eterbilt introduced the new Model 520 lineup, including the PACCAR MX-11 engine, at this year’s WasteExpo conference at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 8-11. The Model 520 is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of the refuse industry and provide customers with cost effective, efficient operation. The versatile low cab forward model and powertrain options give customers the equipment they need to perform a wide array of services in the refuse industry. “Peterbilt has been a leader in the refuse industry for nearly 50 years by providing innovations and enhanced performance,” says Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Assistant General Manager of Sales and Marketing.
“Combined with the reliability and durability of the PACCAR MX-11 engine, the capabilities of the Peterbilt refuse lineup continue to exceed customer needs and expectations.” The Peterbilt exhibit displayed five Model 520’s outfitted with a variety of refuse bodies. Also, on display were three new cab configurations for the rugged Model 520. The innovative vocational model is now available in Left-Hand Drive, Right-Hand Drive and Right-Hand Stand-Up Drive in addition to the existing Dual Seated Drive configuration, the company announced. Peterbilt introduced the Model 520 in the Dual Seated Drive configuration
in-Cor Industries, a leading custom manufacturer of vocational severe-service vehicles, is guided by a clearly articulated vision: “To be a leader in the manufacturing of vocational trucks.” In real terms it has already achieved this objective, evidenced by numerous awards and an impressive ranking, both as one of Canada’s fastest growing companies, and as a top regional employer at its headquarters in Mattawa, Ontario. But Gin-Cor’s President, Luc Stang, knows better than to rest on well deserved laurels. The company vision, and the values it lives by, is organic, requiring continuous efforts to meet everyday challenges and to remain a preferred
employer and industry leader. Gin-Cor is already undergoing a robust expansion phase with the purchase of two complementary companies - Durabody in 2015 and JC Trailers in 2016 - ideal purchases says Luc Stang because “these acquisitions met our desired profile due to the nature and fit of our business. They are both custom fabricators dedicated to precision work that make up some of the strongest products in the market today.” These acquisitions followed a previous expansion of the Mattawa facility and the opening of sales and service facilities in Carleton Place near Ottawa and Kingston in order to extend market reach for the company’s line of severe service vehicles.

riving the old Kings Highway #3 to Fort Erie last month was like a trip right out of the 1960’s! To old timers like me, this route was known as ‘Tobacco Road’ as it meanders through the small towns and villages of Ontario’s Haldimand-Norfolk County eventually joining up with the Regional Municipality of Niagara, home of the much travelled ‘Niagara Wine Route’. My destination was Zanchin Truck & Trailer Inc. in the village of Ridgeway in Fort Erie, owned and operated by Stan Zanchin for the past 20 years. Ridgeway is notable for being the location of the 1866 Battle of Ridgeway where Irish-American revolutionaries known as Fenians invaded Canada in a failed attempt to oust the British and create an independent Irish republic. Like many mechanical entrepreneurs, Stan’s career path started with his apprenticeship at a Ridgeway Service Station making $2.25 an hour. In 1987 Stan and his family moved to Pembroke where he secured a position working for the Clouthier family at Valley Spring Service, an International/Navistar Dealer (since 1984). His starting wage was set at $9.50 an hour and over time was raised to $16.00. Stan figures he rebuilt around 300 DT466 inline-6 diesel engines while at Valley Spring. From 1990-97 Stan was a Partner in a KW Parts & Service operation in the Ottawa region. By the Spring of 1997, Stan was anxious to start his own business and returned with his family to his hometown in Ridgeway, and within a short time had set up shop on a 5-acre industrial site at 929 Bowen Road. He’s still in the same location today and there have been a couple of major expansions to enhance his ability to provide services. He even transformed an insulated Sea Container into a parts storage addition. Stan best describes his business as “The One Stop Shop”. Their recently
