocks and certainly no homemade motocross facilities.

2: No one under the age of 18 allowed beyond the habitation zone without someone to guide them. The guide must be trained (not necessarily in the anything to do with farming – just ‘trained’). The person being guided must be inducted.

3: All adult visitors not involved in the core business of farming must be inducted for any intrusion beyond the habitation zone, and everyone beyond the habitation zone must wear safety goggles, earmuffs, bump-hat, gloves and full body-covering garments all year round.

4: Farmers are dangerous and reckless people and are to play no part in the training or instruction of their children or children’s friends. Heavy fines will result if they are found to do this.

5: Training will consist of 800 modules over five years.

There will be no overarching national qualification and on completion you will not be trade qualified.

8

New Zealand Trucking

September 2017

6: During training the ‘cadet’ is to be given minimal access to real world scenarios and certainly no field access to tractors, implements and potentially dangerous animals (this includes farm dogs – of any kind). All training must be done in an artificial work scenario environment, making maximal use of whiteboards and virtual reality for reasons of safety.

7: As cadets show competency and valuable knowledge is gained, there may be some exposure to actual farming sites.

8: Once fully qualified cadets will be allowed to own and run whatever size farm they like.

I went on to say that any major shortfall caused by a colossal loss of interest in farming some years hence would be solved with kneejerk patch-ups, and immigrant labour.

He responded with “Piss-off!”

It then dawned on me why farming’s largely been missed by much of the compliance steamroller. Power and organisation.

After the conversation with the young fellow I asked two farmers – independently – about the Federated Farmers as an organisation. Both gave essentially the same response, that the federation is hopeless on the small stuff but good on the big stuff. They said crazy stuff the government wants to do is often vetoed before it gets off the ground.

Obviously the farming community understands the power of the stick it wields in the economic engine of New Zealand, and uses that to keep sanity in the ranks. The sad part about it is that road transport could potentially wield a stick equally as powerful as agriculture, if not more.

When a lion or a cheetah hunts, they go after the stragglers, the slow and disorganised. They don’t target the huge stag.

Until we realise that and have the same belief and commercial self-respect that farming does, representing ourselves with unity and passion and not like a disorganised herd that’s easy prey, nothing’s going to change. 

Government to look at law change in light of SCR systems tampering

N

ews that the Government is investigating changes to the vehicle exhaust emission rule in light of recent publicity about selective catalytic reduction systems (SCR) being disconnected will be welcomed by operators working within the law.

Transport Minister Simon Bridges said the Government was committed to reducing the amount of harmful toxins in the environment and that SCR systems played an important role in reducing harmful diesel engine emissions.

The Ministry of Transport and NZ Transport Agency had been working with industry to understand harmful emissions from vehicles and Bridges said the Ministry had commissioned an independent consultant to report on the New Zealand context and potential policy levers that could help to reduce

tampering, especially with SCR systems, which appeared to be increasing internationally.

The Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions 2007 (the Rule) does not explicitly prohibit tampering with vehicle emissions control equipment, but it does prohibit modification of vehicle emissions control equipment which prevents it from passing a metered test. The Ministry’s work will look at whether changes to the Rule are needed to specifically prohibit tampering (over and above modification).

“We don’t support operators tampering with their SCR systems and will be closely monitoring the work the Ministry is leading to counter operators who are tampering with their vehicles emissions systems,” said Bridges.

New president at IRTENZ

D

om Kalasih has been appointed president of the Institute Road Transport Engineers New Zealand (IRTENZ). Dom was voted in at a council meeting on 14 July in Tauranga.

Outgoing president David Rodgers has been in the role for five years. “I’ve really enjoyed my time as president and it’s an ideal time to hand over. Fresh ideas and change is great,” Rodgers told New Zealand Trucking.

Kalasih’s role in the industry is HSSE Special Projects for Z Energy Ltd and he brings considerable knowledge particularly in the areas of health and safety and regulatory compliance.

“It’s a real honour to lead IRTENZ, particularly at a time when the engineering developments occurring across a huge range of fronts are at an all-time high,” said Kalasih. “Members are eagerly anticipating IRTENZ’s biennial conference later this year. I’ve no doubt that given all this technological progress, the opportunity to exchange ideas and have quality faceto-face discussions with international and Dom Kalasih local experts will be invaluable to the heavy vehicle sector.”

Kalasih studied mechanical engineering at Canterbury prior to managing his family’s light mechanical engineering business. He has over two decades of experience in road

His hobbies include motor racing and sailing. He successfully built and raced Formula First single-seaters for a long period, and his achievements include winning the national championship. Nowadays his motor-racing involvement has reduced to engine building and race car preparation and he spends more time maintaining his trailer sailer yacht.

In his spare time Kalasih undertakes a voluntary role for MotorSport NZ as head of circuit safety department and he is a motorsport vehicle scrutineer.

Kalasih has been honoured by the NZ Heavy Haulage Association, he is a life member of the NZ Formula Vee Association and treasurer of the International Forum for Road Transport Technology (IFRTT).

One of the four 25m units Toll New Zealand has trialled with great success since 2013.

Squeezing the 23m lemon now will bolster future lobbying

A

ttendees at the IRTENZ regional meeting in Tauranga on Friday 14 July agreed that the industry needs to ensure maximum advantage and efficiency is explored and extracted from the current 23m length restrictions before moving on. National transport manager at Toll New Zealand, James Smith, reported to the well attended meeting on the four 25m trial trucks Toll have run since 2013. Smith told the meeting the trucks had presented no access or tracking challenges that fell outside the operational envelope of a 23m unit, but did offer significant productivity gains.

“The access challenges came with the jump from 20 to 23m, not 23 to 25m.” He went on to say that trials of optiturn steering axles on dog trailers certainly enhanced slow speed

manoeuvring, however on road the vehicle’s speed did not get low enough to initiate steering.

Smith said Toll NZ wouldn’t hesitate to build more 25m units if the current regulatory environment allowed, however he was fully supportive of the group discussion that followed which concluded that although 25m should be the long-term objective, the industry’s case would be far stronger if they were able to demonstrate that they’d ‘squeezed the lemon’ on all that could be gained from 23m. The group also felt that the dust needed to settle on NZTA’s recent restructure. The combined strategy would lead to a stronger lobbying case to a stable, objective, and well-informed regulating body in the future.

IRTENZ 15th International Conference confirmed

Transport innovation – the next frontier The Institute of Road Transport Engineers New Zealand (IRTENZ) has announced the theme, date and location for this year’s conference. Rydges Hotel Rotorua will once again host the biennial event from 24 to 26 October, the theme of which will be Transport Innovation – The Next Frontier.

IRTENZ president Dom Kalasih said, “Even though IRTENZ hosted HVTT-14 last year, it’s important we keep our own conference schedule on track at a time when advances in all aspects of heavy vehicle technology, mass and dimension are occurring so rapidly.”

Attendees will be brought up to date on the latest developments in vehicle technology from around the world.

Topics covered will include: • Regulatory frameworks for vehicle innovation

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ On the MOVE

N

ew Plymouth-based Transport Investments Limited (TIL) has acquired Christchurch-based transport and warehousing group, MOVE Logistics Ltd (MOVE).

Formed in 1988 as Pascoe Transport Ltd, the business was bought by Christchurch couple Brendan and Jo Prendergast in 2005 and rebranded as MOVE in 2007. Since they took over MOVE has grown from one warehouse, eight trucks and 18 staff in Christchurch, to multiple warehouses and distribution facilities across Christchurch and Auckland, with more than 100 trucks operating nationally and a team of more than 300 people. The company is now is a fully integrated third party logistics provider with operations spread across both islands.

MOVE provides services in a number of logistics sectors including food, beverage, retail, industrial, and construction, and operates a variety of fleet including crane trucks, refrigerated vehicles and more.

Brendan Prendergast will remain as managing director of MOVE. TIL chairman and CEO Jim Ramsay said, “We are rapt to purchase the MOVE Group of companies. MOVE is a leader in the third party logistics field and has a very impressive national and international client base. MOVE will add to our own business in many ways.”

Prendergast added MOVE was pleased with the outcome.

“We were fortunate to have substantial interest in MOVE from overseas transport operators, but in the end we are pleased to link up with TIL. They are a great fit for our clients and our people.”

Daimler starts production of Fuso eCanter in Europe

M

itsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) has begun production of the world’s first all‑electric light‑duty truck, the Fuso eCanter. Fuso is a brand of Daimler Trucks

Asia.

The eCanter will be produced in line with the conventional Canter at the Tramagal plant in Portugal. The first vehicles will go to customers within Europe and the US within the next month.

Marc Llistosella, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation and head of Daimler Trucks Asia, said with the eCanter, they would become the first global manufacturer to produce an all‑electric truck in series, addressing the growing demand for emission‑free delivery trucks in cities.

The eCanter has a range of 100 kilometres and a load capacity of two to three tons – depending on body and usage.

The vehicle’s electric powertrain contains six high voltage lithium ion battery packs.

Trakker for Kiwi Tracks

I

veco is adding more variants to the Trakker range while expanding the options to existing models, to provide operators with vehicles more suited to New Zealand applications and regulatory requirements.

New is the Trakker 8x4 delivering an extra 6t GVM over the 6x4 Trakker, for a total of 32t GVM. Powered by Iveco’s Cursor 13 SCR engine producing 450hp (336 kW) and 2200 Nm of torque, operators can also select a 500hp (373 kW) and 2300 Nm version.

Both engines are coupled to the standard 16‑speed ZF ECOSHIFT manual transmission, with the option of Iveco’s 16‑speed Eurotonic II Automated Manual Transmission.

The new model will be available in ‘Day’ or ‘Sleeper’ cab with a 5.72m or 6.52m wheelbase.

Iveco’s Trakker 6x4 variant now has an optional 500hp engine to go with the 450hp variant.

Other additions are the option of a ‘Sleeper’, a 5.2m wheelbase, and larger 385/60R22.5 (front) and 315/80R22.5 (rear) tyres. A relay for the trailer brake is now standard, as is a rear cab window on Trakker 6x4 and 6x6 models.

Range‑wide updates across all Trakker models include 55l

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Get Auckland moving!

It’s money in the bank

A

NZIER report commissioned by the EMA, Auckland International Airport Ltd, Infrastructure NZ, Ports of Auckland Ltd, and the National Road Carriers Association said productivity in Auckland could be boosted by at least $1.3 billion per annum if use of the roading network could be optimised.

The report found if Auckland traffic could move on average between 50.5 km per hour to 56.8 km per hour during weekdays it would benefit the Auckland economy by nearly $3.5 million per day.

The funding organisations all agreed the problem demanded action and were united in the view there was a pressing case for decongestion measures to be introduced in Auckland now, not in the 6 to 10 year time frame currently being contemplated by both central and local government.

Some of the highlighted costs included hiring more staff to do the same volume of work; operators making fewer runs over fixed routes over longer time frames to deliver less volume of product; service firms establishing depots around the city to meet service promises; and trucking firms refusing to deliver to some parts of the city.

National Road Carriers Association CEO David Aitken said lifestyle issues caused by congestion made recruiting in the freight sector harder. Increasing congestion had seen travel times increase 47% in just three years and this would only get worse if nothing was done now.

“Five years ago a truck driver could make a living on about 50 hours per week, but now with congestion that’s up to 70 hours a week. People want to spend time with family rather than sitting in Auckland traffic.”

The report said 16.2% of New Zealand’s freight movements were within Auckland and 25% of freight had an origin or destination there. It also made it clear there was no single silver bullet to deal with Auckland’s congestion issues.

Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley said decongestion was critical and said the answer would require a combination of multi-modal solutions and demand management strategies.

“Roading projects such as the East-West Link, a third or even fourth main rail line, central rail loop and congestion charging all have a role to play in freeing up traffic and freight movements.”

Costal rail route close

W

ork on repairs to the Main North Line railway following November’s Kaikoura earthquake has progressed well and the first freight trains may run within a

month.

KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy said when the repair job was completed, it would represent one of rail’s biggest rebuilds in New Zealand since World War II. There were close to 60 major damage sites including tunnels, bridges, embankments, and the line had been buried under more than 100 slips and landslides.

Approximately 60 bridges were damaged and repairs were being carried out at more than 750 sites.

The initial opening is a restricted one, with low-speed, low-frequency services.

Reidy says getting the line open, even on a restricted basis, would ease pressure on the alternate road, which had been the main route to shift freight south since the earthquake. It is expected to take up to 2000 trucks per month off the roads.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Unwanted oil consumption TRUMPED!

R

educed engine wear and lower operating costs are just two reasons why you might want to speak to the people at Trump Oil. The Trump Oil programme uses a High Efficiency Bypass Oil Filter that removes 97% of the contaminants from oil – the oil used to lubricate the thousands of dollars worth of engine componentry that helps to generate your revenue.

As well as extending the life of your oil and engine, you can also expect an improvement in fuel efficiency and it could save your company thousands of dollars a year in oil and engine wear.

Whether you operate one vehicle or several hundred, the savings are significant, but the larger your fleet and the more kilometres, the greater the savings.

Savings in oil consumption start from day one.

The Trump Oil Programme covers the installation

costs on your vehicle/fleet so there’s no expense up front. The savings in wear and tear due to running cleaner oil will become more evident over time.

There’s one simple monthly payment for the programme, which includes new filters and monthly laboratory testing of your oil. Savings in operating costs can range from $800 to $1,200 a month in oil, filters and labour costs.

ount Smart Stadium played host to the country’s biggest mobile classroom at the end of July, an initiative partnered by the Tu Kaha Foundation and the Vodafone Warriors.

The 2010 Mack Super Liner and customised trailer branded in Vodafone Warriors colours and logos stretches to about 23 metres long when it’s opened up to create the entrance to a classroom inside. The sides also fold down to provide plenty of floor space for a teaching area with a big screen.

The Tu Kaha Foundation commissioned the state-of-the-art mobile classroom with the intention of taking its Tu Kaha values programme to decile one schools around the country, with a specific focus on rural areas. The Tu Kaha programme aims to help year five-to-nine children

to make the best decisions possible in life by focusing on a solid value base delivered through a curriculum enhanced by the endorsement of Vodafone Warriors players and management.

The 600hp Mack Superliner powered by a Cummins engine with 18-speed Eaton Fuller Transmission was imported from Australia. Alro Truck Centre painted the truck, and Mills Tui built the trailer. It has a Palfinger lift at the rear of the trailer for wheelchair access, and a King Bars bull bar with a Vodafone Warriors logo etched on each side.

J

ohnny Baxter of Temuka Transport has beaten 16 competitors from across New Zealand in Volvo Trucks’ biennial Drivers’ Fuel Challenge held at Manfeild Park in Feilding. He will travel to Sweden in September to compete in the international division final of the global competition.

The competition aims to find the most fuel-efficient Volvo drivers in the world, and foster a culture of efficient driving.

Contestants drove a FM-540 Volvo truck with I-Shift, and a trailer loaded to 50 tonnes, on a pre-defined route. The winner was determined by a combination of safe driving, low fuel consumption and completing the route within an allotted time.

In the national heat there was a difference in fuel efficiency of 480ml between first and last place. Clive Jones, Volvo’s national sales manager, said that across a fleet of 50 trucks, averaging 200,000km per year, more than 1 million litres of fuel savings were achievable based on these results.

Fuel consumption was measured by the Dynafleet system, Volvo Trucks’ fleet management platform. It captures information on truck performance and driving behaviour and shows key data to drivers through their in-cab screens or smartphones.

