July 1, 2010 – 60 per cent of all accidents in which a truck col-

lides with a pedestrian or cyclist can be blamed on the driver’s blind spot. Many of the people injured are children. In Denmark, Volvo Trucks and several other organisations have therefore joined forces in a project designed to teach children how to be-have when there are trucks around.

It is the middle of the morning rush-hour in the little town of Svendborg on the Danish island of Fyn. At the Byskolen village school, curious children are crowding around a large truck parked in the school playground. The third-graders are having a traffic education lesson.

“Many of my pupils cycle through the village to school, and it’s important that they learn more about the traffic they encounter,” says class teacher Lise Jakobsen.

Denmark ’s la rges t -ever traffic safety cam-paign, “Traffic Safety at Eye Level”, has arrived in Svendborg. The campaign was launched in 2003 by Volvo Trucks and other organisations. The back-ground was that there had been many accidents in-volving cyclists and trucks,

caused by the blind spot that becomes particularly hazardous when the driver turns right in a left-hand drive truck. In 2003 alone, more than ten people died in Denmark, several of them children.

In 2007 the International Road Transport Union car-ried out an analysis of more than 600 accidents involv-ing trucks in seven Euro-pean countries (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain). The study re-vealed that 60 per cent of accidents in which a truck drives into a pedestrian or cyclist are attributable to the truck driver’s blind spot. In half the cases, the accidents took place when turning right. Two-thirds of blind spot-related ac-cidents resulted in fatal-ities.

“These accidents are very difficult to prevent. That is why we joined forces with several partners to start the campaign and highlight the risks,” says Peter Ander-sen, PR manager at Volvo Trucks in Denmark.

In the beginning the train-ing sessions were held on Saturdays at Volvo Trucks dealerships. However, it was difficult to attract fam-ilies with young children at weekends. It was only when the campaign started

coming to schools that it picked up speed. So far, more than 60,000 children throughout Denmark have done the course.

“As a manufacturer, we want to help ensure that this type of accident never happens again. For in-stance, we have developed a safety system featuring cameras that monitor the blind spot. However, not everything can be solved with technology and driver training. That’s why we must actively teach cyclists about the risks. That is our responsibility as a truck manufacturer,” says Peter Andersen.

Place: Byskolen village school. Inside one of the classrooms, the pupils in class 3A are sitting in a circle. Their attention is focused on a model road junction on which there is a Volvo truck, scale 1:32. Instructor Jens Hesselvig shows how the truck’s trailer cuts the corner as the vehicle turns right. The aim is to show the children how easy it is to be run over in such a manoeuvre when they are on their bikes.

“I’m a lot more careful about trucks now. These things can actually kill someone,” says third grad-er Vera Meyer after the lesson.

The biggest danger oc-curs as the truck slows down and is about to start its right turn. This man-oeuvre creates blind spots where the driver cannot see everything that is hap-pening on the vehicle’s right side. Several acci-dents have happened when cyclists have continued straight ahead at the same time as a truck is negotiat-ing a right-hand turn.

“The cyclists believe the truck driver can see every-thing. However, there’s a huge difference between a passenger car and a truck when it comes to the blind spot. That is why it is vital for children to come up into the truck’s cab and see the view from the vehicle’s right-hand mirror,” explains instructor Jens Hesselvig.

There is no difficulty get-ting the children out into the school playground for the next exercise. After a bit of pushing and shov-ing on the staircase, a couple of boys are the first in the line to climb up into the truck cab. Meanwhile, instructor Jens places the rest of the class along the truck’s right side.

“OK, how many of your classmates do you see in the right-hand mirror? Sit in the driver’s seat and count them,” shouts Jens.

The boys in the cab can-not see more than half the class. It is particularly diffi-cult to see their classmates standing right beside the first pair of wheels, even though they are waving their arms and doing their utmost to be seen.

“It was fun sitting in the cab. But now I understand how difficult it is to see cyclists down there on the road. I’ll probably jump off my bike and get onto the pavement from now on whenever I have a truck beside me,” says Jens Ern-gard, class 3A.

“When we were told about the course it felt perfectly natural to ac-cept the offer. It’s a good opportunity to learn more about this now that my pupils are at the age that they are beginning to cycle to school on their own. They are more receptive to information about the dan-gers involved,” says class

teacher Lise Jakobsen.In Denmark the num-

ber of accidents involving cyclists and trucks in right-hand turns has dropped since the campaign got under way in 2003. From about ten fatalities a year to just one in 2009. It is of course difficult to quantify precisely how much the campaign has contributed to this result, but today there is immense demand for the course among Dan-ish schools.