22 June 2017
upgraded website www.zanchin.ca offers “Rugged Repairs For Tough Trucks”! This includes complete service for all makes and models of Diesel Trucks. Stan employs 3 experienced licensed mechanics along with his Parts and Warehouse staff. Not content to specialize only in HD Truck & Trailer parts, the company recently decided to ink a deal to represent Canada Trailers Manufacturing Ltd. of Aylmer Ontario that boasts a complete lineup of “Made in Canada” Utility, Tilt, Dump, and Deckover/Gooseneck type Trailers. Another much utilized service
offering is provided with Zanchin’s extensive Spring shop, a complete Tire & Wheel End maintenance package and a 24-hour Mobile Road Service. It is also worthy to note that Stan’s fierce independence and unwavering dedication to his trade, combined with an honest approach to doing business and his ability to negotiate strategic alliances with national supply chain partners such as FGI, validates that now famous 1973 Leopold Kohr phrase that appeared in the Schumacher book; “Small is Beautiful”. In my opinion, Zanchin Truck &Trailer Inc. is a classic example of a ‘Sustainable Business Model”. Interestingly, this comprehensive service centre has also attracted the attention of some US Fleets who have found the location’s proximity to the Peace Bridge handy for parking their trailers and convenient to receiving on-the-spot running repairs when required. As if running his own business doesn’t provide enough of an adrenalin rush these days, it’s a wonder that Stan has had the time to indulge in his favorite sport - ASCS - Sprint Car Racing at the famous Ohsweken Speedway. Suffice to say that these short-track, winged whirling dervishes, with engines in the 700HP to 900HP range, are not for the faint of heart. Way to go Stan! To make your appointment with Zanchin Truck & Trailer Inc., call Stan direct at 905.991.0001.

to customers is demonstrated in the cooperative internal culture of the organization and by the level of customer satisfaction in product and service quality. Confirms Stang, “Gin-Cor will be the envy in our industry by giving the very best in customer experience.” Standing alongside these values is GinCor’s promotion of leadership, a strength
that underlies all corporate operations. Concludes Luc Stand, “Leadership is part of everything we do, how we act, how we learn, how we grow, and how we promote ourselves to our clients that support us. Leadership draws our customers to seek us out as their preferred industry experts. Our leaders within Gin-Cor enable me to move more freely
Impressive by any measure, these milestones fill only part of the canvass on what Luc Stang describes as a “painted picture,” a vision of Gin-Cor’s growth in the year 2020 with projected sales of $100 million from all combined companies and locations. Integral to current and future success is a commensurate investment in the recruitment of the right people, the ongoing acquisition of the right companies, and adherence to the right values and spirit. “It’s all about the people,” Luc explains. “Each year we are ranked as the top company to work for in our region. We have worked hard to make it all about the right people and treating people right. With every decision we make, we consider our people. My personal goal is to be ranked as one of the best places to work in Ontario if not Canada.” To this end Gin-Cor is assiduous in its attempts to attract only the best candidates for the positions it offers, men and women who share Stang’s enthusiasm for continuous growth and commitment to customer service excellence. Prospective employees, for example, are issued handbooks detailing company expectations and employee requirements. A top grade recruitment and selection system ensures that each Gin-Cor team is filled with the best talent and performers.

