TUCK ROUTES

“It’s Pete & Nobody!”

BY AL TUCKER

W

ithin a Drive & a Wedge of three (3) 401 Truck Stops, and by taking Exit 195 and driving just a minute or two south, on Elgin County Road 73, you will find; P&N Trucking Services Ltd. and Pearson’s Heavy Truck Repair and Sales.

Their President Pete Pearson, went to school in Danville and Richmond and grew up in the central Quebec City of Victoriaville (Circa 1861), the seat of Arthabaska Regional County Municipality, a part of the “Bois-Francs” region, best known for its Textiles, hardwood products such as Furniture and Hockey Sticks and as the original home of Lactantia® (a Parmalat Division), a popular brand name in Premium PürFiltre Milk products, European style unsalted Butter and Cream products.

Pete’s fascination in transportation and

driving trucks has a twenty-five-year history. He started out in 1991 as a UPS Driver, working long hours and all the time aspiring to own a trucking company one day. After 14 years with UPS, in 2004 Pete bought his first Highway Tractor, establishing P&N Trucking Services Ltd. Twelve more years of long hours and painstaking service helped grow his staff to 24 drivers and a fleet of eighteen Tractors. He racked up his fair share of miles too, running with routes from Montreal to Vancouver in the west and to Georgia in the south. Contracts with FedEx has helped drive the business augmented by his own ’For Hire’ fleet services.

Pete had reached the point where he wanted to have more control over his tractor maintenance costs so in 2016 decided to set up Pearson’s Truck Repair and Sales, opening a new location at 4524 Westchester Bourne on the outskirts of Belmont, Ontario. The existing shop buildings on the sight were completely upgraded with state-of-theart equipment. Pearson’s is a designated MTO Inspection Station and employs three Certified Truck Technicians, supplemented by local college co-op recruits and summer students. One of

their specialty services is a stand-alone, exclusive “Detail Shop” that has attracted much attention from local operators and Truck Dealers such as the Team Truck Centres group. Supply chain contracts were established with reliable heavyduty parts distributors to support the enterprise. Pearson’s offers a complete service package including Engine, Transmission, Clutch, Brakes, Steering – the works! Always on the lookout for additional service opportunities, Pete recognized a need in the area for mobile windshield replacement and followed through by establishing Pete’s Auto Glass as a separate division.

Keeping track of all aspects of his integrated transportation and service business brought Pete into contact with IoT, ‘UPLINK’ (a ‘Numerex Solution), providing a cellular alarm communication service that offers GPS Vehicle and Asset Tracking. Today, Pete runs all aspects of his growing enterprise from his iPhone – in both official languages! This technology is a necessity today considering the consequences from delayed shipments or in terms of accident avoidance where the systems onboard cameras monitor his Drivers.

Furthermore, Pete was so impressed with

the system features that he signed on as the local “UPLINK” Dealer.

Besides offering Used Trucks and Tractors for sale, an opportunity to add late model Used Cars to his sales menu seemed a natural addition considering his prime highway location. The company also offers Financing Services for all purchases.

Talking about a menu, brings up another unique service that Pete envisioned for the location. Shortly after opening last year and missing one of his favourite fast foods prompted Pete to set up his very own food truck on site. It was built to Pete’s precise design features right in his own shop by his staff over last winter. Whether you are just driving by or driving in for service, you just can’t miss, “Pete’s Poutine Street Grill” Bon Appétit!

NEWS & VIEWS

Changes in Parts Distribution

BY MIKE WHALEN

I

n past News & Views I’ve written about how parts and service distribution has changed over the years. The most noticeable change has been the independent aftermarket distributor’s relationship with the original equipment dealer.

When I started out as an independent aftermarket parts distributor, a major segment of the independent distributor’s parts sales went to OE dealers. In our case, it was 40%.

Today, the independent channel competes directly with the OE channel for the end-user’s business. Yesterday most large fleets had their own service facilities. Owner operators either performed their own maintenance, went to the OE dealer or, if they worked for a large fleet, had their service work done in their employer’s service facilities. Today, many small to mid-sized fleets have contracted out service to an Independent Service Provider (ISP).

