Vikas Gupta of Arrow Truck Sales Once Again Named Top In Company F
or the sixth time in the past seven years, Vikas Gupta has earned the distinction of top sales representative for Arrow Truck Sales, Inc. during 2010. Gupta, based in Toronto was top sales person out of all Arrow sales representatives in the US and Canada. “It’s truly an honor for any of our sales representatives to earn this award, but to achieve this level of success on such a consistent basis is even that much more impressive,” emphasized Frank Oliveira, formerly Vice President of Arrow Canada and now Vice President with Volvo Trucks North America. “Vikas is a consummate professional,” said Adam Davy, Arrow’s Toronto Branch Manager. “His strong

work ethic, complete dedication to our industry and customers, as well as his desire to improve and learn something new everyday is truly inspiring – and his customers obviously appreciate that.” Now in his seventh year with Arrow Truck Sales, Gupta has, repeatedly, earned some of the company’s highest honors including the Diamond Level sales award and exclusive President’s Club member. But perhaps most impressive is the fact that about 80% of Gupta’s truck sales come from repeat customers and / or customer referrals. Gupta emphasized the keys to his success are really quite simple. “I thoroughly understand my customers’ requirements and buying criteria. Based upon that, I offer them only the equipment they need and can afford. I always suggest they purchase only what they really need to get the job done. After all, I’m only successful if my customers are successful too. It should be a win-win relationship!”
Police began enforcing the ban on hand-held cell phone use while driving, helping to make Ontario’s roads safer effective February 1st, 2010. The law helps police get distracted drivers off our roads and while at the same time, helping to change driver behaviour. Since it became law until the end of last year, 48,975 tickets were issued to drivers caught breaking the law - about 147 tickets a day. Ontario’s distracted driving law makes it illegal for drivers to talk, text, dial or email using hand-held cell phones or communication and entertainment devices while driving. It also prohibits the viewing of display screens unrelated to driving such as laptop computers or DVD players.

CTA Applauds Final Installment of Meal Tax Deductibility for Truck Drivers T
E

P
he Department of Finance has increased the tax deductible portion of meal expenses for long-haul truck drivers to 80 per cent, taking the final step towards fulfilling the commitment the federal government made in 2007 to restore the meal tax deductibility to 80 per cent by 2011. The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) welcomes this change, which will allow Canadian long-haul truck drivers to enjoy the same meal deduction allowances as their US counterparts. “CTA is pleased that the Minister of Finance and the Government of Canada are continuing to honour their
commitment, despite being under fiscal pressure,” said CTA CEO David Bradley. “The government deserves a great deal of credit for continuing to be responsive to the needs of the trucking industry and truck drivers in particular.” In order to be eligible for the tax deduction drivers must generally be away for at least 24 consecutive hours and the purpose of the trip must be to transport goods beyond a 160 km radius from the home location. In addition the vehicle must have a GVWR of greater than 11,788 kg.
Metrolinx and The Regional Municipality of York have announced the award of nearly $250 million for two design/build contracts for early construction work on York Viva Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) dedicated rapidway lanes, part of York Region’s vivaNext rapid transit plan. The first contract is for work along Davis Drive in the Town of Newmarket. The Davis Drive rapidways will extend 2.6 kilometres from Yonge Street to Roxborough Road and Patterson Street - just east of Southlake Regional Health Centre. The project includes installing six retaining walls, widening Keith Bridge, and removing and relocating light poles. This early construction activity prepares Davis Drive for widening and the construction of rapidways. The early construction work will be completed in 2011 followed immediately by the start of construction on the widening and
rapidway construction activity. Construction is expected to be complete in 2014. The second contract is for the design and construction of a 7-kilometre rapidway along Highway 7 from Yonge Street to Warden Avenue at Enterprise Blvd in Markham. Early construction activity is now underway and the project will be completed in 2014. The contracts were awarded to the partnership of Kiewit-Ellis Don (KED). These projects are being funded through Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario working to transform regional transit expansion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. These projects are part of Metrolinx’s $1.4 billion commitment to improving transit in York Region, just one component of a larger $9.5 billion commitment in the first five priority projects of Metrolinx’s Regional Transportation Plan, The Big Move.