NEWS & VIEWS
Mixed Vocational Fleet Service BY MIKE WHALEN
I
n the vocational world where fleets are sometimes a mix between on and off road trucks and equipment, planning a service program can be complex. Construction, logging, utility, aggregate producers and others with both trucks and off-road diesel powered equipment can be faced with designing their service facility to work on both tracked and wheeled vehicles. When I started out with both in the mix, it was a new world and I had to learn how to create a service program that kept units on the road and costs down. Most experienced fleet managers have created vehicle support programs that work. My comments are meant for those who are, as I was, just starting out. For the work truck fleet to keep a mixed bag of on and off highway vehicles on the road it is important that the operation consider an in-house service facility. ‘Machine-down’ is not acceptable if you are to keep the job on schedule. Relying solely on others to provide service will not work. The primary objective of in-house service is to keep equipment up and running. By dividing service work into three categories, a) emergency repair, b) planned maintenance and c) major overhauls or rebuilds, a service plan can be developed to suit your specific needs. The main focus of your shop is to keep down-time to a minimum. The number of units in your fleet will determine staffing levels. Trained technicians, those able to work on trucks and off-highway vehicles, can be hard to find. Technicians able to work on diesel engines as well as drive systems are also in short supply. An overall basic plan should cover the emergency ‘machine-down’ needs combined with PM programs to fill in the
daily work plan while not having dead spots where your technicians don’t have any work. A field service truck is also a necessity if your trucks and equipment are working in an off-site location. A mobile service unit (FSU) can perform a number of PM tasks in the field such as lube, oil and filter changes, plus emergency needs such as blown hoses, broken belts, and tire repairs. The FSU, outfitted with a portable welding unit, can also perform necessary welding repairs. The use of an outside Independent Service Provider (ISP) will provide the resources for covering the times when the work load exceeds your capability and can also provide specialized repairs that your own technicians may not be able to perform. Using the OE dealer for remote diagnostic assistance will help determine the operating issue and give your technician an immediate heads-up on the repair necessary. Diesel engine systems specialists like the Association of Diesel Specialists (ADS) can solve diesel combustion and turbocharger issues that may need correcting to maximize fuel economy. Some large fleet service operations also provide services to smaller operators that cannot justify their own service facility. This is the case when major contractors hire owner-operators to supplement their own trucks and equipment. It’s in the major contractor’s best interest to keep their owner-operators on the road. Another resource for your service department is the local multi-line parts and component distributor. Usually the parts distributor will offer an on-site vendor managed inventory control service (VMI). This starts with a fleet survey that lists each piece of equipment and the consumables used, filters, belts,
Multi-purpose, 4-post, movable unit used for trucks as well as construction and logging equipment. hoses, etc. A customized inventory level is developed in conjunction with the PM program. The field rep from the distributor keeps track of the parts as used and ensures they are replaced, so when a truck or machine needs the item, it’s on the shelf. Some distributors connect with the fleet’s parts computer so they are immediately informed when a part has been used and can schedule a replacement part. Designing and equipping your service area requires planning ahead to make the most of the space available. The most common layout is to have at least one service bay large enough to bring the truck or machine being worked on inside. Lubrication, oil, and filter changes are the jobs most frequently performed. Wheel work – tires, brakes, bearings and seals would be next. To perform this work efficiently it is necessary to have access to the underside of the truck. This brings up one of the most expensive components needed.
The hoist. To perform many service tasks from oil and filter changes, lubrication to drive-line and transmission repairs, it’s necessary to get under the truck or machine. A hoist is the most effective way to do this. There are two main configurations to consider – in ground and above ground. In ground hoists, and some above ground, are fixed in place and can take up a full bay. If you don’t think you will use it continually – or you just don’t have the room, then the moveable design will be more efficient. The article on page 27 illustrates some of the hoist configurations. Planning an effective vehicle service program can mean the difference between a profitable operation and one that is not. Being able to work on your equipment in a heated shop is a major consideration. My first winter was spent servicing the trucks and equipment outside. Not the best when operating in northwestern Ontario.

SPECIAL REPORT
Innovation & Education In Northern Mining Sector BY MAREK KRASUSKI
N
