EDITORIAL

The enchanted plastic forest

H

aving spent a chunk of the past month in the Australian outback, it’s always interesting get a feel for another country’s approach to things on the street. Australia’s our oldest mate, and we pretty much slot straight in once we arrive. My travelling mate and I stayed at a friend’s place one night and we had corned beef, veges, and spuds, followed by ice cream, and pikelets with jam later on. It’s big Zealand in many ways, but in many other ways it so isn’t.

Over the next few years as things ‘heat’ up on a number of key fronts, I think New Zealand runs a grave risk of falling victim to a twist on an old Lord Acton gem: ‘Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely’. In our case ‘Arrogance tends to puff-up, absolutely arrogance puffs-up absolutely’. Anyone who’s read my editorials before will know I have a slight discomfort with the perceived place we credit ourselves as having on the world stage. Yes, we’ve done some great things: votes for women, welfare, climbed a hill, split an atom, made it to the security council at the UN, and Helen almost got the big job…although maybe there was an element of ‘Perhaps these shoes are more your size New Zealand?’ in that instance.

We trumpet our glorious ousting of offshore drilling, and anything that implicates digging for something, or cutting something down, is spurned as criminal, befitting capital punishment had it still been in vogue. We guffaw at the state of other country’s environments, imploring them to visit us and see beauty as it should be. “Even you Chinese folk, buried under the plastic we didn’t want, come see our beautiful corner of the world.” Thankfully that ball’s been hit straight back at us recently and… “OMG, what are we supposed to do with this crap?”

Like all teenagers we want the good things too. Although the concept of global free trade is looking a little interesting currently, over time we’ve positioned ourselves cleverly, enjoying a lifestyle that’s arguably at odds with the sum of variables we had/have to play with. Position, youth, population, and resources considered, we’ve done well, but I think what we forget is that although we’re influenced by the game, we don’t influence the game much at all. If the rest of the world ignored us because we just became too difficult to deal with, it would affect them probably stuff-all. Daimler, Volvo, PACCAR, Apple, Panasonic, et al. would all have half a morning a year that left them wondering what to build.

I find much of the rest of the world, including Australia, more honest at grassroots level. They know there’s a whole lot that’s wrong and there’s precious little time to fix it, but

if you want iPhones, Samsung Galaxies, stuff made of metal and other crap, then you’ll still need a mine, and someone to dig. If you’re going to need gas in the interim, then you’ll need gas and if you haven’t got the new game insight, you’d better keep looking for gas. Likewise, defence. Our days of seeing a Skyhawk racing the Wing Commander to golf are gone. I doubt other countries like them [war planes, tanks, battleships etc] much more than us, and pray they’re never used in anger, but it’s not a perfect world and you need to contribute to maintaining what your predecessors died for. You may not swing a big bat, but at least show you’re on the team. In the event someone wanted our patch via the gun barrel as opposed to financial manipulation, we’d scream… and loud!

And the culture seems to filter down the chain. I would imagine the ‘young upwards’ out on the eastern coast and in Perth are probably different, by my goodness there appeared to be a stark realisation in the outback regarding the value of the truck and what it contributes to, in their case, survival. They actually know trucks carry the staples of life to the masses. They know that the nappies and stewed apple on the shelves you’re buying for bubs or great-nana got there by road train. Yes they might like some better way of doing it but that doesn’t exist currently and the poor bugger/buggeress behind the wheel is providing a lifesaving service. They seem to know that. They appreciate it.

We’re that far removed from the mechanics of society that half the population under 35 doesn’t know what trucks even do. It’s all food for thought I guess, but roosters that crow constantly get their heads removed. It’s a blessed position to shut up key primary industries and claim the vaunted status of the world’s most desirable holiday destination while plundering the fruits and trinkets of others, but God help us if one day they just tell us to just bog-off.

“And now over here we have the enchanted plastic forest…”

Fuso NZ launch market leading parts warranty

F

uso NZ has added further peace of mind to its Genuine Parts programme with a new 24-month warranty, making it one of the most comprehensive in New Zealand.

FUSO Genuine Parts fitted by an authorised dealer now hold a 24-month guarantee with no limit on kms.

Fuso NZ warrants to the retail purchaser that genuine FUSO parts sold or installed by an authorised FUSO dealer shall be free, under normal maintenance, from defects in material and workmanship.

The investment is the latest step taken by Fuso NZ to ensure

its parts and service customers receive the best possible service, following a 45% improvement in order fill rate at its Auckland warehouse since Q1 2017.

“Our goal is to be number one in our customers’ eyes, so we continue to increase the range of products we hold in stock,” said Fuso NZ national parts manager Allan McFarland.

Poor roads must be sorted

Q

uality issues on our new motorways were increasing, and Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley said the NZ Transport Authority must get on top of the

problem.

“Evidence that the new Waikato Expressway is developing ruts and breaking up comes hard on the heels of similar build quality issues with the new Kapiti highway and proves that there is an endemic problem with the way NZTA manages their roading projects,” said Shirley.

“These projects cost motorists and commercial road transport operators hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars, paid for through fuel excise and road user charges.

The very least New Zealanders should expect is that the projects are undertaken to a reasonable minimum standard.”

Shirley said while New Zealand does have some extreme weather events, surfaces shouldn’t start deteriorating after a few months because water has been allowed to seep into the seal.

“The Agency needs to start focusing on its core role of properly building, maintaining and managing our state highway network. It’s all very nice to be doing things like running seminars for Wellington bureaucrats on what the world will look like in 2050, but New Zealanders expect NZTA to do the basics properly first.”

Ports of Auckland joins coalition

P

orts of Auckland chief executive Tony Gibson has joined with the leaders of 60 Kiwi business to fight climate change.

“Climate change is the issue of our time, and how we meet this challenge will define us. We can’t expect ‘The Government’ to solve the problem alone, we all have to roll our sleeves up, get stuck in and fix this,” said Gibson.

The Climate Leaders Coalition is a collective of business leaders who have each committed to act on climate change and have signed the CEO Climate Change Statement.

The statement commits businesses to measure their greenhouse gas emissions and work to reduce them.

Ports of Auckland has set a goal to be a zero emissions port

by 2040. Gibson said they have measured their emissions and become the first port in New Zealand to be CEMARS (Certified Emissions Measurement and Reduction Scheme) certified.

“We have a plan to manage our emissions and have recently committed to set science-based emissions reductions targets through the Science Based Targets initiative.”

uso New Zealand has appointed Kathy Schluter as general Kathy Schluter, manager of sales. general Schluter joins the company manager Fuso from telematics specialist EROAD, New Zealand. having played a large part in its success as channel sales manager. In that role she worked closely with the teams at both Fuso NZ and Keith Andrews Trucks.

“We’re delighted to have Kathy on board,” said Fuso NZ managing director Kurtis Andrews. “She brings a different perspective to our business, which will challenge how we currently do things and ultimately improve or refine our customer experiences and how we go to market.”

“It’s my view that people are what makes up our industry and my passion lies in helping them achieve their business goals efficiently and safely,” said Schluter.

Navigation standard on 300 Series

n light of New Zealand’s endlessly changing roads and restrictions, Hino is now including the latest Navigation for Trucks GPS system as a standard feature across their range of lighter duty 300 Series trucks.

The system alerts the driver to height and weight restrictions around bridges and roads in their area.

Navigation for Trucks also uses pre-entered vehicle profile information to warn the driver if they are out of compliance on certain routes. There are also notifications about speed limits, safety cameras, and driving regulations for the freight being hauled.

“With its standard reversing camera the 300 Series’ safety package was already one of the best available – this is us raising the bar even higher,” said Hino general manager Darren Salt.

Last year updates were made to 109,812 kilometres of road network, 50,832 street names and 32,200 speed limits within the system. Hino offers a free GPS update every three months.

A limited edition book to take pride of place

A

message from Ed Mansell, Grant Gadsby, and Paul Livsey Come with us and take a step back in time, to not so long ago, when Mack trucks ruled our highways. From the stock carriers of the South Island to the off-highway loggers of Kaingaroa, Mack trucks were seen hauling the biggest loads in every corner of our country.

Soon these mighty machines will be celebrating 50 years of service to Kiwis. Using our own collections as well as sourcing material from other top truck photographers, we are compiling the finest photographs of the first one thousand Mack trucks assembled at Motor Truck Distributors in Palmerston North for a one-off limited run book to commemorate the occasion, Follow the ‘lives’ of these machines from brand new through subsequent owners to where their story ended, if it’s ended at all. Although some have met their demise, some have been lovingly restored while others continue to earn their keep.

The book will be coffee table styled, hard covered, in full colour, approximately 500 pages in length. We intend to limit

the number to one thousand copies, allowing any Mack owners the possibility of purchasing their truck’s equivalent book number. To date 500 have been spoken for.

Due for release in 2022 to coincide with the 50th anniversary we are now asking for expressions of interest from anyone interested in purchasing this complete pictorial chronology of New Zealand’s first thousand Mack trucks.

Once your order is placed you will be guaranteed to receive a copy should you wish to proceed at the time of publication. No payment is expected at this time, but we may require a deposit be paid early in 2022.

A price indication is minimum $135, but this may change due to the final print number, inflation etc. over which we have no control.

Numbers will be limited so get your name on the list for this once in a lifetime book.

There will be no reprint after the initial production run.

To order your copy please email: mansell@orcon.net.nz or grant.gadsby3@xtra.co.nz

Good as Gold in the age of the carrier

By John Foley

From the author’s note: In boyhood years, carriers collected our wood, sheep, and cattle. Sometimes late at night, trucks laden with sacks of wheat from stubble paddocks trundled through the yard. The men drove big lorries and worked hard. Dad said, “We couldn’t farm without them.”

Those cartage firms represented a way of life about to be turned on its head. They had emerged from the shadows of WWII to operate through an era largely untarnished by excessive machinery and land use change. Strong employment, prosperous and versatile production, underpinned confidence and resulted in bustling activity throughout rural districts. In the cartage industry son followed father into a work ethic, strong in loyalty to firm, and mate. Companionship endured and personalities emerged.

Big Rigs roll in cash for teens and children with cancer

T

he biennial Professionals Big Rigs fundraiser in Palmerston North on 8 April attracted 105 trucks this year, including 16 from Booths Transport. The day was a huge success, with a total of $44,638.37 being donated to children and teenagers with cancer.

Organiser Greg Wenman said they had great feedback on the event, with people saying how well organised it was.

“We were pleasantly surprised by that, so we must have done something right.

“Health and safety is a bit part of the event, and lots of work goes into ensuring everyone stays safe. We only do it every two years because it’s such a big event to organise.”

Previously the event had raised money specifically for the Child Cancer Foundation but Greg says now they have formed their own charitable trust, the Manawatu Big Rigs Charitable Trust.

“We are supporting children and teenagers with cancer. We have a mechanism for working out people who need our help, similar to other charitable trusts that have been established.”

Greg says the charity was formed to ensure the money was kept in the greater Manawatu region.

“We don’t have any paid employees, we’ve got absolute minimum costs, so almost everything we raise goes into that charitable trust.”

Greg says the day would not have been able to go ahead without support from Max Vertongen and his team at Professionals, and the Middle Districts Lions Club in Palmerston North.

“Professionals are a major sponsor and got the naming rights a while ago. They really support us and they look after a whole pile of admin stuff, advertising and various bits and pieces like that. The Lions are also big contributors to our event. They run the food stalls and the quick fire raffle. They probably don’t get the recognition they deserve, but they actually do a lot for us, and contribute quite a bit to our cause.”

Trucks from Northchill carried a tribute to Grayson Willye

New Zealand Trucking

September 2018

Paikea Swann, who sadly passed away from cancer on 2 April, a couple of months short of his fourth birthday. The signs brought home exactly why Big Rigs was established. Rest in peace, Grayson.

Robbie Ututaonga says he has been attending the Big Rigs events since they started.

“I just love doing it, seeing the enjoyment on kids’ faces and because it’s for a good cause. They have the show and shines but I just come to this – it’s more meaningful.”

Pete Taylor normally drives for Mainfreight but as his truck runs 24/7, he was called in to drive one of the 16 Booths’ trucks. He got the chance to take 10-year-old Crystal Papesch of Feilding for her first ride in a truck.

Matt Stenson, a Freight Lines driver from Auckland, came down a few days before, specifically for the event.

“I really enjoyed it, it was a stunning day for it and it’s all about the kids really.”

he first RAM 1500 to be remanufactured into right-hand drive on a purpose-built Australian production line was driven straight into a container heading for New Zealand.

Powered as standard with a 5.7-litre V8 and able to tow 3500kg as standard and 4500kg with an option pack. It sells in two specifications, with two tub lengths and two body sizes. Standard kit includes side steps, a heavy-duty tow bar, 20” wheels and a factory-backed threeyear, 100,000km warranty, with prices starting at $94,990 and topping out at $118,990.

Ateco Group NZ CEO David Smitherman says this RAM is aimed at the premium ute buyer seeking better towing capacity from a bigger ute. They certainly get that – it’s 5.8 metres long and two metres wide.

Innovations include a rotary shift drive replacing a column shift, for quick transitions from reverse to drive on packed work sites or other tricky locations.

A Kiwi company has adapted Toyota’s Land Cruiser 70 Series to run on electricity, and it’s now going on trial at BHP’s Olympic Dam copper mine in Australia. The mine currently uses diesel equipment, and hopes electric power will reduce underground air pollution from particulates. The trial will collect data on charging time, maintenance needs, corrosion resistance during underground work, performance and power supply.

Daimler has established an E-Mobility group in the USA to develop electric powered trucks for sale, and opened an Automated Truck Research and Development Centre in Oregon to further develop driverless technology.

The company has invested more than $4 billion in the programmes, with 30 electric trucks to go on road trials this year, and on sale by 2021.

Several brands plan to import plug-in electric-powered vans here soon, but Renault beat them to the punch with the Kangoo. That’s now joined on sale here by LDV’s EV80, a 10.4-cubic-metre cargo van with a 1000kg payload – 400kg less than the diesel – that can be fully charged in two hours, enough to take half the maximum payload for up to 180km, and designed for ‘last mile’ deliveries where a more extended range isn’t required.

Kenworth’s latest model is taking on the responsibility of representing the iconic brand in an operation for the first time.

The expectation on the part of the new owner is high.

W

aiau Pa Bulk Haulage (WPBH) – it’s one of those companies you know, but you don’t know. The trucks are always late model, normally Japanese, but there’s one, maybe two DAFs around also – it’s hard to tell. ‘It’s hard to tell how many trucks there are,’ you think to yourself.

They’re a smart fleet, well presented, and that sets them apart from many in and around the Auckland tip scene for a start. In terms of livery they’re not over the top, you couldn’t say spectacular, but then sometimes attempting to take the reserved path instantly makes your brand identifiable. It’s not hard to spot a WPBH truck on the road – they just always seem to be there…then not there.

As it happens that’s just the way founder and managing director Grant Reid likes it. That’s exactly the plan he and partner Alison Hancock work to when it comes to running their business, and New Zealand Trucking magazine thank both Grant and Alison for letting us bring this test to our pages. It was step outside the comfort zone for them.

To set the record straight there are 14 trucks in the WPBH fleet at the time of writing, and yes, there are two DAF CF85s, not one really busy one. But it’s the arrival of a

pair of Kenworth T610s into the South Auckland-based fleet that’s really created a buzz. That’ll certainly raise your profile for sure.

WPBH is not a trucking company; it’s a bulk earthworks, civil engineering and materials processing company with a fleet of trucks to ensure supply chain continuity (see sidebar).

The Kenworths have arrived for two reasons. Firstly, the era of high productivity trucks has opened up doors right across the trucking spectrum, including regional tip work. Reducing the number of tip trucks in and around Auckland has to be a good thing any way you look at it, and under route specific HPMV permitting the Kenworths will join others in the WPBH and broader Auckland tipping fleet currently operating at around 50 tonne on seven or more axles.

The second reason is fleet continuity in terms of maintenance streamlining and longevity, and for that reason WPBH is settling on PACCAR product as their go-to brands.

“The DAFs have been outstanding trucks. I see them as a 10-year machine and with the Kenworths we’re aiming for 20,” said Grant.

The new members of the WPBH fleet will have no trouble turning heads, especially running like this.