In support of The National Year of Road Safety 2011, Young Drivers of Canada and State Farm have partnered to create the first online national driving test. The National Driving Test initiative encourages safe and smart driving practices across the country and was designed to not only engage Canadians to easily test their driving skills but also put a special focus on distracted driving. This is an interactive online video competition that challenges players to score higher than other contestants. The online contestants in this series are every day drivers, ranging in ages from 17 to 61. To go a step further, players can also invite their friends and family to try to beat their scores. Participants will be able to judge the level of risks in the various road scenarios and learn how safe a driver they really are. Peter Christianson, President of Young Drivers of Canada says, “The most recent statistics from
Transport Canada report 2,767 fatalities and a total of 194,177 injuries. Collisions are predictable and preventable and our hope is that in Canada’s National Year of Road Safety, we can all focus on working together to change risky driving behaviours and help save lives.” Individuals who participate in this free video competition will have the opportunity to identify driving risks and learn valuable solutions to common driving problems. Each road scenario in the series will have tips on how to respond effectively to that situation. If the viewer is paying attention they should be able to click on the specific source of the risk. “We strongly believe that The National Driving Test takes an innovative approach to the growing concern of distracted driving and this is an important mandate for us,” says Barbara Bellissimo, Senior Vice President and Chief Agent, State Farm Canada. There will also be a CogniFit divided attention task available in each episode. “There is research that shows that 24% of new drivers, regardless of age, have cognitive weaknesses that put them at significant risk of crashing. These skills can be improved through CogniFit assessment and training,” says Peter Christianson. The National Driving Test can be found on Bell Sympatico at http://autos.sympatico.ca/safety-guide/7650/national-driving-test

the buzz is all about fuel efficiency, saving money and the environment. If you have never driven with fuel efficiency in mind, now is the time to start. Make it a priority and watch your pennies pile up. You could save as much as $500 a year in fuel costs and cut your carbon dioxide emissions by over 1,000 kilograms. 2. B e come aware of your driving style and modify it accordingly – Are you aggressive, rushed, average or fuel-efficient? Natural Resources Canada identifies these four driving behaviours as significant factors in fuel efficiency and driving. Aggressive drivers fo-

cus on speed, rushed drivers focus on saving time, average drivers react to changes in traffic whereas fuel-efficient drivers are always mindful of how their driving will affect their fuel consumption. 3. Think before you drive – Can you take public transit? One bus takes up to 40 cars off the road, saves as much as 70,000 litres of fuel and prevents nine tonnes of air pollutants from being emitted each year. Can you work from home? Telecommuting one day a week cuts the amount of fuel used to go to work by 20 per cent that week. Can you plan your route? Allow for fewer stoplights, intersections and pedestrian traffic. 4. Avoid unnecessary idling – Some Canadians spend about four per cent of their annual fuel consumption idling their vehicles. In fact, for every 10 minutes of idling one third of a litre of fuel is wasted for an average vehicle. Experts recommend turning off your engine when you are parked for more than 60 seconds, except in traffic. Also, the best way to warm up your vehicle in cold weather is to run it for two to three minutes and then drive it. 5. Maintain your vehicle – Proper tire inflation, reducing extra weight, removing roof racks and following the maintenance schedule in your vehicles owners’ manual, all help to keep your fuel consumption in check. Driving with fuel efficiency in mind takes time, knowledge, steady hands and feet and a sense of commitment. NRCan has more tips, tricks and trivia at www.vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca.

New Road Safety Strategy Aims to Ensure Canada Has World’s Safest Roads
The Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety have approved a new five-year Road Safety Strategy under which Canada will continue to strive to have the safest roads in the world. The strategy will be used by individual jurisdictions to develop federal/provincial/territorial action plans to address key highway safety concerns and priorities for their respective and unique situations. Road Safety Strategy 2015 will carry on the progress that has been achieved in reducing fatalities and serious injuries on Canada’s roads since 1996 when Canada’s first road safety plan was introduced. The provisional fatality total for 2009 is 8.7% lower than the number of road users killed in traffic crashes during 2008 and represents a 25.1% reduction over the 1996-2001 baseline figure. This is the lowest death toll on record in Canada in more than 60 years. The new Road Safety Strategy is the result of a broad collaborative effort between all levels of government, public and private road safety stakeholders and the enforcement community. It provides each province and territory with a wide variety of solutions to address key road safety risks initiatives that are focused on road users, the vehicles they use and the roadway infrastructure on which they operate. The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) will lead the implementation of the strategy and support stakeholders in the process. The unveiling of Road Safety Strategy 2015 coincides with the National Year of Road Safety in 2011, an ambitious undertaking which aims to raise public awareness and promote road safety activities nationwide. The Canadian Global Road Safety Committee, whose membership is made up of injury prevention and road safety professionals, is leading this initiative. It is expected that Road Safety Strategy 2015 will continue to inspire all Canadians to work together toward the common objective of making Canada’s roads the safest in the world. Road Safety Strategy 2015 will be officially launched at CCMTA’s 2011 Annual Meeting, to be held May 15-19, 2011, in Victoria, B.C.