The 2016 Volvo Fuel Challenge involved more than 13,000 drivers from 28 countries.

NEW APPOINTMENT

Jason Fox Credit One branch manager – BOP

F

ox spent 17 years working in the transport industry and has a wealth of knowledge and understanding of how it and its associated industries work.

“I think Jason will quickly become a go-to for the financing of trucks and trailers, as he really understands the struggles which often come with trying to raise competitive finance and run a transport business at the same time,” says Credit One New Zealand manager, Lani Fogelberg.

Fox has a large network of financiers at his disposal who are able to fund purchases big or small – and not just trucks and trailers, either.

Fogelberg is excited about Fox joining the Credit One team and encourages operators to contact the branch for any asset financing queries.

SPECIAL REPORT

Manawatu Gorge road link NZ Transport Agency investigates long-term solution Report by Faye Lougher

T

he Manawatu Gorge has been closed since 24 April when two major slips blocked the road. It was initially expected to reopen within a few weeks but a series of further slips have seen it closed indefinitely.

Ross I’Anson, NZTA regional transport systems manager, says they had tried to reopen the road three times in the past three months, but were prevented from doing so by a large mass land movement the size of a two-storey building.

“It’s a big rock face that’s meant to sit still and it’s moved 80mm in one month, which is significantly concerning seeing as it moved 60mm in the prior 18 months.”

I’Anson says it’s a matter of when, not if, another slip comes down.

“It will be bigger than the 2011 slip when it goes and someone will get caught in it I’m sure. It’s just too risky, too dangerous and we can’t put the public through there, so that’s why we’ve closed it.”

If money were no object and time not a barrier, I’Anson says something could be done with the gorge road, but it would be one of the more expensive and time consuming options. In addition, the Te Apiti – Manawatu Gorge Biodiversity Project would mean it would be unlikely to get resource consent.

Several permanent fixes were considered in 2012 after the gorge had been closed for a year following a slip in 2011, ranging from a tunnel to a new road near the Te Apiti wind farm. Expert advice at the time said those options were technically difficult and risky, so the decision was made to clear and reopen the gorge road, with $8.5 million invested in upgrading the Saddle Road. $20 million had been spent over the past five years repairing the Manawatu Gorge, with $15 million of that in 2011-12.

Three national engineering and geotechnical consulting organisations have been invited to tender to investigate longterm options.

“We’re going to say to them, ‘this is what we’re trying to achieve, here’s a rough scope so you’re all pricing on the same thing, these are the limits if you like, of where we’d look, and this is the outcome we want at the end of it’, which will be a single corridor to put forward to the transport agency board to get approval for funding to go forward and do investigations and design.”

I’Anson says they would be looking at an advanced delivery model so they could get straight into design construction, dependent on consenting and property purchase.

In the short term, NZTA is improving signage, pavement marking, surfacing and maintenance of the Saddle Road, and

20

New Zealand Trucking

September 2017

improving traffic flow in Ashhurst.

“In the medium-term we’re looking to achieve a bypass of Ashhurst. The bypass we’re looking at is a current paper road, it’s partially formed but obviously we’ve got people living along the road. No matter what we do, we’re going to be affecting people’s lives.”

I’Anson says the gorge closure has had an impact on Ashhurst residents and measures are being put in place to minimise that impact.

“I totally feel for them, they’re going from a very quiet idyllic lifestyle to possibly having a state highway run past their doorstep. That’s one concern for us, and we’re also looking at how we join back onto the state highway.

“At Woodville we’ve got the opposite, where they haven’t got people going through and they do want them and it’s kind of a yin and yang with the two of them.”

I’Anson says the Saddle Road upgrade project includes widening, strengthening, and putting in safety improvements such as signage, guardrails and sight rails. On one section an additional passing lane will be added.

“It’s a huge improvement from what it was in 2011. The one issue we will still have after we do that is all the passing opportunities are uphill, so we’ll be looking at some additional ones going downhill to reduce that frustration at either end. All of that will happen before the end of this coming summer. I’m not sure if we’ll get all of the downhill passing opportunities in but we will work hard to get at least one each way and maybe some more as well.”

In addition to managing and maintaining the Saddle Road, NZTA is in discussions with Palmerston North City and Tararua District Councils about managing and maintaining the Pahiatua Track. They are also looking at whether to include Ballance Valley Road and Nikau Road through Mangamaire.

I’Anson says while those three roads are in reasonably good condition, drivers needed to take extra caution on Nikau and Ballance Valley Roads.

“Nikau Road is not too bad for the majority of it, there are areas where it’s narrow, whereas going through Ballance the roads are all narrow, there are drop-offs, poor visibility in places, and there are a lot of heavy vehicles going over that way. Fonterra have told us they will be sending about 50 truck and trailer loads a day – full in one direction and empty in the other – at the end of August as the season ramps up.”

Although a final decision is yet to be made on the long-term alternative route, I’Anson says a completely new road is likely.

“Some of the suggestions we’ve had from locals in Ashhurst

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Ross I’Anson.

Right: One of the slips in the Manawatu Gorge this year.

is ‘you should put the long-term alternative on the southern side of the Manawatu Gorge because you can’t have a state highway going through Ashhurst’. And they keep coming back to that, thinking that if it’s on the Saddle Road side we would just make Ashhurst the state highway, but we just wouldn’t do that, we would just bypass Ashhurst. One, because it’s going to impact too heavily on them as traffic grows, and also it would slow down the traffic, so the only win-win we’d get is by bypassing.”

I’Anson says despite the importance to the region, the new road would not be classed as a RONS (Road of National Significance).

“It’s not a RONS, but we’re looking at the same criteria, if you like. We have no road and we need a road. It must be resilient, it must be efficient, it must be safe, it must be the best road we can build to provide access east-west. At a meeting with local stakeholders in Ashhurst the Minister talked about economic development and growth, the link between the distribution hub here in the Manawatu-Wanganui region through to the Port of Napier and the national and international markets. We are absolutely aware and need to look at something that’s going to be easy for transport operators to traverse, whatever that is, as well as make it safe for the general public and commuters.”

I’Anson was asked if the new route would have any effect on other roading projects in the region.

“That’s not a yes or a no answer. Every project in New Zealand needs to stack up in terms of our investment criteria, and the ones that we have going at the moment all stack up very well. So if you looked at the work we’ve got going on at the moment, this would just be another project rather than a replacement project.”

Although the new route will be guaranteed to have an impact on those employed in the transport industry, I’Anson says he has heard very little from them.

“I’ve been in contact with Nigel Shaw from Fonterra about

PH O T O : N Z T RA N S P ORT A GE NC Y

their movements, and with Tom Cloke and Sandy Walker from the Road Transport Association. The difficult thing for us is who is covered through the RTA and who’s not, who do we contact.”

Due to the other Manawatu projects NZTA is working on, I’Anson says they are starting to gain access to some of the industry players.

“We’re producing a weekly update, and we have a new email address (manawatugorge@nzta.govt.nz) and a website (www. nzta.govt.nz/manawatu-gorge) and we’re encouraging people to email us and register to get those updates. It would be great also if in their emails, if they are in the transport industry, they said ‘I’d also like to be part of the consultation for the longterm east-west connection’, because the more people we get from the transport industry, the better.

“Make contact if you need to, through the email address, and keep an eye on the website. If anything significant changes in terms of their business, like with Fonterra, it would be really good for them to feed that back to us. The hardest thing is when we don’t get the opportunity to try and do some advance works and we’re seen to be slow in that, which is probably a fair call, but sometimes it’s because people haven’t told us ‘hey, in two months’ time we’re going to be doing this and it’s going to be this huge increase and what can you do for us?’”

Tenders close in mid-August and a final recommendation is expected in December. That would then go out for public consultation and I’Anson says a permanent fix is expected within three years.

“We’ve got clear instructions to get this right and make sure we’re doing the right thing, because we have got a situation which has thrown everyone out of kilter. It’s a very difficult situation not just for us to manage but also for transport operators to traverse in terms of the corridor, and for ratepayers in Ashhurst and Woodville. There are no winners here at the moment, so that’s why we need to get it right in terms of the long-term option.” 

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ ‘Ticks all the boxes’ can mean so many different things to so many companies.

To some it’s rampant sophistication, to some the latest and greatest, and to others no frills simplicity. Kiwitrans purchased their first new truck earlier this year, a Western Star 4884 with an S60 EGR Detroit Diesel. We went to sample the truck, ask why they bought it, and find out why it was sold to them.

The answers tick all the boxes.

T

he country’s population is exploding, increasing consumption and stretching our infrastructure’s ability to cope without an immediate revamp.

Throw into the mix a couple of mass recovery exercises as a result of force majeure and you realise just how critical moving ‘stuff’ – lots of stuff – around our nation is at the moment. The kicker is, however, that all this is going on at a time when it appears nigh on impossible to put the right number of bums in the seats of our national truck fleet. For the right mind there’s opportunity, but you need to know how to go about it, who to recruit, what to buy, and from whom.

Kiwitrans is a young trucking company that hails from the small industrial hamlet of Kopu, near Thames.

They’re making the most of the opportunities the current environment offers, with strong growth in their first two years. When the time came for their first new truck late last year they chose a Western Star 4884 on the back of a great run they’d had from an earlier secondhand Star of the same spec. They took advantage of great pricing on a spec now one rung off the cutting edge, but still able to deliver the goods.

Gentlemen, chose your… continents

The Atlantic Ocean separates the Americas from Europe and Africa. It also separates one belief in how a truck should feel, with another. Forget dimensions and mass, that’s largely constrained by space on the European side and lunacy on the American. As for the rest of the truck, Europeans have tended toward a softer, quieter, more insular feel, while Uncle Sam’s operators have traditionally preferred a more seat of the pants experience. Even as the European automotive monoliths

24

New Zealand Trucking

have swallowed up their counterparts in the US over the last half-century, they’ve been careful not to eliminate the ‘Americanness’ from the home-grown brands. Aside from needing to placate a very parochial customer base, any ambition to bring the US around to their way of thinking has always been kept in check by the presence of PACCAR, and her two icons of all that’s glorious about US trucking. They, on the other hand, have of course used their purchase of a significant European brand to help refine the traditional aspects of their own products. The whole thing, like the universe itself, exists and evolves as a result of a finely tuned balancing act.

Being the luckiest little country in the world, New Zealand just happens to have the global community’s most cosmopolitan trucking industry by brand. We can choose whichever side of the Atlantic we want, or a mix of both. Our own dimension and mass regime means a mix of Euro and US in a fleet is more often than not the way of things. Take the fleet from which this month’s test truck was plucked. Kiwitrans chose Freightliner Argosys and MAN truck and dog combinations for bulk, timber and pallet work, and Western Stars for container and fast change support work.

The last Western Star we reviewed was the 4900 series belonging to DJ & RJ Transport. We thought it was an outstanding vehicle and, like all the US product now, far more refined inside than most ‘public-bar’ conversations overheard would lead you to believe.

There’s no arguing that sales of the Western Star brand have languished over the past couple of years.

Sure, we live in a time where the cabover is king, and Penske stablemate MAN seem to have no problems departing the sales yards. Even so, this honest toiler is still not claiming its fair share of what it’s entitled to.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Yin and not a yang

Compared with last month’s Mercedes-Benz Actros, climbing into the cab of the seven-month-old Kiwitrans Western Star 4884 was like visiting a parallel universe. Apart from having a cab with driving controls at the front and a sleeping compartment immediately behind, not much else is comparable. And that’s to say nothing negative about the Star, or the Mercedes-Benz for that matter. It’s not a case of one’s light years better than the other, because they’re not a pair that will form the last two in a decision-making process; as we intimated above, that preference will be established at the start. Both trucks are trying to skin the same cat - to cart the most freight and provide the highest return for their owners, and both obviously achieve this because in each case the owner has returned to their respective brand for a second bite of the cherry.

Inside, the Western Star is all ‘West’, with gauges for all occasions and buttons for Africa. There’s woodgrain, stitched upholstery, plastic mouldings and cloth, in either black or varying shades of grey, with plenty of bold badging to clearly identify the truck’s identity. It’s not the full monty spirit of the independent trucker wall-to-wall diamond-buttoned look, it has a slightly ‘fleet’ feel to it, but it all comes together to make a truck you’ll run to with glee in the wee small hours if the America thing is your groove… Joe certainly does.

Driver Joe Timothy absolutely loves his new ride, more than his last one, the first Western Star 4884 the company brought secondhand. But this truck has only ever known the Kiwitrans livery and that’s the way things are likely to remain…for a very long time.

Serious trucks

The floor mat in the passenger footwell is emblazoned with a big red star and the phrase ‘serious trucks’. It’s probably a

sentiment that most people in and around the industry would associate with Western Star. They’ve built their brand around a no-nonsense message that waves the banner announcing a good, solid, basic truck with the big American bonnet. A truck that will serve both its first, second, and – if not tortured beyond reason – third owner well. Because of this they’ve found their homes most often in applications like logging, heavy haulage, and tip work. In terms of a line haul application it’s Halls Group that put the brand on the map, and that’s also where the Kiwitrans’ trucks have been placed; purchased for all the reasons mentioned above.

Kiwitrans CEO David Malanaphy explains it: “We bought our first Western Star because it was time to make a statement.

We’d started out with some secondhand trucks, Freightliners, and they got us running, but I wanted to start getting our true livery out there, livery that said who we were and what we were about. I also wanted a truck that was strong, easy to

A sight that would bring warm fuzzies to Rodger’s heart – the goods heading to Northland Penske style!

Beyond the now Sell them something and you’ve won a sale. Support it and you’ve won a client. Do it a second and third time and you’ve started a relationship. Understand their business and you’ll establish a reputation.

David Malanaphy brought the first Western Star himself, finding a suitable candidate through Dale Greaves at Star Trucks in Nelson. The product performed without fault, so when a second truck of the same specification was needed he made enquiries at Penske Commercial Vehicles in Mt Maunganui. Enter the scene Jim Schumacher.

“Jim’s a great guy,” said David. “He understands where we’re at and listens to what we want and always comes back with realistic options. He got us into the new Western Star at a price we could work with. He’s very old school and trustworthy.”

Since the Western Star deal two MAN TGX 35.540 XLXs with the MAN D26 engines have arrived. “The bodies and trailers on the MANs were built at Domett in the Mount and Jim oversaw the whole thing,” said David.

All of the new trucks are serviced through the Penske dealerships, coming with full service contracts.

“At first it seems a little expensive but the peace of mind and turn-around times on vehicle servicing make it a no brainer. I’m making enquiries to see if our local service guy here in Kopu can start doing authorised routine servicing. We’re flat out during the week, and Saturdays are our preferred service time.

It would suit us if we could achieve that,” David said.

“Malcolm McDonald and Aaron Rogers from the Penske Commercial service team do a great job, nothing is ever too much trouble.”

From Jim’s perspective, he said, “I find Dave to be excellent to deal with and I enjoy catching up with him.

His business is relatively young and I wish him every success in the future.”

service and repair, and would serve a young company well. It needed to make a statement on a number of fronts: image, professionalism and utility. It also needed to be affordable. The Western Star ticked all those boxes perfectly.”

The first Western Star was purchased with a new MaxiTRANS Freighter semi last July and has performed faultlessly from the time it arrived, certainly doing its job on the image front. Rapid expansion in the succeeding months meant more gear was needed, resulting in an order being placed for the new truck, which arrived late in 2016.