To the core

So, the T610s are certainly going to be around for a while in the WPBH colours. The first is in the hands of Len Allport, and the second with company veteran Toko Whare.

“The Kenworths are about the power and durability for us.

They’ll be pitched at work like the Puhoi Northern extension as the lead out there is quite long, 54km, on a route where both those traits will make a difference,” said Grant.

The 610’s a new Kenworth all right, there’s no mistaking that. The initial impact on entering the cab is space – fore, aft, but most of all between passenger and driver. Impact two … the sweep on the A pillars. Look across the cab at Toko or Len and you’d think they were in a big car. Impact three … lift-off.

One of the hardest things to get right when designing a new member of an old family is retaining the X-factor that makes the brand all that it is. There have been some tragic misses in this department in regard to trucks. After driving Mack Ultra Liners, thinking of the Mack Mid Liner still wakes you up screaming in the night. But top marks to the boys and girls at Bayswater. If you were blindfolded and sat in the cab of the 610, you’d know without even moving – by smell alone – you were in a Kenworth, and the second the clutch pedal was let out, any minute trace of doubt you may have harboured would be gone – the feel, the sound, it’s all there.

‘Our best truck yet’

Such was the marketing slug line at the time of the Australian release in December 2016. Like all trucks, time will tell, but there’s no doubt Kenworth Australia put in many reputationpreserving development hours. The roots of the T610 go back

22

New Zealand Trucking

to 2010 and feasibility studies on a new truck, a collaborative effort between Australian and US engineers. In mid 2012 that project was given the green light. What resulted had a definite kissing cousin connection to the US Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579. The new truck was subjected to three times more testing than any Australasian Kenworth that had gone before it, according to Ross Cureton, Kenworth Australia’s engineering project design manager.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

There’s a family resemblance but the gene pool is far enough removed to avoid the entertainment system only playing banjo music.

“I’ve been at Kenworth 23 years and the T610 shake test has proven it to be the most durable cab we’ve ever tested, and we wouldn’t want it to be any less, given market expectations.”

The 610’s available with all the bang up-to-date safety features. Being a Kenworth it’s a case of build the truck you want. If you want collision avoidance, active cruise, lane departure and all the fruit, it’s there. Obviously, the Cummins X15 and Eaton UltraShift PLUS ADEPT package is part of

that latest and greatest approach. You can have it all, including a bug emblem on the nose.

The aluminium cored radiator affords better cooling than other models in the line-up so it’s happy keeping big bangers cool when the sun’s over the yard arm in February, and it’s good for GCMs up to 140 tonne. It may look more of a club sandwich, but it’s a burger most definitely!

So where does it fit in? Initially the T610 has just been

crowbarred into the line-up. Lessons learned as far back as the T600A days taught the value of persuasion over denial.

Medium-term the T409 will be relegated to the 13-litre engine bracket [read MX], and in time don’t be surprised to see it and the T609 slip off the perch completely. All entirely logical, and given the extra cab space, why wouldn’t you? We can understand gritting your teeth as you walked away from a classic bonnet, but a T609? It’s a no-brainer.

Uptake on the new buggy to date? We spoke to Richard Smart, general sales manager, Southpac Trucks.

“T610 is doing a great job of replacing T409 in the same sector; we have seen tippers, tractors, fuel haul, and logging applications going into service across New Zealand.

“It remains the backbone of KW’s range in New Zealand after the K200 and T659. We expect to see KW launching a

“There are close to 95 either in service or soon to be on the road.”

A man’s errand

Anyone not familiar with Auckland’s hinterland doesn’t appreciate how crap the regional roads are. Just over year after we spent a day with Roger Prictor in Warwick Rhodes’ new Fuso, we’re once again reminded of the hideous network of narrow shoulder-less bitumen, viciously steep and twisting in places, that pretty much surrounds our biggest metropolis. It’s in this world that the Kenworths will spend the bulk of their next million-plus kilometres. There’s no doubt, these trucks will be tested as much as any logger, transporter, or stock unit.

Welcome to the new 20-year club…house

G

rant Reid won’t be the only person buying the T610 with a double-decade outlook; such is the reputation its predecessors have forged. The base cab was a $US400m development spend at PACCAR and the Australian variant came at a further $A20m R&D. It made sense to tap into any synergies between the two continents at the outset of the Australasian project, and there was certainly a lot of interaction between Bayswater and Mt Vernon R&D in Seattle. But in all reality the US’s spazzy dimensions laws and Australia’s spazzy outback will always mean a straight transplant is unlikely.

For those reasons, Australian engineers will go for your throat if you say, “Oh yeah. It’s the T680 cab.” Although assembled in the US the dimensions around the firewall and floor are poles apart, not to mention the robustness of the antipodean stamped, riveted, and glued shed. In short, you absolutely won’t be able to use the T680 cab you’ve bought on eBay to replace the dinged T610.

Now we’ve established that, let’s look at what it does bring home from Seattle. The T610 is an extra 300mm wider at the B pillar than the cab it replaces in the current line-up, and it has 30% more footwell space. As we said, it’s instantly apparent. The positioning and rake on the A pillar contributes so much to the increased fore and aft space also. Len remarked how much more room there was compared with the Fuso he was driving. Remember people, this is a Kenworth day cab…but you can literally see the space it has.

Visibility is superb. The snout rakes away (again, think T600A memory lane) and the huge single-piece screen offers a remarkable vista. The aerodynamic mirrors – with arms you can do chin-ups on evidently – are mounted low and forward, and that, in conjunction with the A pillar design, makes clearing left and right at intersections first rate.

Inside it’s most definitely Kenworth but there’s been a clever step away from ‘bloke’ to ‘sensitive new age guy’.

It’s still a gauge festival (thumbs up from us), although there are now screens for truck metrics in the central binnacle, and space for a communications/navigation/ entertainment interface on the wrap if that’s your gig.

A big knob on the lower left scrolls you through your metrics screen. Operationally the central binnacle houses the gauges you need most, while the wrap has the second glance brigade. There’s a smart wheel with cruise and audio only (we can live with that). Switches are big plastic toggles, mainly lined up in a row along the bottom of the wrap. They’re easy to find and use.

According to the spiel the dash took three years to design. Interesting, considering one major irk, that being the recessed gauges with a horrible little moat around them. It’s easy to look at a Legend and guffaw with disdain at past efforts in cab design, but when you’ve spent 70 hours driving it and you’re there on Saturday morning to clean it, you don’t want to be hooking dust out from around a gauge recess with the corner of a rag

or cotton bud. What was wrong with bezels against a flat dash? Spray, wipe, gone! On the plus side dash-wise, it’s screwed into place, making access in behind a whole lot easier. Now that’s proper Kenworth philosophy.

There’s enough woodgrain and red-buttoned vinyl to satisfy traditionalists and there’s storage above the screen, in the doors, and on the rear of the cab wall, with other incidental cubbies and cup holders around and about. Pretty good for a day cab Kenworth really.

Access-wise it’s a whole new world. The door opens wide enough to get the biggest bopper in with a takehome bucket in hand, no trouble. The steps and grab handles are beautiful. The top step is part of the cab structure and sticks out so that you’re fully supported on your feet and able to just walk into position. There’s no need to swing off the tiller.

Once in, no one should be at a loss to find the perfect driving position. Len’s a tall man and he has no trouble at all. Toko’s a shade under 6’ and he fits just fine also. They both looked comfy as. Kenworth’s all-in-one indicator, wiper, and dip are on the left, and hand control for the trolley on the right. The 610 has an organ throttle and pendulum brake and clutch. It’s a personal thing but our vote’s for an organ brake because your heel’s always grounded (if it’s out and out cool you’re after, then Pete’s three organs is peerless – LOL).

Ride-wise the truck was fine, if not a fraction lively, probably on account of that forward cab location and 50% load factor. The cab is mounted on a front rubber and rear air and shock set-up. It’s a typical sure-footed ‘bonneted’ truck. Putting tongue in cheek you could argue only just though. If that cab was any further forward it might have been the K610. You can rarely fault steering, handling, and overall directional control in a truck of this genre, particularly one with a bug on the front. In our experience – both inside and outside of magazine work – they set the bar.

Last and not least, noise. The T610 is certainly not the least noisy truck of this genre we’ve been in. They’ve retained that aspect of the Kenworth environment most definitely. It absolutely is not as quiet as the Satherley Legend, and most definitely not in the K200 league.

Because we’ve spent so much time in them over the years we think it’s fine, but a few more melt sheets wouldn’t go amiss in 2018. It’s the second most impactful thing after space once you’re aboard one. There was no chance the sound meter was going to see any reading that started with a ‘6’. Mid and high 70s were the go. Toko had this to say which pretty much says it all…

“I could listen to the sound of the Cummins X15 all day long; not too loud but not too quiet as well. I never get tired of listening to it; to me it is an important part of driving something like this, being able to hear what is going on.

“I cannot believe how comfortable it is, it is easily equal in comfort to the DAF CF85 I just came out of.”

Changing landscapes

O

ne of the great things about this work is the inspirational people you encounter along the way. The true battlers who have shown courage, grasped opportunity, and risked it all as they’ve spent a lifetime working their proverbial arses off in order to build something truly worthwhile. They’re often men or women you’d pass in the street without a second glance.

Their brand doesn’t grace the front pages; they’re not a household name. They prefer to remain unseen, and will likely shun any attention on themselves, all the while providing income and therefore security, not just for their own families, but also those of the people in their employ.

True contributors.

Grant Reid and partner Alison Hancock are supreme examples of all the above with their business Waiau Pa Bulk Haulage (WPBH). Even more incredibly the pair have built WPBH from scratch in half a lifetime. There was no baton to pick up, nothing handed on.

The WPBH story starts in 1991 at the Te Papa paper mills in Auckland where Grant’s brother worked. Grant was operating a Mitsubishi Shogun at the time and was in at the mill one day when he noticed the waste contractor taking away half-full pulp waste bins to be dumped. He thought it looked inefficient, and so with new batteries in the calculator and a contact at Perry’s landfill in Hamilton, he crunched some sums and offered Te Papa mill an alternative that would see three full loads leave the mill each day, the product used as landfill capping. A perfect deployment for the mill’s by-product and the impetus he needed for growth.

At that time vast tracts of what would soon be South Auckland was dairy farms, and that’s where the business headed. Tractors, mowers, rakes, and agricultural earthmoving soon supplemented the waste job. But Auckland was on the sprawl. “I remember in one season we lost 21 farms to subdivisions,” said Grant. “It was a case of adapt or disappear.” He chose ‘adapt’.

The last agricultural machine left in 2000, and WPBH morphed into an earthmoving and quarry materials processing company. Early jobs included work at the Matarangi subdivision on the Coromandel, and the Formosa Golf Club. The jobs got bigger and bulkier. Grant, like Bevan Satherley whose Kenworth we featured in June, believes in working with the big companies rather than fighting against them all the time. That saw business continue to grow, working with the likes of HEBs on the Highbrook interchange in 2003 and Fulton Hogan on the Hillsborough interchange shortly after. From there it was on to the Waikato expressway and the Te Rapa bypass.

“That was huge for us. We did half and Hick Brothers did half. There were 35 trucks doing 340 loads a day plus land formation work, the lot.”

Since then, Auckland’s motorway extensions and the various stages of the Waikato expressway have continued to provide huge impetus, and there’s not much that WPBH

28

New Zealand Trucking

September 2018

haven’t been involved in, be it in their own right or as a supplier to a key contractor.

For WPBH, trucks are part of the support network for the core businesses. Grant explains: “The trucks are there to ensure I have continuity of rock processing and supply, for both my jobs and my customers’ jobs. That’s all. We don’t go around chasing truck work, quite the opposite. We are not a company that works for the end user, if you can understand. You won’t find us in the phone book so to speak. We won’t come and dig your drain, or level your three-acre lifestyle block. That’s not our business.”

And when it comes to dealing to rock, 24-year-old Madison Reid is the guy you want to know. WPBH own and operate a number of crushers, along with the dump trucks, diggers and loaders to keep the crusher’s insatiable appetite satisfied, and voluminous output accommodated. In fact, they own the largest portable crusher in the country, an 88 tonne Terex Findlay J1480 jaw crusher capable of processing a mind-blowing 5500 tonnes per day given the right conditions.

Today the total operation comprises 70 pieces of kit and employs 59 staff. Crushers process rock for the core business and on contract in various locations around the greater Auckland and Waikato regions.

Trucks-wise the WPBH fleet consists of four Isuzus, six Fusos, two DAFs, and as we know, two Kenworths have now entered the fray. Configuration for a WPBH truck is the uber-versatile 7-axle 6x4 rigid and 4-axle trailer.

“The Isuzus have been good machines, but the HD470 Fuso hasn’t been as reliable. I think they’re let down by the AMT,” said Grant. “The DAFs have been exceptional and I’m hoping the Kenworths will follow suit. I see the Isuzu and Fuso as five-year trucks, the DAF as a 10-year truck, and the Kenworth as a 20-year truck. Moving forward it will be DAF and Kenworth for those reasons and also maintenance and servicing continuity.”

Succession-wise all appears to be in good hands at WPBH, with Grant’s son Madison (24) running a big chunk of the company, in the portable crushers with three crews.

Madison’s partner, Rachel Creswell (24), also has a big part to play running all health and safety and quality controls. WPBH prides itself on safety. Seeing self-made people encourage and entrust the next generation to take up substantial reins in the enterprise is way more than commendable.

“I don’t think anyone really does any good at anything unless they’ve been in it 25 years or more,” said Grant. By then you’ve built that network of clients, engineers, support etc. and your own track record. It all starts to connect, come together and work.”

Chasing behind Madison are Soren (11), Poppy (9), and Culley (7), so there’s room for plenty more divisions, and with Grant and Alison’s example, who’d bet against that happening!

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Stripped bare

Not in the exposing rock sense, more the exposing a Kenworth sense. If you were going to buy a 20-year gravel workhorse you’d be hard-pressed to put a buck on a better gallop than the WPBH set-up. Risk – low. Reward – high. Aftersale? Once upon a time it was a sure-fire ‘high’ for a diesel powered KW, but 20 years from now? Best to just work the buggery out of it and see what happens.

Running gear-wise it’s pretty much the Satherley T900 Legend. Up front is the 15-litre Cummins X15 producing 459kW (615hp) at 1600rpm with a peak torque of 2780Nm (2050lb/ft) at 1150rpm.

It’s a Euro 5 unit via SCR with Cummins’ XPI (Extreme Pressure Injection) common rail system that manages injection independent of engine speed, with injection pressures north of 30,000psi.

Behind the big red firebox is the bulletproof Eaton Fuller RTLO20918B manual transmission. Front axle is the Meritor MFS73 7.3 tonne capacity axle on taper leaf springs and shocks. Out back is a Meritor RT46-160GP 20.9 tonne axle set with diff locks at 4.3:1 on Airglide 460 suspension.

The rails are 270mm x 89mm x 8mm with rear suspension insert and the whole show comes to a halt on drum brakes with ABS and EBSS (First ‘S’ – Safety).

Tare for the unit with two tanks of fuel, Transfleet body and trailer, ready to load, is 17 tonne.

Let’s go!

“POWER!!”

A well thought out and pondered quote from Jeremy Clarkson.

better when its flatmate ‘torque’ is home also – ‘flat’ being the operative word – and again, in the X15 they’re a beautiful union.

Take One

Toko’s an old hand and it’s immediately apparent. The WPBH Kenworths have gear levers, and in the hands of operators like this, technology is humbled in the face of feel and intuition.

You could argue technology has things like SmartCoast and SmartTorque2 up its sleeve, and lessons the job interview requirement, but in this application? Well, in fairness, nowadays it’s a case of ‘Gentlemen choose your weapon’, but personally I’d still rather hear half a million necessary gear changes in a day than the necessary half million plus a million extra decorative ones.

“I love the way in a bonneted truck the gear lever is straight down into the top of the gearbox, no lag or delay, really positive shifting,” said Toko.

Keeping the channels of trade open is important and in Toko’s case on the morning we were with him that’s literally

Although the load only had the T610 and trailer grossing a scant 41 tonne, it’s a wet mess making smooth operation an imperative. Toko’s just the man. The X15 ‘munched it up and spat out the bones’ so to speak, able to keep pace with Auckland’s motorway traffic no trouble at all. Toko’s truck education from grass roots shows aplenty as the gear lever and truck under his seat are almost an extension of himself. When it comes to gear changing, think of a hot knife through butter and you have Toko Whare.

