How do carrier contracts impact a shortage or lease operators? According to my research, there is a significant difference between the top and bottom carrier contracts. In the sixteen years of tracking, the net difference actually doubled. This means if the difference between top and bottom carriers in 1996 was $100, then in 2012 it was over $200. This phenomenon would be one of the many results of deregulation. Competition relentlessly pushes market prices through supply and demand. The net difference does not always imply something negative. The top carriers actually paid more while the worst carriers paid less (net), so for some it benefited while others were left in the cold. If someone talks to the old timers they often hear about the good old days, but were they really all that good? They claim the margins were much better, but were they really? If the margins have decreased as much as some old timers have implied, then the industry should have seen a huge drop in lease operators over the last couple decades. Was there? Turnover in the trucking industry is anywhere from 5-15% of all operators. They are either in the process of leaving the industry or entering it. For several years about 15% of operators left the industry while only 5% entered. Over the years the net number of operators logically decreased. Then for several years 15% of operators were new to the industry while only 5% were leaving. The net numbers of operators rise and fall like waves. Though operators definitely have left the industry, many have entered or returned. I have interviewed thousands of operators and drivers in the last two decades, conducted national surveys, read a lot of industry material and talked with many other

accountants and industry recruiters. It is my understanding that a significant amount of drivers and operators (if given an option) would not drive truck any more (estimates as high as 50%). So why do they stay? In the end it’s the predictability of their return on effort combined with a perceived (or real) lack of viable options. In other words, they don’t think they have any other choice. The numbers seem to be much higher in company drivers than in operators, but there is still a significant amount of operators who (given a reasonable offer) would choose to come off the road. The amount of operators searching to sell varies considerably from year to year, and even season to season, but it seems to range from 2035%. This means a very significant percentage of drivers and operators are presently not fully committed to the industry. Though operators only represent about 10% of all

truck drivers, they do represent a significant force within the industry. They tend to hold much stronger opinions and may disproportionately influence perception within the industry. Many company drivers respect operators so much they even tend to view them as industry leaders. It is generally known that operators are 25% more productive than company drivers. This is the common understanding because operators have a vested interest in their own success, pushing themselves more than many drivers would. Loss of too many operators would create a disproportionate level of stress within the industry. Since the concentration of operators is so diverse between carriers the impact would be difficult to predict. The carriers with a small percentage of operators may hardly even notice, while carriers with a high percentage may border on collapse. Even though the potential impact of operator loss may be significant, most carrier owners and industry leaders are not concerned. They have accustomed themselves to living with dire warnings of industry collapse for decades. b

Bridgestone Opens First US Giant Off Road Radial Tire Manufacturing Facility Extending its leadership in the heavy-duty, earthmoving tire segment, Bridgestone Americas recently announced the opening of its first giant off road radial tire plant. Based in Aiken County, South Carolina, the 1.5 millionsquare-foot manufacturing facility produces various off road radial tire products used to equip heavy haul trucks in mining and aggregates applications. A leader in off road radial tire technology, the new off road radial tire plant strengthens Bridgestone’s ability to meet the needs of its global customer base in this key segment. Kazuhisa Nishigai, COO and Board Member of Bridgestone Corporation, and Gary Garfield, President and CEO of Bridgestone Americas, were joined at a grand opening ceremony by South Carolina State Senator Nikki Setzler; South Carolina State Rep-

resentative Bill Clyburn; South Carolina State Representative Bill Hixon; South Carolina State Representative Bill Taylor; Aiken County Council Chairman Ronnie Young; and Aiken, Edgefield and Saluda Counties Economic Development Partnership President & CEO Will Williams. “Bridgestone has made significant investments in technology and training to ensure we are producing the world’s leading off road radial tires in North America,” said Nishigai. “We remain highly committed to our mining customers around the globe and will continue to make the right investments for this important segment of our business.” In 2011, Bridgestone announced a planned $970 million investment to build the company’s first U.S.-based off road radial tire plant, as well as expand production capacity at Bridgestone’s steel cord

manufacturing facilities in Clarksville, Tennessee, and Saga, Japan. The opening of Bridgestone’s new Aiken County Off Road Radial Tire Plant completes the largest portion of this planned investment. The Clarksville and Saga locations are suppliers of the Aiken County Off Road Radial Tire Plant, as steel cord is a key component used to build large and ultra-large off road radial tires. “Engineering large and ultra-large mining tires is a highly technical process, and Bridgestone has a long tradition of being a leader in bringing these tires to market. The opening of a new off road radial tire plant in South Carolina is a strategic business decision that will give Bridgestone the capacity to build these tires domestically and improve our supply systems globally,” continued Garfield. “Long term, the mining segment will grow,