The driveline in the new truck comprises the 14-litre Detroit Diesel 102-2U Series 60 EGR motor, producing 386kW (525hp) and 2500Nm (1850lb/ft) of torque. It’s a Euro 5 emissions spec and comes with the usual Detroit five-year or million-kilometre warranty. Behind the engine sits the Eaton 20918A 18-speed AMT transmission and Meritor 46-160 axles on 46,000lb AirLiner suspension. It’s a three pedal AMT box requiring the clutch for complete halts and lift-offs, giving it a traditional feel for low speed manoeuvring.

It’s not the latest engine componentry by any means, but Penske is aggressively marketing the trucks to operators looking for the right truck at the right price. Among the customers most interested in such a proposition will be young companies like Kiwitrans, wanting a truck that lifts their own image and saleability. The support they get will determine where they go next, and once again that’s exactly how the Kiwitrans/Penske relationship has evolved (see sidebar), with two MAN TGX 35.540s firmly ensconced in the fleet since the arrival of those first Western Stars.

Drivelines are drivelines. Ask any civil or mining contractor how many engines their motor scrapers have had and it’s likely they won’t be able to tell you. The Western Star’s robust chassis and simple driveline architecture means upgrading the S60 after a few years and starting afresh with a half-new up-todate truck is totally plausible. Getting two lives out of the rest of the truck is pretty much a given. And who’s to know,

Summed up in a toolbox On a points scale out of 10 the tool box under the Western Star driver’s doors sums the whole truck up really: • Robustness – 10 • Utility - 10 • Ease of repair – 10 • Likelihood to fail due to tech issues - 1 • Longevity - 10 • Ability to keep tidy and presentable - 10 • Looks – (Up to the individual).

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ with powertrain evolution progressing at the rate it is, that investing in this type of deal is not wise buying. A brand new, off the shelf horse like this with warranties and support will give a decade’s impeccable service and the accountant won’t be haemorrhaging if redundancy at a paradigm level is an issue toward the end of its tenure. It’s potentially a savvy purchase whatever way you skin it. People sinking vast amounts of dosh into the latest internal combustion tech today are making a statement that they believe diesel will still be a dominant energy source in a decade, and the trucks they’re buying now will have great resale value for users beyond that timeframe.

That’s probably a fair call, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.

On the road

Pulling out of the yard in the wee small hours of a wintery morning the cab’s alive with the sound of the engine getting into its work. There’s no question its presence is far more apparent in the Western Star than last month’s Actros, probably a good 15 to 20 decibels ‘more present’ in fact, hovering at around the 76 to 78 mark. But it’s totally inoffensive, and because you’re sitting so close to the driver, conversation at normal levels is a cinch. We actually enjoyed the sound of the motor working away on undulations and hills.

There’s a ‘we’re all in this thing together’ feel to the Star that

Kiwi and proud of it. The Western Star is proving to be a great tool for delivering the message.

Best job in the world!

“Dad I want to drive a truck, like you.”

“Don’t be silly boy. You’re not going to drive a truck!”

“Aww really? What would you rather do?”

“Nothing…best job in the world.”

The hilarious anecdote is from a conversation between Joe Timothy and his dad Roger so many years ago. For Roger the battle wasn’t worth fighting; like him, Joe had diesel in the veins.

Forty-two-year-old Joe is a Pukekohe boy originally, attending Pukekohe North primary in the early years. When Roger left his job on a metal truck at Joe Timothy – lives to drive Franklin County Council to take and drives to live. He loves up a position driving for Waikato the Western Star…his kind Pet Foods, he and wife Lovey of truck! relocated Joe and his brother and sister to Te Kauwhata, where Joe completed his schooling at the local college.

Out of school ASAP, Joe took up work as a labourer in Auckland before moving to Wellington in 1997 to work in the demolition game. He came back north in 2000 and worked for a short time on a petrol tanker at Vuksich and Borich in Auckland before taking up a role at Dixon and Haddon – still in Auckland – driving a truck with a Hiab.

By 2003 Roger and Lovey had moved to Thames and Roger

wasn’t in the best of health. Joe, wife Jenny and children Starion, Cabatina-Jo, Zariah, Cairo, and Shardae moved to Thames to be closer to Joe’s mum and dad. Joe got a job working for Peter Chote at Coromandel Meat Transport.

“That was a great year,” said Joe. “I loved the ERF and Louisville, and the crew there was great.”

In 2004 he started working at Provincial Freightlines on a CH Mack B-train curtain unit before moving on to a new Mack Quantum truck and dog curtainside unit. He stayed on post the Linfox buy out of Provincial Freightlines and Total Transport, and when that company made the decision to discontinue the operation at Kopu, Joe jumped at the chance to be part of newly formed Kiwitrans.

“I love the job, the people and the company,” he says. “It’s a tight team, the gear’s great and there’s a fantastic sense of building something worthwhile.”

So the million-dollar question for Joe was, ‘Are there any diesel heads among your children?’

“All of them!” he laughed. “I think we’ll get a couple of truckers out of them, and one could be a girl!”

Running at 44 tonne, performance is not an issue. Ashton’s Hill in the Athenree Gorge near Waihi is despatched without fuss.

the Actros certainly didn’t convey. That was more of a ‘you relax, I’ve got this,’ or a, ‘let me do it, you have no idea’ sort of feel depending on your level of self-esteem; very European in other words.

Kiwitrans run the truck at 44 tonnes with a 26 tonne sticker on the 8x4 tractor. We’ve got about 25 and a half tonne of pavers on, giving us 43.7 tonne gross. At 12 horsepower to the tonne the engine makes light work of it all. Spending a lot of its life in heavy traffic, the 1.9kpl (5.3mpg) life-to-date fuel burn is probably acceptable, all other things considered.

We pass through the city of sails prior to gridlock and on into lower Northland toward Whangarei. The Bombay Hills were dispatched at 45km/h in 14th pulling 1500rpm and Schedways Hill at 38km/h in 11th pulling 1900rpm.

Once again, we hear the same story from Joe on the AMT transmission: “I leave it in auto until the going gets a bit trickier and then flick it in to manual.” It seems to be an oftrecurring theme.

The shifter’s mounted on a tower just to the left of the driver. Joe says they’ve inched it forward a bit in this truck, and that in the old girl it was a tad further back and not a natural drop for your hand from the wheel. The shifter head itself is nothing unfamiliar, with a forward-locking trigger for moving the stick and manual shifts made via a two-way toggle on the right-hand side.

Joe said deep down he’d probably have preferred a stick but is pretty settled with the AMT. The reality is he won’t be on the truck forever and more and more of the next generation have only ever known automated manuals. Give them a gear lever proper and it’s like listening to a teaspoon in a blender. At least anyone will be able to make the Western Star go forward and

If the south side of SH1 on the Brynderwyns is Mordor, then the north is most definitely Hobbiton, and the sooner the southern flanks see the business end of a large tractor fitted with a bulldozer and towing a scoop the better - regardless of what frogs or trees are living there. The dawn run off the northern slopes along the Waipu straights and into Whangarei, looking out across an American bonnet at Bream Head is all that makes trucking great in one magnificent symphony and vista.

The Western Star’s 40” Stratosphere sleeper is a snug hut with plenty of stand and stretch room and a generous bunk.

Joe’s work sees him home almost every night and although he’s always got an overnight bag, it’s not often opened. For this reason the truck doesn’t have the locker and fridge option under the bunk; however Joe has his own little 12-volt cooler at his side. There’s plenty of storage in a cab like this, including internal access to the outside lockers by lifting the bed. With one glaring exception – read on – we thought the fit and finish in the Star was exceptional. The clean matches on the mouldings and general tidiness of assembly impressed.

The passenger seat is bolted directly to a floor covered with a heavy matting that’s easy to clean. We had no complaints about the ride on the left-hand side in the four hours travel up north, even on Northland’s appalling roads. Considering there’s a second steer right below your chuff it was remarkably smooth.

His only quibble about his workspace was the switchgear on the dash. Initially you think the tidy location of all the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Kiwitrans Like his drivers, David Malanaphy has trucks in the blood…owning and running them that is. Son of Provincial Freightlines co-founder and CEO Dave Malanaphy Sr, David grew up around the business, starting out in the workshop, moving on to freight management, operations, and eventually a senior management role.

When Provincial Freightlines was sold to Linfox Logistics in 2007, David was operations manager at ‘Matrix’, an operations management cell jointly owned by Provincial Freightlines Ltd and NZL Group that was tasked with optimising the transport requirement within the supply chains servicing Cater Holt Harvey’s various business units.

Shortly after the buyout David took on a senior operations role within Linfox.

For those who knew him there was an air of inevitability that he would eventually take on the challenge of running his own game. Late in 2014 following a bout of ill health, he came to the conclusion that corporate life wasn’t for him. It was time to move.

With roots grounded in a service-at-allcosts mantra, David started Kiwitrans, a trucking company he wanted to build on the core tenets of service, safety and nationality; messages reflected in the company livery and curtain graphics in the form of a huge silver fern and the phrase ‘Can do safely’.

Starting with two secondhand Freightliners and a hand-picked crew, the business began in January 2015 and hasn’t looked back.

“For us it’s about service and staff,

Performance, professionalism and patriotism are the yardsticks David Malanaphy is building his business around.

looking after both and delivering beyond expectation,” said David. “We’re a tight-knit team and it works really well. Everyone gets on and no one enters the team without me discussing the prospect with my guys. If they think the person won’t fit then that’s huge for me and it’s likely they won’t make it in. Despite current trends we have a waiting list.”

On the subjects of safety, recruitment and commercial integrity, David also has strongly held beliefs.

“Nothing’s more important than the safety of your staff. However, the lack of drivers being trained at the coalface has a huge potential to impact the industry’s safety. Staff could well be the factor that limits our ability to grow.

We’re only a small company but we’ve recently taken on a cadet type driver, training him up to full Class 5, ingraining our culture and core beliefs at the same time. We can’t really afford that, but someone has to do it.”

Today the business operates seven trucks, three Freightliners, the two Western Stars and the two MANs. The

MANs are the first two SCR trucks in the fleet. “The whole emissions tampering thing really pisses me off. It puts us at an immediate disadvantage to those portraying the right thing and defrauding their customers and the community at the same time.

Something needs to be done and done now,” said David.

“I’m not sure what the optimum size for the business is. I don’t want it to grow to the size of Provincial, that doesn’t interest me at all. I missed out on a lot of family time growing up with my father working crazy hours to grow that business. I’m particular about my team spending family time at home in the weekend. It’s a tough one, we’re busy and getting busier all the time. Growth is coming to us. Transport is a tough game, it always has been.

“Nothing’s on the stalk except indicators and dip,” said Joe. “Everything else is a switch on the dash; wipers, lights, engine brake, and cruise, as well as all the things that are normally switches. You’re always looking away to make sure you’re homing in on the right switch. I’m okay now, it’s pretty much intuition, but you miss having the basic stuff on wands.”

The only other niggles we had was access from the left and the big ungainly loom that’s visible when you open the driver’s door. It’s a conventional truck with tool and battery box steps depending on what side you’re on. The steps are great, but on the near side you’re fishing for a grab handle. Not a biggy really, but it’s quite a reach to the one handle that is there. As for the loom, come on Penske people, I’m sure it wouldn’t take much just to clip that up and present a swish looking finish to anyone looking in. It’s a shame because the rest of the assembly

is so ‘trick.’

As Joe unloaded I wandered around the tractor. Not being an engine that requires DEF there’s an immediate sense of space around the chassis; not that the S60’s successor, the Euro 5 DD15, needs DEF either. The set forward front axle on the Star enhances the space further. Even if the motor had SCR and all that goes with it, there’s enough chassis to work with, even on an 8x4 tractor.

As we said above, the entry steps on the driver’s side conceal a toolbox that’s ideal for things like gummies if you were a logger or a tip truck driver – handy dandy.

When you stand back and look at the truck’s 3650mm BBC, it’s amazing what that measure contains. The engine under the snub 4800 series bonnet that barely intrudes into the living area, and the ample space in the cab. It’s a great looking gig.

“The rig is just the style of truck I love,” Joe reiterated. “I always get comments on it. It’s a cool truck.”

We left Northland with a load for Auckland and after that it was pick-ups and head for home. The manoeuvrability of the big quads with two steering axles is always staggering.

Following them in a car as they wind around the city, and seeing where you can get what is essentially a 14.2m long piece of steel that’s roughly two and half metres wide often defies logic. It’s far easier to do it from the driver’s seat looking in the mirror, where they’re only ever about 2” long.

Joe enjoys the variation in the work the truck gets. There’s a collection of semis the two Stars can tow including a skeletal, a flat deck, and a swing-lift, although Joe’s regular is the Roadmaster curtain quad featured in most of the photos. It’s an 07 model that the company gave a ‘birthday’ to before hooking it up behind the new truck.

Joe and the Star fulfil an all-rounders role with anything that can go in a curtain being accommodated, and although bound only by the sea, the bulk of days are spent in and around the golden triangle and a little farther north.

From the wheel

The Western Star is a truck that’s like a favourite pair of old work gloves to be honest, meaning as soon as you’re in it feels comfortable. It’s a truck that’ll be your mate in no time.

Because the snout’s so short the rake angle from the firewall to the grille is quite acute, giving a unique bonnet edge view from the driver’s seat. Placing the truck on the road is easy.

Because the air cleaners are set well forward there’s actually good visibility at intersections, the west coast mirrors needing more ‘peering’ around than the air intakes. In fact they’re so well forward Western Star could actually give the door a few more degrees of opening as the mirror arms stop well short of the intakes.

Everything falls to hand and Joe’s comments on switchgear were bang on. Looks tidy as hell but when you’re unfamiliar it’s a search for some things for sure. At least in the Freightliners you know the weird switch is the wipers! A multifunction wand or a smart wheel is well overdue.

Everything that makes trucking great in one simple scene! Why would you do or be anything else.

The steering was light – very ‘Freightlinery’ in feel (no surprises) – and directional control was great, the twin steer providing its hallmark assuredness; extra nice on a short wheelbase truck with a big straight lump out back attempting to influence proceedings. No issues with the brakes.

Our good old friend the AMT. They’re an exercise in throttle control. Get it right and the world’s a happy place, get it wrong and the world gets ridiculously busy. God bless human intuition.

Summary

There’s no doubt the Western Star was the right truck for the right company at the right time. It drives superbly well and it’s ageless looks and the appeal of an American bonneted truck will always present a spectacular advertisement for Kiwitrans.

Western Star’s reputation for durability and a bulletproof driveline means bringing the engine bang up to date at some point and getting another whole life is not out of the question.

There are a few minor tidy-ups in the cab that would update the experience.

An important thing to remember is the Penske’s sales staff fitting the truck to the need and the circumstance. The right man on that job initially has resulted in the right MAN joining the Kiwitrans operation further down the track…twice. 

More skin in the game Words and photos by Dave McCoid

Ask any coach and they’ll tell you having a strong squad with talent right across the park makes picking the winning team on game day so much easier. In a similar vein, Fuso New Zealand are poised to add playing depth to their numbers.

D

aimler’s restructuring of the import and wholesale business for Fuso trucks in New Zealand last year was never about wanting to maintain a steady as she goes philosophy. The fact they selected a local family owned business whose expertise traditionally lay in the dealer end of the supply chain, heralded their belief a fresh new approach was needed.

…To recap

Fuso New Zealand Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of parent Keith Andrews Holdings Ltd, kicked off in September 2016 with Kurtis Andrews appointed managing director. Fuso New Zealand took over from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation as the importer and wholesale distributor for Fuso trucks in New Zealand.