(NC)—Whether you’re driving to work, running errands or heading up to the cottage, chances are that you will unfortunately be in at least one minor collision at some point in your life. Avoid becoming a nervous wreck by knowing what to do when a collision occurs. After you’ve been in an accident, experts agree that you should remember to: • Move your vehicle off the road - If the collision is minor, move your car into the nearest parking lot or driveway. • Call 911 - Have your driver’s license and proof of insurance ready when you make the call. Once the authorities have been notified, write down the other driver’s name, insurance details and policy number, as well as all information related to their car. • Do not discuss accident details - Avoid conversations or disputes surrounding the accident by not recounting the details with the other drivers and passengers, and never admit fault. • Keep your claim number - The officer onsite will assess
By Gillian Birch
the accident and determine who is at fault. They will then write a report and give you what is called an accident claim number. It is very important to keep this information handy and in a safe place for future reference. • Call your insurance company - If the accident is your fault, call your insurance company as soon as possible. If it’s not, use the other driver’s policy information to avoid paying a deductible. • Report to a collision centre - By law, drivers involved in a collision must report into a Collision Reporting Centre (CRC) within 24 hours. “Even the most minor collision can be quite stressful but the process involved in getting back on the road is quite simple,” says Mauro Convertini, insurance and claims expert for Aviva Canada. “Once you’ve visited your local CRC, your insurance company will actually handle the damage appraisal, give you a repair estimate and arrange for a rental car.” More information is available from your insurance broker or online at avivacanada.com.

enworth Truck Company and Sprint are involved in a partnership to provide mobile connectivity for the revolutionary Kenworth NavPlus, a PACCAR proprietary navigation and business technology system for Kenworth Class 5-8 trucks. “As the core development partner, Sprint is proud to integrate our advanced network connectivity into Kenworth NavPlus, which will also offer telematics, navigation, diagnostics and business system features,” said Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, while addressing the Detroit Economic Club. “Our machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless technology helps companies reduce emissions, cut costs and raise performance.” “Sprint is a technology leader and we look forward to offering its outstanding mobile connectivity service as a benefit to customers in Kenworth trucks factory-equipped with Kenworth NavPlus,” said Bill Kozek, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR vice president. The in-dash, NavPlus technology system utilizes a high-resolution, 7-inch color screen and 8 gigabytes of memory. Together, navigation and business systems will be provided with vehicle connectivity services for drivers to easily and safely use while traveling. When a truck is not in motion, the driver will be able to access the Internet and send and receive e-mails to enhance communications with dispatchers, logistics providers and shippers. The Sprint connectivity service is available as an option. NavPlus also includes hands-free phoning with Bluetooth, back-up camera options, vehicle data, and audio controls, including satellite radio, AM/FM, CD, MP3 and USB. When launched in 2011, Kenworth NavPlus will become standard on Kenworth trucks with all premium interior trim offerings and on diesel-electric hybrid vehicles. The system also will be available as an upgrade on any Kenworth standard trim package. NavPlus was developed on the award-winning Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive 7 software platform.

CN to launch EcoRide, the first environmentally friendly container chassis in the North American intermodal industry
CN will launch EcoRide in April 2011. EcoRide is a new container chassis expected to reduce fuel consumption in CN’s trucking of containers to and from its intermodal terminals by eight to 10 per cent. The EcoRide chassis, developed in collaboration with a Canadian supplier, is equipped with a series of features that reduce fuel consumption, hence greenhouse gas emissions: side skirts to reduce aerodynamic drag, a weight 15 per cent less than conventional CN chassis, and low-rolling resistance tires on each axle instead of the normal four tires per axle. CN will debut this new chassis in Ontario. Jean-Jacques Ruest, CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer, said: “CN stands for innovation and is continuously looking for ways to reduce its energy consumption and carbon footprint. After the successful launch last year of EcoTherm, our new greener insulated container, the CN team started to explore other opportunities to provide customers better supply chain solutions that reduce carbon emissions. “CN’s next steps in environmental innovation will include testing hybrid container cranes, in-terminal hybrid trucks, and energy efficient generators. CN is deploying the hybrid shunt trucks in ground switching of containers on chassis at our Brampton Intermodal Terminal this month.” Kraft Canada, a major CN intermodal customer, is taking a comprehensive approach to its sustainability program. “We are working very closely with CN to develop a low carbon supply chain,” said Craig McLaughlin, vice-president, supply chain, for Kraft Canada. “We appreciate that CN continues finding new ways to be more energy efficient. CN is aligned with Kraft’s focus on those suppliers that deliver the most value, which includes great service, innovation and reduced carbon emissions.” For shipments moving more than 1,000 miles, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says intermodal transport cuts fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by 65 per cent, compared with truck transport alone.