and we are now betterpositioned to respond more quickly, efficiently and reliably to the needs of our customers.” Bridgestone’s Off Road Radial Tire Plant is the second tire manufacturing plant Bridgestone has built in Aiken County, South Carolina. The company has operated a passenger tire facility in Graniteville since 1998. Approximately 350 people now work at the new Aiken County Off Road Radial Tire Plant, and Bridgestone expects to create an additional 200 positions when the location reaches full production in the next two to three years. At present, there are approximately 2,000 people working at Bridgestone’s two tire plants in Aiken County. “South Carolina and Bridgestone have a long and successful history of working together, and we are excited to celebrate this next chapter in our growing partnership,” said Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina. “Bridgestone is a great South Carolina company, employing thousands of our citizens and playing an active and positive role in their local com-

Page T-5 munity. We look forward to seeing the new ORR plant reach full production and bring even more jobs to Aiken County.” The new Aiken County Off Road Radial Tire Plant was constructed with many sustainable features and materials in alignment with Bridgestone’s global commitment to the environment. The plant is built to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design) Silver construction specifications. In addition, sustainable and advanced technologies from Firestone Building Products, a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas, were used throughout the facility. The new plant relies on UltraPly TPO roofing, ISO 95+ insulation, UnaFoam Insulated Metal Wall Panels, pavers and geomembrane for retention ponds and water harvesting areas. b

Fleets Plan To Boost Truck Purchases In 2015 Results of the Q4 2014 Fleet Sentiment Report survey by CK Commercial Vehicle Research (CKCVR) show solid fleet purchasing plans for the first half of 2015 Class 8 deliveries. The Q4 FSR buying index (which measures the number of fleets planning to place orders for trucks and trailers in the next 3 months) is up 2% yearover-year. Even though the numbers are strong, fleets have reported that their hands

are tied when it comes to adding capacity because of the lack of qualified drivers. Chris Kemmer, consultant at CKCVR, said, “over and over we hear from the fleets reporting ‘we’d buy more equipment if we had more drivers’. Most are in a good place financially with plenty of available freight but without drivers, additional trucks don’t make sense. Replacement demand for the time being remains strong.” b

Owner-operator Mark Tricco of Bison Transport is a hero. He’s an instructor and leader to other drivers. He’s an inspiration to his family. Over the years, he’s overcome the most extreme challenges and even crisis to deliver your freight. And for his dedication and service throughout his amazing 33-year career, Tricco is now the Canadian National Driver of the Year. The award, established by the Canadian Trucking Alliance and sponsored by Volvo Trucks Canada, is the highest honour bestowed upon a truck driver in Canada who has maintained a collisionfree driving record and demonstrated exemplary professionalism both on and off the road. With over 3 million miles under his belt, Tricco, who calls Brandon, Man. home, has driven various types of equipment and has hauled lumber, heavy machinery, reefer and general freight – all collision free. “He is a professional driver who can drive anything you put him in and do it perfectly,” says Don Strueber, President of Bison Transport. “His knowledge and experience as well as his compassion for others is what makes him truly a top professional driver.” Over the years this driver has received numerous commendations for his outstanding driving skills and courtesy to other motorists. As an owner-op, he can perform most of the truck maintenance and repairs himself. He is a trainer and mentor to other drivers at Bison. He learned early on in his career about safety vigilance and the price that can be paid for negligence. As a new driver,

he once came across the scene of a horrific accident where fatalities were involved. Being one of the first on scene, he immediately jumped in and started administering aid. He remained there for seven hours assisting the OPP. He says that these unfortunate incidents do occur and he makes it his mission to ensure he is never the cause of one. Co-workers describe him as easy-going, always chatty and someone you can always go to for advice. Dispatchers, fellow drivers or even company managers frequently seek him out for his views on a situation. Tricco has given much of himself to the industry, but never at the cost of family. While on the road, he is always in communication with his wife Melody and three adult children – evidenced by