A crisp and immaculate new facility was opened at 8 Landing Drive, Mangere, comprising an administration centre, parts warehouse with a 10,000 SKU capacity, and a 70,000 square metre concrete holding yard for stock.

In the wake of last year’s upheaval, the Fuso brand suffered an expected dip in sales; however in the first sixth months of 2017 they’re up 114.5% on the same time last year, selling 502 units (472 truck/30 bus), placing them second on the overall

sales rankings for commercial vehicles in the over 4501kg bracket.

What’s next

Given the opportunity to set up the import and wholesale business, the market has eagerly waited to see what the Fuso New Zealand game plan was. Where would the new entity take the brand next? A tough decision to make, but that’s exactly where the answer lay – tough!

The company have been doing significant due diligence on a complementary range in the Fuso arsenal pitched at the vocational, metro and short haul sectors, particularly in

36

businesses where the truck is a key enabler of the core business without being the core business itself. Good examples would be scaffolders, tip work, concrete mixers, site tippers, VSR distribution reps and the like. The new range will be sourced ex-Daimler’s Chennai plant in India, and will offer buyers an easily maintained truck that’s well appointed and very robust.

Having seen the new line-up there’s no doubt it will certainly slot right into the local Fuso range without looking the least bit out of place, but there’s enough difference in the specification to make it complementary and not compete for the same slice of pie.

But before we look at what’s on offer, let’s look at Daimler’s operation in India.

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV)

Located near the city of Chennai, capital of the Tamil Nadu province on India’s lower eastern coast, DCIV’s 162ha Oragadam facility is impressive and pristine. The head office for DICV, the Oragadam operation not only manufactures trucks and buses for domestic and export markets, it is also home to an extensive testing facility, research and development work, and post manufacture body fit-up and customisation.

Although not running at full capacity yet, DICV Oragadam

The DICV plant is typical Daimler, perfectly clean and runs like a ‘well-oiled’ machine, driven by process and quality. Conditions for staff are first rate…it’s only the ambient temperature (regardless

has the capacity to produce 72,000 trucks and 4,000 buses per annum, depending on shift patterns.

Since it’s inauguration in 2012 the facility has manufactured and sold 50,000 trucks locally and exported a further 10,000 to more than 30 countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. It has manufactured export vehicles under the Fuso brand since 2013 and there’s certainly plans to expand the export business into other regions. Parts are also a big business at DICV, with more than 50 million exported across four continents since 2013, and last year the first vehicles in kitted CKD format left for Kenya and South Africa.

DICV is a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG, Stuttgart Germany, and is the only Daimler plant in the world manufacturing product under three brands, Mercedes-Benz, Fuso, and the local variant Bharat Benz (Bharat is the Hindi name for ‘India’).

Manufacturing standards, quality and finish are as one would

expect to find in any Daimler facility with the company’s lean manufacturing programme (TOS - Truck Operating System), multiple in-production inspection gates, and integrated online technician training all present. Every vehicle produced is track tested on a state-of-the-art test track facility located immediately behind the factory.

The Oragadam plant runs on 70% renewable energy, and all runoff water is captured, treated, and reused where possible.

Harmful wastes are handled at an onsite treatment plant.

Employees can further their education in-house and the progression of internal staff is preferred over hiring in outside ‘talent’. The company has 42 employees who have graduated through its higher education programmes. Working conditions in the plant are first rate and immaculately clean. There’s no denying the cost of labour in India is low by western standards, but relative to the local economy the staff are well remunerated with other benefits, including onsite medical facilities and transport to and from work. Shift hours and annual leave are on a par with what we would consider acceptable.

A rising tide

There’s no question India is the next big target in terms of global economic activity. With a population of 1.3 billion and ranked around 141st on the nominal GDP per capita, the

The FI or Canter on roids! A 12 tonne Canter/ Fighter cross-over on 22.5” wheels has huge appeal in all sorts of applications. Seen here on the DICV test track in 13 tonne GVM readyto-work tipper mode.

commercial potential contained within its borders is staggering.

India, however, is a very different proposition to say China, where a higher level of control and restriction on autonomous foreign investment exists in many industries.

The current annual new truck market in India is around 200,000, although as the giant economic engine picks up pace, that figure will likely take off. One look at the state of the average truck on India’s roads and you realise this is a country not well served by its traditional suppliers. Although this is not Daimler’s first foray into the sub-continent (they produced a truck in cooperation with Tata in 1954), their rearrival in 2009 heralded a new era in Indian road transport, and a clear intention on Daimler’s part. DICV CEO Erich Nesselhauf has been in India for nine years and was there when the first sod was turned at the Oragadam site in 2009. He had this to say at a media conference in Chennai recently: “With DICV and our Bharat Benz brand we aim at nothing less than to revolutionise the Indian commercial vehicle market. We are well on track to do so. India was traditionally a dumping ground for old products. You could be sure it was two generations or more behind, but for this courtesy you paid a premium price. We will never do this.”

Think back to Henry Ford: the auto industry has always been adept at improving the circumstances of a community and as a result its consumption. DICV have very clear intentions on their role in India’s future prosperity; being a key player in the creation of the rising tide that will in turn lift all boats.

Trucks for purpose

Walk down the DICV production line and you won’t find a new Actros 2663 GigaSpace about to roll off (although you will find an Actros being built for export). That’s not what this place is about. Trucks made here are about assisting a country and its operators to be viable on a roading infrastructure that’s the best part of century behind the modern world. Even the banked corners on the 1.5km oval test track are no smooth ride and the 1.16km inner circuit includes a bump and pothole track, with some of the indentations measuring 350mm in

38

New Zealand Trucking

depth. Test drivers do an hour at a time on the inner track at a maximum speed of 30km/h and then have an hour off before moving on to oval track work. In addition, there’s an ultrarough test track with bumps and undulations that have to be experienced to fully appreciate. Couple with all this with the general Indian rule of thumb where GVM means what you can put on the thing, and you start to get a picture of how these trucks are built. The traditional export markets DICV serve further indicate the product’s pitch, namely Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

These trucks are no-nonsense and hardy. There’s a ‘but’ though, and it’s a big but. They’re by no means unrefined.

As Nesselhauf was at pains to convey, these trucks will fit comfortably into any modern western fleet. We sampled each of the cab styles that will be heading for New Zealand and came away with few, if any, complaints. In fact the ride in the unladen 6x4 Fuso FZ tractor was incredibly smooth and comfortable, and the internal environment was one where many a day could be happily spent – especially if the truck’s role in the business was the means, and not the end.

It’s for this reason that the trucks produced in DICV have a much broader potential than countries in need of a lift, and that’s why Fuso New Zealand believe they’ll work here. And it’s not just the in-cab refinement. DICV produce a range of ready-to-work trucks in the tipper, mixer, and tractor unit applications. The success of ready-to-work trucks is nothing new to dealer teams nowadays, and at a time when local build space slots are rarer than a soccer ball on Eden Park, the ability to get a competitively priced Fuso ready for some very hard work ‘now’ has all the appeal of a guaranteed All Black World Cup three-peat.

What’s coming

Nine right-hand drive models are available in the New Zealand portfolio, with some creating almost a new niche in the market.

They fall into two platform categories. In the lighter duty range there’s the 9.6 tonne GVM Canter dubbed the 914R, and a bigger brother on 22.5’ wheels, the 12 tonne GVM FI

The FZ in 6x4 trim won’t make the journey to New Zealand but may well be seen in ready-to-work 4x2 tractor spec.

1217R. It has a sibling that’s a 13 tonne GVM ready-to-work tipper, the FI 1217C. Nomenclature designates GVM and horsepower with R and C indicating Rigid and Construction respectively. The engine in all three is the 3.9-litre Euro 5 Fuso 4D37, with 6-speed manual transmission, mechanical suspensions and full air braking.

As we intimated above, a 12 tonne Canter on 22.5” rims is

somewhat of a trailblazer. The FI is essentially a Canter cab on a Fighter chassis and that’s the reason for the big feet. It’s an interesting proposition that’s not without appeal in many applications, even on grounds of fleet uniformity.

In the heavier bracket the base platform is the MercedesBenz Axor. There are six options beginning with the 16 tonne GVM 4x2 FJ 1628R, the 25 tonne GVM FJ 2528R and C, in both 6x2 and 6x4 trim, the 31 tonne GVM 8x4 FO

The key to their success will be the sales teams, ensuring they sell like hot cakes into applications they are built for, and kept away from applications they’re not built for, regardless of the price appeal.

3128C and M (for Mining), and lastly, a 40 tonne GCM 4x2 tractor, the FZ 4028T. All trucks in the range sport the same 210kW 6.374-litre Mercedes 6S20 engine and G131 9-speed transmission. Suspensions are mechanical and brakes full air.

The Mining variant of the FO 3128 comes with hub reduction.

The key to the range’s success locally will lay with the sales teams around the country understanding what it is they have on offer and who the customer is.

“Take the FJ 1628R,” said Kurtis Andrews, MD of Fuso NZ. “Initially you might think ‘why offer this truck when Fuso do a 280hp Fighter?’ But the FJ develops 1120Nm of torque, against the Fighter’s 800Nm, making it potentially appealing to short haul work where a trailer may be required. These are not the trucks you’d send from Auckland to Wellington, there’s premium Fuso models for that, but for distribution and vocational work they represent a fantastic value proposition.”

Driving the trucks in a test environment, it’s difficult to get a good feel for power. Output in some of the models is modest by our standards, but for work in many applications it’s ample and often ideal. The G131 gearbox is a Mercedes-Benz unit using the ‘bump’ it through the horizontal gate system to change the range. It’s a system that’s been around forever now, and it’s fine, but still a cumbersome way to skin the cat so to speak.

Launch for the new range in New Zealand is targeted for February next year and currently there’s a number of units on field trials in various locations around the country. Regardless of DICV’s in-house and global evaluation programmes there’s no substitute for making sure all’s well on New Zealand’s unique playing field. After all, there’s a lot at stake…

Summary

A new range of Fuso trucks intelligently aimed at a specific market. Fuso New Zealand have done, and continue to do, significant background work ensuring the fit is just right and the new trucks build on the work done over the past four decades that today sees the product in the top two in the over 4501kg GVM commercial vehicle sales data.

We think the line-up has the potential to do very well.

Ready-to-work trucks hold huge appeal to those not wanting to immerse themselves in the world of regulation and VDAM nuances, and who just want a great value truck that’s fit for purpose, with a sound warranty and a worthwhile residual value. They have no aspirations beyond the vehicle’s utility value, so give them a workhorse at a great price that’s free of headaches for five years and they’ll have no reason to go anywhere else at replacement time.

The vehicles lend themselves as much to civil site work in tipper format (offering more flexibility than maybe an articulated dump truck), as they do to concrete mixer, stock pick up and bobby calf work, vehicle delivery, and tow truck work. Any application where a truck must not only last, but be easily cared for.

The fact they’re made in India is totally irrelevant. If you think any of your clothes and commodities are made in the country of brand origin in the modern era, you’re naive at best.

What’s coming is simply a new range of Fuso trucks, targeted at a specific market identified by Fuso New Zealand and its dealers. And like any top team blooding new players, it’ll be a fascinating watch as they’re assimilated into the mix and we see where they find their happy homes. 

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ WE’VE ADDED A SMALL UPGRADE.

To further IVECO’s commitment to the New Zealand trucking industry, now every new Stralis ASL comes with a 1 million kilometre engine warranty.

Globally the Stralis has been tested to perform under the toughest conditions (the driveline alone has been tested on the road in excess of 5 million kilometres) and we know this truck is perfect for the everyday challenges of our local linehaul drivers.

When it comes to reliability, very few brands come close to the IVECO Stralis.

he 30th anniversary of this show (it would have been 40 if not for a 10-year hiatus) is an achievement the township of Gore can be proud of. The way locals line the streets show they appreciate the drivers’ efforts and the transport industry as a whole. Young kids waving and getting toots from the drivers is a memory they will have for many years to come.

As with all good truck shows, organiser Rhonda Wilson had a willing team of helpers to make it all work on the day, and the friendly attitude of her crew really made you feel welcome.

North to South – the story of Mack #1200 Story by David Kinch Photos by David Kinch and as credited

The assembly line at Motor Truck Distributors’ factory in Palmerston North has produced many a fine truck over the years.

This month we take a look at the life of Mack number 1200 and its journey so far.

ack in May 1989 Auckland-based temperature controlled logistics company Cool Trans Express purchased two new Mack Ultra Liner tractor units from Motor Truck Distributors in Palmerston North. The second, Mack number 1200, registration OG8545, was picked up from the factory and delivered to the company’s Lambie Drive facility in Manukau, where a sash was presented to mark the occasion.

The MH Mack was set up with a two-valve E6350 Econodyne engine and a 12-speed Maxitorque box. It was put to work doing two trips per week towing a new 43-foot Fairfax semi-trailer on an Auckland to Wellington run, usually via Tauranga or New Plymouth.

When Cool Trans Express was sold to Halls in 1994, the MH Mack went back to Cool Trans Express’ parent company Provincial Freightlines, where it joined the general fleet.

The truck was sold and purchased by the Holmes Group in the Bay of Plenty around 2007 and towed a skeletal semi

carting loaded containers to the Sulphur Point Wharf at Mount Maunganui, and empties out. However, its life at the Holmes Group lasted less than 12 months and the truck was put up for sale once again.

Hamish McIver of McIver Plant in Kaiapoi looked at the Mack while it was for sale. At that stage it had been deregistered and was looking like it may go to scrap. He decided it was too much work, as he needed a truck he could put to work while restoring it.

Meanwhile, Mike Wintour from Jacks Trucks purchased the truck and had it re-vinned. Hamish bought the truck off Mike in Auckland and drove her home to Kaiapoi with a motorbike and BBQ strapped to the turntable that he picked up along the way! The trip, however, was not without its problems. At one point the window wipers fell off so they had to travel to the next town with their heads out the window. After new arms and a quick rebuild of the air wipers, plus an all-day breakfast of course, they were back on the road.

Once home Hamish and his team pulled the Mack apart and gave it a mechanical ‘birthday’ including new brakes and oils. Finally, the Mack was back working, this time with a tipulator doing drainage around the Christchurch streets for Worthington Contracting, and carting rock for river protection around North Canterbury with Hunter Civil. When the tipulator work wasn’t on, the Mack would tow a low loader carrying demo equipment for the Christchurch rebuild.

The truck was a work in progress and where downtime allowed, the team would pull something off the truck and have it rebuilt. The main item that was addressed was the interior, from fully rebuilding the seats to retrimming the whole

much as possible, so it was given a full cosmetic overhaul with the majority of the work completed by McCormick Motor Bodies (MMB). Vaughan is very thankful for the work done on the truck by MMB owner Kelvin Seyb and engineer Ferg.

The Mack was painted into Mainfreight colours by Ian Painter at Brownlie & Scoles in Dunedin and signwritten by Andrew Geddes of Timaru Signs & Graphix Ltd. Vaughan only uses the truck from time to time but it has certainly earned the right to be called a classic. 

interior, including removing the dash and having it resurfaced.

The chassis was sandblasted and repainted, along with the general maintenance required for a 28-year-old truck.

In 2016 Dunedin Mainfreight owner-operator Vaughan Rohan purchased the truck after Hamish put it up for sale on Trade Me. It was Vaughan’s son Jake who first noticed the truck, and he hounded his dad to buy it. Vaughan told him, “If you can get the money you can bid”, and he did!

Vaughan wanted to keep the MH Mack ‘back in the day’ as

Rick Harkness is thrilled with the new Eagle, saying it was well worth the wait.