Not all the company’s product is so easy on the gear, meaning bodies and trailers in this instance. The WPBH trucks cart nasty old stuff too like run-of-pit with its hidden ‘rocky bandits’. For this reason the Transfleet bodies are beefed up. The floors are double-skinned and sidewalls ribbed reinforced. Grant said going the extra mile in this area pays huge dividends.

The northern side of the Bombays was dispatched in highsplit at 71 km/h and 1150rpm – yawn! Deeper in, on the south side of Paparimu Road in the South Auckland rural region, things got a bit more serious on the steepest pinches, with the KW getting to the bottom of the high box, 1200rpm and 28km/h. That figure was as much, terrain, lane width and magnificently cautious and considerate driving on Toko’s part as anything else, but it also demonstrated the X15’s ability to hang on and live with the situation in the high box. It’s a testament to Big Red’s abilities…even at this tender age.

On these roads the difference between a half-life and whole life for things like pins, bushes, and for that matter anything that wears out, is the driver. You’re never going to get that extra load on a lead like this. A truck this capable in the wrong hands is either going to end up in the paddock or over the pit every weekend. It’s that simple. The truck’s life span in Toko’s hands? Twenty productive years we’d guess.

Take Two

We meet Len Allport, at Warkworth. He was on his way to pick up his second load of the day for delivery to the northern extension. The loading point was Wharahine Contractors’ quarry at Millbrook in Whangaripo, out toward the coast between Warkworth and Wellsford.

WPBH loader driver Tristan quickly threw the GAP150 in the bodies. The Metso Lokotrack LT 110 crusher was doing its thing like there was no tomorrow so keeping it clear kept him and his Komatsu WA 480 well occupied. Toko arrived just as we left. The lead from the quarry to the job took Len through the Dome Valley, Warkworth, and on up to the top of the Pohuehue Viaduct on State Highway 1. It’s a stretch of road that’s not necessarily bad, but one that destroys many families as a result of appalling driving. So, from the quarry out, it’s roughly 25km of narrow, twisting, off-cambered, poorly surfaced roads, followed by 25km of rolling, winding state highway, broken by steep pinches, and populated by the lunatic fringe on wheels. Glorious – not.

The combination left the quarry at just over 49 tonne GCM. That gave 32 tonne of product on board, although you certainly wouldn’t have picked it. Len eased the truck out onto Whangaripo Valley Road, chose a few gears here and there, and we ambled up to a safe speed.

“It’s just patience up here, that’s all it is,” he said. “You can’t force it.”

Turning out onto State Highway 1 just north of the Dome and things got a bit more focused. On through the valley and around and over the 55km/h corner and bridge at the southern end, then into the climb. The Kenworth gave a bark and leapt over the first pinch in sixth high split. Down the southern flanks the Jacobs engine brake – that other unbeatable trooper in the world of trucking – did its job, holding proceedings up, able to deliver 447kW (600hp) worth of braking at peak revs, and even 335kW (450hp) in the mid-range.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Through the bottleneck that is Warkworth and on up onto the Pohuehue Viaduct. Another marvel of Northland roading: a passing lane on a steady climb that narrows to a dual carriageway bridge and then opens up again into two lanes.

The power of the X15 came into its own again as a swarm of cars all trying to beat a slower truck entering the bridge section resulted in the typical Kiwi manic jam-up that rippled back to us, balking progress instantly. Len grabbed the take-up gear and the truck started clawing back ground. This was the unison of big power and the 18-speed transmission at its best. Every time the Cummins got to peak power Len took another half gear and in no time we were back in the climbing cog.

“Wasn’t that long ago, you’d have been in the gear you ended up in back there,” said Len. “That’s what power does for you.”

On round two the run up the viaduct was unimpeded and the lowest number we saw on the odo was 40km/h, again in sixth high split, at 1350rpm.

In comparison with the act of getting through the public mayhem, the trip to the drop-off stockpile at the end of Moir Hill Road was almost boring. The professionalism, and orderly nature of the gargantuan Puhoi extension project, was a welcome respite. Through the checkpoint Charlie the haul roads were well groomed, although recent rain had made them slick on top. Gradients are nothing like the outside world, and log drivers would likely be the only ones who felt right at home. Len approached with caution, selected the appropriate gear – third high split – with the diff locks in, and attacked the short sharp pinch up to the tip pad.

Freddy frugal in fierce terrain

Fuel economy and the world of WPBH aren’t necessarily the closest bed-fellows. Short haul, stop, start, twisting, winding,

steep, heavy – it’s all fuel sapping. Having said that, the X15s are making a good fist of a bad situation, recording an average of 1.97kpl in the rugged work like the Puhoi job. There are a couple of things in that though. Firstly, on that job they’re 50% loaded and that’s not always the case at WPBH. Secondly, style is everything and Toko and Len have it in spades when it comes to coercing a big motor into doing something without it knowing. Put a boof-head in the cab with something to prove to the world and that figure will be 1.4kpl in a heartbeat.

“If I got to that stage…

… I wouldn’t want to do it.” That’s Grant Reid’s view on accepting a shoddy image when it comes to his plant. “Yes, they’re workhorses, and I know in this job it’s impossible to keep them looking clean all the time, they are here to do a job after all, they’re not show ponies. But I like them to look right.

I hate things like mud flaps off, lights broken, bent guards. You have to be constantly on top of it and present a professional image.”

That generally goes for the entire operation. The weather leading up to both outings had been rubbish but all the loaders and crushers we saw looked more than respectable. There’s obviously an underlying culture here.

Outside of warranty, the equipment is all serviced at the company workshops and their maintenance is regular and fastidious. In the dust and grit-filled world they all work in, it has to be. Tip the hood on the T610, which incidentally a five-year-old could do, and there’s the X15. It’s nothing like a T909, or even a 409 installation. Although it looks well down and back, it’s actually a case of the new cab coming forward 300mm on the chassis against the comparative T680 model in the US. This was to meet Aussie length laws (length and law

A journey, an adventure

T

oko Whare greets us with a warm and sincere welcome as we climb aboard his new Kenworth T610. As Toko eases the empty unit out of the yard and on to the road you very quickly become aware of his smooth and ‘gently does it’ approach to driving his new pride and joy.

Toko, 53, started in transport on a farm near Waikaretu between Port Waikato and Raglan, and his Father Mina drove a Leyland for a local contractor working for the Raglan County Council. His passion for trucks, machinery, and driving, was instilled riding in the passenger’s seat alongside his Dad. Once clear of school and with a farming background, Toko worked as a shearing contractor in and around Port Waikato and Waiterimu, with truck driving playing second fiddle.

It was a part-time job with a local market gardener on a 6-wheeler D Series Ford and crane that would plant the seed for change. As time went by the call of the road was too hard to ignore, and Toko made the change to professional driving.

Fond memories of driving a T-line International rate up there for Toko, “I loved the cab layout and looking out the narrow windscreen,” he said. However, throwing chains over milled timber damaged Toko’s back and slowed him up for some time. “I went to see a surgeon and he wanted to operate immediately and indicated that I would probably never walk again.” With this information Toko requested a second opinion, a very wise decision on his part.

A physiotherapist administered treatment that not only rehabilitated his back, it has also helped him avoid back surgery.

After recovery Toko had a spell on bulk units in and around Auckland before moving on to logs.

“I learned a lot on this particular job with both on and off-road work,” said Toko. “You meet great guys on the road that are willing to assist and teach you the ropes, working alongside of Bom Te Huia at this time was awesome.”

linehaul on refrigerated distribution work came his way, which he grabbed.

“A lot of good times running the North Island, and the manual T404 Kenworth I had was a great truck that made the job even sweeter.”

Returning home one afternoon nearly seven years ago, Grant Reid made Toko an offer to come over to Waiau Pa Bulk Haulage, and drive a 400hp Isuzu for him.

“The idea of being home every night was appealing so I shifted across. Now after the Isuzu, a Fuso, and a DAF I have been presented with the T610, which I was not sure of at first. However, after a couple of days it was like ‘try and take it off me’,” laughed Toko with a cheeky smile. “All I want now is to be told by Grant to take a good max load of palm kernel to Ashburton and then

September 2018

backload Rakaia river shingle home to really see what the T610 can do.”

Toko loves the truck, his job, and the industry.

“It never ceases to amaze me that people ask me as a truck driver for directions on the fastest way to somewhere. I tell them, and then they never listen and go their own way anyway,” he laughs.

The Waiau Pa job allows him the flexibility of having the truck home every night with a pick-up point just down the road from his Maramarua home. Toko and his partner are parents to six children and 18 ‘grandies’. He has three brothers, all drivers as well. Eruera has been on floating work at Mainfreight but is shortly on the move from there. Jason drives at Powell Transport in Pukekohe, and Howard works with him at WPBH driving a Fuso.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ are two things not that well correlated in the US). Daily checks aren’t an issue, but you wouldn’t want to be heading for major work on the back two pots very often.

One interesting aspect of the buy is WPBH’s decision not to go with the SAR variant that sports the external air cleaners.

Incoming air is ducted through the hood, which has integrated pre-cleaners removing 80% of dust and debris. That being the case, and with a good servicing programme, it’s probably of little consequence, and removing any appendages will make the aero boffins rejoice.

The trucks do look very slick in the WPBH white with gold and green, with the lines flowing onto the Transfleet body and trailer. It’s a smart professional image – exactly the Reid philosophy.

Summary

Bringing a new Kenworth to market is a big deal. A real big deal. The name brings with it an expectation. Yes, there will be the knockers, there always are, but stand in the most arduous locations trucks can be found in Australasia and do a badge count. That’ll get you your answer.

It would appear Kenworth have put in the hard preparation yards prior to the T610’s arrival, and that’s absolutely how it had to be.

Bayswater know full well what comprises the Kenworth look and feel, the X-factor, because the T610 is without doubt, unmistakeably and gloriously Kenworth. Yes, it’s been updated on so many fronts it’s uncountable but there’s no doubting whose truck it is.

What’s not on its side at the moment is time, but on what we’ve seen there’s no reason for WPBH or the wider customer base to have any concerns. It doesn’t matter who built it, there’s always a suck it and see aspect on any new truck, and yes, there will be tweaks and improvements over time, but that’s all they’ll be.

What is on the T610’s side, something the T600A never had, is bonnets, big square classic bonnets, if that’s still what you really want. Choice is king and this time they have the field well covered. 

PIC OF THE MONTH

You won’t believe it, but this is a county watercart (See Just Truckin’ Around the World P 49). The Diamantina Shire in South West Queensland is 97,000 square kilometers of not much at all, with many long and rutted dirt roads. It’s not the sort of place you where you just come home from the job each night.

Watching the grader and water cart combo working on a road that’s lost to both horizons certainly has a disheartening element about it.

Knowing what works When Dave Fretwell from Metal Solutions BOP went hunting for a second truck, he soon realised what he wanted didn’t exist – so he set about building it himself.

ave and wife Jo own Metal Solutions near Whakatane, and their needs are a bit different from most operators. Following the fruitless search for a ready to work secondhand truck, and the subsequent decision to build what they wanted themselves, the couple settled on a 2011 ex-Fonterra Volvo FM12 as the base vehicle.

“Because we’re not a trucking company and we don’t charge out our trucks in the traditional sense, it’s pretty hard to justify a brand new unit,” says Dave. “The Volvo offered us a chance

36

to get into a late model, decent horsepower, well maintained unit, which then let us spend the money on a brand new crane, a brand new body, and set it up correctly.”

Dave says when he measured the Volvo he found that wheelbase-wise it was pretty perfect.

“They’ve already got hydraulics, PTO (power take off ), oil tank. Sure the pump’s the wrong pump, but everything’s there.

The PTO is wired into the cab already to engage the hoist and the crane, and we didn’t have to strengthen the chassis either.

And things like it already had a 50mm ring feeder and was on air suspension, stuff like that just ticked all the boxes.”

The Volvo was sent to Koromiko Engineering in Mt Maunganui who built the truck body, using high tensile foldings from Primero Profiles in Auckland, while Dave and his team did the rest of the work in Metal Solution’s workshop.

“They were able to give us the long one-piece foldings in the 450 grade high tensile steel and we’re really rapt with what they did. Derek and his team at Koromiko did an awesome

Dave and the team at Metal Solutions undertook some fairly major modifications on the company’s first Volvo (also of Fonterra origin) when they started the company five and a half years ago, but this is the first truck Dave has purpose-built for his own company. Dave has a 30-year background in the scrap metal and engineering industries and he’s supervised several builds when working for other people. This, and the fact he also drives the truck sometimes, gives him a unique viewpoint.

“We’re a typical small company, I’m out there along with everyone else, so that gives us the luxury that I can get on the job and go, ‘well, I reckon this would be a great idea on our truck because…’ And I think that’s a little bit unique, because generally speaking in our trade, the guys who are using the gear are not building it.”

Left: Driver Matt Turner at work (note the grab cradle still in the swung out position. Right: Matt couples the grab to the crane.

“I did this on all the trucks I supervised back for my old employer, and it’s become even more important now with all the health and safety stuff. When you’re hiab loading, you’re up and down all the time unless you’ve got someone helping you, and if you look at the average scrap truck, the guy spends his time climbing over the headboard. It’s not fun. That’s probably the single biggest thing in the whole rig, and it’s not a new thing for us because we’ve done it on every truck we’ve built.”

Dave says it has definitely reduced accidents, as have several other safety features he has installed on the new truck.

“We’ve spent a lot of time with things like the positioning of steps, and how we’ve made the handrails. We put in quite a bit of effort so that the driver doesn’t have to let go with their hands; they can basically slide their hands down the handrail the whole way. And on this one we’ve got custom steps that we’ve profile cut and fabricated. We didn’t need to do that, that’s just me being fussy, but they work really well, you don’t slip on them.”

Dave and his team took on the task of fitting the toolboxes, stand-up control and grab mount (which they also designed and built), and moving the muffler, which has been fitted below the chassis on the passenger side.

“The engineer at Finishing Touch Engineering, who did the certifying, told me he’d never seen it done. He said plenty of guys had tried to put it on the left-hand side, but he’d never seen it successfully done.”

Palfinger NZ supplied the crane on the Volvo.

“It’s the latest PK 17.001 SLD with radio remote control and rotator. A little extra we added is we’ve made a drop-in mount for the radio remote on the high stand. We spend a lot of time loading trailers with the truck, parking parallel because you can’t reach into the trailer, and then loading across, so the driver needs to be in a position where he can see and be safe.

He doesn’t necessarily want to be wearing the radio remote around his waist the whole time because of the climbing up and down, so up on the high stand he’s got a little docking station and he just drops the radio remote into that. He can leave it there while he steps inside the body and unhooks his chains. It’s an expensive little gadget and he doesn’t have to worry about it getting snagged on anything.”

Dave says his engineering background helps him work out what he can and can’t do with regard to modifying a truck.

“There are always things that we are still working towards

38

achieving, but we’re pretty happy with the truck build as it is, we’ve ticked every box. The grab mount is probably the single biggest improvement on this unit. If you go back to what we were doing and what everybody else does, the grab lives on the front of the body normally. In our game the grab is not left on the crane.

In some trucks it is, because they’re only self-loading, but what we’re doing, where we’re changing from bulk loading with a grab to then crane scale loading with chains – trying to be versatile I suppose – then normally the grab lives on the front of the body.

“With our old truck, the grab stays on the crane a lot more than it needs to, and you can’t fold the crane up with the grab on, and so we drive around with the crane sitting in the scrap sometimes. It’s bad for the crane, it’s bad for the hoses – it’s just generally bad!”

Dave says driver Matt Turner was initially sceptical of his plans for the grab mount.

“I said to him, ‘we’re buying a brand new crane, it’s $60,000, you’re going to be folding it up between every job, but my promise to you is I’m going to make it easy’. So then we set about designing this grab mount that swings out from the chassis. We spent a lot of time mucking around with patterns.

The grab would not fit in its normal hanging position, so we’ve had to make a mount that swivels the grab as part of the parking process, so that it actually fits. It slides slightly under the chassis and just clears the deck, and it literally has no spare room.”

Once he’d figured out how to make it work, Dave did extensive drawings and ordered the profiles before fabricating the mount in their workshop.

As well as Primero, Dave also used Whakatane company East Bay Engineering for some of the profiles.