his cell phone bill. In the last few years a close family member has faced some health issues – a situation that is difficult enough for anybody to deal with, but especially for someone who works on the open road away from home for days at a time. Still, he has continued to work through this tough time and manages to be there for appointments and to provide emotional support. He says that fortunately for him, he still has the love of his wife Melody, who is his biggest cheerleader. Together they have overcome long distances, tough family situations and varying life crises. “There are countless professional truck drivers in Canada, but few who have achieved what Mark has under such trying circumstances,” says CTA President Bradley. “On behalf of CTA and the other provincial trucking associations, I am proud to honour such as courageous, dedicated professional as Canada’s top truck driver.” The CTA-Volvo Trucks Canada National Truck Driver of the Year is selected among all of the year’s provincial Driver of the Year recipients by a panel of judges made up of representatives from Transport Canada, the Traffic Industry Research Foundation and the Canada Safety Council. b

Altman Plants Grows With New Fleet Of Kenworth T270s It’s the Altman way. The renowned nursery is known for its due diligence and attention to detail to create beautiful and robust plants and flowers. It’s what’s enabled the Vista, Calif.based nursery to create some of the most soughtafter specialty plants in the country. Its cactus collection alone is North America’s largest. Overall, the company is the second largest producer in the US - up from No. 5 in 2013. Altman’s has grown from a backyard operation, started by Ken and Deena Altman in 1985, to one where seven growing facilities, from California to Florida, raise more than 1,000 varieties of cactus and succulents, along with flowers and flowering shrubs, vegetables and bedding plants. Throughout Southern California, medium duty Kenworth T270s move

loads of Altman Plants to big box stores (Home Depot, Lowes, and WalMart) along with traditional home and garden locations. Altman Plants’ two Southern California nurseries - located in San Diego and Riverside counties, are the company’s largest. The Riverside facility alone boasts 670 acres of growing terrain, while San Diego has over 350 acres, along with 3 million square feet of greenhouse space. To support the San Diego and Riverside facilities, a fleet of more than 100 trucks transport plants during its peak season (March through June). That includes 42 medium duty trucks, which handle deliveries of up to 150 miles round-trip throughout Southern California. Eight Class 8 trucks, on lease, are used for plant distribution throughout the Lower 48. An addi-

tional 60 rental trucks (a mix of medium duty and long-haul) finish off distribution during the busy season. Recently the company completed more ‘due diligence’ when it decided to upgrade its short-haul fleet. “We did a tremendous amount of homework in deciding which medium duty truck would lead us into the future,” said Jim Hessler, Altman Plants Southern California general manager. “We looked at all the different brands and narrowed it down to three finalists. We then brought those trucks to our facility for a test drive and walkaround with our drivers, maintenance supervisor, and operations folks. The clear-cut winner was Kenworth’s T270. We were so impressed we have decided to standardize on that model as we move forward.”

The company took delivery of its initial 12 Kenworth T270s in the spring from Inland Kenworth - El Cajon. The trucks are outfitted with 24-foot aluminium boxes and are powered by the PACCAR PX-7 engine rated at 240 hp, and driven through Allison 5-speed transmissions. According to Hessler, reliability, driver friendliness, ease of service, and dealer support all came into play in the selection process. “It was clear that the Kenworth T270 was built with the driver in mind,” said Hessler. “It’s a very comfortable truck and one that’s easy to get in and out of. Each truck could make just one delivery to a big-box store, or it could make 10 stops in a day. So, it’s important to us to give our drivers a truck that’s comfortable and one they want to drive, and we feel Kenworth is that truck.” During the walkaround of each of the contesting trucks, Hessler said the drivers not only sat-in and compared cab appointments;

Page T-7 they looked at the differences between trucks when it came to pretrip inspections. “They pointed out how all the fluid checks were on one side of the Kenworth little things like that are important to drivers,” Hessler said. “Checks are a necessary evil and if a truck is well thought out and designed right; it makes life easier for our drivers and our service technicians. We like that.” Since the Kenworths are domiciled at Altman’s Riverside and San Diego facilities, the company works with both Inland Kenworth’s Fontana and El Cajon locations. “We have the utmost confidence in them,” said Hessler. “Inland Kenworth took the time to have its service manager meet with us. We discussed everything from parts availability, to parts costs and service support from the service department. We came away impressed.” From the operational side, Hessler said Altman’s plans to run the trucks with no end in sight. “We don’t have

a trade schedule and I fully expect these trucks to be running long after I’m gone,” joked Hessler. “I know Kenworth has a high residual value which speaks volumes about their longevity and reliability. And I know first-hand from previous jobs how well Kenworths hold up and the appeal they have to drivers. Once, we had a 14-year old Kenworth among several newer trucks. Even though it was old, all the drivers wanted to drive the Kenworth. That stuck with me.” Behind the wheel of the Kenworth T270s are the company’s safest drivers. “Since everyone wanted to drive the new trucks, we had to come up with a fair way to decide who gets to drive them,” related Hessler. It was a fair and creative approach. Hessler reviewed all driving records and those with the most accident-free miles got the keys to the Kenworth. “This way it was a reward for those drivers, and an incentive for the others. It was a win-win for both the drivers and the company.” b