It is estimated that truck parts aftermarket sales is now roughly 60% OE and 40% independent.

On the OE side, their parts sales are

through their own service facility, the Independent Service Provider and the truck fleet that operates their own service department.

On the independent side, vehicle parts sales for the most part, are to the ISP and the fleet’s repair facility with some OE dealer business for off-make components.

A big reason for the growth of the OE side has been on-board computerization. To repair a vehicle today the service provider must have access to OE codes and procedures.

This has led to the ISP developing a close relationship with the OE dealers to obtain the needed diagnostic and repair information resulting in the purchase of parts as part of the quid pro quo.

We are now seeing another shift in vehicle parts distribution.

Leading the way is private branding and parts consolidation by both OEM’s and independent aftermarket groups.

OEM’s are developing their own brands for distribution through their dealers and, in the case of Daimler’s Alliance Truck Parts, through separate

parts stores. (See story below) Parts consolidation is another factor that’s affecting the independent aftermarket distributor.

A manufacturer of a core group of products adds to their offering and creates a catalog of products through agreements with parts manufacturers.

These can be general all-makes products such as Automann or specialists like IPD Engine Parts.

Another more gradual change, but probably the most significant, is the consolidation of parts and component manufacturers. An example is the growth of Parker’s Filtration Group.

The recent acquisition of Clarcor by Parker Filtration means that two major brands, Baldwin and Hastings, are now under the same roof as Racor.

The big question when brands combine or parts manufacturers become part of a new ‘branded’ distribution network is the effect felt by the independent distributor. Think about it. If you are a distributor for brand X and your competitor handles brand Y, what happens when X&Y are now under the same roof? Does your

competitor now have access to your brand?

List the product ‘brands’ that are your top ten and ask the question, ‘how will your position be affected by brand consolidation now or in the future.

Usually ‘brands’ that are now under the same ownership continue to maintain their current distribution. But the market is only so big and as sales growth levels off what is the next step taken to improve the bottom line?

Answer, of course, is cost reduction.

Not hard to see that a plan to reduce operating costs will, in some way, affect distribution. It can be said that the growth of private branding has been driven, in part, by the need for the manufacturer to reduce distribution costs.

Whether you are a fleet, OE dealer, Independent Service Provider or an aftermarket parts distributor, I’d like to hear your views on the ever-changing aftermarket. Send me an email: cem@lweb.net. Independent Service Providers will be the subject of the next column.

Hendrickson Combines Two Innovations for One Amazing Solution

H

endrickson supplements their Genuine Parts portfolio with the addition of the renowned Hendrickson Equalizing Beam complete with the innovated patented Rotating Bar Pin End Bushing for a quick and easy installation.

“Our patented Rotating Bar Pin End Bushing allows you to adjust the angle of the pin to match the axle pinion angle for a quick and easy beam installation. Uptime is paramount in this industry, and this new product offering will enable the technician to service the vehicle right the first time,” said David McCleave, Director Aftermarket for Hendrickson.

Along with the rotating bar pin benefit, the rotating bar pin bushing utilizes the same proprietary rubber

material and bonding composition as the standard end bushing leading to longer component life. Once under load, the rotating bar pin will lock into place.

This patented feature eliminates inner bushing wear which contributes to greater component service life.

The Genuine Parts’ Equalizing Beam is the exact beam used in production; providing the structural

exclusive to Hendrickson; enabling long component service life and a lightweight design for greater payloads.

Utilizing proprietary manufacturing and material preparation processes increases fatigue life which equates to longer service life of the equalizing beam. The Genuine Parts’ Equalizing Beam is one hundred percent robotically welded; delivering consistent and accurate weld

integrity and functionality to maintain original system performance.

Hendrickson Equalizing Beams are made of a high strength steel formula

penetration leading to improved service life and peace of mind.

MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA (CANADA) INC.