orthern Companies Continue To Innovate and Educate In Mining Sector EDUCATION Education and product innovation are trailblazing inroads into the robust mining sector of northern Canada. In Nunavut the Kitikmeot Corporation in partnership with Kitikmeot Inuit Association, Service Canada and Nuna Training Technologies, has developed a Heavy Equipment Operator Training Program, complete with simulator training held within the Kitikmeot region. This simulator program affords Kitikmeot region residents the chance to gain heavy equipment training for the mining and construction sectors at a fraction of the cost of onsite training in real machines. The growing demand for qualified heavy equipment operators in the far North coincides with simulator training that prepares prospects for gainful employment. Simulators mimic the real world environments and challenges of heavy equipment operations, providing the opportunity for students to complete heavy operator course certification with the help of four large simulators. Students learn to operate bulldozers, loaders, excavators and articulated trucks. The Kitikmeot Inuit Association says the simulator training has raised the interest of regional employers looking for prospects with heavy equipment certification - a timely request given the construction boom in Cambridge Bay, home of the Kitikmeot Inuit Association, and the neighbouring Hope Bay gold mine which is poised for production. The simulator training comes at a critical juncture for this northern region. Older operators are heading toward
retirement and younger recruits need to fill vacancies. The remoteness of the region means there is also a shortage of driver examiners. Simulator training replicates on-road training where students are faced with multiple tasks and up to a dozen real work scenarios which they are expected to complete successfully. Innovation Despite a downturn in the mining industry optimism remains palpable. As a more recent sign of better times Equipment North, a Sudbury-based construction and mining equipment rental company, has added another location in Timmins. The 10,000 ft. facility houses assorted mining essentials - forklifts, telehandlers, shotcrete equipment and attachments - to better serve this regional mining camp. The company has expertise in the disassembling of equipment to be transported in mine cages to underground environments. For a full range of industrial construction tools & equipment, custom machinery and mining solutions, check out their website at www.equipmentnorth.com. Of note to mining stakeholders is the class of Commander Series electric vehicles designed for deep underground mining environments. These purpose built personnel carriers are provided by Tracks and Wheels, Equipment Brokers based in Sudbury and specializing in the sales, service and rental of heavy equipment for mining, construction, agriculture and landscaping. Soon to join the Commander Series of personnel carriers is the EV Commander. The company describes the current Commander Series as “a new class of underground personnel carrier
designed from years of research and customer input. The Commander offers a comfortable and controlled ride without sacrificing payload capacity. Combined with low maintenance requirements and ground level service, the Commander is in a class of its own. The EV Commander, still in the design and production stage, is distinguished from other personnel carriers by its design as an electric vehicle as opposed to other brands which typically convert their existing carriers to battery powered units. Depending on application, the EV Commander will provide up to 6 hours of use. Tracks and Wheels offers additional mining machinery such as the Minemaster R205. Heavy duty articulating frames in this multi-purpose utility vehicle allow for several modifications depending on job requirements. It is easily maneuverable in tight spaces and when used as an underground mining forklift can support up to 6,000 pounds. More information is available at www. tracksandwheels.com. Joy Global, another stalwart mining equipment production partner in the Sudbury basin with headquarters in the United States, has come under the ownership of Komatsu. The company offers a comprehensive suite of vehicles for underground hard rock mining. Their line of loaders provide for a variety of load capacities even in narrow environments, typical in underground mining veins. Load capacities range from 4,500 lbs. to 22,000 lbs. For surface mining applications Joy Global offers a comprehensive line of wheel loaders, including the L-2350, the world’s largest wheel loader. These Generation 2 loaders, the company
says, “are designed to achieve greater operating hours due to a robust structural design and modular components, provide the best possible fuel consumption levels due to the power regeneration capacity of the Joy SR Hybrid Drive technology, and are equipped with the latest safety features that meet global requirements recognized by leading mining industry safety councils.” RDH Mining Equipment has been acknowledged for innovations in mining equipment, particularly in the development of battery powered machinery. In addition to new battery powered vehicles, RDH retrofits diesel machinery to battery power, a cost saving alternative considering the expense of charging batteries is just 20 percent of the cost of diesel use. Removal of diesel, particularly in enclosed underground mining environments, lowers ventilation costs and creates safer working conditions. RDH introduced the first Evolution battery equipment line, the Muckmaster 300EB underground loader. This was followed a year later with the Haulmaster 800-20ED, a 20 tonne battery powered haul truck for underground use.

Tailwind Now Integrates with QuickBooks Online Leading provider of trucking and freight broker software makes accounting easier for small to mid-sized freight transportation companies.