“When we started visit-ing schools in 2005, there were many people who doubted whether this was the right method. After just one year, however, we saw that the project was highly appreciated by the schools. That’s reason enough for us to continue,” says Peter Andersen, PR manager at Volvo Trucks in Denmark.

Warrenville, IL (July 1, 2010) – Navistar, Inc.’s

International® brand com-mercial trucks rank high-est in customer satisfac-tion among Class 8 truck owners in the Vocational Truck and Dealer Service segments - the only two categories recognizing the Class 8 truck industry this year - according to the J.D. Power and As-sociates 2010 Heavy-Duty Truck Customer Satisfac-tion Study (SM) released today.

“We are proud to be rec-ognized by J.D. Power and Associates with awards that signify Navistar’s commitment to providing the best possible experi-ence for International truck customers,” said Jack Allen, president of Navistar’s North American truck group. “It’s gratifying to be acknowledged for our work to continuously improve our products and service to better meet the needs of our customers’ demanding businesses.”

In the vocational truck

segment, International® brand Class 8 commer-cial trucks rank highest, performing particularly well in the engine, cab and body and transmis-sion factors.

In the service segment, International also ranks highest in Class 8 cus-tomer satisfaction and performs particularly well in all factors driving satis-faction: service delivery; service advisor; price; dealer facility; service quality; and service in-itiation.

According to J.D. Power and Associates, with sales shrinking during the past few years, dealers have placed heavy emphasis on improving the service experience to retain cur-rent customers and to help attract new ones. The average number of days to complete a repair has improved from 2.3 days in 2009 to 2.0 days in 2010. Getting a truck back on the road nearly a half day earlier may save the truck owner thousands of dollars in potential

lost revenue and greatly improve overall service satisfaction.

When it comes to meet-ing the needs of its cus-tomers and providing top-level customer ser-vice, Navistar prides itself on going “beyond the truck.” This past March, the company introduced OnCommand™ by Navis-tar - a bundled approach to service and after-sales support offerings.

As one of the largest and most comprehen-sive packages of support

services in the industry, OnCommand by Navistar helps customers achieve more efficient repairs and maintenance, better life-cycle value and an overall lower total cost of owner-ship - a combination that gives customers increased visibility and better con-trol of their business.

International® Trucks Rank Highest in Vocational Truck & Dealer Service Among Class 8 Customers

At the top of the sca le, fu l l - t i l t m a k e ov e r s o f

Class 8 trucks are known to cost in excess of $100,000 with rigs sporting every-thing from gleaming ex-haust systems to stainless steel tank wraps. The costs may seem excessive, but not surprising considering the amount of work, ex-pertise, time and creativity invested in transforming a regular rig into an eye-catching work of art.

Truck shows and the larger custom specialists are the standard bearers measuring what’s hot in the industry. In recent years efforts have focused on creating impressions reminiscent of a previous era. “The biggest trend I have seen in the last couple of years is with paint. There has been a move toward a retro, 1980’s style of paint on trucks,” says Hans Gies-brecht, owner of Shield Truck Accessories based in Aylmer, Ontario. Gies-brecht has to be an astute observer of trends, his livelihood depends on it. Practically everything Shield Truck Accessor-ies produces is custom made, from visors to bat-tery boxes to tank wraps and an assorted array of accessories.

Customization costs average much less than the stratospheric peaks of $100,000, but rates can still reach into the tens of thousands of dollars. “We recently customized one truck that cost in excess of $30,000,” Giesbrecht noted of the stainless steel products mounted to the rig. The company’s

products are reportedly superior to what is found in chrome shops. All of Shield’s parts are made of premium 304 #8 heavy gauge steel noted for its strength and gleaming mirror finish and popular among drivers are Shield’s visors.

“Our visors are in high demand, especially among owners whose trucks are outfitted with manufac-tured visors that are not much more than accent pieces,” he continues. Dis-criminating drivers are apt to replace factory-made pieces with quality visors that eliminate glare and minimize reflection and as well function as a centre-piece for building identity. “Personalized visors can alter the look of a truck. Customers will ask for specific lighting shapes and sizes and load their visors with a lot of lights to

distinguish themselves.”Standing alongside the

demand for visors are fuel skin wraps. Conventional aluminum tanks are prone to discoloration by road salt and other environ-mental threats. Stainless steel covers do not fade like aluminum and require only a quick wipe to pre-serve a high finish polish that lasts years.