“They were awesome. It was great because they were local.

I could go and sit down in front of their computer and they could draw it while I was there and we could tweak it and make it right.”

Returning to the decision over what to buy originally, Dave says as they don’t do high kilometres – about 50,000 to 60,000 a year – buying a completely new truck could not be justified.

“I reckon we’ll get four to five years out of this truck, at that point we’ll be at about 1.2ks, and it will be time to roll the chassis out and roll another one in. The next one will be way cheaper because we’ll have a crane and a body that will go straight across. This gave us the option where we’d end up with

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ what we wanted.”

As well as designing a truck that was exactly what they needed, Dave decided to give Metal Solutions’ image a facelift as well.

“We completely changed our image as far as colours go on this truck. We use a local company called Diverse Graphics.

Chanelle talked to us and did a number of different options for us to consider. Originally we were going to stay with white, and then Chanelle came to us with a proof that’s close to what we’ve actually done, with a black background, and then they gave us the flip in the white. The black one just looked so awesome, it really popped. While I’m a little anti painting anything black because it’s so hard to keep clean, we decided it was just too good not to do it. So we tweaked it a little bit, made some suggestions which they incorporated, and we’re pretty happy with the end result.”

Dave says when they got the truck back from Koromiko, who fitted the crane as well as the body, the hoist was working and the tailgate was on, and the unit just needed painting.

“We took it from there. We took the body back off once we’d finished a few other things and got it down to Whakatane Blast N Paint for the painting. Brad from Coastline Auto Electrical supplied and installed the side camera and sensors, the lights, and all the wiring. The side camera and proximity sensors protect that blind spot around the passenger door and make it so much easier to manoeuvre. Brad did a great job sourcing all the various components and making the whole package work. It went on the road two weeks before Christmas 2017.”

The Volvo will mainly be a scrap metal truck, doing a regular run to Gisborne, up as far as Waihi in the other direction, and through to Tokoroa. Metal Solutions specialise in providing top service over a wide area and the truck will be utilised for both bulk loading with the grab and doing weigh and pay work using the Palfinger crane and a certified 5 tonne crane scale.

“Matt is its usual driver. I think on the whole he’s loving it.”

Metal Solutions has nine staff in total, having recently brought two young drivers through to a class 4. Matt Turner has been working at Metal Solutions for two years, but had worked for Dave for about five years in another company.

“It’s a great company to work for and that makes a difference. It’s only a small crowd but a good one. We’re all pretty experienced, but the new truck is kind of a reward for all my hard work.”

He says the Volvo has all the bells and whistles, including eight proximity sensors and a reversing camera mounted on the passenger side mirror.

“From the driver’s seat, you can see down the passengers side when you are backing into narrow places. It’s really nice to drive and really nice on the road.”

Matt says the new truck is a huge improvement on the old one, a 2002 Volvo FM12 that has done 1.44 million kilometres.

“It has a more modern cab with air con and a modern transmission – I’m just a simple truck driver, but if you can have the creature comforts of a cab like this, it makes the day a bit easier. It certainly helps with your fatigue.”

In just four years, Northland haulage operator Mike Brockliss has risen from a driver for others to an owner of a 6-vehicle fleet.

His has been a mercurial rise. Yet for the man many call Slim, big thinking has paid off.

M

ike ‘Slim’ Brockliss has put a big day in at work. There is no time for an interview during the day. “It will have to be at night,” he said.

“Will that be okay?” he adds with the unfailing politeness that marks the man.

When meeting Mike for the first time, you are immediately struck by his size. It can’t be helped. He is a big man physically, and the rabid fan of all things Vodafone Warriors looks as tough as they come.

However, New Zealand Trucking magazine has talked to

some who work with him, or for him, and the general opinion is that he is ‘a great bloke’ and ‘a good boss’. Nor does it seem apparent that his size or mental toughness played any major role in getting him to where he is today. He seems to have done that through a combination of luck, being in the right place at the right time, the support of his wife, Sarah, and the financial backing of those who believed in the potential of the man from Kerikeri.

Today Mike’s company, Brockliss Haulage, has a 6-vehicle fleet, comprising one 4-wheeler Mitsubishi, one 6-wheeler Isuzu, an FM Volvo, two vans for around town deliveries, and from earlier this year a Volvo FH Globetrotter and 5-axle trailer. Both Volvos are 50MAX units, and Mike double-shifts them five days and nights per week.

He employs eight drivers and has long haul and short haul contracts for Toll from Auckland north.

Four years ago, he had nothing.

Thirty-eight-year-old Mike Brockliss was born in the north – Rawene – but educated mostly in Auckland. He left school when he was 13.

“I knew school wasn’t for me, so I pulled out and enrolled in Correspondence School and then worked for my Dad’s

So many successful transport businesses have a husband and wife or life-partners duo at the core.

By the time he turned 18 he had settled on a goal that would eventually lead him to where he is today. “When I was 18, I got my Class 2 driving licence. Driving trucks was something I now know I always wanted to do.

“I got my first job with Broadway Vehicle Deliveries, delivering cars from the wharves to various dealerships around town. Spent a year there. Got my Class 4 and went to work at Pakuranga Earthmovers driving a 6-wheeler. I got my Class 5 a year later and started with Fitchett Brothers, a contractor to Parceline Express. I then moved into an operations role, running all their trucks.”

Mike was starting to put his plan into place.

“I went to work with another Parceline contractor, called Dave Pennycuick. One of Dave’s runs I jumped on was the nightly Auckland–Whangarei–Kerikeri–Kaitaia loop – about 720ks a night.” That run reintroduced Mike to Northland and the Far North, and he soon got his opportunity to move ‘home’.

It was a pivotal point in Mike’s career path.

“About six months into me doing the run, Dave decided he wanted a truck based north of Whangarei so they could do a load down at night. That gave me the opportunity to move up north to Kerikeri.”

Mike took the opportunity, and the next five years was spent driving NZ Courier trucks, and – for a while – bulk tippers for Dan Carter. He remembers enjoying those jobs, but there was a lingering thirst for something he had set as his goal years earlier – to become his own boss.

“I was speaking with Toll about an owner-driver position in Kerikeri. Nothing came of it initially, so I took anything I could in terms of casual driving work.

“But four years ago, Toll rang me back asking me whether I was still interested. I took them up on that. ”UDC financed me into my first truck – the FM Volvo

– and I hooked up with an old mate from my days with Fitchett Brothers double-shifting: me doing the night runs to Auckland and him doing general local freight during the day.

“Things snowballed from that. When I started, Toll had two owner-drivers in Kerikeri. Toll then said we might as well do their work as well. Then Toll offered us the courier work, and I put a van on for that and bought another van of my own volition for around town deliveries.”

Eight months ago, Mike brought the Volvo Globetrotter. It wasn’t his first choice; initially, he was opting for another FM Volvo. “But there was an 11-month wait for those, and Toll and I wanted a truck on the Auckland run immediately and the ‘Globie’ was ex-stock, so I opted for that.

“I was a bit hesitant at first with a truck and trailer that big on the run. But eight months on it has been a good choice.

Good to drive. Gets lot of attention around town.”

Mike is right. His Globetrotter is a big truck in a small town, and it is an impressive sight as it moves effortlessly out of Toll’s mid-town depot and onto State Highway 10.

It is the kind of sight, the kind of truck, that attracts youngsters to the road transport industry. Mike was one of them. He knew from the age of seven when he climbed into the cab of a Hilders’ stock truck that being a driver was what he wanted to do. “I remember thinking, ‘Yep, this is me. This is what I want to do’.”

A few years after that, he had another dream: to be his own boss, to own a fleet. He achieved that with the help of people who believed in him (see sidebar story).

Mike admits that it has not always been easy, and swift growth presents a few challenges. It is something of a juggling act, balancing the need to ‘gear up’ based both on existing and potential work.

“But, if you are willing to take the risk, do your research, and – above all – talk to people and build relationships, then you will get all the help you need to get where you are going.” 

‘With a little help from my friends’ Mike says that he and Sarah wouldn’t have been able to be in business without the help and belief of a few key people and organisations.

He pays tribute to UDC. “We wouldn’t be where we are without Sean Dowling and his (UDC) team. They knew what we were on about. They knew a contract with Toll meant something. UDC took time to learn about my business and its potential, whereas the banks were more about ‘What have you got now?’”

Truck Stops Whangarei have been good to Brockliss Haulage, as well. “By arrangement, they service our fleet Saturday mornings, which keeps the trucks on the road. Contract maintenance out of Truck Stops and the help we got from Carl Capstick of Motor Truck Distributors are two of the reasons I chose Volvo to mainline my fleet.

“And of course, there was Toll having faith in

42

me. That was mega.”

However, for all the help he has got from outside sources and from Sarah, the early influencers are still important to Mike today.

He believes his present success is in part because of what he learnt about the industry from earlier employers such as the Fitchett brothers, Dave Pennycuick and Dan (‘The Man’) Carter.

“They taught me a lot, not only about driving trucks, but also how to run companies.

“If I were going to say something to any youngster wanting to start off in the trucking business today, it would be to start at the bottom, work your way up, and learn all you can on the way.

“Take your time. You can learn quick and then again you can learn well. The two are not always the same.”

Crawl before you walk Story by Carl Kirkbeck

For two years we have read and seen Volvo promotional material on the I-Shift gearbox fitted with new crawler gears. New Zealand Trucking magazine went to Mount Cotton to drive a fully rigged 203 tonne heavy haul unit fitted with the new bottom end cogs.

V

olvo Group Australia president Peter Voorhoeve oversaw the launch of the I-Shift with crawler gears in Australia at the Mt Cotton facility last month. On hand was Ove Wikström, heavy duty transmission and rear axle manager Volvo Trucks Gothenburg, Sweden. There was no shortage of technical firepower or product passion.

Making ourselves comfortable in the driver’s seat of the Volvo FH16-700 Globetrotter fitted with the latest incarnation of the company’s critically acclaimed I-Shift gearbox we’re

staring into the teeth of an 8.8% gradient loaded to 203 tonne GCM. The instruction comes to select ‘C1’, release the park brake, and gently apply a little pressure on the accelerator.

What happens next is jaw-dropping. There is a gentle rumble from the D16G-700 and the left side of the cab awakens and gains a little altitude as the torque is steadily applied, and with that the combination is away. The ease in which this happens beggars belief. The experience leaves you grinning and shaking your head with astonishment as to just how effortless it was.

We now understand completely just how much of a game changer this new feature is to the placement of Volvo’s line-up in the industry.

Problem – solution

The issue that has plagued the entire transport industry for a millennium was a driving force for the Volvo Trucks’ I-Shift research and development team. How to specify a strong drivetrain with ratios that work well together with the I-Shift, allowing ease of startability at maximum GCM from a standstill, while not compromising fuel economy at open road cruising speeds. Historically we have had to make a sacrifice at one end of the rev range or the other; no longer.

The concept, now reality, simply introduces a new module containing the crawler gears, directly in line between the rear of the bell housing and the front of a reinforced and strengthened

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ RUNNING ON SCR?... standard I-Shift gearbox. This crawler unit is specified at time of order in either one of two variants, the ASO-C or ASOULC. Both of these options can be fitted to the AT2612F, ATO3112F, or ATO3512F gearboxes behind either the D13 or D16 Euro 5 engines within the FH16, FH, FM or FMX models. The ASO-C version will give the operator one extra forward crawler gear below first gear, and the ASO-ULC two extra forward crawler fears below first gear.

The magic

The crux of the new crawler gear options is found in the numbers. Using the ATO3112F gearbox as an example, it becomes very easy to see exactly where the magic occurs.

In standard guise first gear has a ratio of 11.73:1. Now add to this the ASO-C option and you have a completely new crawler gear below first with a ratio of 17.54; a significant step lower. Taking this another jump by specifying the ASOULC option will place two new gears below first gear, the first being an impressive 19.38:1 ratio, and the second a massive 32.04:1, allowing the capability of a near stationary crawl at 0.5 kph with Volvo’s Engine Control feature engaged and locked at just 600 rpm. As impressive as the new gear ratios are on paper, driving them introduces you to a new dimension of heavy vehicle control. The development of the crawler gears was an exclusive in- house Volvo Trucks programme. “This has resulted in a unique selling point for Volvo Trucks that no other heavy truck manufacturer can offer,” said Ove Wickstöm.

Flipside

The added advantage once either the ASO-C or ASO-ULC modules have been specified is the ability to add the optional MSR (multi speed reverse) to the order. This will add two extra reverse gears in to the line-up.

The standard ratios for R1 R2 R3 and R4 in the ATO3112F are 13.73:1, 10.78:1, 3.16:1, and 2.48:1, respectively. Add the ASO-C module with MSR and you go from a choice of four reverse gears to a line-up of no fewer than six. This is achieved by an extra gear with a ratio of 4.72:1 being placed in the middle of the existing four reverse gears, as well as a completely new crawler gear added below R1 with a 20.53:1 ratio. Once again take the next step and specify the ASO-ULC with MSR and those two new ratios step to 8.62:1 for the new gear between the existing R2 and R3, and down to a whopping 37.49:1 ratio for the new crawler gear.

Strain on the train

Although the picture that has been painted for crawler gears depicts heavy haul applications, their application is in no way exclusive to the heavy haulage sector. During the test day at Mount Cotton we were also introduced to an on-highway specified example in the form of a FH16-540 curtainsider B-double loaded to a GCM of 61 tonne. As we set off from nice level ground and ventured off around the test track, our guide informed us about the attributes of the ATO3112F gearbox with ASO-C and MSR installed in this particular tractor unit. He was quick to inform us of just how the new

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ features assist operators of all walks to ease the strain on the entire driveline, especially when at maximum loading. This could not have been more apparent than when we undertook a hill start, pulling the rig up to a complete stop on a respectable incline. Selecting ‘Auto’, we press gear down once to select C1 (Crawler Gear 1), release the park brake and apply a little pressure on the accelerator, and again a gentle growl from the D16G and off we go with the I-Shift progressively and very smoothly working its way up through the gears. Once more we are left in awe of just how effortless the drivetrain had to work to get the 61 tonne unit rolling. Not a bead of sweat on the brow.

Total control

Alongside of ease of startability, the other welcome attribute with the use of crawler gears is accurate control while manoeuvring at low speeds no matter the weight, either in forward or reverse gears. Combine this with Volvo Dynamic Steering and the real benefit of control in tight confines – whatever conditions are thrown at the situation – become immediately appreciated. By utilising the lower ratios of the crawler gears from a standstill start, the energy applied to the clutch during application is reduced to only 25% of what is normally required for a standard I-Shift, again assisting with smooth and controlled vehicle movement. Add to this the ability to customise each and every individual I-Shift with a software package that best suits the intended application, and you end up with a truck where the behavioural characteristics

of the driveline can be heavily influenced. This feature also enhances appeal in terms of redeployment or resale, as programmes installed can be removed and a more appropriate package installed for the new owner if the need arose.

The road forward

Our introduction, and experience with the crawler gears at Mount Cotton, was eye-opening. The I-Shift has undergone significant development since its release in 2002, and today there’s no question it’s among the pacesetters in the AMT game.

The question begged is where next? Ove Wikström told attendees the much-vaunted dual clutch system is now available for the Australasian market and ready for ordering.

The concept and application of the dual clutch system within passenger vehicles and light commercials has been revolutionary. In principle it separates the gearbox in two and applies a separate clutch for each side of the gearbox.

This allows the ability to have the vehicle rolling with an engaged gear while having the next gear preloaded and ready to be activated with virtually zero disruption to power flow.

The benefits to heavy-duty trucks are obvious; not least the ability to maintain constant high turbo pressure while making shifts. Not resting on their laurels, Volvo Trucks initiated revolutionary change, developing the SPO2812 I-Shift 12-speed gearbox with dual clutch, available up to 2800Nm (2065lb/ft) and 70 tonne GCM. We cannot wait to try that out on the Kaimais! 

Mark Wakefield When Faye Lougher first spoke to Mark Wakefield at the truck stop in Levin, he was driving a 2007 Kenworth T404S carting a load of logs bound for Wellington on a CLS Feilding truck. He asked if she could wait until the following week to take his photo as he was getting a new truck. It’s taken a few months to catch up with Mark again, this time at a forest on the edge of Levin, but now he’s driving a 2017 Cummins powered Kenworth T409 with an Eaton Fuller 18-speed and McCarthy-built Highway Hound trailer.