Safety A Top Reason For Switching To Winter Tires In Canada Bridgestone Americas recently announced the findings of a recent survey among Canadians highlighting the winter preparedness of drivers across the country, and winter tire usage ranks high on the list. According to a survey commissioned by Bridgestone and fielded by Harris Poll in September and October 2014, nearly three in five Canadians (58 percent) have installed or plan to install winter tires this season, compared to only 21 percent of Americans. Safety was the number one reason why Canadians indicate they plan to install or have already installed winter tires on their vehicle (76 percent). Performance and geography were other leading factors influencing winter tire usage among Canadians. Two-thirds (68 percent) said they install winter tires because they perform better than other tires in winter conditions. Half of Canadians (49 percent) said they install winter tires because they live in an area that receives a lot of snow. “We are pleased to learn that most Canadians are making the switch to winter tires, and we wish more Americans would follow the lead of their

neighbors to the north,” said Robert Saul, Senior Product Manager, Bridgestone Americas. “Conditions on the road can change rapidly in the winter season. Winter tires are a smart choice because they have specialized technology that provides increased traction, braking and handling on cold, icy and snow-covered roads.” While all tire rubber stiffens as temperatures drop below freezing, the latest generations of winter tires maintain their elasticity even at extremely low temperatures. All-season tires are designed with both winter and summer performance in mind, but do not offer maximum performance in either season. Among Canadians who have driven in a winter storm, 8 in 10 (82 percent) drive more cautiously; 75 percent allow more time to get to where they’re going; and 63 percent minimize their driving to include only trips they must take. In addition: • 42 percent of Canadians have witnessed or been involved in an accident caused by winter conditions • 35 percent of Canadians have missed

a holiday gathering they were planning to drive to at some point due to winter weather • A third (33 percent) of Canadians expect to face winter weather while en route to holiday celebrations this year Overall, Canadians take winter preparedness seriously with 86 percent stating they make an effort to prepare their vehicle for winter driving by having an emergency kit in their vehicle and 86 percent say they check vehicle performance features such as tire pressure (69 percent), fluid levels (68 percent) and windshield wipers (66 percent) to prepare their vehicle for winter. Ice scrapers (68 percent) and jumper cables (52 percent) are the most popular items Canadian driver’s store in their emergency kits in their cars during the winter months. When it comes to preparing a vehicle for winter weather, Bridgestone suggests remembering the four B’s — battery, brakes, blades and Blizzak winter tires. Have an automotive service technician test the vehicle battery, check the brakes and inspect wiper blades to make sure all are in good working order, in addition to installing winter tires. b

New Kenworth Cabover Options For New Applications And Body Types Kenworth announces three, important new options for its medium duty cabovers that open the door for even more diverse customer applications and body customization. The new options for the Kenworth K270 and K370 cabovers include a compact back-of-cab exhaust system to allow more space for custom bodies; right-side steer for street sweeping, refuse and road maintenance applications; and expanded PACCAR PX-7 engine ratings. Kenworth’s clear frame rail package, introduced earlier this year, has been improved and provides nearly 12 more inches of space for body installations. The clear frame rail package and exhaust package gives body builders even more room for customization. It frees up frame space back-of-cab and allows body builders flexibility with their components.