Giesbrecht admits that during recessionary times, such as the one experts tell us we are emerging from, the accessories industry is the first to suffer. He has seen competitors close their doors and if recent employment trends in

trucking are anything to go by, the predicted short-age of drivers over the next two years may further compromise investments in the customization mar-ket.

South of the border a shortfall of 200,000 drivers is predicted by the end of 2010 followed by a similar shortfall in 2011, accord-ing to the state of logistics report by the Council of Supply Chain Manage-ment Professionals. Re-tirements, tougher safety regulations designed to get bad drivers off the road and the need to replace drivers who were laid off during the recession, account for much of the shortage. Another princi-pal factor is the spate of challenges associated w i t h t h e profession;

the average salary for a U.S. truck driver was $37,730 in mid-2009. This, coupled with the demand for a quality-of-life career in which workers want to be home with their fam-ilies at the end of the day, underscores the Report’s claims that the industry will experience a short-age of one million drivers over the next 15 years just to replace retirees and meet the normal growth of freight.

Giesbrecht, meanwhile, hopes to continue re-sisting market pressures thanks in part to a solid reputation and an unfail-ing desire by many who

see the need to customize as an important business practice. Indeed, custom-ization sculpts a corporate identity. “People want to make themselves unique. They want to be noticed on the road and gain more attention. This prompts conversation which helps create an identity. Many drivers want to be recog-nized by the rig they are driving rather than by who

they are,” Giesbrecht says of the impressions he gleans from cus-

tomers who patronize his shop. Customization, he continues, is also driv-en by design changes by truck companies. Battery boxes, for example, which fit a particular rig one year, may not fit the same truck a year later due to minor changes in cab configura-tion.

Others agree with Gies-brecht’s assessment of developing a unique im-age. “People want to be identified by their brand. They want people to look at their truck and notice the lights and decals and paint jobs. All of these things create an impres-sion and establish a mar-ket position,” says Mark Paul, Business Develop-ment Marketing Manager for Grote Industries’ Can-adian operations based in Markham, Ontario. Grote Industries’ core business is

providing electrical light-ing and harness systems for a range of trailer sizes and applications. Paul, like Giesbrecht, agrees that it is primarily Owner/Oper-ators that opt for customiz-ing rigs. Larger fleets with dozens or even hundreds of units prefer a more cost effective approach in which all vehicles are marked the same way with few added features.

But Grote’s unique lighting systems also attract other segments of the industry. Police and fire depart-ments, emergency servi-ces and municipalities all customize vehicles with specific lighting configura-tions and other signature features in order to estab-lish a specific brand.

In addition to custom-izing lighting on vehicles, Grote Industries also has a reputation for advan-cements into white light technology. The company is known for its function-al LED Worklamps. The LEDs, while providing a low amperage draw that uses less battery power than conventional in-candescent lighting, are known for their powerful illumination and even distribution of light across the visibility spectrum. LEDs have no filaments which builds resistance against damage caused by vibrations. These resilient units have been especially useful in withstanding the rigours of harsh working

environments. Reduced power consumption, a cleaner brighter white, and more useable light are features which have made the LED Worklamp popular for the inside of trailers as well as for emergency vehicles and machinery for the farming, mining and construction industries. Whitelight (R) products are available in a variety of sizes and LED configurations for many applications.

Customized products not only enhance image, but provide comfort. Air con-ditioning systems are also undergoing modifications that conform to changing rig designs and driver comfort with non-invasive installations. The Concord, Ontario based company, Cool Moves, sports the Ren Cool Combination Kit, an air conditioning unit with components which can be configured in dif-ferent ways according to the specs of the truck and availability of space. Company president, Gary Wilson, says Cool Moves offers the widest range of mounting options in North America. Units can be mounted on the back wall of a cab, on the roof or using a so-called split system whereby operating components are placed wherever space provides. Cool Moves imports many of its products which can be packaged in multiple ways to suit customers’ needs. The company draws on its extensive experi-ence installing systems in limited spaces. It services military hardware heat-ing and AC units placed in tanks and armoured vehicles where unused space is at a premium.