He’s enjoying the new truck, saying it’s a bit better than the old one, has more power and is more comfortable.

“I always liked trucks as a boy and I’ve been driving trucks since I left school. Big rigs about 10 years, and 15 years all up.”

Mark says he loves the excitement of driving and the fact

what he sees changes every day.

“And the guys there are a good bunch to work with.”

Mark couldn’t really identify any problems in the industry – “not from a driver anyway”.

He chose vexing question number 77, would he rather go for a run or a swim?

“I’m not really a runner, so I’ll take a swim.”

Khyle Brookland Waikaka Transport’s Khyle Brookland was washing up and doing the greasing after a busy Saturday morning spreading super around some of eastern Southland’s wonderful countryside.

Craig Andrews jumped at the opportunity for a quick yarn about what makes him tick.

Khyle drives this 2012 MAN with 160,000 kms on the clock and spends most of the time spreading fertiliser along with another MAN and a Mercedes-Benz Atego that form part of the fleet. There are other spreaders that join the fleet from time to time when the pressure’s on from the Milnes Transport fleet in Isla Bank.

Most of his work is hill country and he has been in this role for five months now. Prior to working with Waikaka he was driving tractors on agriculture work over in Pukerau, and on silage trucks over at Te Anau, so is used to the paddock work.

He got into the trucking industry to see more of the countryside – he’s definitely doing that – and to meet more people. “I enjoy working for a small trucking company. It’s easier to get along with people when we all know one another,” he says.

Khyle believes that health and safety is getting a bit out of control, which is about the only negative he could think of within the industry, and the positives are related to the type of work he does. “I enjoy the hills which can make it quite exciting, especially when the truck is crabbing across a face with all the wheels clutching for grip.”

Khyle rates the Waikaka Transport guys highly and he really enjoys driving for them. “They have done a lot for me and my family.”

Khyles vexing question was buy a chicken or shoot a duck.

Craig McCauley was recently in that neck of the woods when he stumbled upon Bill Chalk and the Western Star 6900 Series he drives for the Diamantina Shire Council. Bill was leading one of the Shire’s Cat 140M graders, with his A-train (semi and 5-axle dog) water cart, watering the outback Diamantina Development road 70km north of Birdsville on the road to Bedourie.

The Western Star is one of four the Shire owns, two 4900s and two 6900s, and all are registered to operate only in the Shire boundaries. Overkill you might think? Bear in mind the Shire’s 97,000 square kilometres make it twice the size of Denmark.

The Western Star has a 600hp Cummins, 18-speed Roadranger and 44,000lb Meritor diffs. It’s equipped with a Stratosphere sleeper, Icepack, the works.

Bill’s been driving for 29 years on everything from cattle, to gas, to scrap metal, and it’s taken him to every corner of the country.

“I’ve enjoyed driving and I’ve been at the Shire for about six months. I’m enjoying being home a lot more, more than I’ve ever been. Trucking’s hard on the family. My firstborn was 12 months old and I’d only been home 11 days in that first year,” he said. “This is great in that respect.”

The vexing question: Why doesn’t the Diamantina Shire capex committee buy gear for councils the world over?

TOP TRUCK

‘Sweet Child of Mine’ – a salute to logging legends of the Bay Story and photos by Carl Kirkbeck

The calibre of detail and preparation on this month’s Top Truck is no coincidence. The net result of an owner-driver who started at the bottom of the ladder, surrounded by legends of the industry.

I

n the early 80s a young Matt Barraclough moved to Bay View, just north of Napier, as result of his father’s employment with Pan Pac. This placed Matt ringside in an iconic era of log trucks passing right by his doorstep, heading just up the road to feed the insatiable appetite of the Whirinaki mill.

Matt’s passion for trucks started early, riding shotgun with his Dad, who was helping out with relief driving for a couple of the local logging contractors. This is where Matt’s love for log trucks started and to this day it’s as strong as ever.

“I used to watch the likes of Cliff Guy roll past in his immaculate W model Kenworth and think to myself, ‘that’s me, that’s what I want to be doing’,” said Matt.

After leaving school Matt started working for a local nursery that had a couple of four-wheelers. As he set off to sit his licence the manager said, “Do not fail mate, you have deliveries this afternoon”.

When Matt’s Dad began working for Linton Transport

Matt seized the opportunity to help out around the yard, on the wash, and looking over the shoulders of the mechanics.

“Mucking-in and getting your hands dirty and spending time in the passenger’s seat is the way to learn; it’s these opportunities that are missing for today’s youngsters,” said Matt.

At 21 Matt finally realised the dream of getting into the driver’s seat of a log unit. It was a night shift position driving a DAF CF85 for a local contractor. From there he spent time with Gary Deakin on export out of the Awaho Forest, and then with Alan Forbes at Pan Pac for the best part of seven years.

It was in 2010 that an opportunity to become an owner-driver with Pan Pac presented itself. This involved the purchase of a secondhand DAF CF85 logging unit with 177,000 kilometres on the clock. The DAF did the groundwork over the next three and a half years that paved the way for the purchase of Matt’s first new rig, ‘Elvis’, a Kenworth K108E. Now four and a half years later it was time to raise the bar a little.

‘Sweet Child of Mine’ is a 2017 flat roof Kenworth K200 running a Cummins X15 at 458kW (615hp) mated to a manual 18-speed Roadranger with Meritor 46-160 diffs on Kenworth’s 8-bag air suspension, and rigged out with Kraft logging equipment. The paint scheme is a twist on a classic Kenworth factory scheme, and is similar to the well-known Melbourne-based ‘Freestones’ fleet, one Matt’s always liked.

The roof mounted 7” air intakes with mushroom tops are a tipof-the-hat to the ‘old-skool’ Aussie cabovers of the day.

Matt had a clear image of exactly what he was trying to achieve; however the rig would not have come together the way it has without a dedicated team in the background taking

Yes, it does get dirty. Real dirty!

as crunching the numbers for me, and the kids look after the cleaning: Blake on the exterior and Reese on the interior,” said Matt. “It really is a family business that I am very proud of.”

The layout of the unit is a real credit to Matt, as is the presentation. It is fair to say that the legends of the industry in the Bay who influenced Matt on his journey have all had a hand in this build.

‘Sweet child of mine’ is a true working truck, and the photo above shows that its job first and foremost is to put food on the Barraclough table. But opening the poster will also show the pride this family takes in its number one ride.  PH OT O: ED M A NS E L

Matt’s ideas and turning them into reality.

The signage and pin-striping were a collaboration with Darren Caulfield, and Matt is very quick to praise Darren for all his efforts. Also, the team at Kraft were “just magic”; the level of enthusiasm for the project was exactly what was needed. As for the stainless steel work that adorns ‘Sweet Child of Mine’, that is the work of locals KR Tong Engineering, “‘Grunter’ went above and beyond,” said Matt.

Then there is special mention of the amazing support from Matt’s family. Without them alongside him Matt said he could not have achieved this goal.

“Daphne is so diligent looking after all the accounts as well

his month we have a joint Good On Ya Mate that recognises two transport identities who said yes to something guaranteed to put a big smile on a young boy’s face.

Back in June Jocelyn Rhind Hira had made a rookie mistake of asking what son Lincoln, due to turn five on 27 July, wanted at his party.

“He replied, ‘could I have a Kenworth truck at my party?’

I thought he’d ask for something like a bouncy castle!” she laughed.

Not wanting to disappoint Lincoln, she put out a plea for help on a Facebook trucking page.

“I asked if there were any owner-operators or companies close to Pukekohe who would allow one of their trucks to come to our place on the Saturday for an hour or two. I know Lincoln would be happy just to sit in it and honk the horn and have a few photos taken.”

This led to a series of posts between Northchill driver Jo Neustroski and her boss, Graham Redington.

Jo said she knew of a Kenworth Fat Boy King Cab and a company that could help out, as long as Jocelyn didn’t mind the truck turning up after lunch, as it would be working in the morning.

“Luckily after four years of me working for you, you’re used to my big heart when it comes to volunteering Northchill to do stuff to help out the local kids, eh Graham, so you shouldn’t get a shock or any more grey hairs after reading this, ha ha!” Jo commented on Jocelyn’s post.

Graham quickly responded, saying Jo knew how he rolled, and she was more than welcome to take the truck along.

“We don’t want any money for it, we’re only too glad to help,” he said.

Jocelyn was stunned, and said she couldn’t wait to see the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ THE TRUCKS OF NEW ZEALAND POST

Just the Guy for it By the late 1920s the Post & Telegraph fleet had expanded rapidly to some 580 vehicles, 430 of which were trucks and vans, the rest cars and motorcycles. The need to use trucks to support the growing telegraph and telephone network was well established by this time. Photographs of the period show telegraph poles supporting numerous copper telegraph wires.

Showing evidence of a few dings, this 30 CWT Guy entered service in Auckland in April 1930. Fitted with a 20hp 4-cylinder engine the cab is typical of the locally produced ones of the time. Fuel to the engine would have been supplied by gravity from the fuel tank below the front window. The design of the wheels is interesting and appears to be a mix of disc and demountable rims. The effectiveness of the headlights is questionable, given where they are mounted.

Likewise the effectiveness of the ‘doors’.

WOMEN IN TRANSPORT

An adventure to be had...always Story by Faye Lougher • Photos supplied by Jill Barker

Jill Barker never thought she’d end up driving trucks, but after meeting her truck-mad kiwi partner Chris Hockley in England in 1997, that changed. Moving from a software sales role to trucking was quite the career change!

C

hris was working at theatre transport company G. H. Lucking & Sons and the couple met through a friend at the Penguin Hockey Club in Worthing, where Chris played. Although she regularly drove horse trucks, Jill didn’t have a rigid truck licence.

“The laws have changed since, but at the time I was allowed to drive up to a 7.5 ton truck on my car licence. Chris encouraged me over time to train and take the test so we could drive together as a team, but in the end, he much preferred his own space and it wasn’t going to be my forte either!”

Jill says she found taking the rigid truck test quite easy, however when it came to the artic, reversing was another matter entirely. The trainer would rug himself up with a huge coat, scarf, gloves, etc when it was time to practice backing.

“Other trainers in the office would ask ‘why are you so rugged up?’ and he said, ‘I’m taking Jill down the aerodrome, it’s going to be a long morning’. He’d start me off straight

and then say ‘okay Jill, just back it – STRAIGHT – back’.

But it wasn’t long before I was zig-zagging, and by the time we got down the end he’d say ‘righto, let’s start again, don’t fiddle with the steering wheel, STRAIGHT back. I guess this is something a driver takes to like a duck to water, or, not so much!”

UK-born Jill had been a talented equestrian endurance rider who represented her country. She took on the role of postie for Royal Mail, driving her red postie van around the countryside with daily deliveries. This role, starting at 4am, allowed her time later in the day to train her horse. She also worked hard to be sponsored by Royal Mail – planning marketing events for TV, radio and press coverage.

Jill says a reliable horse truck was absolutely vital as she travelled thousands of miles around the UK and Europe, to events a couple of times a month.

“My first was a TK Bedford which was so heavy (non-power steering) I had to stand up to turn the steering wheel when parking and manoeuvring. I then graduated to a Ford Cargo that was half accommodation, shower, kitchen, toilet the lot, and half equestrian for my precious cargo. We both loved this truck, it was much lighter to drive (power steering) and a comfortable ride for my horse. It was painted Royal Mail red with the logo and ‘sponsored by’ on the side. One driver at a motorway service station was heard to remark, ‘Don’t know why they don’t just stick a stamp on and mail it!’ I loved being part of the trucking fraternity, although in a different field, and my desire to drive full time started there. I would whizz past the speed-limited (90kms/h) artics on the downhill, but they would kindly let me back in line when I was struggling up the next one.”

You only get about 29,000 days on average. Jill Barker’s making the most of every one.

Jill says together with her horse Ibn (Arabic for ‘son of ’) Silver Blue (Willoughby, known as Wills), she did achieve her ambition to ride for Great Britain, but shortly after Wills injured a leg while out in the paddock and her plans had to be put on the back burner for a while.

“During this time I met Chris. I now had the time to go away with him for weekends in his truck. Sometimes, when plans changed and he wasn’t returning to base, this involved being dropped on the Sunday night miles from home and having to find my way back via public transport!”

Jill’s stories about life on the road with Chris make for entertaining reading, especially her interactions with foreign law enforcement. The pair later worked for a company moving music productions around UK and Europe.

“We were in Naples, doing an ‘out’. I left the venue before the other trucks and turned right instead of left and then got completely lost. I pulled in and the next thing a policeman comes up and points a gun at me. He can’t speak a word of English, I can’t speak a word of Italian, and I thought ‘I am in big, big trouble now!’ It was a real sticky situation trying to explain who I was and what I was doing. I eventually realised I was going the wrong way, so he let me turn around and go back.”

Jill found humour in most situations, including being pulled over by the Gendarme while driving through France.

“It was my turn to drive and lucky ol’ me was the one to be pulled over. I’m sitting in the driver’s seat, looking in the wing mirror as he moves down the length of the truck, checking it out, looking for something to fine us with. He’s wearing a uniform, as they do, of tight jodhpurs and high leather boots, striding towards me with an authoritative air. I found this to be like something out of 50 Shades of Grey!”

Jill says she personally found the theatre work more enjoyable than general freight work.

“When you’re moving the general freight, it was “‘ere Love, put it ‘ere!” I never had a name, I was Love, Honey, Darlin’, never Jill. I loved theatre work, I had so much more respect, it was clean, fun, and women are accepted as part of the team. There are many different types of trucking, but in my experience, in general freight, I found the attitude was ‘if it’s a woman, let’s make it really difficult for her’ – and [non-truckdriving] women were the worst. I was in some really difficult situations and the women would go, “get out of the way, what are you doing?” I thought there would be some sisterhood, but apparently not.”

However Jill did find a lot of help, often from unexpected quarters.

“I stopped once on the outside lane of a large roundabout in Leicester as I didn’t know where I was meant to be going A little face popped up at the passenger window, and this bloke,

Life on the road doing the theatre and show work was a favourite of Jill’s, much better than general freight.

standing on the bottom step, said, ‘are you lost?’ I said ‘I have NO idea where I am going, I’m tired, lost and fed up’. It turned out he was a trucker, and he said he could tell I needed help by the way I’d just stopped. He jumped in the cab and directed me to where I needed to go, then got a taxi back to where he’d started! A top bloke!”

Jill says that being a female in a male-dominated industry meant toilets were an area she sussed out early on.

“I was making do with the gents most of the time as that seemed to be all that was available. However, I quickly learnt to look around the site for a female and she will have in her possession a key to the ‘ladies’. And what a difference it makes too, nice and clean, tissues, soap, and a clean fluffy towel.”

When the couple were not two-up, Jill says she liked the theatre and music work and found the companies liked her style.

“They would rather have me who took my time reversing, but who is careful with the truck and good with clients.”

THE COUPLE had teamed up with the aim of gaining driving work together, but found they were being sent on different tours, and their working styles weren’t always compatible.

Jill liked being on the road, meeting people, seeing how different industries work, thinking through quicker/better ways to do the job, etc, while Chris had a more suitable disposition and learned to wait patiently for instructions from the controller/office, realising there could be other factors that the driver was not aware of. Chris also liked to keep his truck clean

56

and tidy, and Jill’s penchant for shelling monkey nuts to keep alert during the night tested his patience.

Driving together, particularly in Europe, gave Jill time and plenty of material to explore her other passion, writing about their experiences.

“If we had time, it was good fun to see as much as possible of Europe and meet the locals. Being a tad limited in the language department, we found so many locals have helped us in our search for delivery points by hand gestures, mud maps and leading us to our destination on their scooters or cars.”

After being together for nine years, the couple decided to go on a six-month trip to see where they wanted to live, spending time travelling around Australia, New Zealand, and the west coast of Canada, before eventually settling in Perth, WA. Jill now works full time in real estate sales in Perth, WA, which keeps her back at base in an almost 24/7 role, while Chris is away driving the road trains. As he is often away several weeks at a time, they lock in time to travel the outback together, their all-time favourite thing to do. ….next month. Chris’s side of the story.

The McDonough Contracting Gore Truck Show 2018 Story and photos by David Kinch

The start of winter means one thing in the deep south – truck show time!