Michelin Canada Welcomes Saskatchewan Laws Allowing Wide-Base Single Tires for Heavy Trucks

L

aval, Quebec – Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. recognizes the leaders of the Government of Saskatchewan, Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, and the Saskatchewan Trucking Association, who worked collaboratively for the province to become Canada’s fourth to enact regulations that permit the trucking industry to increase hauling and payload capacity, while reducing its carbon footprint. The total payload increase from 7,700 kg per axle to 8,500 kg allows the industry to adopt fuel-efficient wide-base single heavy-truck tires and to operate at competitive weight limits,

while decreasing fuel consumption and green-house gas emissions for the environment.

Freight transportation is one of the biggest greenhouse gas challenges – and opportunities – responsible for 7% of Canada’s overall emissions. New generation technology uses a single, wide tire (445 mm and 455 mm) to replace conventional dual tires on trucks.

Substituting this technology for conventional dual tires yields an estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) impact equivalent to removing 1.8 cars off the road for every heavy truck. New Generation Wide Base Single Tires (NGWBST) also

consume less petroleum in their production and less fuel on the road. Heavy trucks expend an estimated one in every three tanks of fuel to overcome the rolling resistance of the tires alone, which is improved with wide-base single tires.

“Michelin just recently hosted MOVIN’ON, the Global Summit on Sustainable Mobility, for the first time here in Canada. So we are particularly encouraged to see that Saskatchewan is implementing an environmentally friendly approach to commercial mobility, which also helps the trucking sector improve its competitiveness,” said Jeff MacLean, President, Michelin North

America (Canada) Inc. “Accelerating the adoption of New Generation Wide Base Single Tires is one important way that government and industry can use innovative technologies to help drive Canada’s clean-growth agenda.”

Wide base single tires have been available in North America since 2000.

Load parity was implemented in 2009 in Quebec and in 2008 in Ontario. In 2015, Manitoba revised regulations pertaining to trucks travelling provincial highways that meet national load ratings.

operating margins, and enable us to meet long-term growth goals, strengthening our ability to achieve top quartile financial performance.”

“The combination deeply expands our ability to help make our world cleaner and safer while equipping our team members with new opportunities to innovate and grow,” said Rob Malone, Parker’s Filtration Group President. “The acquisition also offers significant operating synergies from our combined strengths to better serve our customers.”

nternational Truck announced on June 15 the standard availability of air disc brakes on all axles for all models of the International®LT™ Series.

The International LT Series in 6x4, 6x2, and 4x2 configurations now feature Bendix ® ADB22X ™ air disc brakes as a standard offering on all axles and is available for order.

“Our DriverFirst™ design philosophy

24 August 2017

ensures the needs of professional drivers remain top of mind with our product development team,” said Denny Mooney, Senior Vice President, Global Product Development, International Trucks.

“Offering standard air disc brakes on all axles is just another example of our Uptime promise to build trucks with the latest safety technologies, that stay on the road and that drivers want to drive.”

The Bendix ADB22X air disc brake from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC (BSFB) features a patented lightweight design that significantly reduces stopping distance and extends brake system life. Complementing the straight, stable stops that air disc brakes provide is greater reliability, thanks to a design that nearly eliminates brake fade and degradation of stopping power. In addition,

total cost of ownership can be reduced by installing durable, long-lasting air disc brakes which generally allow for significantly shorter pad change times than traditional drums.

In developing the LT Series, International Truck worked hard to assure that drivers will find each vehicle more comfortable, appealing and user-friendly in every detail. Based on a careful review of more than 500 points where the driver and truck interact, the highly ergonomic interior of the LT Series includes better elbow room, hip room and leg room.

Driver input also led to a smart, welldesigned mix of high-tech and traditional features that emphasize driver ease of use. Many of the truck’s new features were designed to improve reliability and serviceability, as well as safety and functionality.

Berg’s was started and founded in 1991 by Peter Bergen in Winkler, Manitoba. Peter set out to provide industrial and auto body painting services for the local market. Berg’s quickly became known as a high quality finish provider to the trailer industry.

This then grew to include repairing issues such as cracking and rusting on all makes and models of trailers on the market at that time. Peter rapidly

learned where the weak points were on all kinds of trailers.

Berg’s came to the point where they decided to start building their own trailers. Berg’s works with drafters, structural engineers and paint companies to design a trailer, which is stronger and lasts longer in the Canadian climate.