Though not a necessity for Class 8 trucks and trailers, industry watchers predict the market will as-cend a continuing trajec-tory, spurred by the need for some degree of brand recognition.V

Customization Market Segment Continues to be Strong Despite Industry Highs & Lows

By AlVIs VIOlO

If you ever plan to in-volve yourself in activ-ities such as camping,

boating or some sort of automotive pastime, such as auto racing, then chan-ces are you will need to do some towing. While it may seem hard to believe, towing an average-sized trailer is really easier than it looks. Before you at-tempt to tow a trailer however, make sure you learn to do it safely.

Two of the most import-ant things to remem-ber when you tow are basic common sense and the ability to adjust your driving. When towing,

remember that every-thing you do while driving needs to be done at about half the speed when com-pared to driving without a trailer. When turning, you need to go much slower. When you are accelerat-ing, do it much easier. If you need to brake, al-low yourself a great deal more space to stop and when you change lanes, allow more room for your vehicle and the trailer.

Follow these tips when attaching your trailer to the tow vehicle

Know your vehicle’s towing capacity and the weight of what you are towing. You can find your vehicle’s capacity in the owner’s manual. To deter-mine the weight of what you are towing, include the weight of the trailer itself and the object(s) on the trailer. Take into account any extras, like the contents inside the camper or fuel in the tank

of the boat.Choose a hitch with the

proper rating. Hitches are ranked from Class I to Class V, and their towing capacity increases in each class. A Class I trailer can tow 907 kg while a Class V is rated to tow 4,536 kg.

Connect the wiring for lights and brakes. Trail-ers have their own brake and turn signals, so make sure you have the proper wiring harness to con-nect the lights to your vehicle. If you are towing more than 680 kg, your province likely requires the trailer to have its own brakes, so be sure to con-nect those to your vehicle as well.

Register your trailer; trailers need their own license plates. Before you take it on the road, obtain the proper registration and plates, the latter of which should be securely affixed and visible from

the back end.Know the width and

length limits of cargo in your province. There are restrictions on how wide and long your cargo can be before you need to use flags or extra lights. For example, if you are tow-ing long planks of wood, there will be a length at which your province re-quires you to affix a flag or red light to the end.

Make sure the cargo is strapped down properly. Bumps in the road, hills and turns can cause cargo to shift. If the cargo gets off balance, it could rip the trailer off the hitch. Make sure everything is tightly packed and secured.

Hook up your trailer and now that you have the equipment you need, securely attach the trailer to your vehicle by follow-ing these three steps.

Attach the coupler to the ball mount, they should fit securely. If they do not,

you cannot tow the trailer until you get the proper equipment. Make sure the ball is not worn out; grease the ball regularly to prevent wearing.

Attach the safety chains between the trailers and tow vehicle. Cross the chains underneath the trailer tongue, making sure they are a little slack but do not drag on the ground. Then, attach the chains to the tow vehicle itself, not the hitch. The chains are a backup safety device designed to keep the trailer and tow vehicle connected should the hitch fail.

Hook up all the elec-trical, and then test your lights.

Take the time to learn how to properly connect and tow a trailer so you can reach your destina-tion as smoothly as pos-sible. Since recreational activities like boating and camping require towing,

you do not want your weekend of fun ruined by a trailer mishap.

The last safety tip I have is one we hardly think about. Make sure your insurance policy allows for the towing of trail-ers. Find out if you have liability insurance in case something happens while towing and make sure the trailer and its contents will be covered in case they are damaged.

Drive safe, think positive and be prosperous.

Calgary, Alberta – On the racetrack, “Smokin’ Gord”

Cooper faces many chal-lenges when racing with Canada’s first and fastest diesel drag semi, The Smokin’ Gun. With his personal best ¼ mile speed clock-ing

in at 1 1 9 . 8 8 mph, Cooper turns to Shell Rotella T® Triple Protection® to help keep his engine in top form.

Cooper had been using Shell Rotella T for years when Shell Rotella be-came an official sponsor in 2005.

“I’ve been using Rote-lla T for 20 years, and would never think about using anything else,” says Cooper. “No matter how hot I run my engine, I know that

Rotella T will keep my engine protected and continuously adapt to the needs of my engine for protection in these tough off-highway ap-plications.”

Ranked Top Five Fastest Diesel Drag Racing As-sociation Pro Rig in North America, The Smokin’ Gun takes 3,100 hp to

move 9,500 lbs down the 1/4 mile in less than 12.5 seconds, and gets to speeds over 120 mph, putting the rig’s twin-turbo engine

through some of the harshest racing condi-tions.