W

ith music in the streets and the smell of diesel in the air, the small town of Gore comes alive at the start of winter every year, enticing visitors from near and far.

Truck show organiser Rhonda Wilson advertised the show extensively, including on social media, but holding a show while gypsy week is in full swing is an uphill battle, and that may have been reflected in a slightly reduced attendance.

Trucks started arriving early at the Transport Repairs yard and continued to do so until mid-morning, which kept the judges busy. With the temperature still registering -1C at 11am, the foot traffic was on the light side.

Companies like Road Transport Logistics Ltd (Beckers Transport, Buchanan Transport, Clinton Waipahi Holdings, Tuapeka Transport, and West Otago Transport), McLellan Freight, and Caldwell Contracting were among those who made a big effort to get along and support the show.

Before making their way to Traffers Tavern for the prizegiving the trucks paraded through the main street, mixing with the Gold Guitar Awards performers who were entertaining the public. 

The Scania R560 heads a new high productivity PBS milk tanker B-double that keeps a Tasmanian operator ahead of the game.

T

here’s an upbeat camaraderie at Hingston Transport that you’d be hard-pressed to find in the depot of a stock-market-floated mega-fleet. The Scania R560 PBS B-double’s operator, Craig Bonde, sums up the mood when he tells us, “It’s a bit like a bunch of mates working hard together”.

“All the trucks have little motifs that reflect each driver’s characteristics and passions,” Craig explained. “The motif on this truck symbolises the night shift driver’s love of football, and his team North Melbourne. Then we have the dairy cow dressed in the football jersey for the milk we carry for Pura Milk, hence the carton it’s leaning on. Its these little things that Kerry does that make us all feel part of a big family.”

The Whitemore-based operation in the Meander Valley of Northern Tasmania isn’t the sort of firm where huddled, hi-viswearing drivers who have an opinion on everything complain endlessly about rumours generated by colleagues who know not (nor care not) what they’re driving or why they’re there.

“My men are all truck people; they’re all dyed-in-the-wool truck enthusiasts,” owner Kerry Hingston says. “I have to say, rather proudly, I’m very lucky with each and every one of the men who works here. It’s a tightly-knit bunch of blokes who share a common interest in the job they do.”

In fact, so positive is the mood, Kerry reckons it’s also noticeable from the outside. “My men never have a problem and the customers love ’em!’ he adds.

The business traces its roots back to Kerry’s father, Viv, who carted livestock with a Desoto tray truck back in 1947. Yet it wasn’t till the early seventies when a young Kerry purchased a secondhand log truck that European marques entered the fleet.

The last axle on the tri-set steers.

So impressed were they with the performance and reliability of that secondhand Scania LB80 – along with the service they received from the local dealer – that Scania trucks became the backbone of their operation.

Their business takes them as far south as Hobart, and their diversification and growth into all areas of the agricultural industry is attributed to service, and their willingness to push the boundaries through innovative transport solutions, like the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

new Scania R560 and PBS B-double trailers.

Kerry admits he is content with growth from a one-truck owner-driver operation to where they are today, something about as big as you’d want to run on your own.

“The step up from here would be a corporate office with a transport operations desk and admin staff. That’s not really what I’m about, so on numbers alone, we’re probably where we want to be, but you can never say never,” he says.

Pump and hose equipment service either side of the tanker.

THE LATEST Scania B-double combination in their fleet draws on the benefits of performance based standards (PBS) to increase productivity and efficiencies, not just for Hingston, but also the dairy industry in Tasmania.

Kerry had no hesitation speccing a Scania R560 to head up the new innovative PBS milk tanker B-double; after all, Scania trucks have more than proven their reliability with the company for over four decades.

Strict PBS criteria on the overall combination length and wheelbase dimensions meant Scania had to tailor a shorter wheelbase version of the R560, from the standard 3553mm wheelbase to 2900mm.

In addition, the 2 x 12-volt batteries are discreetly mounted at the rear of the R560 chassis to allow for greater fuel carrying capacity. This gives the R560 plenty of range with a total of 1030 litres of diesel fuel, with a 710-litre fuel tank on the lefthand side of the chassis and a 320-litre fuel tank on the righthand side next to a 75-litre DEF tank.

The compact dimensions of the R560 means the combination enjoys general access with increased payload advantages. Scania is one of the few manufacturers that can deliver such a short wheelbase vehicle with high power outputs capable of comfortably pulling a fully loaded B-double. That in part is thanks to the 15.6-litre V8 engine. Because the overall length of the V8 is much shorter than a traditional inline 6-cylinder, Scania has the ability to tighten up the wheelbase to suit unique applications, such as PBS requirements like these.

Along with the unique features of the Scania, the Tieman Tankers are purpose-built to suit the application. In order to meet the PBS requirements, the rear axle on the trigroup is steerable, which greatly improves the combination’s manoeuvrability on farm pickups and through the narrow suburban streets of Hobart.

The BPW axle is self-steering, which means that Craig doesn’t need to do anything to make the axle steer, he just drives the Scania as he normally would.

“Because the axle is self-steering, when I turn it into a corner the trailer follows the prime mover more naturally,” Craig explained. “It will steer itself according to the road, load and cornering forces being encountered. So now we have gone from rather widespread footprint of a traditional tri-axle group to a far smaller tandem group with the steer axle at the rear. This design tends not to chop up the gravel hard stands in farms or driveways.

64

New Zealand Trucking

September 2018

“The self-steering axle is self-centring too which means its straight-line towing is similar to a traditional tri-axle trailer,” Craig says. “The steer axle is automatically locked once they reach 30kph and the lock releases once the road speed falls under 25kph. Reversing the unit is also quite simple, the same as reversing a traditional B-double, because there is a solenoid fitted to lock the axle in the straight-ahead position when the unit is put in reverse,” Craig adds. “As an additional measure, there is a manual override switch so I can manually lock the axle in the straight-ahead position if conditions are extremely slippery, such as when it’s snowing.”

Like the Scania R560 the Tieman milk tanker B-double boasts some high-tech features as well, including a revolutionary pumping package and the inclusion of the BPW Trailer Electronic Braking System which offers the Roll Stability Program that talks to the Scania R560 safety systems.

The Tieman pumping pack and hydraulic hose reel can be remotely moved to either side of the truck, which makes life far easier for drivers when the entrance to some milking vats demands such flexibility. As the pumping gear has now been placed further forward on the tanker, Tieman has been able to vastly improve their pumping equipment’s flow rate.

Craig has the enviable task of piloting the Scania R560 and reckons when he first started driving an older Scania R560 a few years ago he felt a bit guilty getting paid to drive it because of how easy and comfortable it was to operate.

CRAIG’S LIVED in the northwest of Tasmania all his life and has been picking up milk for the past decade and a half.

He cites the smooth comfortable ride, storage in the cabin, along with the power of the Scania and its road handling, as some of the best attributes from a driver’s point of view.

“The visibility out of this Scania is really terrific,” Craig says. “The air-suspension is really smooth too, and the way the cabin is sprung means I don’t get any nasty jolts; it is a truly remarkable ride.”

Like many in the industry, Kerry says that keeping afloat has to be the number one priority, and adds that moving forward with the times and new technology is the key.

“Our drivers are the most important part of our operation,” Kerry says. “Without their skills and dedication, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Providing them with a safe and comfortable vehicle like the Scania just makes their daily life a little easier out on the job.” 

Double Dutch Story and photos by Brian Weatherley

To celebrate DAF’s 90th anniversary, New Zealand Trucking magazine was given a classic heritage 3300 hauler, and their latest 21st Century ‘New XF’ counterpart to drive. Is nostalgia still what it used to be?

T

here’s nothing quite like a dose of the ‘here and now’ to abrade the rosy-glow of yesteryear. Yet when DAF Trucks UK recently invited us to Scotland to drive its latest 395kW (530hp) ‘New’ XF and an immaculately restored 3300 Space Cab, I instantly succumbed to mistyeyed reverie and agreed. I’ve always thought DAF made ‘friendly’ trucks (a view I’ve kept with each new model), and was all for getting behind the wheel of a 3300 again. Only, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

When it was launched in early 1982 the 3300 signalled a major fight-back by DAF against the Swedes and Germans in the European premium tractor market. At the time its 11.6litre DKX diesel offered an impressive 246kW (330hp) and 1310Nm (966lb/ft) of torque – with over 1085Nm (800lb/ft) available between 1000-1800rpm. For 3300 drivers that meant better driveability than with the DKS and DKSE diesels they’d been used to in the old 2800. Meanwhile, behind the DKX was ZF’s trusty 16-speed Ecosplit synchro manual, a box that anyone could handle, though early versions could have fairly high shift-loads when cold.

Not one to stand still, within three years DAF had added the iconic Space Cab high roof option with 25cm more headroom

to its 241 cab, and all new ATi (short for Advanced Turbo Intercooling) engines with more power and torque. In the case of the 3300, its DKS engine now delivered 264kW (354hp), while the newly introduced range-topping 3600 tractor boasted a whopping (278kW) 373hp. Between them, ATi and Space Cab ushered in a new era of driver comfort and fuel economy for DAF, and throughout the eighties, 3600, 3300 and 2800 ATi tractors proved extremely popular with UK hauliers and drivers alike, even after the replacement 95 Series arrived in 1987.

Now fast-forward to 2018 where ‘New XF’ represents the culmination of a 31-year journey of constant product improvement. During that time DAF has stretched the original 95 Series cab and made it successively more aerodynamic on the outside. It’s added the Super Space Cab high roof option and delivered numerous interior makeovers too, with the ‘Exclusive Line’ luxury trim package being its latest word in driver pampering. Under the cab there have been no less than three different engine ranges, climaxing with the current Euro6 MX-13 rated up to 530hp. Those XF buyers looking for maximum payloads can spec the lighter MX-11 at 450hp.

Those MX engines, together with ZF’s all-new TraXon 12-speed auto and DAF’s own highly efficient drive axles comprise a powertrain that’s already delivering on the Dutch manufacturer’s New XF launch promise of 7% better fuel economy. Now throw in improved ride and handling, and for a truck that began life three decades ago, it’s morphed into a true 21st Century tractor. Moreover, the New XF continues to rattle the Swedes on driver appeal.

But let’s be honest, putting it up against a 3300 was always going to be a mismatch. Yet despite their age gap, both had to cope with the same test route of single carriageway roads in the Scottish borders south of Glasgow. And while lightly trafficked, there were still plenty of narrow bits, tight turns,

There’s definitely a great-grandson, ‘gummy’ great-grand-dad look about it.

nasty jump-ups and the odd tourist coach and local log truck coming our way. Not exactly unfamiliar territory to New Zealand Trucking readers.

However, first we needed to take a quick 20-minute jog down the M74 – the main West Coast northbound route into Scotland. Running in convoy with the 3300 up front provided a good opportunity to experience New XF’s standard adaptive cruise control (ACC). On long motorway drags it takes all the hassle out of setting and resetting cruise control when you’re blocked by slower-moving HGVs (like a 354hp DAF 3300!).

When its radar detects a ‘sluggard’ up ahead, if you can’t overtake them, ACC backs off the throttle in order to maintain your pre-set distance with the vehicle in front.

If you need to slow down more, ACC next dials in the threestage MX engine brake and applies the service brakes. Should you really have to decelerate quickly, Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS) then steps in. And once the truck in front speeds up again, so do you, automatically.

ACC also combines seamlessly with New XF’s normal downhill speed control, so on long descents it will hold back your maximum speed to a pre-set limit, again making full use of DAF’s engine brake, automatically prompting TraXon to change down to get maximum back-pressure. The result is relaxed foot-off cruise control up hill and down dale.

It’s clearly light-years away from the 3300 where cruise control is your right foot and ‘secondary retardation’ is a heeloperated exhaust brake working a simple butterfly valve in the downpipe. To get it working you need to get the engine revs up – the yellow shaded area in the 3300’s centrally mounted rev counter helpfully shows where they should be. In practice, it works OK…‘ish’. But it did remind us of how far engine braking has come since the 3300 first appeared. We were somewhat glad our 3300 wasn’t running at its original 38 tonne plated weight. With a dummy load roped and sheeted on its

old 40-footer trailer, and with five-tonnes over the pin to settle down the ride of the steel-suspended tractor, it was probably grossing closer to 15 tonnes – but then old timers deserve an easy retirement.

It’s a while since we’ve needed our left foot in a top-weight tractor, but a 16-speed Ecosplit synchro box is like riding a bicycle – you never forget how to use it. The trick is to block shift in low range, then use the clutch-triggered splitter to finetune things in high, especially on hills. So typically, you start in 2L, then skip to 4L, hop across the ‘double H’ gate with a flick of the wrist into 5L high-range, then climb up using the splitter or full shifts. For more severe starts 1L to 3L does the same thing, but either way, unlike the two-pedal TraXon in New XF, gear changing in the 3300 is definitely ‘manual’ work.

After two hours of shoving the long lever back and forth we knew we’d been doing it. Curiously, I’d also fallen back into the old (bad) habit of resting my left hand on the gear lever, ready for the next shift. It’s all a far cry from the New XF where, with TraXon handling all gear changes, you spend far less time ‘physically’ driving the truck, and more on monitoring and confirming what you’ve asked it to do for you, resulting in a calmer, less tiring trip.

One thing you certainly can’t miss is the 3300’s in-cab noise.

Even when its 530hp MX-13 engine is pulling strongly right down to 1,000rpm it’s whisperingly muted inside the New XF cabin. Shove your foot down hard on the throttle in the 3300, however, and the ATi engine’s growl echoes throughout the cab. It’s a similar ‘things have definitely moved on’ story with the 3300’s steering (not bad, but not great), and general ride, though to be fair a lightly-laden steel-sprung tractor was always going to be lively.

Ergonomically, the New XF’s curving cockpit and well laidout dash puts everything within perfect reach. In the 3300 it’s a stretch to reach the crude slider controls for the heating

and ventilation in the flat, utilitarian (there’s no other word for it) dashboard. The same goes for the old-fashioned park brake mounted on the engine hump to the left and rear of the driver’s seat. And three decades makes a hell of a difference in trim quality and seat comfort. With the 3300 you have to fit yourself to the truck, especially with no adjustment on the steering column. In the New XF the truck fits you.

The sheer ‘bareness’ of the Space Cab comes as a surprise too. While it’s got plenty of room, apart from a couple of open-cupboards on the front wall there’s very little enclosed storage space (and no external lockers for wet gear). Compare that with the New XF and there’s more than you can shake a stick at, including the big pullout drawer and fridge under the bed, plus big lockable cupboards in the headlining and various trays, pockets and holders in the dash. There are twin external lockers too. Indeed, the New XF cab continues to set the standard for the best use of internal space in a top-weight tractor.

So after nearly three hours driving the 3300 Space Cab were we left hankering for a return to the good old days? Nostalgia has its place in road transport but if the choice is between a 3300 and a New XF, give me progress every time. What’s perhaps ironic is how far we thought the industry had come when the 3300 Space Cab first appeared. But things have definitely moved on. Is the 3300 still a friendly truck? For the occasional heritage run, undoubtedly yes (and fun too). But for a week-long slog around Europe, I’ll stick with my new (XF) friend. 

DAF’s 3300 heritage hauler was originally built as a RHD export model for Hong Kong in 1990 – long after mainstream 3300 production ended at its Eindhoven plant. However, it subsequently ended up as one of four trucks registered by the Irish Army in 1993. Of that quartet one was written-off quite early, while two are currently being restored in Ireland. New Zealand Trucking magazine’s mount was brought back to life by Scottish main dealer Lothian DAF and is unusual in having a hub reduction drive axle instead of the usual single reduction unit, and an overdrive Ecosplit box. It’s also got just 94,000km on the clock. Otherwise, it’s pure 3300 Space Cab, lovingly restored over nine months by Lothian DAF’s workshop team and David Philp Commercials, who did all the work on the cab and the terrific paint job.

LIGHT COMMERCIAL TEST

Self-stirring load-hauler Ford’s Transit Custom goes auto Story and photos by Jacqui Madelin

For many, Ford’s Transit has long personified the image of a traditional white van, and no wonder; first launched in 1965, it’s sold over eight million worldwide. However, in an increasingly fragmented market Ford can’t sit on its laurels, hence a few recent changes.