When hard work is rewarded Story and photos by David Kinch

For more than 14 years Rick Harkness has put in countless hours driving and maintaining the trucks entrusted to him. Finally the hard work has been rewarded with a new 9870 International and he couldn’t be happier.

The deep Ali Arc bumper and off-set Dura-Bright wheels add to the look of the truck.

Right: Rick’s tribute to his dad, Andrew Harkness.

W

hen Gary and Barbara Johnstone bought Brenics back in June 2013, the year after they sold it, they had a dozen trucks and wanted to concentrate on the South Island, where the strength of the business always had been.

This time around the whole family is involved, with daughter Nicola in admin and sons Brendon and Scott in operations and looking after the Sunday loading duties respectively.

With the onset of 50MAX Brenics set about replacing the current 24 and 26 pallet semi-based units with 36 pallet truck and trailers. This took Brenics away from the traditional swap scenario, and instead involved the line haul drivers in the loading and unloading process, creating greater care and accountability for product integrity.

The first of three secondhand 9800i Internationals was purchased in 2014 with the other two added shortly after.

Once given extensive refurbishments, the trucks served the company well and when the time came to add more units to the fleet, two new 9800i Internationals were ordered.

With the addition of this month’s Top Truck, a 9870 International 90TS Skycab sleeper unit, there’s no doubt the company has a new flagship, one that driver Rick Harkness will keep a shine on. Capable of carrying a 36-pallet load, both the Fruehauf truck body and refurbished 5-axle trailer have Carrier chiller units.

As a young boy, Rick was introduced to the trucking industry by his late father, Andrew, who used to take him out in his TK Bedford and D-Series Ford when he worked at South Canterbury By Products. From then on Rick was hooked!

Rick, who organises the Ashburton Truck Show, has been a friend of Brendon’s for some time and with the Johnstones

knowing how much Rick’s father Andrew meant to him, he was given the opportunity to add some additional graphics to the Eagle in remembrance of his dad. Rick’s wife, Jessica, who is a sign writer by trade, designed and made the tribute that appears on both sides of the cab.

In his first three weeks in the truck, Rick has certainly put the big International through its paces, travelling all over the country. “It’s an amazing truck to drive,” says Rick.

The Cummins X15 engine producing 461kW (615hp) and 2780Nm (2050 lb/ft) of torque @ 1150rpm, coupled to the Eaton two-pedal UltraShift PLUS 20E318B-MXP 18-speed transmission allows the big Eagle to soar through the Lewis Pass road. Its performance in the snow on the pass even impressed other drivers – until stopped by the road crew. This meant staying overnight in the Skycab sleeper, and with the temperature outside getting down to -4°C, Rick was very impressed at how warm it was inside the cab.

Gary and Barbara have remained loyal to the people who have helped set up their trucks over the years, with long relationships forged with Marty’s Signs in Mount Maunganui, and Andrew McCall at Tauranga Canvas, the fleet curtain supplier. Willie Malcolm at Malcolm Cab Solutions does little touches on the trucks, a relationship that goes beyond the business to Gary and Willie’s rugby days as kids.

The whole time Brenics have had Internationals in the fleet, they have been well looked after by Intertruck Distributors through sales and aftersales service. Intertruck not only take care of the International product, but other brands as well.

Rick, who is still pinching himself, says, “If it takes 14 years to get a new truck like this, then I’m happy!” 

GOOD ON YA MATE

Time for the chief to rest

I

n our first posthumous nomination for a ‘Good on ya mate’, Graeme Wright from Puriri has nominated the late Don Maxwell.

Don passed away on 15 June aged 92 after a lifetime of work in the trucking industry.

Don was renowned for his colossal appetite for work, never resting until all that needed to be done was done. At his public service held in the Puriri Hall on 19 June, Don was remembered for his encyclopaedic knowledge of farm locations on the Coromandel and his willingness to accommodate and train the next generation. Late in his working life Don suffered an accident on the job that cost him a leg. He would spend the next few decades never far from the passenger seat of a truck – especially a stock truck – that was heading anywhere at all, it didn’t matter. 

Mo Sewell Sundays are usually pretty quiet in Levin so when an interesting load stopped on SH 1, Faye Lougher was quick to corner the driver for a Just Truckin’ Around.

Driving a 2017 Freightliner Argosy 560hp DD15 with SmartShift, Mo Sewell had come from Hastings and was heading south to Christchurch with the top section of the Memorial Gateway being built near Christchurch Airport.

Mo has been driving for 36 years and said he did everything from flat deck to over-dimensional loads – “tarps, chains and straps – that’s me”.

“I just fell into driving. I did my apprenticeship and carried on, but instead of working on them, I drove them.”

When asked about his load, Mo agreed it was an oddball load to be travelling through on a Sunday, but that was due to restrictions on what ferry the truck could be taken on. “It’s the very last piece of the arch.”

Mo loves the variety truck driving offers. “Especially my job, I go everywhere.”

As for the main problem facing the industry today, Mo’s answer came quickly. “The biggest hassle is every clown on the road has to pass that truck.”

Mo picked the question ‘acoustic or bass’ and said for him it was bass.

Pete Harrison Pete Harrison works for Fulton Hogan’s heavy haulage division based out of Dunedin. Although the foreman and normally found driving one of the pilot vehicles, he can jump into a number of trucks when required. It was Pete’s turn for fuel in Milton when Craig Andrews bailed him up near the end of autumn. Pete was driving a 620 Scania with a load of power poles bound for Alexandra from Dunedin. The Scania is fairly new and drags a bitumen tanker around the south in summer and a number of other trailers when required during the off season. It’s a pleasure to operate, says Pete.

Eagle eyed readers will recognise Pete from the RTF national drivers champs last August where he won the Dunedin round.

He got into driving when he was 16. His dad owned a joinery business and Pete used to do the furniture deliveries in a petrol powered D600 Ford. He has now been in the industry for 35 years, the last 12 and a half with Fulton Hogan, which he rates highly as a company to work for.

He enjoys his own company but works as part of a team with great spirit in the heavy haulage division. The variety of work and the countryside this role offers him is also hugely appealing.

The downside for the industry in his mind would be the pressure placed on drivers with time constraints, and one thing he has really learnt in the heavy haulage business is patience.

Pete chose Vegemite over Marmite for the vexing question.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Just Truckin’ Around the World Mohammed Irfan New Zealand Trucking magazine’s Dave McCoid had the opportunity to chat recently with some Indian truck drivers waiting on the side of the road in Oragadam near Chennai, for their booking slot to load out of the Daimler factory.

Mohammed Irfan was keen to try and breach the challenges that language barriers present. Although he lived not far from Chennai, he travels the length and breadth of India (a little over 12 times the size of New Zealand with 305 times the population) carting anything and everything in the 180hp Cummins powered Tata he drives for Express Roadways PVT Ltd. The truck ran a manual transmission and tares at 10 tonne with GVW of 25 tonnes, allowing a 15 tonne payload.

Mohammed was on his own at the time, however most trucks on line-haul work in the subcontinent run two, and sometimes three-up, with each driver allowed to drive a maximum of 600km a day. In many instances it’s not possible due to road conditions and congestion.

The huge open cabs look somewhat primitive, they encourage breeze and offer good shade while waiting the three days to load in temperatures well into the thirties.

Although we cannot comment on Mohammed’s situation, subsequent enquiries revealed a truck driver in India earns around 20,000 rupees a month ($422 NZ). 

The brand that many built Story by Faye Lougher Photos by Faye Lougher and as credited

The unassuming man behind Jackson Enterprises is keen to give credit where he feels it is due, saying his success is a result of team effort.

“A

business of this size could never run without a good team of people around me,” says Trevor Jackson. “Right from the quality assurance, the management structure and plans, the guys in the drawing office and the store, to the guys on the floor, they are all part of the big picture.”

A diesel mechanic by trade, a series of events led to Trevor establishing Jackson Enterprises in the early 1990s.

“I did my time with Ryan’s Garage here in Pahiatua, and after that I worked for Eric Gleeson & Sons. I was a driver and mechanic, and spent my time fixing things. I’ve always enjoyed building things. Back in those days I was servicing their trucks, tied up with my trade.”

Trevor moved on to Feast Contractors, making good money as a mechanic working on motor scrapers at the open cast mines at Rotowaro, near Huntly. When he moved back to Pahiatua he worked on the development of the LPG-powered

trucks for Tui/Kiwi Dairy Company, before starting up his own truck servicing business.

“The waiting lists for new truck bodies was getting longer and longer with the already established body builders, so we ended up being approached to see if we were interested in building a new stock deck.

“My first attempt was a stock deck, and then an older trailer rebuild. The first stock deck was for David Pope and the first highly modified trailer was for Stringfellow Contracting. Our first complete unit was for JP Trucking – a complete truck and trailer unit.”

Trevor says right from the early days it was vital they looked after the rural side of trucking, and he would like to say a big thank you to all the companies and loyal customers he has dealt with over the years.

“Our whole industry revolves around the rural sector. There’s a number of people, like Stringfellow Contracting and David Pope Transport, who gave me the opportunity to manufacture something and put it out there on the road.”

Trevor says they made a few stock decks and tipping units, which gave the company a huge opportunity to expand. He uplifted the old Ministry of Works workshop from the Turangi Tunnel Project and moved it to the site the business still occupies today in Queen Street, Pahiatua.

“I took six or seven guys up there to dismantle the workshop and transport it back to Pahiatua. What we kept was a quarter

of it; I sold the rest to pay for the land. The original building covered an acre and a half.”

Over the years the business has expanded from a single workshop to three massive workshops as well as aluminium, steel and finishing shops. Initially there was just Trevor, Bruce Falconer (whose son Dylan now works for the business) and apprentice Bevan Wolland, but the company now runs a staff of 48. Trevor says the trailer industry is doing very well at present but needs more tradespeople to keep up with demand.

“We were experiencing great growth in 2015, and 2016 was one out of the bag, but 2017 is following it very closely and may be even better. I’ve got two guys in the drawing office, and we’re always looking at new ways of doing things. The industry has been so busy with the nuts and bolts and now we need the tradespeople – we could do with hundreds of them.

The company has now taken on a couple of immigrants and if they come up to the company’s requirements, we’d have no hesitation employing more.”

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Innovation is a core tenet of the Jackson philosophy. The company manufactures in both steel and aluminiumn to ensure customers receive optimal outcomes.

Jackson Enterprises builds a range of trailers, including livestock, curtainsider, B-trains, quads, tipping, and specialist orders such as transporters, hiab trucks and fifth-wheels. Trevor says today businesses are looking for versatility so they can get the most out of their investment.

“Take split tippers for instance. Years ago we only built one or two a year, but now we can’t stop building them. It seems to be a phase at the moment, going away from specialist bath-tubs to a multipurpose unit. This allows them to carry loads each way that are really different, like fertiliser and then timber. There is a trend towards more multipurpose than single purpose.”

Trevor says they are currently building trucks with removable sides so the bins can be taken off and a stock crate or a milk tanker put in its place.

“You bring the truck in and take the crate off and cart milk,

then put a tipper on and cart bulk products.”

As of May 2017 Jackson Enterprises had built a total of 772 trailers, now averaging about one a week. While there is a fairly heavy emphasis on aluminium chassis and trailers, Trevor says they will build whatever their customer wants.

“Back about eight or nine years ago the government couldn’t decide what they were going to do to about the Land Transport Act and that brought a lot of hardship to people. People held off building new trailers, as no one knew what the changes would mean. We were drastically down in staff numbers. But when that was all clarified there was room for movement, room for building things outside the square, and nowadays the customer can get what they want, within reason.”

Trevor says he thinks it’s worth mentioning that there are some boundaries, such as length and width, and the VDAM rule has only advantaged a few operators.

A 250 tonne transporter for the Stockton Mine that took nine months to build is one of the standout memories for Trevor.

New Zealand Trucking

“It has given the odd operator an advantage in a few areas; you could say it’s provided some level of tolerance to a selected few.”

Among the hundreds of trailers they have built, there are a few that have stood out for Trevor.

“There was a 250 tonne transporter for the Stockton Mine – that was a nine-month build. And we built a special quad with roll-up curtains for the export of GIB board.”

Trevor says Jackson Enterprises has an excellent reputation, one that has been built up by the people he has around him who enjoy doing a top class job.

“You’ve got to point the finger at those who work for me.

The business has always been creative from our start up and our point of difference is having long-term staff who imagine seeing great products going on trucks. We have got a great reputation for our finish – a lot of it hinges back to servicing, to seeing things right. Our warranty is driven by putting things right.”

Although retirement is not on the immediate horizon, Trevor is looking to the future.

“The key is the people you have around you. To be fair I’ve got a great team around me. I have a husband and wife team [operations manager Paul and PA/right-hand woman Jo Hirst] who have been working for me for years, and along with them, other people have to be given the opportunity. It’s time to let somebody else manage the opportunity I was given. You can’t do it alone. We’re all getting older and we need someone younger around us to make decisions.”

Trevor is already working on inspiring the next generation of innovators, heading to a local college to give a talk on how he started his business.

“I’m going to talk about how fixing trucks gave me the opportunity to spread my wings and earn the trust that saw people want me to make things for them.” 

The small moving the big Words by Faye Lougher, photos by Joe Howland and as credited

‘The Small Moving the Big’ is more than a catchphrase for load pilot Joe Howland – it has a more personal connection.

J

oe is a little person, as is his wife, Hollie, and their son, Jonty, who is six and mad about trucks.

As a child Joe dreamed of being a truck driver, but his small stature along with the need for adaptions that could limit the truck to Joe being the only one to drive it, prevented him from following this career path. The father of one of his school friends owned a trucking company, Garrity Bros in Greytown, and Joe says he would spend all his spare time there, helping out where he could. This is what kept Joe’s passion for trucks alive – being able to immerse himself in the trucking life without the need to drive them.

“When it came time to leave school I went down south to Christchurch looking for an automotive apprenticeship but couldn’t find anyone willing to take me on. I did a bit of work for family friends in their workshops because they knew me, and my determination to succeed. My size meant I could get into the engine bays and foot wells without bending my body into uncomfortable positions that an average height person would.”

An apprenticeship wasn’t the only thing Joe was chasing – he admits he’d followed Hollie there!

Joe eventually began working in a supermarket as a storeman, and got tired of people assuming that because of his height he couldn’t drive the forklift. Once he mastered driving a forklift, he spent the next four years or so doing that.

The couple went to Australia for about a year, with Joe taking on a customer service job in Melbourne.

“We came back to Wellington and I then got a couple of jobs in technology and inventory companies, driving forklifts, organising logistics and booking jobs, but I was made redundant due to a downturn in the dairying industry.”

In 2012 Joe heard about a job with the New Zealand

community.

Transport Agency in the control room and he’s been there ever since.

“That’s when I learned about becoming an over-dimensional load pilot, what was involved, and that really intrigued me. I always wanted to be on the road so I got my Class 2 pilot’s licence.

“I’ve been doing it for about a year now. I work shifts, and on my days off or between shifts I do piloting. The loads have varied over the time – mostly wide loads with the odd long load.”

Joe contracts himself out and works closely with other Wellington/Kapiti-based pilots.

Joe says the best part of the job is the ability to travel around the country.

“My office is different every day. The trucking community is different from everywhere else. It’s all about whether you can do the job or not.”

Hollie uses her background in dispatch and administration to help Joe with the day-to-day running of the business and has now gained her Class 2 load pilot’s licence.

“She knows the terminology so she understands what I do.