The transportation shake up (NC)—For those who live in rural areas, giving up your vehicle and choosing to travel solely by alternate modes of transportation is difficult. However, driving less and looking to other transportation options to supplement your travel is do-able – and your health, community and environment will thank you. Active transportation: Active transportation, or ‘humanpowered travel” refers primarily to walking and cycling but can also include in-line skating, skateboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and even kayaking and canoeing. Although not all options are possible in every community, biking to the convenience store or walking to your neighbour’s dinner party can have multiple benefits: • Improve health by fighting obesity and chronic illnesses • Offers independent mobility for children, youth and seniors • Emission free, making it a powerful weapon against climate change and air pollution Public transportation: Public transportation in small and rural communities is different than in larger urban centres. Many smaller communities do not have large-scale
public transit services, but do have a variety of “social transportation” services for groups such as seniors, persons with disabilities or schoolchildren. Although more coordination is required for these services, sending our kids to school on a school bus or suggesting a service bus to your aging parents also have benefits: • Offers families alternative ways to travel with small children • Helps seniors who may otherwise have their travel restricted • Produces less emissions compared to each rider taking their own personal vehicle On top of these more sustainable modes of transportation, carpooling may be a convenient option for people who have a common destination, such as co-workers. If you do have to drive alone, help the environment by choosing not to idle your engine, accelerating and braking gently, and adhering to speed limits. Additionally, as 1995 model year and older vehicles produce 19 times more smog forming emissions than a newer vehicle, choosing a newer vehicle can make a huge difference. You can find out more on this topic online at www.retireyourrideca before March 31, 2011.
(NC)—Make sure you practice proper tire inflation techniques this winter or you could find yourself calling a tow truck, or worse, an ambulance. Since the air pressure in tires supports 95 per cent of the weight of your car, it’s absolutely imperative that you inflate your tires to just the right pressure, especially in winter when tires lose their pressure faster in colder weather. Under-inflating or over- inflating your tires increases your fuel consumption and therefore your costs and increases the risk of damage and injury to you, your passengers and your vehicle. Follow these tips from Transport Canada for maintaining proper winter tire pressure: • Measure your tire pressure at least once a month; • Measure the pressure when the tires are cold (after two hours or two kilometres of driving). Tires lose pressure when the air temperature gets colder (about one pound per square inch (seven kilopascals) for every 5°C drop in temperature). Tires may also lose a certain amount of pressure due to their permeability (about two PSI or 14 kPa per month); • Inflate your tires to the rec-
ommended pressures printed on the label inside your car door or in your owner’s manual; • Use a high quality pressure gauge such as those sold at automotive supply stores; • Under-inflation increases rolling resistance, which reduces tread life and increases fuel consumption. It can also lead to sudden tire failure. Without enough air, the sides of a tire bend and flex too much. This builds up heat, which can cause serious damag. • Operating a vehicle with just one tire underinflated by eight psi (56 kPA) can reduce the life of the tire by 15,000 km and can increase the vehicle’s fuel consumption by four per cent; • Over-inflation can be a problem, too. An over-inflated tire rides on just the centre portion of the tread. The smaller contact area means reduced grip on the road, leading to a harsh ride, handling issues (such as steering and stopping problems) and increased wear on tires and suspension components; Read more tire safety and maintenance on the Transport Canada website at www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/tp/ tp2823/inflating.htm.

Three tips to give you the upper hand when negotiating a car deal (NC)—For many people, visiting a new or used car showroom is a daunting exercise. You search for a new car maybe once every three to five years, while the dealer negotiates deals day-in and day-out. How can you get the upper hand when negotiating a deal? Josh Bailey is director of analytics for Canadian Black Book, the leading authority on new and used vehicle values for 50 years. Before starting your new car search, he suggests these three tips: 1. Ask your friends and relatives if they have any experience with the dealer you are thinking to visit. Referrals and repeat customers are critical to dealers, so if they have sold a vehicle to one of your friends or family in the past tell the dealer they sent you. It provides a point of connection right off the bat. 2. Research details about the car you are thinking to purchase or lease, the value of your

trade-in and the dealer reputation. The Internet is your best resource after friends and family. Spend time on www.canadianblackbook.com, look at the Better Business Bureau, the provincial vehicle governing body in your province, and any peer review web sites that list car dealers. But use caution and common sense: peer review sites can often be only the complainers looking for a soapbox. 3. Call the dealer with some questions before you visit. See how your call gets handled. Was it professional, hurried, friendly? This may be a gauge for the rest of your experience. 4. Once you have done your homework, relax and take a deep breath. Happy hunting. Contrary to popular belief, car dealers appreciate well-informed buyers. A little upfront work can give you an edge.