W

hen Ford New Zealand announced the arrival of an auto for the Transit Custom early last year, Transit sat third in its sector, trounced

by Toyota and Hyundai. Motor Industry Association figures showed Transit’s 2016 sales in the Custom’s weight bracket at 716, compared with Toyota’s Hiace at 2123 and Hyundai’s iLoad at 1009; a respectable third, and well ahead of the rest.

But that auto was overdue. Van cabins – and the drive experience – more closely resemble cars as they get easier to drive, and the Kiwi fleet is weighted more heavily to auto

transmissions. The fact the Transit was available here in manual transmission only was a bit of a liability.

So it was good news last year, when the auto variant finally arrived for sale in the last quarter of 2017. Despite the fact it was only available for three months, model sales rose to 13.6% segment share and 832 for 2017, and it didn’t take long for Ford to drop the manual version off its listing.

Clearly that was a good move. Transit sold 527 in the first six months of 2018 for 18.7% share, and it’s now segment-second behind Toyota, and ahead of Hyundai. Score, and no wonder the brand has gone all auto for Tourneo Custom too and, later this year, for Transit Cargo.

We figured it was time to give it a try, in short wheelbase Custom format.

This transmission now drives the front wheels. The new 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine claimed to cut fuel use by 13% without compromising on grunt thanks to a low inertia turbo, part of a global engineering trend towards power plants that drink less fuel and emit fewer noxious emissions while still delivering acceptable urge.

The pairing works well; torque is on hand from low down the rev range, the transmission slurs effectively through shifts, the pair feel under-stressed at any legal speed and, though we certainly noticed when the load arrived, seat-of-the pants performance barely alters. Any car driver could hop in and feel right at home, apart from the height of that seat.

Desk folds from middle seat: very useful.

Ford passenger car owners will recognise the general dash and instrument layout and the design flavour, while a number of features will be familiar to anyone driving a modern passenger car. Obviously there’s a reversing camera and park sensors front and rear, plus cruise control, hill launch assist, stability and traction control – and six airbags, two for the front, two side and two head bags: Transit Custom has a 5 star safety rating. Ford SYNC with voice activation and Bluetooth means you can order up and dial calls hands-free – yes, you can also auto download your phonebook. The latest Transit Custom arrivals have upgraded the screen to a larger, 8” model, and as well as voice commands you can swipe or pinch, like you do on a tablet, plus there’s Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, along with a small price alignment – the Transit range now starts at $54,990, not $51,990 as before.

Otherwise the long list includes the likes of fog lights, heated powered mirrors, variable intermittent wipers, an integrated roof rack which can carry 130kg, air con, a 12V charge point in the dash, the driver stowage bin and the cargo area, and a glovebox which claims to hold hanging A4 files – we had none on hand to try.

Van-specific cabin spec adds rollover mitigation to the clever electronics to keep the Transit Custom stable if you have to swerve to avoid something, and load adaptive control, which

calculates your load and adapts the electronic safety systems to suit. Also van-specific, three seats up front in place of a passenger car’s two, and a fold-down section in the middle seat that forms a desk, and holds two cup holders, and an elastic strap for papers. The spec also refers to storage under a front passenger seat, which we failed to explore further when the van was in our custody…

As for the cargo area, that’s truly capacious. Our IRB on its pallet looked a little lost on its own in there. The only restriction we found was the lift-up tailgate, which obstructed forklift access and required fork extensions to get our load on board. If this may be of concern, look at a Transit version with side-opening rear doors.

That black vinyl floor covering is standard, and aimed at easy cleaning. We found it also eased loading and unloading as even our IRB with its 500kg load of bricks could slide if necessary, though that did mean greater care was needed when tying down via the provided cargo loops to stop it sliding during starting and stopping manoeuvres.

Our test vehicle came standard, but there’s a long list of available accessories, starting with 16” or 18” alloy wheels, allweather front floor mats, a rear door ladder kit and a tow pack.

Naturally, Transit isn’t perfect. Any solid-sided van includes blind spots, and this Custom is no different. We had no

Even this SWB Transit Custom has enough cargo space to dwarf our IRB on its pallet.

Side-opening doors would make forklift pallet loading a load easier.

FUEL FOR THOUGHT

Getting moving

By Russell Walsh Russell was employed by the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA) for two years from 2014 and was involved with their Heavy Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Programme.

K

nowing how the diesel engine turns fuel into energy we can use is the first step to understanding what influences fuel use; now we must understand what this means As the piston moves down the cylinder under the pressure created when the fuel is burnt – the power stroke – it transmits a force through a connecting rod to a crankshaft, which is turned. This turning or twisting effect is called torque. Torque is what allows the truck to move away from a standstill or climb a hill. Once up and moving, less torque is required and horsepower comes into play. Horsepower is the measurement of power – the work – the engine can do. Generally, the more horsepower you have, the faster you can go and the greater the weight you can move.

Torque, measured in Newton metres (Nm), and horsepower measured in Kilowatts (kW), are a product of the energy that is released when fuel is burnt. Only about 40% of the energy potential in the burnt fuel is used to move the vehicle, the rest is converted into heat, removed by the cooling system or lost through the exhaust. Fuel use then is related to torque, horsepower, and the speed of the engine. The faster an engine turns over the more fuel it will use. Once started, it is in theory possible for a diesel engine to continually increase in rpm until it self-destructs unless something is done to restrict the amount of fuel, or control the volume of air, getting into the engine; this is done by fitting a device to the engine to control the maximum rpm it can do. Nowadays this is done electronically but it used to be done by a fitting a simple mechanical engine speed governor.

Vehicle manufacturers produce performance charts for the engines. The example above shows the relationship between engine torque, horsepower and fuel use. Peak torque is produced at lower engine rpm, 1100 to 1400 in this case.

As engine rpm increases torque tends to drop off and power

climbs to its peak. Optimum fuel consumption is achieved at around 1,400 rpm when the engine is producing about 350 horsepower and peak torque is about to decline. The shaded section of this chart would normally correspond to the green band on the vehicle tachometer.

Vehicle and engine manufacturers have long recognised the relationship of engine speed and fuel use, and are constantly looking for ways to reduce engine speed while keeping the engine operation flexible enough to deliver its potential. In the past 25 years improved metal science, the evolution of high pressure and electronic fuel injection, advancements in turbo charging, and improvements in the composition of the fuel itself, have resulted in efficient operating ranges on engines reducing significantly.

Understanding how and why an engine uses fuel is basic knowledge, but ultimately the greatest influencer of how much the driver influences fuel use. 

LEGAL LINES

Costs in criminal cases L ast month I discussed the factors that a court will consider when deciding whether it is appropriate to award costs to a person who successfully defends a criminal prosecution. If you concluded that applying for costs was no easy task, then my work is done. For those of you who are still enthusiastic, please read on! It is certainly not my intention to discourage people from applying for costs when they are entitled to them, but sometimes the disadvantages can outweigh the benefits. If sticking up for yourself as a matter of principle is your main focus, then that is an entirely different matter and you should be applauded.

However, costs applications are a good example of court proceedings that you need to go into with your eyes wide open because otherwise you may find that you have bitten off more than you can chew.

Why don’t more people ask for costs?

Another distinction between the two jurisdictions is that the burden of proof in criminal cases is beyond a reasonable doubt whereas in civil suits the plaintiff must prove his case on a balance of probabilities, which is to a lesser standard. It must also be remembered that a finding of not guilty or an acquittal is a consequence of the prosecution being unable to prove the elements of the particular charge to the requisite standard rather than a finding of innocence.

Therefore, it would seem that the rationale for restricting the award of costs in criminal cases can be traced back to the concern that the police might be inhibited from bringing a prosecution, which ought to be brought in the public interest, for fear of an adverse inference being drawn from an award of costs to an acquitted person.

…how often have you actually heard of people being awarded costs in criminal cases when they win, let alone when they lose? The reality is that it is quite a rare occurrence.

The Costs in Criminal Cases Act 1967 (‘the Act’) specifies that there is no presumption for or against granting costs and the court will give each party an opportunity to make submissions or call evidence to address the question of costs. It is insufficient to ask for costs simply because you successfully defended a prosecution, but equally you will not be refused costs by reason only of the fact that the proceedings were properly brought and continued. In special circumstances where the prosecution involved a difficult or important point of law, if the court thinks it is proper, they may even award costs to a defendant for having to argue a point of law even if he or she is convicted.

This is all well and good but what does this actually mean and how often have you actually heard of people being awarded costs in criminal cases when they win, let alone when they lose?

The reality is that it is quite a rare occurrence. One reason for this is that criminal cases are treated very differently from civil cases, where costs ordinarily follow. The reason for this is put quite succinctly by Lord Justice Devlin in Berry v British Transport Commission [1962] 1 QB 306, 324:

IN CONCLUSION, in the absence of any recklessness, bad faith or malice established on the part of the prosecuting authority, it will often be difficult to obtain an award of costs in a criminal case. One case which demonstrates this is Solicitor-General v Moore (1999) 17 CRNZ 671. In this judgment the court held that an award of costs was inappropriate despite the trial judge having identified “negligent” aspects of the police investigation and “grossly inadequate” police preparation for the trial. The Court of Appeal even noted that: “…while there were serious blunders in investigating and preparing the case, they disadvantaged the prosecution more than the defence.”

If you are able to persuade a judge that you should be awarded costs then you are halfway there. Now comes the important part, namely justifying how much you should be paid, and this is the topic I will be focusing on next month. 

Please note that this article is not a

BETTER BUSINESS

New phone system works via an app on your mobile phone

L

eading New Zealand trucking and transportation company, the Stan Semenoff Group, has implemented next-generation business phones to connect the backoffice team with distribution hubs and drivers on the

road.

Spoke Phone replaces traditional business telephone systems with a simple app you install on your mobile phone. There is no need for wires, hardware, or any complicated setup and maintenance. All you now need for a complete business phone system are mobile phones on any carrier/network.

The small company started by Stan Semenoff in the late 1960s as an agricultural contracting, sand processing and supply business has grown into the Stan Semenoff Group, employing more than 150 people across three different transportation businesses, a logistics/bulk warehouse and several quarries.

Managing director Stan contributes the company’s success to the many skilled and dedicated employees who have been helping to grow the company over the years.

Now in their 50th year, the Stan Semenoff Group is still looking to improve and grow, constantly looking to adopt new technologies and practices that keep their company and their employees moving forward.

Over the years Stan and the company have seen and overcome many challenges. However, one challenge has remained constant – the importance of communication with the team.

Trucking and logistics is a real-time business where people work 24/7, and problems typically mean changing schedules, driving routes, and plans. Communication is key.

From the head office in Whangarei, logistics teams need to easily communicate with people in remote hubs, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and the drivers on the road.

By the very nature of the business, many people in the company are not sitting at desks. They are walking around plants, inspecting machinery, and getting the job done. A phone on the desk is just not going to work.

In some of the locations, such as the sand and aggregate plants, it’s either not possible or too expensive to get a traditional business phone system installed.

With 70-plus trucks and scores of drivers who are the lifeblood of the business, contacting drivers on the road is a technical and organisational challenge. The drivers are often out of data coverage, so a business phone system that relies on wires or only works on VoIP is not going to work.

When things go wrong, people need to be able to reach each other easily, or problems take longer to solve. In the transportation and logistics business, speed is key to keep the company rolling – literally.

To easily call each other, employees would need to enter other employee phone numbers on their phones, a timeconsuming task.

If a customer calls and needs to talk to a driver or a plant manager out on site, there was no way to transfer them, and no way to let the employee know who was calling them and what the call was about.

Spoke Phone has been built for companies exactly like the

78

Stan Semenoff Group. Companies that have some people in the back office, and some out in the field. Moreover, Spoke was built to accommodate the harsh environments that employees of the Stan Semenoff Group find themselves operating in.

Some employees sit in offices and have good Wi-Fi or 4G data, and some have no access to Wi-Fi or good cellular data, yet they still need to be part of the communications system.

Spoke is unique in that it works in two modes to provide high quality calls to employees in every environment.

There is HD calling (VoIP) for when you’ve got great Wi-Fi or 4G data, and Carrier calling mode that uses your carrier’s voice network for when your data signal is not so good.

Spoke’s ability to work in both VoIP and cellular calling modes is key in solving the remote communication problems faced by the business.

Sometimes the simplest things make biggest differences.

Spoke’s employee directory allows employees to call each other with a tap, making getting hold of people when you need them easy and quick. When customers call in you are able to easily transfer them to other employees, and provide callers with a great experience – even if you’re on your mobile phone.

Before you transfer the call you can see which employees are available to talk (they have a green light beside their name). You can put the caller on hold while you have a private chat with your teammate to bring them up to speed before connecting them with the caller. You can connect the caller and leave, or stay on the line and have a three-way conversation.

This one feature solves a number of issues that were previously impossible to do once calls were forwarded to your mobile phone.

The Stan Semenoff Group replaced their old PBX phone system, hardware, and wires with Spoke Phone, and are now making significant savings on a monthly basis. They got to keep their old numbers, and the entire project took fewer than five days from trial to going live.

“Spoke has won us over with its easy setup process, no longterm contract option, both office and mobile connectivity options, New Zealand-based friendly staff and support, and last but not least, the financial savings we were able to make compared with our last phone setup,” said company accountant Carlo Lang. 

NZ TRUCKING ASSOCIATION

Thirty years of influence, and inspiring success Story by Faye Lougher

Since 1988 the New Zealand Trucking Association Incorporated (NZ Trucking Association) has been actively representing and supporting trucking related businesses.

Members range from small owner-operator businesses through to large corporates. This year the association celebrates its 30th anniversary.

“O

ur role is to influence and inspire our members to succeed in both business and in their engagement with the wider community,” says CEO Dave Boyce. “As a not for profit organisation, the NZ Trucking Association promotes, supports and encourages our members to operate sustainable, ethical and profitable businesses.”

The association was originally set up as the Canterbury Owner-Driver Association – known as CODA – under the auspices of the Christchurch RTA (part of the national Road Transport Association).

“There was all sorts of stuff about dependant contracting and there was a threat from the government to make all dependant contractors belong to a union, which was like a red rag to a bull to a lot of us,” says Dave.

The inaugural meeting was held at the Hoon Hay Working Men’s Club in Christchurch on 26 July 1988.

“There were 65 people present at that and they all joined,” says Dave. “We had a couple of guest speakers there, one of whom was Tony Rutherford, who was the chair of the national owner-driver committee at the time.”

As the organisation grew it was decided that a name change to NZ Trucking Association Inc. better reflected its membership as members started joining from all over New Zealand.

The membership has steadily grown to include owner drivers right through to large transport companies and multinational corporations.

The association’s cost modelling is the jewel in the crown.

Dave’s experience comes from years of running a successful tanker business and that knowledge goes into each cost model.

He considers many things that most other cost models don’t include, such as tyre wear, type of truck suitable for the job, and replacement costs etc. New owner-drivers who join the association can have multiple cost models prepared at no cost.

Over the years, cost modelling continues to be a big part of the association’s activities. A cost model is a vital tool for a transport business as it tells them in plain language whether they will be profitable or not. Dave says when the cost model shows that the contract proposal is not profitable, it’s painful to hear, but it’s better to hear it at the beginning before committing to a huge capital investment.

“Because of the calibre of the cost models, it is respected as a document which actually gives a full and detailed picture of the business. The document can be used to secure finance and is a valuable tool to refer to when contracts need to be signed and negotiated, or a vehicle purchase is required for a contract.”

NZ Trucking Association also has group buying schemes and was one of the first associations in New Zealand to secure a fuel deal for its members.

“Over a very short period, our members were getting a better fuel discount than the big companies.”

Dave says the benefit of group buying schemes is that saving money on purchases will increase an operator’s bottom line.

“As a large group we can arrange discounts on fuel, tyres and other essential goods.

“We invite suppliers to join and support the association and encourage them to offer deals and discounts to our members.

We have dedicated a section to this so once you are a member you can log in and enjoy some great deals.

“Business advice is included in your subscription. If we think you need more specialised advice from a lawyer or accountant we can suggest the best person for you to talk to. Depending on what the issue is, we have negotiated some free time with professionals as part of our membership package.”

Over the years the association has gained respect and is now invited to participate in consultation meetings with various organisations and committees.

“This gives us the opportunity to ensure that our members’ requirements are included in the early planning process. We don’t always get our way, but it’s better that we are there representing our members’ interests.”