“The result is that Kenworth cabover applications have been extended - literally. This combination also allows for additional transmission PTO clearance, which is a plus, especially for construction applications,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director. TThe K270 and K370 cabovers can now be specified with the PACCAR PX-7 engine at a new top rating of 260 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque, in addition to a new 200 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque rating. The standard engine rating is 220 hp with 520 lb-ft of torque, mated with an Allison 5-speed transmission. “More choices for engine ratings means finetuning the Kenworth cabovers to a customer’s specific application,” explained Swihart. “These are work trucks and the more we offer, the higher the degree of customization we can provide.” Compared to a typical

medium duty conventional, the K270 and K370 offer up to a 30 percent improvement in curb-to-curb turning, while a 63.4-inch BBC provides an extra 45 inches of payload room. The Kenworth K270 and K370 come with 22.5-inch tire and wheel packages. Kenworth also recently announced a 19.5-inch tire and wheel option for the K270 for easier curbside pick-up and delivery. Both truck models offer a standard air-ride driver’s seat and 2-person bench seating with storage underneath, with the single-seat option now also available. Wheelbases range from 142 to 242 inches in 12-inch increments, and Kenworth cabovers can accommodate bodies from 16 to 28 feet. A large 2,500-squareinch wraparound windshield combines with large side windows to give optimum visibility. “We continue to evolve our Kenworth K270 and K370 cabovers to serve new applications as these models gain customer recognition in the marketplace. There is almost no job these cabovers can’t do,” said Swihart. b

Bridgestone Passenger Tire Plant Recognized By Honda Bridgestone Americas announced that its Wilson, N.C. tire manufacturing plant recently received three Green Factory Environmental Achievement Recognitions at Honda’s 22nd annual Environmental, Safety and Ergonomics Symposium. The Bridgestone Wilson tire plant, which produces more than 32,000 passenger tires each day, continues to assert itself as a leader in sustainable manufacturing. Honda recognized the Wilson facility in three categories: energy reduction, natural resources and pollution prevention. “This is a remarkable accomplishment for Bridgestone and our Wilson teammates,” said Michael Darr, Wilson Plant Manager, Bridgestone Americas. “We are committed to practicing sustainable business and have implemented several initiatives to reduce the plant’s carbon footprint. We are honoured to be recognized by Honda for our achievements as we work toward

our corporate environmental mission of helping to ensure a healthy environment for current and future generations.” The Bridgestone Wilson tire plant earned an energy reduction award for achieving Superior Energy Performance (SEP) Mature Pathway ISO 50001 certification, a management system model of continuous improvement in energy performance. The plant was the first manufacturing facility in the world to attain this certification. Between 2001 and 2011, Bridgestone’s Wilson facility achieved an energy savings of 16.8 percent by switching the primary fuel source to natural gas in boilers, shutting down equipment when not in operation, promptly repairing steam and air leaks, insulating piping across the plant and executing several lighting optimization projects. The Honda award for natural resources was presented to the Wilson team

Mack Trucks Historical Museum Celebrates 30 Years Of History The Mack Trucks Historical Museum celebrated its 30th anniversary on Nov. 9th. Incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1984, the museum commemorates 114 years of Mack history through photos, memorabilia and a collection of vintage Mack truck models. “Through its many exhibits and displays, the Mack Museum brings to life the rich history of Mack Trucks,” said Stephen Roy, President of Mack Trucks North American Sales and Marketing. “From Mack’s beginning in Brooklyn to our current truck models, the museum chronicles how Mack became the American truck you can count on.” The museum is known worldwide as the ultimate source for information about Mack and Mack products. Nearly 6,000 people from all parts of the world visit the museum

each year. Mack enthusiasts from Australia and the Netherlands are the most frequent foreign visitors. “We also receive thousands of requests about specific vehicles,” said Don Schumaker, curator of the Mack Trucks Historical Museum. “If you have a vehicle identification number, chances are pretty good that we have information in our archives.” Mack’s connection to Hollywood movies such as Cars, Transformers and Die Hard with a Vengeance is on display, as well as the oldest existing Mack vehicle: a 40-horsepower, 28-passenger sightseeing bus. The museum also helps host Trucktoberfest, an annual appreciation event for the antique truck club organizations that support the museum. More than 300 people and 100 vintage trucks take part in this celebration of Mack heritage.

for its community education program that teaches area students about land and wildlife preservation. Bridgestone designated 350-acres of the Wilson plant site to create the Wilson Plant Freedom Wildlife Habitat and Refuge which is a Corporate Lands for Learning program certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council. In accordance with Bridgestone’s global environmental mission, the land serves as a classroom for many communityfocused educational and preservation activities. Pollution prevention recognition was awarded for the plant’s zero waste to landfill achievement, a claim validated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in January 2014. The Wilson plant is the first manufacturing facility of any kind to receive this validation from UL. The Wilson plant reached zero waste to landfill in early 2013 and has kept that rate intact to date. Bridgestone enjoys a long-standing, positive relationship with Honda, supplying original equipment and replacement fitments for many of the manufacturer’s vehicle models. b The Mack Trucks Historical Museum is housed in the Mack Customer Center in Allentown, PA. The Mack Customer Center offers a memorable experience that explores the history of Mack and demonstrates the industryleading manufacturing techniques that have kept Mack at the forefront of heavy-duty trucking. In addition to the museum, the Mack Customer Center is home to the Mack Heritage Center, a Mack showroom and a performance track where customers can test drive Mack vehicles. b