VOLVO TRUCKS

Volvo D13 Turbo Compound Engine Improves VNL Series Fuel Efficiency

V

olvo Trucks North America’s new VNL series delivers up to 7.5 percent improved fuel efficiency when spec’d with Volvo’s innovation-packed D13 Turbo Compound engine (D13TC), providing customers a potent combination that is raising the standard for performance and efficiency in long-haul trucking.

“Since their introduction, we’ve found our lineup of GHG 2017 engines - particularly the D13TC - to be the most fuel-efficient we’ve ever offered in North America,” said Göran Nyberg, President of Volvo Trucks North America. “Now, combined with an additional 1 percent fuel efficiency benefit from the improved aerodynamics of the new VNL series, customers spec’ing the D13TC will see up to a 7.5 percent improvement overall.”

Designed for customers with longhaul, steady-speed operations, the 13-liter Volvo D13TC utilizes turbo compounding technology that recovers energy typically wasted through the exhaust, converting it into useable mechanical energy that is transferred back to the engine. The 50 additional horsepower is fed directly to the crankshaft, resulting in up to a 6.5 percent improvement in fuel efficiency from the engine alone when compared with previous GHG14 D13 engine models.

“Turbo Compound is a waste heat recovery system that uses a turbine to convert energy from the exhaust gases into additional torque on the crankshaft improving engine efficiency,” said John Moore, Volvo Trucks Product Marketing Manager - Powertrain. “This robust

system is completely mechanical and adds no additional routine maintenance to the engine.”

Customers are able to pair the D13TC with Volvo’s XE - eXceptional Efficiency - powertrain packages. XE packages rely on Volvo’s fully integrated I-Shift automated manual transmission to downspeed the engine, enabling a cruise rpm up to 300 rpm less than the average truck sold today, saving fuel.

The VNL series comes standard with the Volvo D13 engine, with the D13TC available as an option. Customers choosing Daycab and VNL 400 models also have the option of spec’ing the 11-liter Volvo D11 as an alternative. The 15-liter Cummins X15 is also available in the VNL series.

All three Volvo engines feature the patented wave piston, which employs a uniquely designed piston crown with ridges to burn fuel more efficiently.

A proven common rail fuel injection system improves fuel efficiency by enabling finer control and more accurate fuel injection.

The engines also feature a revised EGR flow sensor with a new doublewall casing to reduce condensation and soot buildup in cold weather, preventing downtime. An available two-speed coolant pump also contributes to improved fuel efficiency as a result of reduced parasitic losses.

The new intake throttle enables a faster warmup when the engine is started.

“Volvo’s proprietary engine options in the new VNL series mean customers no longer have to choose between good fuel efficiency and good power,” Moore said. “These features added to the proven Volvo D-series foundation enable us to give customers the

Volvo Trucks North America’s new VNL series is powered by Volvo’s innovationpacked engines, including the Volvo D13 Turbo Compound (above). Combined with the sleek aerodynamics of the new VNL series, customers spec’ing the D13 Turbo Compound can see up to a 7.5 percent increase in fuel efficiency. performance they want along with the efficiency their business requires.

New VNL Daycab and VNL 400 models equipped with the Volvo D11 deliver up to 425 horsepower and 1,550 lb.-ft. of torque, combined with an up to 2.5 percent fuel efficiency improvement compared with the

previous D11 engine. New VNL models spec’d with the D13 feature up to 500 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque.

All VNL models come standard with the Volvo I-Shift AMT, with the I-Shift with Crawler Gears available as an option. All I-Shift AMTs come with I-See, an intelligent cruise control system that memorizes the topography of the road to optimize shifting and throttle applications to save fuel.

Volvo proprietary engines and the I-Shift AMT are monitored by Volvo Remote Diagnostics, a factory-installed telematics system that proactively monitors and diagnoses critical engine, transmission and aftertreatment trouble codes.

If an issue is detected, Volvo Action Service (VAS) agents will assess the severity and provide the vehicle’s designated contact with actionable information to determine whether to keep operating the truck or take it for immediate service.

ASIST, Volvo’s online service management tool, captures all details from the service process, giving the driver, customer contact and dealer real-time visibility to case status, repair scheduling, and parts and service bay availability. Volvo Remote Diagnostics is standard on the VNL series.