I would like to do this full time and build the business up. We have set out 2, 5, 7 and 10-year goal plans, and by year two the plan is for me to be piloting full time.”

Joe says he hadn’t experienced discrimination from the transport industry due to his size, that all people care about is whether he can do the job or not.

“I relied heavily on my CV in past employment so they can see ‘this guy has got his qualifications and experience’. Once I have done the job and then meet them, they never bat an eyelid; they are all pleased the job was done. My reputation is starting to get out. If you do a good job and it doesn’t cost them money with things going wrong, they are happy.”

Joe says it’s always a bit nerve-wracking doing the first load in a new area.

“I did the Rimutaka Hill and thought it would be nervewracking. I’ve driven the hill hundreds of times but never as a pilot but there were no dramas. Most people obey your instructions but there are the odd few who don’t.”

Joe’s pilot vehicle has the slogan ‘The Small Moving the Big’ and he says people always smile when they see it, then give a bigger smile once he hops out.

“A lot of pilots just drive unmarked vehicles but I wanted to have that edge, to be different.”

Joe feels there is a good balance between working for NZTA and load piloting.

“We’re here to help. Prior to working in the control room there was little to no communication between pilots and the Transport Operations Centre (TOC). Over time I have been developing a process that would bridge the gap in communication between TOC and pilots who were on the road and notify them of crashes, delays and roadworks that would affect their travel. It’s starting to make a difference. Pilots are now calling in and checking for any active roadworks and also asking for the STMS contact details within the Wellington network, and this is having a positive effect for all involved.”

In his spare time Joe likes to spend time with his family and friends, and when the weather is fine he enjoys a spot of fishing. He’s a great fan of Lego, and belongs to a local Lego group that puts on shows with the proceeds going to a local charity. His passion is making his own Lego creations, mostly trucks and heavy haulage.

Stewart Osborne’s operation has always been based around the truck and dog combination. Taking advantage of the PBS environment with the same type of set up seemed a natural progression.

tewart Osborne was packing his chamois away after cleaning the bugs off his new T909 and 5-axle dog combination.

“The bugs were thick last night when I came out of Sydney with this load of fertiliser,” Stewart said as he introduced himself.

He’s been around machinery since he was a kid growing up in Central West NSW, where utes, tractors, trucks and basically anything with an engine in it go hand-in-hand. He’s seen his fair share of rough rugged roads and changed a tyre or two when “it’s 110 in the water-bag”.

Stewart’s been loyal to the Kenworth product all his life.

“I know how reliable Kenworth trucks are because I’ve had Kenworth products before and they’re still going strong,” he said.

He explained that he’d had experiences with other brands in the past and was extremely disappointed when he discovered that he was paying for some items that had been removed from the vehicle because they didn’t suit his application.

“Basically those trucks arrive in Australia on a ship in a certain spec and if you want it to suit your application then you’re charged not only for additional items you require, but also for the parts they remove.

“There was none of that with the Kenworth,” Stewart revealed. “I sat down with Chris McDevitt from Inland Truck Centre in Wagga Wagga for couple of hours and he built up exactly what I needed on his laptop and there was no pulling bits off and then adapting something to fit. It was a completely

new vehicle specifically designed for my application.

“The fact that we could specify the Kenworth with the new Electronic Brake Safety System (EBSS) option from the factory was one of the big attractions of purchasing this new Kenworth, because we could take advantage of the new PBS gains.”

“I’m not sure what it’s like in the other states, but here in NSW I only have to register one trailer and one prime mover,” Stewart said. “That’s one registration and insurance less than a B-double.

“But the biggest advantage is in the ratio of the gross weight compared to the tare weight,” Stewart continued. “This combination full of fuel has a tare weight of 20.5 tonne. We are loading it to 59.5 tonne on the RAV B-double network.

Compare that to the average B-double that only gets 40 tonne payload and I’m miles in front with far less operating expenses.”

When Stewart runs the combination on the HML B-double network he can increase his gross combination to 63 tonne, picking up an additional 3.5 tonne payload.

“Another advantage with this 5-axle dog combination is it is easier to get a driver as you don’t need a multi-combination licence to drive this set-up.”

According to the National Transport Commission (NTC), Performance Based Standards (PBS) offer the potential for heavy vehicle operators to achieve higher productivity and safety through innovative vehicle design. These gains are typically not available under conventional ‘one size fits all’

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... prescriptive mass and dimension rules or the state-based permit system.

When it was introduced back in mid-2011, PBS basically brought a fresh alternative approach to heavy vehicle regulation. It focuses on how well the vehicle behaves on the road through a set of safety, road wear and bridge loading standards rather than how big and heavy it is as in length and mass.

“In other words, PBS governs what a vehicle can do, not what it should look like. PBS sets minimum vehicle performance standards to ensure trucks are stable on the road and can turn and stop safely. We have tagged them SMART trucks – because they work smarter,” an NTC spokesperson said.

In Queensland, like the southern states, truck and dog trailer combinations that meet the PBS Level Two will be granted access on a permit basis, enabling them to carry increased mass (57.5 tonnes, up from 50 tonnes) on the B-double and Higher Mass Limits (HML) network.

Don Hogben, director of vehicle management and safety for VicRoads said: “Stringent testing on a number of 7-axle truck and dog trailer combinations have been assessed against the national Performance Based Standards. The results have shown that well designed truck and dog trailers at up to 57.5 tonnes and 20 metres long are dynamically stable and can pass all the PBS Level Two standards. This is great news for operators of truck and trailer combinations, especially those involved in quarrying and construction.”

In Victoria alone there are in excess of 2,000 truck and trailer combinations transporting a range of quarry products, such as cement, sand, rock, pre-mixed concrete and asphalt.

Philip Lovel from the Victorian Transport Association added: “The increase to 57.5 tonnes is a 15% productivity increase for the quarry industry. Over time this will mean a reduction in the number of trucks and trailers on the roads for the same freight task, which will not only reduce congestion but will also see a decrease in carbon emissions. Furthermore, these vehicles will be safer as they’ve passed a PBS assessment.”

Kenworth’s EBSS safety package is founded on the proven Bendix ABS-6 Advanced anti-lock braking system. It also incorporates ESP software that Kenworth has calibrated specifically for its model range and Australia’s unique operating environment and applications. EBSS incorporates a variety of safety features including ABS, Drag Torque Control, Traction Control and ESP. Stewart also cited the improved cabin appointments and ergonomics – such as the new doors with standard electric windows and central locking along with the wider padded arm rests with integrated window and mirror controls – as welcome additions.

“Safety is paramount in our business. To comply with the work safety requirements, we’ve had to fit additional components like the large wide-angle mirror to the left-hand side, which reduces the blind spot up the left side and front of the truck. We’ve also fitted an audible warning which sounds off if the doors are open, and the park brake released,” said Stewart.

“All the trucks carry first-aid kits, fire extinguishers, and we even have a special hammer beside the driver’s seat designed to smash glass,” he added.

Under the hood of this T909 is the ADR 80/03 compliant ISX Cummins engine rated at 550hp that develops 1850lb/ft torque. Transmission is Eaton’s 18-speed coupled to Meritor RT46-160 rear axles with cross locks in both axles riding on Kenworth’s Airglide 460 rear suspension.

“The versatility of this T909 is another big advantage to us, that’s because it is rated up to a 90-tonne road train capacity. If required I can also pull an additional dog trailer on road train routes which increases productivity yet again,” Stewart said.

“Also, the visibility and manoeuvrability around the tight farm sites of the T909 is better than you’d expect when you consider it is really quite a big heavy-duty specced truck.

“I really love the look of the T909, but from a business point of view I have to leave my emotions behind and focus on the productivity gains to stay ahead of the game when it comes to speccing my trucks,” Stewart concluded. “The fact that the T909 turned out to be the ideal model for our application is just a bonus. 

The truck and dog offers other cameo advantages also, like being able to unload both units into the auger without the need to unhook.

INTERNATIONAL TRUCK STOP

Euro stock Story and photos by Paul O’Callaghan

David Clarke’s immaculate Scania and Pezzaioli trailer create a positive image, both on the back lanes of Ireland and the highways of Europe.

I

t had been a few years since I had carted livestock in Europe, so when an old colleague phoned to say he was badly stuck and needed someone to cover for him, I was happy to oblige. The meeting point: a farm outside of Mullingar in the midlands of Ireland, in May 2016. The truck: a 2010 Scania R620 Topline tractor with mid-lift steering axle. The trailer: an as-new aluminium Pezzaioli double-deck trailer manufactured in Italy. The job: load cows for England, then run empty to central France to collect a full load of breeding stock for Ireland.

European livestock crates are worlds apart from those in New Zealand. The upper deck (or decks) can be lowered to the floor on hydraulic rams and the roof height can also be adjusted, all operated by remote control. Add to this ventilation fans, a pressurised drinking system for the animals, adjustable vents, and on this model, an on-board power washer.

As today’s load comprised a mere 32 head, the upper deck was raised and we penned the cows off using two diving gates hinged from the roof. After negotiating the narrow farm lane, I made a sharp left turn in the sleepy village of Kilbeggan (made famous by its whiskey distillery), before joining the motorway

which connects the west of Ireland with its capital Dublin, also known as ‘the smoke’. With the cruise control set at the maximum 90km/h, I slunk into the luxurious leather armchair and enjoyed the V8 orchestra beneath me.

My first stop was at Frank Lenehan’s farmyard in Sandyford, Dublin, which is an approved Department of Agriculture lairage. Here the cows are examined by vets, who also ensure that the animals’ passports are in order.

The quaint yard nestled in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains comprises old stone buildings and walls, a reminder that it was designed in the days of horses and carts as opposed to double-deck cattle trucks. After unloading the cows, I wash out the trailer and shake out an entire round bale of straw as bedding for the cows, a legal requirement for cattle travelling long distances.

Once loaded, it is a tight squeeze to make the afternoon sailing out of Belfast. In the old days, I would have been held up at the border from the Republic into Northern Ireland, menacingly patrolled by armed British soldiers. Today, there is a new motorway and a change in road signage is the only clue that you have crossed into the north.

Once aboard the Stena ferry, the prevailing sound is the excited shrieks of kids on a school tour, much to the dismay of the weary drivers trying to grab 40 winks in the so called ‘quiet lounge’ in the commercial drivers section.

Two hours later the craggy coast of west Scotland signals our arrival in Cairnryan. The A75 road from here to the M6 motorway is a notorious, narrow stretch of single-lane highway that bends and twists through the green countryside. This road is revered as the Holy Grail for Irish fridge men in V8 Scanias

Poole to Cherbourg ferry. French registered truck owned by Huets was transporting Angus cattle from Scotland with two drivers.

with bellowing side pipes and a multitude of spotlights. Known in the industry as ‘tangs’, these self-proclaimed ‘kings of the road’ are never seen without lace-less boots christened ‘75s’ as a homage to said stretch of road!

As darkness descends, I make my way along the M6 motorway that dissects the lonely Pennine range. Rounding into the lights of Birmingham city, it’s not long before I leave the M5 motorway, winding my way west along the A44, which is the main artery into Wales. Close to the market town of Bromyard in Herefordshire, I reach for the mobile phone to get directions.

David, the farmer, is expecting me, and is keen to unload the cows when I arrive in the small hours. Having used French cows in the past, he explains that his 400-cow dairy is now mostly Irish stock, owing to their hardier nature and better yields.

Parked between old red brick buildings, I sleep soundly, oblivious to the hum of the milking machine. After a cabbrewed cup of tea, the next mission is forking out the bedding and power washing the trailer, both inside and out.

Bidding my farewell at midday, I point the truck in the direction of Poole, a small port on the southern coast of England. As I am not due to sail to France until the following morning, I stroll into town to sample some of the local ales, rounding off the day with an obligatory late night chicken vindaloo – a very ‘English’ tradition indeed!

Much to my surprise, I am awoken in the morning by the sound of cattle bellowing. Peeping through the curtains I spy a flashy rigid and drag Scania belonging to Huets from France parked alongside. Looks like they are loaded with Angus cattle for France. There are only seven trucks on the crossing and after a breakfast of bacon and scrambled eggs, I climb into my cab bunk, hoping to shake off the hangover!

We are greeted by a beautiful afternoon as we approach the port of Cherbourg. As only livestock and refrigerated trucks are permitted travel on a Sunday, I have the Autoroute to myself and skirt around Le Mans and Tours, passing over the mighty river Loire, which is in flood, surprising for this time of year.

Switching on to the national 79 south of Bourges, I head

east through the rolling green countryside towards Macon, my sights set on parking for night at les Routiers de Euroscar, Vitry-en-Charollais. Routiers are the traditional French truck stops, and are renowned for serving quality food. To combat the deluge of Eastern European drivers who will use the facilities, yet won’t spend money on the restaurant, a barrier system has been installed. Once you spend money in the restaurant, your exit ticket is validated. I find a parking spot among the lines of French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian trucks. The buffet starter contains an array of salami, cheese, fish, potato salad, etc. Aware that the French version of ‘medium rare’ will only catch a fleeting glimpse of the pan, I ordered mine ‘bien cuit’ (well done) to avoid a bloodbath on my plate.

Next morning, the farmer arrives and leads the way to his farm. Over a cafe au lait, we discuss the loading plan, which has six different lines of cattle. After a bit of head-scratching, we load up quality breeding stock that are a mixture of Aubrac, Saler and Charolais, heifers, cows and bulls.

The sun is shining as I join the A6 Autoroute and face her for home. As the 6x2 limits the amount of fuel I carry, and with diesel being so expensive in the UK, I make sure to fill up in Calais, lowering the airbags on the drive axle as I nervously creep under the canopy at the Total service station at Junction 2, a stone’s throw away from the notorious ‘jungle’ refugee camp.

Inevitably, I am approached by three young men of Arabic descent. “Engeland” they enquire, oblivious to the fact that I am loaded with cattle. No problem, I reply, and open the inspection door where a Charolais bull eyeballs us. The extremes to which they will go to in their efforts to reach ‘Engeland’ apparently have limits. That aside, I also check the trailer chassis storage boxes, as it is easy for a man to fit in there.

As I pull up alongside the dock, I watch a very entertaining game of cat and mouse being played out between the French customs and the driver of a Northern Ireland registered Iveco.

The truck was parked suspiciously alone in the lanes after the other vehicles had boarded the ship. The ‘douanes’ (customs) circle regularly in their Citroen van, looking for the driver, who I briefly caught a glimpse of as he dodged his way, James Bond

style, from the amenities block. The truck is clearly a partaker of ‘the beer run’, a slightly dubious activity where many loads all pass into the UK using the one document, thus avoiding duty. It has been going on for some years and it is never hard to spot a likely candidate’s vehicle.

Out on the open deck of the Pride of Canterbury, P&O’s longest serving ship, seagulls wail as night descends on the white cliffs of Dover.

Up at the crack of dawn, I begin the long trek up through the middle of England. London with its chaotic M25 is always the first bottleneck a trucker is relieved to have behind him.

After this, I enjoy a leisurely drive up the M11, on to the M1 across the scenic A66, up the M6, before heading west through Scotland along the A75. Timed to a tee, I roll into Cairnryan and drive straight on to the top deck of the P&O ferry as the sun sets.

Clearing the veterinary inspection at Larne in the north of Ireland was interesting to say the least, and having all I’s dotted and T’s crossed is definitely advisable. I tread carefully along the hilly and windy A36 to Ballymena, which runs close to Slemish Mountain, passing the homestead yard of McBurney Transport Group. Upon reaching the farm in Stranocum, I offload the cattle and get my head down. The next day runs smoothly, meeting farmers in a lay-by outside of Armagh, where the animals are cross loaded onto tractor trailers.