ancouver, British Columbia – Managing the books is challenging, yet integral for small to mid-sized trucking companies and freight brokerages. Tailwind Transportation Software is excited to make it easier for transportation companies to look after their financial health by integrating QuickBooks Online, the world’s leading online financial software for small businesses, with its all-in-one transportation management software (TMS). Tailwind’s trucking and freight broker software helps transportation companies manage customers, dispatch loads, send invoices, and make payments to drivers. It provides a business with everything it needs to operate on a day-to-day basis – keeping track of the dollars and cents associated with each Order and Dispatch, as well as the details of each freight transaction. And now, all this information can be easily synchronized with QuickBooks Online. “QuickBooks Online is one of the most popular accounting systems for trucking companies and freight brokers, and is a natural fit for our online TMS (Transportation Management Software) offering.” said Murray Pratt, President and CEO of Tailwind. “The integration between Tailwind and QuickBooks provides our users with a complete accounting,
admin, and operations solution at a fraction of the price and time required by the large integrated client server systems with their in-app accounting platforms.” Tailwind is also partnering with Kerry Smithies of MyQuickbookKeeping.com who will set up businesses’ chart of accounts, lead training sessions, and provide services to help Tailwind customers take full advantage of QuickBooks to: • Manage payroll and pay vendors • Record and manage expenses while on the go • Connect their systems directly to their bank accounts • Generate income statements and balance sheets • Track asset amortization “Coming from a trucking family, I am very excited to partner with Tailwind to make life easier for smaller and familyrun transportation companies; to help them really take control of their financial health,” said Kerry. The Tailwind and Quickbooks Online integration is available to all users of Tailwind Pro – you can get started with a demo or 30-day free trial here. Learn more about Tailwind’s integration with Quickbooks Online at Kerry Smithies’ Tailwind and QuickBooks Online webinar on May 31st.

MOBILE COLUMN LIFTS
Service Shop Hoists Getting Underneath Trucks & Equipment
T
he easiest and most cost-effective heavy-duty lift to add to a service department is the versatile mobile column lift. A mobile column lift consists of two, three or four pairs of lifting columns that work together to pick up and raise a vehicle by its wheels. One column is positioned at each wheel of a vehicle, and then they are all synchronized using communication cables or wireless receivers to simultaneously raise the vehicle. These portable lifts are easy for technicians to use. Battery-operated wireless models can be set up quickly in an available flat bay with no cords to connect or get in the way. For dealers who anticipate only occasional truck service, mobile columns are easy to move and store so they don’t take up valuable bay space when not in use. Adding to their flexibility is the fact that after the vehicle is raised to an ergonomic working height, the technician can lower the vehicle onto a set of jack stands so the mobile columns can be removed and used in another bay. In this
way, a single mobile column lift can be used to pick up vehicles in multiple bays. Rotary Lift’s new Mach™ Flex powered by Red Fire™ mobile column lifts are operated by remote control, giving the technician full visibility and mobility around the vehicle while lifting. FOUR-POST LIFTS A medium-duty four-post lift is basically a larger version of the same type of lift many service facilities already have in an alignment or quick-service bay. Fixed ops managers know how easy it is to use. Simply drive the vehicle onto the runways, which are then raised to get the vehicle up in the air quickly and efficiently. This drive-on capability makes four-post lifts well suited for quick service operations such as inspections, oil changes and lube jobs. Although the vehicle is initially supported by its wheels, rolling jacks can be added to the lift to engage the vehicle by its axles, so tire and wheel work can be performed. Because of space requirements, fourpost lifts make the most sense if you have a dedicated bay available, or if you
are expanding your existing facility or building a new one. Other designs from Rotary Lift include Above Ground, In Ground, Two Post, Parallelogram, and the Rotary V-REX (see photo), a vertical rise platform scissor lift that offers clear spans of space in and around a massive lifting structure. With capacities between 44,000 pounds and 80,000 pounds this lift is designed to pick up large trucks, heavy equipment
and anything else you can think to drive on it, like FIRE TRUCKS filled with water! (within the rated capacity) Rotary Lift, the largest lift manufacturer in North America, provides these tips to help choose which style of lift is best for a vocational fleet or dealership’s needs and growth goals. Rotary Lift manufactures lifts to 80,000 pound capacity. For more information, visit www.rotarylift. com.

towards owner operators. More information can be found at FSMAExpress.com. Iron Apple International is a leading supplier of professional food safety support to companies involved in the transportation of food products throughout North America. For more information, please visit: www.IronApple.net.

CUMMINS, INC.