In the summert ime Cooper continues to tour

Canada with the Smokin’ Gun and his Crew, wowing race fans with spectacular burn-outs and fast 1/4 mile runs. When the racing season

ends Gord goes back to work full time hauling oversize and delicate oilfield equipment with his commercial truck-ing company, O.C.E.A.N.

Hauling &

Hotshot Ltd.Cooper grew up in Ay-

ers Cliff, a small town in Eastern Canada. He at-tended Dawson College before joining the Armed Forces as a Military En-

gineer. After seven years, Cooper resigned from the Canadian Military and soon he began a career in trucking. Cooper now resides with his family in Calgary, Alberta.

Smokin’ Gord Cooper Faces Many Challenges

Everyone knows that technology is changing and

changing fast, so com-panies need to keep one step ahead in order to of-fer fleets the best for their vehicles. Shell Canada is indeed in the forefront with their products and services for fleets.

The key to your business success is to maximize fleet up-time and mini-mize operating costs while complying with environ-

mental standards. Shell can offer and deliver real value to your business by helping you adapt to the ever-changing mainten-ance and lubrication re-quirements of your fleet.

Shell has developed an adaptable approach to fleets focused on deliv-ering value in three areas. First would be products that help protect, extend maintenance intervals and deliver benefits such as improved fuel economy.

Second are innovative maintenance solutions to increase efficiencies. Third but not least is business services to help your fleet business.

All of Shell’s heavy-duty engine oils, greases and antifreeze are designed to protect and deliver performance - Rotella®, Spirax®, Donax®, Ret-inax® and Rotella® ELC.

Shell Canada Fleet 2010 Lubricant Technology Symposium

Shell Canada recent-ly held a series of fleet information sessions in Toronto and Winnipeg, led by Shell’s global tech-nology and marketing experts. Fleet owners and operators were about to discuss and learn more about topics including various new emission con-trol technologies, equip-ment changes, fleet technol-ogy trends and understanding ways that lubri-cant technology can help to save f leet owners and operators save money. More information on up-coming fleet sessions can be found at www.shell.ca/fleet.

Business ServicesShell Canada’s Business

Services include Shell Fleet Management - a program that is a custom analysis process designed to reduce fleet manage-ment costs. Shell Lu-beEquipment supports acquisition and set-up of lubricants storage and dis-pensing equipment. The Shell LubeAdvisor delivers technical advice, basic product recommendations and troubleshooting sup-port for lubricant-related equipment problems.

Maintenance SolutionsShell Canada also has

maintenance solutions geared to make a fleet more efficient. The Lu-

beAnalyst tests the condi-tion of your lubricant to monitor and track your equipment performance. The LubeCoach™ provides relevant training on topics such as storage and hand-ling of lubricants, cleanli-ness of the lubricant and application of the lubri-cant, all very important to the life of our fleet.

Shel l ’s On-Site Oil Analysis (OSA) is the only service of its kind in Canada. It tests oil samples and has results ready in minutes. Fleet owners and operators also receive a printed report that assesses the oil’s con-dition and level of engine wear. For example, the OSA engine report outlines the condition of the oil and air filters; condition of the rings, pistons, bearings and other vital internal parts, and the presence of contaminants. It also re-ports on the transmission and power steering, giving an analysis of those parts as well and recommends actions to take to correct emerging problems before they become serious.

One of the most valu-able maintenance solu-

tions in Shell’s lineup is the LubeVideoCheck™. This solution allows for assessment of internal engine conditions without the need for complete dis-mantling of the engine. A fiber-optic digital camera (video scope) is fed into the engine and transmits video images of key en-gine components to a hi-

res monitor, which is an ideal way to find and de-crease mainten-ance costs.

The Shell Lu-beExpress de-l ivers faster, safer oil change s e r v i c e t h a t

helps extend engine life. This benefits the fleet im-mensely as the service is fast and clean. It optimizes the amount of fresh oil used by taking the exact amount of oil required for the change and no more! More contaminants are removed to extend engine life and you get greater protection as instant oil pressure is obtained from the start-up. The Lube-Express provides safer working conditions, less operational downtime, improved engine wear and protection and improved workshop cleanliness.

Shell Canada can adapt to fleet business needs with their wide portfolio of products, business ser-vices and maintenance solutions that deliver real value.V

Shell Canada Adapts to Your Fleet Needs

By JACK lEE

Do you like shop-ping around for a good deal? I re-

member hearing about a guy who got a good deal on a new paint job for his truck…his brother-in-law was going to do it. No need to write any more because you can finish the rest of that story.