By late afternoon, I pull into David Clarke’s farm at Loughnavalley and unload the remaining Salers. All that is left now is to fire up the on-board washer and leave everything spotless. Thinking that the truck will be parked up for a few days, David informs me, “Ollie (the regular driver) is heading to the UK in the morning to load cows for a show in the east of France”.

With paperwork, regulations, security issues and different languages, driving in Europe is quite different from the southern hemisphere, but is a challenging, enjoyable and very interesting experience nonetheless. 

BUSINESS PROFILE

AUSblue NZ Australia’s largest manufacturer and distributor of AdBlue® diesel emission fluid (DEF) has recently set up a New Zealand operation based in Tauranga. Directors Andrew Morrell and Wayne Shaw talked to New Zealand Trucking about who they are, their approach, and their plan in the New Zealand market.

“I

t’s not about the end label you put on it, we’re not precious about that,” said Andrew Morrell. “It’s about knowing that the quality of the product is absolutely first class and understanding what we’re a part of.” The company he co-owns with fellow directors Pat Maguire and Wayne Shaw today supplies 40% of Australia’s Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) requirements through a comprehensive supply chain with manufacturing locations in Brisbane, Mackay, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Tasmania. That equates to three million litres a month, and growing.

But the company doesn’t see itself as a just another player.

It’s underlying drive is rooted in two main areas; firstly, to ensure end users that the product they are using meets the most exacting requirements, giving them assurance about

what’s being poured in the tank on their vehicle and knowing warranty claims won’t be questioned on the quality of DEF they are using. Secondly, to look at the entire supply chain and understand the importance of closing the loop.

“DEF is a system developed to help maintain the planet’s viability. It’s about the environment and its protection.

What’s the point of manufacturing and distributing a product whose genesis was for that very reason, and then not taking an interest in how packaging and plastic containers are recovered and reused. That’s why in Australia we’ve developed a comprehensive closed loop distribution and recovery solution with our own fleet of trucks and containers to ensure everything is recovered, cleaned and reused,” said Andrew.

“We’re certified by the VDA (see sidebar) to use the AdBlue® name, and we’re also ISO9001 certified, further ensuring the robustness of our processes.”

New Zealand will be a stand-alone operation under Wayne’s charge. A Kiwi, Wayne is keen to bring the family home and give New Zealand the opportunity to join the AUSblue story.

“Manufacture will happen in Tauranga, with distribution in Tauranga, Auckland, Palmerston North and Christchurch,” said Wayne. “We sell to resellers and end users dealing in bulk.

Dealing with small volume packages is not what we’re about, we’d rather leave that to those set up for it. What we want those customers to know however, is the product we supply for their end users is the best, and we can provide an unparalleled supply chain loop.”

Asked about the situation surrounding the disconnecting of SCR emissions systems, both men were adamant something has to be done about it.

“Obviously people are going to say we have a barrow to push on this but it’s about what’s right. It comes back to the

Decontaminating confusion AdBlue® is not a generic name used to describe diesel emission fluid, and therefore certainly cannot be used as such. AdBlue® is the registered trademark for diesel emission fluid that has been certified by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), an interest group of the German automobile industry comprising manufacturers and component suppliers. Their rigorous supply chain auditing regime covers the manufacture and distribution of diesel emission fluid. Only suppliers passing certification may use the AdBlue® brand name.

“It’s an extremely rigorous exercise,” said Andrew. “They go through every inch of your supply chain ensuring that the product is perfectly pure and not contaminated during handling. From a chemistry viewpoint DEF is not hard to make, but it’s not easy to make and distribute to

the standards required. If you’re dealing with a warranty claim on your truck you certainly don’t want to be caught having used DEF made with tap water and agricultural grade urea by some shonky backyard outfit trying to make a quick buck.

“Not a single drop of any batch is passed for distribution until its purity clearance is back and confirmed, a process that takes eight days. This can make production planning challenging,” said Andrew.

“All of our sites in Australia have passed audit 100% for the past nine years, and our New Zealand manufacturing operation will be the same. The first full production batch of AdBlue® made in NZ has recently passed the approval process”.

environment and what the whole thing is trying to do. What’s the point of belonging to emissions reduction agreements if you’re not going to come down on this type of thing. It’s easy to analyse at service time, even at the roadside,” said Andrew.

So New Zealand has another supplier in the DEF market, one with a strong sense of purpose in what they believe is their core point of difference. That has to be good for the country, not just the industry. 

The AUSblue story started in 2009 with Pat Maguire racing across Brisbane to try and find some of this weird fluid that his new Volvo needed. After finally securing an IBC full, he loaded it on his ute and took off back across town to his truck, only to have his trusty old pick-up ‘retire’ on the side of the freeway. Not knowing what to do he rang his good mate Andrew (Morrell) for a tow. Andrew worked in the transport component sales industry. Pat relayed the day’s events and Andrew, although aware of its existence, hadn’t encountered the strange new compound himself to any great degree.

“We need to do something. There’s an opportunity here!”

Premium proposition An interview with Ian Taylor, national manager commercial motor, NZI

News that motor vehicle insurance premiums are set to rise has everyone scrabbling to minimise the cost of insuring their vehicles.

NZI

national manager commercial motor Ian Taylor says over the past two years the industry has experienced a considerable increase in motor vehicle claims costs, and premiums no longer reflected the risks insured.

“The price our customers pay for their insurance needs to accurately reflect the cost to provide them with cover,” he says.

Taylor says rather than a blanket increase across the board, the increases in commercial motor insurance would target different segments of the market according to the claims they made. He says fleet premiums would reflect the individual company’s claim results, something that was particularly true for the larger fleets.

Some of the key factors affecting costs are more vehicles on the roads – and more newer vehicles too – increasing complexity and technology in those vehicles and higher costs to repair, an increasing complexity in paint colours and

NZI can help “We provide a fleet risk management service where our consultants can analyse a company’s performance and make recommendations as to how they can reduce their risk. NZI’s Fleet Risk Management Programme supports customers with driver performance, efficiency, and crash management to help customers perform better and be safer on and off the road.”

Taylor says one of the innovative programmes they offer uses the Guardian System’s lifesaving technology to prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue and distraction, and qualifying NZI or Lumley customers could take advantage of a free trial to see how Guardian works for them.

The Guardian System is fitted into the cab of the truck and has a camera that operates in real-time, 24/7.

It monitors facial and eye movement to determine whether a driver is distracted or falling asleep at the wheel. If this occurs, a wake-up call is activated with a seat vibration and alarm that simultaneously notifies a dedicated call centre. The transport company is then notified that their driver has had an incident, so they can take appropriate action.

effects, increased labour costs and a shortage of skills, and an increasing requirement for vehicles to return to authorised dealers for fault code resetting.

“Technology in vehicles continues to advance at a rapid rate, with electronics currently accounting for a quarter of a vehicle’s value,” says Taylor. “This is estimated to soon reach 40%.”

Taylor says anecdotally NZI had also experienced increased claims costs as a result of the shortage of drivers available to transport customers, which could mean operators had been forced to lower their recruiting standards in order to keep vehicles moving.

Although nothing can be done to stop insurance costs rising, Taylor says commercial fleet operators could reduce their premiums over time by sustainably reducing the frequency and/ or severity of their claims.

“This may be achieved by better monitoring and training of drivers, managing fatigue issues, and improving the risk awareness and safety culture of an organisation.”

Taylor says research and data showed that fatigue is one of the leading factors in road accidents in New Zealand today.

“In 2015 fatigue was a factor in 43 fatal crashes, 119 serious injury crashes, and 45 minor injury crashes, at a total social cost of $363 million. According to the Ministry of Transport Report on Diverted Attention 2016, for every 100 drivers who died in road crashes involving fatigue, 21 passengers and 28 other road users died with them.” 

A BUSINESS CASE STUDY

HCB Technologies –working with Fonterra When Fonterra were having battery problems on their trucks, they needed to overcome three main issues: •

Battery life – the average battery life was only three to six months.

•

Maintenance costs – downtime, including breakdowns due to battery problems, was expensive.

•

Health and safety – correct battery handling and preventative care to reduce any potential health and safety concerns.

W

ith a fleet of more than 500 trucks the short battery life resulted in unnecessary delays due to breakdowns and downtime which were inefficient and costly for the company.

Battery supplier HCB worked with Fonterra to not only supply new batteries but also to find solutions to these issues.

Ultimately the goals were to get two years of life out of truck batteries, reduce maintenance costs due to battery failures and to minimise health and safety risks.

Field tests were conducted on the batteries to get a thorough understanding on what was happening and why. At the

92

New Zealand Trucking

September 2017

conclusion of the tests, which included monitoring open circuit voltage, current draw and vibration tests, a report was written and recommendations were made to Fonterra.

Based on these findings, a solution was identified and an initial trial set up over 18 months. During the trial HCB carried out onsite training with Fonterra staff with regards to safe testing, correct battery handling, preventative care and general battery maintenance. The success in the trial timeframe was a significant 99.6% increase in battery life. Battery safety related incidents also decreased and HCB was the recipient of the ‘Best Safety Initiative Which Enhances Health and Safety Performance at Fonterra’.

In late 2015 HCB were appointed agents in New Zealand for the German battery manufacturer VARTA. Over the last century, VARTA has been at the forefront of developing world class battery technology and innovation. As a result, they have earned the trust of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket customers around the world.

HCB and VARTA representatives identified the unique VARTA Promotive EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology could further enhance the Fonterra fleet. The German-made batteries are specifically designed for highperformance commercial vehicles with heavy cycling use.

Compared with a conventional battery the EFB has a 40% longer life. This reduces the risk of downtimes substantially and thereby the service costs of the truck.

HCB continues to work closely with Fonterra and leading battery manufacturers to extend the life of their batteries, and fully expects further gains in battery life and greater reductions in costs will be achieved. 

TRUCKERS’ HEALTH

Choosing the low-hanging fruit first

H

ow often have you found some motivation to lose weight, increase fitness, eat better and live a healthier lifestyle overall, followed by two awesome weeks of positive change, to then bomb at the first slip up, reverting straight back to your comfortable habits?

The problem is we often take an ‘all or nothing’ approach to making healthier lifestyle choices, which is super hard to maintain long term.

If you want changes to last a lifetime, then start small and make some simple adjustments each day that will add up over time and initially you won’t even notice. Over the next month try implementing some of these nutrition suggestions below:

Innovative Accessory Solutions

Crown Canopies | Tuf Dek Liners | Hard Lids | Bars and Protection Winches | Snorkels | Roof Racks | Flares and General Accessories

• Try having a wholefoods breakfast – omelettes packed with vegetables, and smoothies with hidden broccoli are awesome.

• Switch up your pasta meal with a vegetable substitute like cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash.

• Change any fizzy drinks to water; this will drastically drop your overall calorie consumption.

• Make enough dinner to have a portion for lunch the next day.

• Make at least three days a week alcohol-free.

A good strategy is to first choose something you know you can do easily and succeed at, like making the extra dinner and so improving the quality of your lunches. As the old saying goes ‘The low-hanging fruit is the easiest to pick’, and doing so will build a sense of accomplishment that will empower you for the more significant lifestyle changes.  Next month I will include some strategies for adding exercise to your week.

For work and play 100% New Zealand owned, we’ve designed and manufactured Crown fibreglass canopies and Tuf Dek liners for both the New Zealand and export markets for over 30 years. We also offer a broad range of light commercial vehicle accessories, sourced from world leading brands to have your vehicle fully equipped.

LEGAL LINES

Enforceable undertakings

under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015

A

n alternative to prosecution has been introduced by sections 123 to 129 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (‘the HSWA’) in the form of enforceable undertakings. This is a unique change because the framework allows an applicant to agree to do certain things in exchange for the regulator not filing charges. The legislation is very detailed and prescribes the circumstances in which the regulator may accept an undertaking; the publication of undertakings that are accepted; what the legal implications of giving an undertaking are, and the procedure for withdrawing, varying and enforcing an undertaking. There is even a provision for the court to order an enforceable undertaking at any point in a proceeding of its own volition, which can be found in section 156 of the HSWA.

How to negotiate enforceable undertakings

WorkSafe’s policy sets out that the first step in the process of negotiating an enforceable undertaking is for a party to register its interest in obtaining one. The best time to do so is towards the end or at the conclusion of an inspector’s investigation. It is common for inspectors to indicate that they have reached a preliminary view that contravening conduct has occurred and invite any final comments before the file is reviewed by a prosecutor. This is the ideal time to register interest, which can be done informally such as via email. If you choose not to express an interest in an enforceable undertaking, then a regulator can proceed to file charges and the opportunity has been lost.

Once an expression of interest has been received, WorkSafe will provide a copy of its template for a proposed undertaking, which is also available online. The template will ask for information including an acknowledgment of the events that occurred and the steps that have been taken to rectify it. In particular, the applicant will be asked to detail the amount of money which is to be spent on remedial activities and to agree to pay WorkSafe’s costs.

Reckless conduct, fatality or very serious harm incidents

WorkSafe cannot accept an enforceable undertaking if it believes that the alleged contravention would amount to an offence involving reckless conduct, which is defined in section 47 of the HSWA. Even if WorkSafe considers that there is evidential sufficiency to support a reckless conduct charge, but for public interest or policy reasons anticipates laying a lesser charge, then it would still be unlikely to consider an enforceable undertaking in those circumstances.

Although reckless conduct is specifically excluded, the HSWA does not prescribe any other situations in which an enforceable undertaking could not be considered. However, WorkSafe’s Policy states that it “will not normally accept an enforceable undertaking where a fatality has been caused through or by means of the alleged contravention”. So while it’s not explicitly stated, WorkSafe is also unlikely to accept an enforceable undertaking in incidents involving very serious harm as this could also be considered to be contrary to the public interest.  Next month, I would like to share with you an example of an enforceable undertaking regime in action as well as some other tips and advice should you find yourself in a situation where you need to consider an alternative to a prosecution under the HSWA.

Please note that this article is not a substitute for legal advice and if you have a particular matter which needs to be addressed, you should consult with a lawyer. Danielle Beston is a barrister who specialises in transport law and she can be contacted on (09) 379 7658 or 021 326 642.

Bad behaviour in the workplace

B

ad behaviour by an employee can have a destructive influence on your workplace. We all know the type of person: unexplained absences from work, arriving late, leaving early, using up every bit of sick leave, disruptive, deceitful and dishonest, inappropriate language, failure to follow clear instructions, and always running on a fine line of acceptable behaviour.

A badly behaved employee has a negative influence on your other employees, who are most likely having to carry the extra workload, and are getting fed up as a result. This can cause your good employees to become disgruntled, with many choosing to move on.

As an employer you need to deal with the situation, no matter how unpleasant it may be. If you don’t address the issues, it sends the message to the whole business that bad behaviour is acceptable. The success of your business depends on you taking action to resolve the situation.

Identifying the type of behaviour is the first step. Is the behaviour minor misconduct or is it serious misconduct?

Minor misconduct would include behaviour such as inappropriate language, lateness, and minor breaches of their employment agreement such as inappropriate clothing, minor instances of failing to follow an employer’s instructions, and internet or mobile phone misuse.

Serious misconduct would include behaviour such as violence, bullying, sexual harassment, dishonesty, theft or fraud, illegal use of drugs at work, and behaviour that endangers the health and safety of themselves or others. Serious misconduct can have the effect of destroying or undermining the relationship of trust and confidence between an employee and employer. Without this an employment relationship cannot continue.