Dana Outlines Strategies For Managing Higher Torques Dana Holding Corporation has published a new white paper for the commercial trucking industry that addresses the need for fleets and original-equipment manufacturers to properly manage the higher driveline torques that are resulting from the increasing use of more fuel-efficient downsped engines. Titled “The Right Solution for Downsped Engines,” the paper is free and may be downloaded at: www.danacv.com/ downspeedingwhitepaper. Authored by Andy Nieman, Vice President of Global Engineering for Dana Commercial Vehicle Technologies, it describes the motivations behind downspeeding, what constitutes downspeeding, and fuel consumption and environmental benefits. The piece goes on to explain how the resulting higher torques place added stress on a vehicle’s axle, driveshaft, and inter-axle. Different strategies are

then presented for managing the higher torques, including Dana’s recommendation for specifying proper driveline components. These components, the paper explains, need to be carefully engineered, thoroughly tested, and proven to be fully capable of delivering the necessary performance in a hightorque environment. The Dana system optimized for engine downspeeding includes the Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle, the SPL 350 driveshaft, and the SPL 250 inter-axle shaft. The Spicer AdvanTEK 40 axle is now available with ratios that support the engine downspeeding efforts of truck manufacturers, including the industry’s fastest axle ratio of 2.26:1. The Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle was developed with faster axle ratios to handle the higher axle input torques that result from lowering engine rpm at highway cruise speed, which enables in-

creased overall vehicle efficiency of up to 2 percent. Ultimately, the Spicer AdvanTEK 40 axle can help a truck operating in a typical linehaul duty cycle save more than 2,700 gallons of diesel fuel over a five-year time span. This translates into up to $10,000 in estimated operating savings and a reduction of over 60,000 lbs in carbon dioxide output when compared with most tandem axle offerings on the road today. The other piece of Dana’s engine downspeeding solution is the SPL 350 driveshaft and SPL 250 inter-axle shaft, which have been engineered to maximize the efficiency and durability of the Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle and low rpm engines. The most robust heavy-duty driveshaft and inter-axle shaft in their class, the SPL 350 driveshaft and SPL 250 inter-axle shaft offer more power density, 40 percent more torque carrying capability, and double the bearing life over competitive designs. In fact, they are the only driveshaft and inter-axle shaft on the market today that can supply up to a million miles of life expectancy in a downsped engine powertrain. b

New Truck License Policy Launched To Stabilize Port Operations Under the leadership of Federal Minister of Transport, Lisa Raitt, and Provincial Transportation Minister, Todd Stone, and after months of consultation with Vince Ready, drivers, trucking companies, terminal operators, shippers and others, a new system of permitting container trucks to enter port property is being introduced. The changes will achieve a balance between the supply of trucks and the amount of container trucking work available at the port. They will also ensure drivers are paid fairly and have the opportunity to make a decent living. The new program is a combination of higher participation charges, enhanced truck age requirements aligned with Port Metro Vancouver’s current environmental standards, an expand-

ed provincial audit and oversight framework, improved tracking and measurement of port efficiency, and trucking company sponsorship of owner operator drivers. Specific details of the reforms have been communicated to trucking stakeholders and it is expected the changes will be finalized along with related provincial regulations in the coming days. The new system is expected to take effect February 1, 2015. Higher participation charges will be used to fund the new system on a cost recovery basis, to reduce the number of trucking companies from over 150 that currently serve the port, and to ensure drivers are appropriately protected from rampant undercutting that has created widespread driver discontent. Registration and licensing in the new system will be required only

for those requiring access to port marine container terminals. Drivers no longer registered to access port marine container terminals will be eligible to participate in a support program to help them transition out of container trucking and are, of course, free to provide driving services elsewhere. “It is expected these changes and others implemented as a result of the Joint Action Plan between the federal and provincial government and trucker representatives will not only bring stability to the port, but will also provide a level of container truck management that is unprecedented at other ports around the world,” said Peter Xotta, Vice President, Operations and Planning for Port Metro Vancouver. Other changes already implemented or planned include extended terminal hours, wait-time payments to drivers, a robust reservation system, the whistleblower Drayage ConfidenceLine, and GPS monitoring of all truck movements. b