KALMAR OTTAWA

Kalmar Ottawa T2 Electric Terminal Tractor

O

ttawa, Kansas – Kalmar USA and TransPower have announced they will enter into a 5-year supply agreement and showcased the first joint-effort zero emission, battery-electric version of Kalmar?s Ottawa T2 terminal tractor at the Advanced Clean Technology (ACT) Expo in Long Beach, California.

Kalmar, a global manufacturer of terminal tractors and other cargo handling equipment, and TransPower, an advanced clean energy technology company, have been collaborating since 2011 to develop and perfect advanced, zero-emission electric terminal tractors. The terminal tractor on display was completed as part of a glider program in which TransPower

completed the build by installing their drive system at their Escondido, California facility. Under Kalmar?s new supply agreement with TransPower, Kalmar will manufacture electric terminal tractors on its own assembly line in Ottawa, Kansas, using parts shipped to Kansas by TransPower. The first prototype units are scheduled to be produced in the Ottawa plant in the fourth quarter but no full production dates are available at this time.

TransPower has been developing their ?ElecTruck?? drive system on past models of Kalmar terminal tractors and have accumulated approximately 40,000 miles of commercial use in a variety of demanding applications since 2013. At the California distribution

center of retail giant IKEA, a Kalmar Ottawa-TransPower electric tractor has become IKEA?s preferred tractor since 2014, due to its high reliability and low operating cost.

Terminal tractors powered by TransPower?s electric drive technology have eliminated tons of toxic pollutants and CO2 emissions, while reducing the exposure of tractor operators to noise and truck vibrations. The cost of energy for an electric tractor can be as little as 3 cents per mile, if the tractor is powered by solar energy such as the one being operated by IKEA. For a comparable diesel tractor, the energy cost is closer to 75 cents per mile.

For more information contact Chris Booth, Kalmar Vice President,

Terminal Tractors, email chris.booth@ kalmarglobal.com, call 785.229.7117; Joshua Goldman, TransPower Vice President of Business Development, email Joshua@transpowerusa.com, call 858.449.4629.

KENWORTH TRUCKS

Kenworth T680, T880 & T880S Available with ISL G Near Zero Emissions Natural Gas Engine

K

irkland, Washington – Kenworth’s T680 on-highway flagship and T880 and T880S vocational leaders are now available for order with the Cummins Westport ISL G Near Zero NOx emissions natural gas engine.

The 8.9-liter Cummins Westport ISL G Near Zero is rated at 320 hp and 1,000 lb-ft of torque. Exhaust emissions of the ISL G NZ are 90 percent lower than the current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) NOx limit of 0.2 g/bhp-hr, and also meet the 2017 EPA greenhouse gas (GHG) emission requirements, according to Cummins Westport. The new engine uses advanced engine calibration, a

unique maintenance-free, threeway catalyst after-treatment system, and a closed crankcase ventilation system to help achieve this reduction.

The engine operates on 100 percent natural gas, which can be carried on the vehicle in either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) form.

The Cummins Westport ISL G Near Zero engine is also compatible with renewable natural gas (RNG), which can provide even further reductions in GHG emissions.

“The Kenworth T680 and T880 specified with the ISL G Near Zero emissions engine are ideal for regional haul, vocational and refuse fleets focused on decreasing their

environmental impact and reducing operating costs,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth Marketing Director.

Kenworth showcased a new Kenworth T880S mixer – its first truck equipped with the Cummins Westport ISL G Near Zero emissions engine – in partnership with CalPortland and McNeilus at the Alternative Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in May in Long Beach, California.

Is my ad seen by my target demographic?

Answer: Only if your target audience reads the publication, or visits the website.

Readershp vs Receivership… what’s the difference?

Is the publication I advertise in actually read… or does it end up in the waiting room pile?

There are a multitude of trade publications received monthly… and there just isn’t time to read them all, so there are usually one or two that become favorites… and they are the ones that provide the desired editorial.

Answer: The decision makers in all trucking operations prefer editorial covering new techology, parts & components, and truck maintenance.