DILAWRI GROUP OF COMPANIES ADDS MISSISSAUGA’S 401 DIXIE AUTO MALL TO ITS PROPERTY PORTFOLIO 401 Dixie Auto Mall, the retail “auto campus” located at 5500 Dixie Road in Mississauga, has been purchased by Dilawri Group of Companies from ING Real Estate. A dynamic family-owned company, Dilawri Group is comprised of an expanding real estate division, investment holdings and 36 automobile dealerships across Canada. “As long standing tenants of 401 Dixie Auto Mall and with over 20 years of success in the retail automotive industry, we immediately recognized our unique position to maximize the mall’s potential for growth and seized the opportunity to purchase,” says Kap Dilawri, of Dilawri Group of Companies. The 30 acre site housing 243,841 square feet of property is comprised of 10 automobile dealerships, including: Ideal Honda, 401-Dixie Nissan, 401-Dixie Infiniti, Dixie Toyota, 401 Dixie Suzuki, 401 Dixie Hyundai, 401 Dixie Kia, and Dilawri Group’s owned and operated Dixie Mitsubishi, Ontario Mazda and their newly opened 401 Dixie Volkswagen; slated to become one of Volkswagen’s largest, premier “New Image” locations within the GTA.
Conveniently located just off the 401 in Canada’s 6th most populous city, the auto campus also houses a variety of restaurant chains including Kelsey’s, Montana’s, Subway / New York Fries, A&W / Country Style Bistro Deli and Teriyaki Experience, along with an Enterprise Rent-A-Car and an industrial building. Opened in 1988, 401 Dixie Auto Mall was originally designed to become Mississauga’s ultimate destination for retail automobile shopping, and according to Dilawri, the group intends to fully realize the mall’s initial vision with aggressive renovation and expansion plans. “In addition to our immediate plans to enhance the property with up-dated signage and new energy efficient lighting, we are in the midst of partnering with our tenants to revitalize the auto mall with a more contemporary look and feel to make it the premier choice of consumers in the market to purchase a vehicle.” Dilawri Group’s 401 Dixie “enhancement plan” is scheduled to commence in spring 2011 with an estimated renovation budget reaching $12 Million.

Town mouse or country mouse: Whether in the city or the suburbs, caution is key (NC)—No-one can predict what Mother Nature has in store for us this winter, but one thing is clear: by remembering a few simple tips from the Michelin experts, you can take the bite out of winter and its roads, whether you live in the city or the suburbs and whether it rains, hails, or snows. Town mice: avoid nasty surprises If you live in town, you are probably surrounded by high snow banks and roads that are often infrequently or inadequately cleared. How to cope? Think ahead. Avoid nasty surprises by respecting municipal parking signs. If your vehicle is stuck in a snow bank, the last thing you want to do is spin your tires. Instead, use a shovel to remove the snow from around the tires and under the vehicle and create a forward and backward rocking motion with the car. In town, traffic signals often force us to make frequent stops. It’s important to keep in mind that the condensation formed by the heat of cars in contact with the cold road surface creates ice – often hidden under snow. Another good reason to slow down and keep your distance – especially when stopping at intersections. Finally, be aware that leaving your car in an underground parking lot during the day and then exposing it to the winter cold at night may cause your tire pressure to fluctuate widely. It is thus vital to frequently check and adjust your tire pressure to avoid rapid tire wear, save gas, and, above all, ensure your own safety and that of other drivers. Country mice: keep your distance If you live in the suburbs and must travel long distances to and from work each day, don’t panic. When driving on the highway, keep an even longer distance than usual between you and the vehicle in front to help you maintain control of your car in case of a sudden stop. And, above all, be doubly cautious and slow down when approaching bridges, curves, and exits, which are often icier than usual. Finally, don’t put too much faith in technology. Electronic and mechanical systems such as ABS brakes and four-wheel drive systems are useless without good tires. Since your tires are the only contact between the road and your vehicle, they must achieve maximum grip. Such electronic options will not improve braking if your car is not equipped with good winter tires. Everything you need to know about winter driving with a single click More valuable tips about winter driving are available online at Michelin’s Winter Driving Academy, www.michelinwintercentre.com. This entertaining website, created by Canadian experts for Canadian drivers, offers videos, tips, and hints to help you keep control of your vehicle under the most difficult winter driving conditions.