Kenworth Releases New T680 Advantage Video Kenworth has taken fuel efficiency to new heights with its Kenworth T680 Advantage configuration introduced this year. Now, Kenworth has released an informative, 7-1/2-minute video on the key features of the Kenworth T680 Advantage that make it the most fuel-efficient truck in Kenworth’s product lineup. The Kenworth T680 Advantage features the optimized and fully integrated powertrain combination of the PACCAR MX-13 engine and Eaton Fuller Advantage 10-speed automated transmission, fuel-efficient 6x2 or 6x4 drive axles, and factory-installed Kenworth aerodynamic package. Additional fuel economy specifications include the Kenworth Idle Management System, tire pressure monitoring system and wide-base tires. The T680 Advantage provides fleets with a competitive advantage by helping to reduce operating

costs. The optimized powertrain and industry-leading aerodynamic features can cut fuel consumption dramatically, resulting in thousands of dollars in annual savings per vehicle. For driver retention and recruitment, the T680 Advantage offers a “driver first” design that optimizes comfort and provides an excellent “live, work and drive” environment. Drivers appreciate such features as the 2.1-meter wide quiet cab, adjustable advanced suspension seats with climate control, air-assisted hydraulic clutch, ergonomic dash, easy-to-use Driver Performance Centre, and LED interior lighting. The roomy 76-inch sleeper has 60 cubic feet of storage, full-height wardrobe cabinet, very comfortable mattress, sturdy rotating table, mount for a 23-inch flat screen TV, microwave hook-up, and drawerstyle refrigerator. b

Intelligent Powertrain Standard On Detroit DT12 Detroit Diesel Corporation (Detroit) recently announced that the Intelligent Powertrain Management (IPM) system will be standard on all Detroit DT12 automated manual transmissions paired with any heavy-duty Detroit engine, beginning in March 2015. IPM helps the powertrain operate as efficiently as possible, based on the truck’s momentum generated by the terrain.

250-203-0134 · www.royquip.com

2004 WESTERN STAR TRIDEM

The new Intelligent Powertrain Management integrates pre-loaded terrain maps and GPS into engine and transmission functions to know the route ahead, up to one mile. The main goal of IPM is to use the momentum of the truck most efficiently to reduce fuel consumption. It achieves this by preventing unnecessary shifts, predictively engine braking and fueling, shifting optimally, and

precisely controlling eCoast events. IPM is automatically ‘on’ once the driver engages cruise control, so benefits of IPM are variable based on the percent of time the driver operates in cruise control, and the variably of the route traveled. Since Intelligent Powertrain Management uses the momentum of the truck to most efficiently move down the road, a route with varied topography (but no extreme change in elevations) provides the optimal opportunity for IPM to improve fuel economy. IPM also integrates seamlessly with the new Detroit Assurance suite of

1-800-663-4802

safety systems to provide virtually effort free driving when cruise control is engaged. Safety is always the first priority, so while Assurance operates in tandem with IPM, safety actions always take priority over fuel economy. With these two systems integrated together, the IPM, Active Brake Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control work to not only ensure the drivers safety but also to provide smoothest and most fuel efficient driving available today. “Intelligent Powertrain Management technology employs many of the same behaviours that an experi-

enced driver uses behind the wheel, but in many situations take actions that even the most experienced driver would be unable to employ such as engaging eCoast before cresting a hill. Ultimately actions like this will help all drivers achieve greater efficiency with less fatigue,” said Brad Williamson, Manager, Engine and Component Marketing for Daimler Trucks North America. “We want to give our customers the most advanced technologies available to lower to their Real Cost of Ownership, and IPM is a key part of that strategy.”

For example, when approaching a grade, IPM will increase road speed to allow the vehicle to climb the hill with the fewest downshifts possible. IPM will also engage eCoast or stop fueling the engine before cresting a hill, using the truck’s momentum instead. When heading down a hill, IPM plans for this by automatically accelerating to increase the truck’s momentum, based on the approaching terrain. IPM will also keep eCoast engaged for longer periods of time with fewer interruptions, further benefiting fuel economy. b