Dave says there are many benefits to belonging to the NZ Trucking Association.

“As a member, we assist them with ensuring their business is profitable, we assist them with compliance and things like

that, and we provide advice and advocacy. We represent our members on a lot of national and local committees because we all need to have influence to affect decisions that will affect us.

“We are often asked why should I join the NZ Trucking Association? I suppose membership of the association is a bit like an insurance policy in some ways. When a member has got a problem, we drop everything and get in boots and all and help them sort it out. The networks that we have built up over the years enables us to know who to phone.

“I don’t think it’s got easier for owner-drivers, and certainly it’s gone through periods where owner-drivers have had an advantage over waged drivers and certainly it might even be going back that way now, but it’s bloody hard for some of these people to make money,” says Dave.

“It is a hard industry, and certainly the weak don’t survive, but in saying that, there is a lot of camaraderie in the industry as well.

“But certainly, for operators, especially smaller ones, belonging to an organisation like the NZ Trucking Association, gives them a chance to get a bit of strength and support.”

Dave was the founding committee chairman of the association, and also the founding president.

“I’ve been on the executive most of the 30 years,” he says.

“I’m a life member of the association and for my sins I’ve been appointed the CEO as well!”

Based in Christchurch, the NZ Trucking Association has four full-time employees as well as a number of part-time employees.

“I bought my first truck when I was 16 years of age, so I’ve got a lot of knowledge that I can use for the benefit of the members,” says Dave. “Leading the team to develop the association so it appeals to the next generation is a real

challenge, but a rewarding experience so far. Just doing what we have done in the past isn’t going to cut the mustard in a few years. It’s important that we listen to what members want in an association and also continue to invent new ways to communicate, engage and help them grow their businesses.

Changing technology is a constant challenge to keep up with; who would have thought our life would be carried around in a smartphone. We have a great team at the association, a good mix of experience, age and exceptional skills that make us stand out.”

Executive officer Carol McGeady comes from a background in operating her own business, marketing, public relations and events.

“Carol’s role has been to grow the profile of the association, design and implement initiatives around community engagement, social media and negotiate member benefits.

“Rebecca Dinmore joined the association three years ago and is now an executive officer. She has been promoted to take lead roles in organising events such as the Trucking Industry Show and running the Safety MAN Road Safety Truck programmes.

She manages the multiple websites, social media sites and monthly newsletters. Rebecca also looks after the associate suppliers, ensuring they have a great profile and are promoted to the members.

“Holly Burnett started a year ago and has gone from strength to strength. Holly runs the office as well as using her amazing graphic design skills to help Carol and Rebecca develop all the marketing materials and membership communications.”

Dave says the association is proud to be proactive with road safety and industry initiatives.

“Over time we’ve developed the initiatives that you’ve seen by now, like the Safety MAN Road Safety Truck and its Share

The Safety MAN. One of the many success stories in the NZ Trucking Association’s thirty years.

the Road and the Healthy Truck Driver programmes. The Safety MAN was launched in August 2017. This wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of industry sponsors who stepped up and supplied cash or products that were required to fit out the Safety MAN. The programmes were all designed in-house, using simple language, and that’s one of the reasons why they are so successful. The programmes do not lay blame, nor do they tell people how to drive. They simply just show how to share the road safely with big trucks.”

Dave says it became clear that common truck driver health issues could lead to fatigue, which is one of the contributing factors in truck-related crashes and fatalities.

“So the association developed the Heathy Truck Driver programme, as a holistic approach to looking at driver wellbeing. While all the information was readily available for people, it just wasn’t in one place. The video talks about health, diet, mental health and exercise, and also highlights upskilling and driver training. All these things help to keep drivers safe.

This has been well received and is in high demand as transport companies invite the Safety MAN to visit.”

For six months after the Kaikoura earthquake in late 2017, NCTIR contracted the Safety MAN to visit areas along the alternative highway that had become swamped by heavy vehicles.

“There were also a large number of truck roll overs. As part of a study to see how effective the Safety MAN programmes were, Beca Ltd evaluated the programmes and their conclusion was that they were changing behaviour on the road, which was saving lives and serious injuries. This was a great result for the initiative.”

Since then, the NZ Trucking Association has visited with the Australian Trucking Association and is now collaborating to share information and ideas. Both organisations are developing a special programme to target the 16 to 25-year-old drivers.

One of the NZ Trucking Association’s most visible events is the biennial Trucking Industry Show in Christchurch.

“The first truck show we organised was in 2014,” says Dave.

“The show lifted the industry’s profile and achieved exactly what its intention was, which was to celebrate the professional

driver. We were also showing off real working trucks in a professional setting and inviting the trade suppliers in to showcase their products and services.”

Dave says opening the doors up to the public so that they could see another side of the industry was so successful that the 2016 show broke all records and a new location was needed to accommodate the public and the number of show and shine trucks for the 2018 event.

“The TMC Trailers Trucking Industry Show in 2018 saw new events and activities added, which again broke crowd records. Every new truck brand was on display. The trade and careers day, which was held on the Friday before the public open day, saw local high schools attend. Groups were guided around various companies who explained what career prospects there were and what qualifications were needed. The feedback was phenomenal, with schools signing up already for the 2020 show, saying they will be bringing a bigger group of senior students next time. Careers advisors who attended were amazed at how many jobs were in the trucking industry and the potential earnings.”

As part of the show, the TR Group Trucking Relay saw teams of four compete in a competition that showed off the skills and expertise of a truck driver. The winning team from Auckland took away a trip for four to the Brisbane Truck Show 2019.

“The grandstand was full all day, it was great to see so many people enjoy watching what a truck driver does every day.”

The shows have been organised and managed by the association’s small team and each show has seen a large sum of money donated to Ronald McDonald House South Island and Child Cancer Canterbury. The biennial shows are now a premium event in the road transport calendar.

The team at NZ Trucking Association is well supported by an executive board elected by the membership.

“The board helps and guides the association as it continues to grow and regularly volunteers to support the association’s initiatives, including the Safety MAN and Trucking Industry Shows,” says Dave. “The team is looking forward to taking the association on the journey for the next 30 years.” 

Is it safety?

I

sometimes wonder when we will decide it’s all too much, and what started out as a safety initiative actually becomes a hazard. As I drive around the country and look at signage, road cones and barriers, I can’t help but think that at times it is compromising and not adding to safety on our roads.

No one wants to see those working on the roads injured, they must be protected, but at times safety management on roadworks sites puts both road workers and motorists at risk.

One of the most common complaints I hear is about signage and cones on stretches of road with no sign of any activity, often for days.

Legally there is a requirement to comply with site speed limits and so we should, but to drive through an open road site with 50 kph speed restriction only to find nothing justifying the limit causes frustration, and risks a cavalier attitude among the motoring public in regard to speed restricted sites. This is often further exacerbated when there is no further signage at the other end to tell you that you have left the speed restricted area, causing confusion as to whether you can return to open road speed.

Supporting those who choose to make a living in the road transport industry since 1936

A reason once given to me for this situation of signage with no work evident was traffic management setting up prior to works starting early the following day. I would have no issue with if that were the case but I am sure many who use our roads will know that often that is simply not the case. We have all seen sites where work has obviously been completed, but signage not cleared until weeks later. The result is not only the slowing of traffic, but signs tipped over onto the road or cones spread across the carriageway. A case of safety equipment creating a hazard.

Those administering road controls have an obligation to ensure that it is done in a responsible manner and applied only as and when required, and removed as soon as the requirement is no longer there. As I said above, failure to do so makes motorists blasé about the warnings and may lead to failure to heed them when it is imperative they do so.

As for the overkill of cones that seems to be plaguing these sites often causing confusion? I will leave that for another day. 

ROAD TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION

Beware unintended consequences

L

ast month I wrote in this column about moves to deal with the increasing road toll. I reflected on what success looked like in the past, and suggested that we should consider incorporating those positives in the current strategy going forward.

It is always a good thing that governments want to inject money into road safety, and to have a pool of funding set aside that can make a difference.

However, one of the downsides of rushing into these ‘good things’ is that sometimes the very nature of wanting to achieve good outcomes quickly means we end up with some unintended consequences.

Often these come about because the intuitive feel is all good, and we get blindsided by the activity and what it is supposed to achieve. We drop the ball on the downsides in our rush to do a good thing.

One such case in point is the programme launched by the Associate Minister of Transport, Julie Anne Genter, called ‘Safe Roads and Roadsides – Indicative Investment Programme’.

A lot of the money that is available was specifically made available to provide treatments to ‘at risk’ roads where a solution like a wire rope barrier and in some cases Armco barriers could be – and have been – installed in the quest to reduce harm for people running off the road.

This is all good stuff and a positive intervention for road safety. However, some of the RTANZ members in Region Two have been doing some very good work raising the problems this is causing.

What they noted is that the wire rope barriers are being installed along the side of state highways but too close to the fog-line. This does not allow enough room for any car or truck to pull off the road in the case of breakdown, or any other reason to stop.

Given the foggy conditions in these areas, coupled with the high level of heavy commercial vehicle traffic, there is a significant risk of any parked vehicle being rear-ended.

There is also the risk of a vehicle crossing the centre line to go around a parked vehicle and hitting an oncoming vehicle, particularly where two heavy vehicles are involved.

Often the installations are completed over significant lengths of the network with little or no opportunity for trucks to be far enough away from the ‘live’ lane, particularly in the event of emergency stopping or repair requirements.

In fact, these installations are often putting all road users at risk (not just truck drivers), including those who have to effect a repair on the side of the road. There is also a significant risk posed to workers who then have to maintain these systems when they are damaged.

This is a good example of rushing into things before understanding the full implications. This is not a bid to stop or slow down good and well-intentioned initiatives. What we should do is have better involvement in the planning and implementation of these projects. To cross check that they will deliver the best benefits. Just think of the value that could have been added if you involved the user of the system!

It reminds me of that old tried and true adage: “If you really want to understand how things work, ask the people who deal with it every day.” 

NZTA letting us down with broken highways

E

vidence that the brand new Waikato Expressway is developing ruts and breaking up is another extremely disappointing reminder that the NZ Transport Agency is no longer the tightly focused, technically competent organisation it used to be.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there are still many extremely good and competent people at NZTA. However, fears that we would begin to see the negative result of a loss of technical expertise over the past few years may be coming to fruition.

Coming hard on the heels of similar build quality issues with the new Kapiti Coast highway, the Waikato Expressway situation proves that there is an endemic problem with the way NZTA manages its roading projects. The question needs to be asked whether with all the changes instituted at NZTA in recent times the organisation actually has the technical competency and capacity any more to ensure that contracted projects are delivered to the required specifications.

Major state highway projects cost motorists and commercial road transport operators hundreds of millions – if not billions – of dollars, paid for through fuel excise and road user charges. The very least New Zealanders should expect is that the projects are undertaken to a reasonable standard and once a new road is opened it does not become a patchwork of repairs after only a few months of use.

It is not an acceptable excuse that the surface starts deteriorating because water has been allowed to seep into the seal. Yes, I acknowledge that New Zealand is susceptible to significant weather events but government agencies including NZTA have been talking about the importance of network resilience for a long time now so surely that should be a critical part of any project tender or management.

When you go to the developing world it is very common to come across grand hotels and civic buildings that on first glance look fabulous but once you get up close you quickly realise the workmanship is shoddy, the lights don’t work, the doors don’t fit into the door frames and the paint is peeling off. You know within a few years the whole thing will probably be abandoned and the developers, having done a quick and dirty job of it, have taken their money and run. This is not a reputation that NZTA should be seeking to emulate.

Quality issues on brand new stretches of road are a real concern to our industry. Not only do operators suffer the inconvenience of constant roadworks, lane closures and slower journeys, but there is also a significant safety issue here.

While the Government is busy considering the merits of the Vision Zero road safety philosophy, a reduction in speed limits,

adding a greater number of median barriers and mandating side underruns on trucks, perhaps it is time they consider the safety implications of shoddy road surfacing. There is little to no point investing in all those other things or imposing mandated equipment on vehicles if the basic road surface becomes rutted and potholed after only months of use.

The new Government must get on top of this problem. The Agency needs to start focusing on its core role of properly building, maintaining and managing our state highway network.

ON A MORE positive note, we are now only a few weeks away from the 2018 RTF Conference. The conference, being held at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on 26 and 27 September, will explore some of the big issues our industry will face over the next few years.

We are pleased that Phil Twyford, Minister of Transport, has agreed to address the conference for the second year in a row. There have been some pretty big policy changes in the transport space since the new Government took office so it is timely that Phil has the opportunity to explain to us what his intentions are and how that might affect our industry.

KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy will discuss how greater cooperation between road and rail over freight can be to the advantage of both transport modes. Paul Mackay from Business NZ is coming along to shed some light on the Government’s proposed changes to industrial relations law and how that may have a major impact on our industry, while wellknown economist Cameron Bagrie will give us his views on the state of the New Zealand economy, which will be particularly interesting as business confidence slumps.

As is now tradition we will also be holding the Road Transport Industry Awards Dinner during the conference as well as the final of the NZ Truck Driving Championship.

The conference website, including an online registration facility, accommodation options, sponsorship packages, and draft programme, is available at www.rtfconference.co.nz. It promises to be a great event so don’t miss out! 

The very least New Zealanders should expect is that the projects are undertaken to a reasonable standard and once a new road is opened it does not become a patchwork of repairs after only a few months of use.

PIL employ over 200 staff occupying 10,326 sq. metres of head office and adjacent facilities in Rotorua.

Fundamental to Patchell’s impressive growth, from a small engineering company started by Ian Patchell in 1972, is the company’s commitment to ‘right-first-time’ design to consistently overcome the diverse and rugged challenges of logging, container and liquid food transport. Patchell’s has developed formidable expertise in the cost-effective design, fabrication and repair of high-performance structures.

I based this cartoon on an incident many years ago when one of the grain trucks I was working with broke down. It had to be towed to the workshop in Invercargill, so it went behind another truck still loaded. They simply went via the grain store, tipped its load, and then onward to the workshop. Good old days.

THE LAST MILE

Resitting your driver’s licence

L

istening to talkback radio recently I heard another road safety expert saying that as a country our driving skills are disgusting and the way to fix this is to make everybody resit their licence test every five years. It did not come as any surprise to learn that the commentator was representing the views of an organisation that is heavily involved in driver training and testing.

We don’t have to spend much time on the road to see just how poorly some drivers behave, but at any one time these would only be a small fraction of all the people driving, so why penalise the majority for the actions of a few?

It is understood that there are more than 3.5 million driver’s licence holders in New Zealand. If each of them was required to be tested every five years this means that around 700,000 people would have to be retested each year. Mind you, as licence testing is privatised, it would be nice earner if you could

The simple reality is that if a person failed a licence renewal test and their licence was suspended, many would continue to drive and take the risks that go along with it, especially if their livelihood depended on being able to drive.

get in on it. At the current application and test fee of $108, around $75 million dollars by my reckoning.

We know that when most people are under observation, such as for a licence test, they tend to complete the tasks to the standard required, so why would this be any different if a person had to resit their driver’s licence? This commentator is not unique in his views; the call for retesting surfaces from time to time. What most of the people who advocate such a move conveniently forget, however, is that everybody who has a current and valid driver’s licence knows how to drive to the required standard otherwise they wouldn’t have got it in the first place.

The commentator did not say who would pay for the tests or what the economic impact would be if suddenly several drivers would not legally be allowed to drive. Then of course what licence class would you be tested in; if you have a class 5 would you have to do the test in a class 5 vehicle or would you be able to take the test in a car, and if you took the test in a class 5 vehicle and failed the test, would your licence be suspended for all licence classes? And, if you had a class 5 and 6 (motorcycle), would you have to sit two tests?

The simple reality is that if a person failed a licence renewal test and their licence was suspended, many would continue to drive and take the risks that go along with it, especially if their livelihood depended on being able to drive. Even though they may be flagged as an unlicensed driver, the chances of getting picked up are low unless they do something to draw attention to themselves.

If we are to bring about a change to our attitudes towards driving, then it will require a collective effort from all of us to modify our behaviour towards others. When we drive we create the environment around us and we must be prepared to adapt to it and not rely on others to change to meet our needs. Legislation cannot bring about the change towards safer driving we would all like to see; only our attitude will achieve this.

But then I am just an ageing accidental trucker.