An employer’s response to misconduct/bad behaviour must be fair and reasonable in all circumstances. Minor misconduct may lead to a written warning; serious misconduct may lead to a dismissal.

A fair investigation and disciplinary process must be carried out for each instance of misconduct, even if it is repeat behaviour. A disciplinary investigation is not a criminal trial, where the employer needs to prove ‘beyond all reasonable doubt’. The employer needs to be convinced that misconduct

has occurred, and have reasonable grounds to support that. The more serious the misconduct (e.g. theft or physical assault), the more serious the possible consequences for the employee are.

The employer needs to have strong supporting documentation and evidence to support the process.

In particularly serious misconduct instances, an employer may well be entitled to suspend an employee during the disciplinary process if there is good reason. Seeking professional advice before going down this path is usually advisable. At all times the employer must follow a fair and reasonable process, and give the employee the opportunity to comment before they are suspended.

In instances where the misconduct is not serious, or the employer decides not to dismiss, the employer may decide to give the employee a written warning.

This must include clear information on what the misconduct is, and the likely consequences of further misconduct. If the employee has had previous warnings, the employer may decide to issue a further or final warning, or may even decide to dismiss the employee.

If the employer makes the decision to dismiss an employee, and there is no serious misconduct, the employee should be given notice in accordance with their employment agreement. If the employee is to be dismissed for serious misconduct, the employer does not have to give notice but can choose to if they wish.

Both the employee and employer are required to cooperate with each other through the process in an open, honest and respectful way. The employee has the right to have a representative present to speak on their behalf.

If you find yourself in the position of having to end an employment relationship, regardless of the reason, it is highly recommended that you seek professional advice to ensure you follow the correct process. Getting it wrong can be an expensive exercise. 

Serious misconduct can have the effect of destroying or undermining the relationship of trust and confidence between an employee and employer. Without this an employment relationship cannot continue.

NATIONAL ROAD CARRIERS

Track conditions!

W

e here at National Road Carriers make every endeavour to ensure members are kept up to date with information that may affect the operation of their business. Key subject areas include legislative, employment, technical, new product, operating cost fluctuations, safety, and road conditions.

It is the last of these two that I want to focus on here.

Every day our drivers deal with any number of hazards on the various highways, urban streets and alleyways that make up the New Zealand road network. A network that requires regular maintenance and which is subject to both expected and unexpected events affecting its users.

As mentioned earlier we do our best to keep our membership informed of events that may have a significant impact on route planning and travel times. We do recognise that although we are sending the information out, it does not always mean it is getting to those who need it, or there may be localised or unexpected events we simply do not have information on.

We are also careful that members do not face information overload, avoiding minor localised events. The same can apply to ongoing works such as the Auckland southern motorway improvements where we will send out initial information with a link giving the operator a source of regular updates should they choose.

In the main we can share the information we do thanks to the various road controlling authorities (local and national) and their contractors. Much of this information is available direct to the road user from the same sources, especially the NZ Transport Agency via www.nzta.govt.nz/traffic-and-travelinformation/. We do, however, also appreciate getting relevant information from the road transport industry itself.

So how do we cover the gaps? Firstly, if you have information and you think it may benefit someone else, pass it on. It is better to be told twice than to not be given information you need.

Local or minor events are often shared by word of mouth and this is often enough, but what about the unexpected that has or can have the potential to cause major disruption? This is where we are particularly keen to get feedback we can share from those on the road. Accidents, slips, and weather events can all cause unexpected disruption and it is good to be able to

get the message out as soon as possible.

This has a twofold affect. Not only can it prevent others from being delayed or endangered, but it also assists those trying to resolve the issue and return the situation to normal as quickly as possible. We are continually working with the various road controlling authorities to improve communication.

Some recent initiatives are: On Road FM, a dedicated road update radio station broadcasting on 102.2 FM. Currently a trial in South Auckland, and hopefully by the time you read this, a permanent addition.

Having variable messageboard signage at a point where trucks can choose a viable detour to avoid closures. NZTA and some of the local road controlling authorities have taken this a step further and have or are currently working on having a network of available detours that are HPMV compliant.

Accidents, slips, and weather events can all cause unexpected disruption and it is good to be able to get the message out as soon as possible.

EVERYONE knows that delays on the road network can be hugely disruptive and accept that maintenance, upgrades and unfortunately accidents are part of our work environment. We can, however, all play a part in keeping these disruptions to a minimum.

Firstly, look inward and don’t let it be your accident that is the cause the delay. If you do encounter what you could reasonably assume to be a significant unexpected delay, communicate it to others who may be adversely affected by whatever means available.

Finally, a thought from a member: “Could we, through the road transport industry, devise a means of alerting other road users to immediate dangers on the road. While we are aware there is currently communication between various drivers, not all have access to this.

Communicating hazards through *555 also works well and should be used when possible dangers to others such as reckless driving or wandering stock are observed. But what about an immediate warning to others about to encounter the hazard?

Should we, for example, have our trucks equipped with green flashing lights to warn other motorists they are about to encounter a significant hazard in the next two kilometres? Just a thought!”

Remember though, if it’s an emergency, the first number you call is 111. 

ROAD TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

Are we speeding up to the future?

A

t last year’s Road Transport Forum conference we had a presentation from Wrightspeed founder and CEO, Ian Wright, on the future of electric vehicles.

At the time, his summation in regard to electric trucks was the technology wasn’t there for most truck-based transport applications as we know them today, unless the task was predominantly stop–start. Since then that view has changed; similarly the audience’s view will need to change also.

Recently there have been a number of rapid changes. A good example is battery technology – previously a significantly limiting factor in the electrification of heavy vehicles, improvements have resolved many of the issues confronting long haul vehicles.

The changing pace of technology is gathering huge momentum.

Along with this is the situation we now find in New Zealand where – without too much development – a GPS system could be set up quite quickly throughout the road network to support driverless vehicles … electric driverless vehicles.

Some commentators are predicting the petrol internal combustion engine will stop being produced by the main car manufactures after 2025. It is interesting to see companies like Honda and Volvo in discussions and collaborating with companies developing electric and self-drive electric vehicles.

Volvo recently announced that every vehicle it sells from 2019 would be either a hybrid or fully electric vehicle, becoming

IMMORTALISE YOUR TRUCK ON CANVAS

the first leading carmaker to set a date for phasing out petrol combustion engines. They also indicated they are about to forge closer ties with a Chinese carmaker to develop an electric car which should be available to market in 2020.

This will have a major impact throughout the transport sector, and while clearly not implicated in the timeframe given, the flow-on effect will undoubtedly affect heavy vehicle evolution shortly after.

It is interesting how associated industries are positioning themselves for impending change. BP is reportedly in talks with parties to sell off its assets in the North Sea. While they said they were still committed to the UK North Sea, it is clear gas and oil are on the market. Perhaps they’re viewing electricity as the new fuel source to future-proof their business?

Conversely, the market for copper is on the move. Copper is a key component in facilitating an electric vehicle world and as such investors are showing an ever-increasing level of interest in its value.

All the signs are there that the future will be here sooner than we think. 

ROAD TRANSPORT FORUM

Emissions tampering must be stamped out

T

he tampering of emissions controls on heavy vehicles is in some circles an accepted practice here in New Zealand. It is not, however, a practice that the Road Transport Forum either encourages or condones. In fact, I want to see it stamped out altogether.

Operators who do tamper with emission control devices risk the credibility of the whole sector. The purpose of the emissions rules is largely due to public health concerns regarding harmful particulates and NOx, so it is not something we should treat casually.

Diesel technology, while having improved considerably over the past 10 to 20 years, is still considered a relatively ‘dirty’ fuel and there has been plenty of negative publicity about this in recent times. The last thing our industry needs to do is to stoke the anti-diesel fire by being accused of cheating emissions rules and putting people’s health at risk.

While some may claim that in New Zealand there is little chance of emissions tampering being detected, it is that kind of attitude that will one day force officials to institute some form of formal testing. With that, of course, comes compliance hassle and costs, which would be something that falls on all heavy vehicle owners, not just those currently tampering with the control devices.

RTF has recently been advised that the European Commission is beginning to take an even harder line on tampering with emissions systems at both the manufacturer and owner level.

The Commission has stated in the European Parliament that it is investigating the possible tampering of emissions systems in heavy vehicles as a result of a recent NOx scandal involving trucks. The Commission stated that if it is deemed necessary, it would take additional steps to expose and crack down on emissions manipulations. It also strongly urges European member states to prohibit the sale and installation of emissions control defeat devices.

There has already been some preparatory work done by New Zealand officials in this area. Last year defeat devices came to the attention of government, which had developed a view that some vendors were providing access to these devices and recalibrating ECUs. RTF suspects that it is probably only a matter of time until officials look to update the Emissions Rule to take into account the possibility of these devices being in the marketplace. That update could include formal testing and extra compliance.

The emissions issue further highlights why industry compliance is so important generally. Whether it be dimensions and mass, the accuracy of logbooks or the integrity of heavy vehicles licences, our industry must aspire to the highest standards when it comes to complying with the rules.

Yes, in some areas it can be argued that rules are unfair, however when it comes to operating commercial vehicles for profit on public roads, it is crucial that we do all we can to

106

comply. It is very difficult to win the public relations battle and engender acceptance of our place in the community if operators are perceived to be breaking the law and cutting corners, especially when it comes to safety and public health.

“Operators who do tamper with emission control devices risk the credibility of the whole sector.”

I’D ALSO LIKE TO remind you that the 2017 Road Transport Forum Annual Conference is fast approaching. To be held on 10 and 11 November at Claudelands Arena, Hamilton, the conference will explore the importance of resilience and adaptability in our industry. It is an opportunity to review and debate the impact of adverse natural events and economic challenges as we look to the future. How can we adapt to protect ourselves from future earthquakes, cyclones and flooding, and what will be our priorities as we strive to meet New Zealand’s growing freight task with a shortage of drivers and growing environmental responsibilities?

Economist Bernard Hickey, Z Energy CEO Mike Bennetts, and Abbie Reynolds of the Sustainable Business Council will provide delegates with thought-provoking views on the road ahead for our industry and the broader economy. Once again, the Government’s policy, regulation and compliance arms will present delegates with the opportunity to examine their role in our industry, while we will also hear from those at the front line of the battle to recruit and retrain heavy vehicle drivers.

The conference will also be a social occasion with a networking BBQ, the prestigious Road Transport Industry Awards dinner, and a chance to watch the country’s best drivers in action at the NZ Truck Driving Championship Final.

Further conference information, registration and accommodation options are available at www.rtf.conference. co.nz.

FINALLY, remember 23 September is Election Day. Make sure you consider the potential impact to our industry of each party’s transport policy before you cast your vote. I recommend visiting the individual party websites to find out more. 

1914 WILLYS UTILITY 65 MAKER: WILLYS-OVERLAND MOTOR COMPANY Willys-Overland Motor Company was an American company which began in approximately 1907. It began when John North Willys bought the struggling Overland manufacturing company to save it from receivership and rebranded it Willys-Overland. It was successful. Sales in 1914 reached 80,000, a huge number for the time. It went through several highs and lows over the years until it finally closed its last factory in Brazil in 1962.

The Willys Utility was manufactured by the Gramm Motor Truck Company, which Willys-Overland acquired in 1912.

It was marketed in 1913 and 1914 as the Model 65 Willys Utility.

This particular truck was restored over a long period of time by Bill Richardson’s friend Alan Storer.

Alan left it to Bill when he died in 2003.

MEMBER PROFILE of the month McCurdy Engineering Ltd NZTTMF member since: 1986 McCurdy Engineering Limited is a well-respected and long established trailer builder and general engineer in New Plymouth.

Like many of the NZTTMF members profiled on this website, McCurdy’s is very much a family company – started in 1961

by Jim and Barbara McCurdy and joined later by their son Wayne and his son Paul.

The family maintains a personal stake in maintaining quality control across McCurdy’s diverse range of products and services; something it shares with all 30 of its current staff.

The company’s motto is ‘real truck service from real truck people’.

However, not only for trucks: the same attention to quality control applies to its fast-growing trailer build and repair business.

While it will turn its hand to almost anything, McCurdy’s trailer building division is particularly strong on tippers and bins.

Its Hardox© Tippers are among the toughest and lightest on the market – only one weld from coaming board to bottom skirt, from headboard to tailgate, for increased strength and reduced tare.

WHO:

McCurdy Engineering Limited.

WHERE:

New Plymouth and throughout Taranaki.

WHAT:

Comprehensive range of transport and general engineering services.

24-hour breakdown service.

WEBSITE:

http://www.mccurdyeng.co.nz

PHONE:

WHO TO ASK FOR:

Paul McCurdy.

WHAT TO ASK FOR:

Your requirement for just about anything involving truck and trailers.

Repair capabilities include chassis straightening and repair, wheel alignment, and a dedicated truck and trailer servicing workshop.

The company is also Taranaki service and support provider for Transport and General Engineering (Transport Trailers).

A key feature and benefit of using McCurdy Engineering is its substantial parts department – enough parts to accommodate all makes and models of trailers and trucks. In addition, it backs that up, for Taranaki transport operators, with a 24/7 on-road breakdown service.

McCurdy Engineering plays an active role in many transport industry bodies – including NZTTMF – and with true community involvement is a major contributor to Taranaki charity and service organisations. 

THE LAST MILE

Why so many

organisations?

B

eing a member of any organisation brings with it a number of responsibilities, including paying a membership fee if required. In return we expect the organisation to provide a number of services, and it is our choice if we use these. We also expect the organisation to be prudent with the way it spends the members’ money and manages its expenses. This raises an interesting question: why does the road transport industry need three different membership organisations throughout the country, which in turn support a fourth, national body based in Wellington? Each of these four organisations has a governing board, a chief executive officer and supporting administration staff, all of which incur costs which have to be met from the income it receives, generally membership

fees and sponsorship money. These organisations would argue that they provide a range of unique services to their members, but is this really the case? Why is this quadrupling of people and expense needed and can it be justified? Is it because of sentimental attachments to the past that have long had their day and which nobody is brave enough to challenge, or has the guts to dismantle?

Nobody would argue that having an organisation that represents the interests of its members does not have value; as one of the highest employment sector groups in New Zealand, we need this. Isn’t it crazy though, to have separate organisations seeking, and even poaching, potential members from the same sector interest groups – in the same areas – as happens now?

Membership of any organisation opens the doors and can benefit your business, such as fuel discounts for instance, but often these are available to all regardless of whether you are a member of any particular organisation. The national interest of our industry means that it is good to have the ability to talk to central government on issues that have a national interest. However, the reality of the world we live in is that any benefits that come from these talks applies to everybody, whether you are a member of an industry organisation or not.

Imagine for a moment if the work time exemption that applies to ferry crossings only applied to drivers of trucks operated by a member of one of the three industry organisations; it just would not happen.

Isn’t it time then for the industry to look into its future and streamline its representing organisations and their cost structures? Many will argue that if something is not broken then there is nothing to fix so leave it alone; some people base their vehicle maintenance on this philosophy as well, but when something is broken the cost of fixing it is often a lot greater than if repairs had been done earlier. The reality is that the industry’s membership organisational structure is broken; it has been for a few years and needs a major overhaul. It’s time to throw away what may have served the industry fine last century – or should we go back to using OLB Bedfords and vacuum brakes from the same era when our membership organisation structure was dreamt up?