Cummins App Reduces Service Response Time
W
ithout having to enter a service bay or wait for a technician to come on site, Cummins customers are now able to read prioritized engine fault codes and other key engine information within minutes wherever they are operating with the new Cummins Guidanz™ mobile app. Available as a free download now on the Apple® App Store or the Google® Play Store™, the Guidanz mobile app arms customers with critical information about their Cummins engines (2007 and later on-highway engines and Tier 3 and later off-highway engines) that they can email to their operations managers, service providers or a Cummins Care representative directly from the app to initiate the service process. The time it takes to complete the first step of the triage process is drastically reduced when using the Guidanz mobile app. However, time savings don’t stop there when customers are engaged with certified Cummins service providers. The Immediate Assessment feature of the Guidanz mobile app is available to certified service providers to help improve
shop scheduling. As providers begin to adopt Immediate Assessment in the com-
ing months, they will not only be able to read the fault code, but assess the severity of the fault, how quickly it can be repaired, what repair parts are likely needed and start a work order without ever asking the customer to enter a service bay. When the service provider is armed with these products, customers can not only feel confident that the right tools and parts will be available for their engine when they are in the service bay, but can feel at ease knowing that they will experience as little downtime as possible when in the care of a certified Cummins service provider. “The Guidanz mobile app with the Immediate Assessment feature is giving customers back valuable hours that used to be spent troubleshooting by arming customers and service providers with information backed by immeasurable amounts of data and analysis done by Cummins experts,” said Ryan Kikendall, Executive Director – Service Event Solutions at Cummins. “We have nearly 100 years of experience with diesel engines, and we’re translating our learnings into
time-saving solutions for our customers.” Though the Guidanz mobile app requires a smartphone or tablet to operate, it will still function when the device is offline. Customers are provided a list of fault codes regardless of connectivity, so even when operating in remote locations, such as a mine or temporary job site, customers are still empowered with enough information to call their operations managers, service providers or Cummins Care with information to initiate the service process. To operate, the Guidanz mobile app must be paired with an INLINE™ mini Bluetooth® adapter or INLINE 7 and requires either an iOS® or an Android® operating system. At launch, the Guidanz mobile app and INLINE products will be available to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. The INLINE mini and the Immediate Assessment feature are available through authorized Cummins channels. Contact Cummins Sales and Service for additional information, or call Cummins Care at 800.

CUMMINS, INC.
Cummins Recommends Power Service Products
I
n a historic industry move, Cummins, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of diesel engines, (NYSE:CMI) now officially endorses and recommends two Power Service products - Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost and Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost - for use in diesel engines. The announcement comes after significant internal testing concluded both products meet Cummins® requirements, becoming the first fuel additive products that Cummins Inc. has ever officially recommended in the marketplace. Roger England, Director of Technical Quality and Materials Engineering for Cummins Inc., stated that “In recent years diesel fuel quality has become increasingly
important as engines evolve and the diesel fuel manufacturing processes change. The Power Service Diesel Kleen and Diesel Fuel Supplement additives provide easilyaccessible solutions with proven technology to customers in the field when they encounter challenges with their fuel such as poor lubricity, low cetane numbers, low temperature operability issues, injector deposits, etc. Cummins Inc. is in a very unique position in that we design not only the engine but also the turbochargers, fuel system, and after treatment systems, which enables us to fully leverage the Power Service diesel fuel additive technologies” With the advancement of diesel engine technology and to fully realize the benefits
of today’s cleaner burning fuels, using Power Service Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost as a year-round performance enhancer cleans dirty injectors, prevents injector sticking, smooths rough-running engines and can improve fuel economy. This all translates into maximizing overall engine performance. Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost, recommended for use in cold winter months when temperatures drop below +30F, is a winterizer/anti-gel used to prevent fuel gelling and keep fuel-filters from plugging with ice and wax. When temperatures drop, paraffin (wax) in Ultra-
Low-Sulfur Diesel fuel (ULSD) will gel, stopping fuel from flowing through the engine and water in the fuel can freeze on the facings of fuel-filters, blocking fuel flow. This formula provides trouble-free winter operation for diesel fuel. “This partnership allows Cummins to leverage Power Service’s wide distribution network and industry leading technology to make diesel fuel solutions more accessible to our customers,” said Gary Ross, Director of Global Mining Business, Cummins Filtration.