I like a good deal and as a business owner I always try to get the best price from our suppliers, while taking into con-sideration all of the facts looking beyond just price. Take fuel for example. If you are driving a few blocks to save a couple of cents per litre to fill up your car, it makes sense. But is price-per-litre the best way to shop for your fleet?

Let me ask you another question: Is fuel a com-modity or an investment? If you view fuel as a com-modity chances are you shop for fuel based on price alone. If you view fuel as an investment you are concerned about maximizing the return on your fuel investment and the resulting productiv-ity. Sound complicated? Really it’s not. Let me explain.

If you refuel your fleet with a supplier that gives you a “low price guaran-tee” you don’t get much else, just the fuel. There usually is not a written service guarantee that ensures you get the fuel you need, anytime, day or night; not to mention emergencies. And what about fuel shortages? Will you be lined up with every-body else waiting for the big oil companies? Cheap fuel suppliers can leave you in the

l u r c h too, stop-

ping your work. Now

that’s expen-sive.If the cost of fuel

is your only concern then are you 100% sure that you are getting every drop you pay for? Unless there is 100% transparency you could be getting less. If your fuel delivery com-pany does not monitor each refuelling occasion digitally and can show you how much fuel was deliv-ered, to the exact drop, you have no real proof. Low cost price leaders typically do not invest in technology and as a result you do not get more than a simple invoice with each fill… that’s it.

Total Fuel Management delivers more for your money!

When you use a Total Fuel Management Com-pany, like 4Refuel, you will get a competitive price

and they will deliver a whole lot more. A big part of that is informa-tion that you can use to calculate the return on your fuel investment. With each fill up, you know, to the drop, how much fuel each truck or piece of equipment got and when it was refuelled. You can get that data delivered to you in real time via email in addition to data that shows how much time

that particular unit was productive, how much downtime and

key operating information like time spent idling, hard acceleration etc. All this is important stuff if you care about your bottom line productivity.

Total Fuel Management minimizes the risks as-sociated with refuelling too because drivers are certified, trained profes-sionals, so you won’t have to pay for costly clean-ups. If there is a regional fuel shortage the top TFM companies will guaran-tee delivery because they work with a number of suppliers in and outside of your territory. You’ll be working while others are waiting. And that is priceless!

fuel Inc. the largest on-site fuel management com-pany in Canada and a global leader in technol-

ogy designed to help busi-nesses reduce their fuel expenses.

When Cheap Fuel Costs You More…

MTO has the au-thority to con-duct a Facility

Audit at an operator’s place of business, which includes a review of books and records pertaining to the operator’s truck-ing business. When MTO decides to audit a particu-lar operator, the auditor will contact the operator, usually by fax, informing them of the intention to conduct the audit, usually about a week in advance of the intended audit. The letter that is faxed to the

operator outlines the types of records the auditor will expect to see during the audit and the time and date that the audit will commence. The auditor will then attend at the operator’s place of busi-ness to review documents such as Hours of Work records, Maintenance files and so forth.

At the outset of the audit, the auditor traditionally cautions the operator that any statements made by the operator can be used in any prosecutions against the operator that may re-sult from the audit. If the operator wishes to have a representative at the audit, the operator usually con-tacts the representative to attend from the start of the audit. The purpose of having a representative at the audit is to sit with the auditor and contest anything that the auditor may wish to use during the

audit that may reduce the operator’s score at the end of the audit, and also to ensure that the auditor is following proper proced-ures. The representative is usually a former MTO auditor and representation at a Facility Audit is highly recommended.

When an audit is con-ducted, the auditor will review documents such as log books going back as far as 6 months. Any issues found in the log books can result in the operator or the driver, or both being charged with an offence. It’s easy to see how a great many charges could result given that each driver will have about 180 days of logs and if the operator is operating 10 trucks there would be 1800 logs to choose from and charges laid for any discrepancies.

A common discrepancy would be receipts that

don’t match logs. For ex-ample, the log shows that the driver is in a certain location and the receipt for the same date and time shows a different location, this would be considered a false log. Other issues may include drivers being over their allowable hours, or failing to submit logs to the operator.

The auditor may also review documents such as Trip Inspection Reports. A common problem with inspection reports would be if the auditor looks at 50 inspection reports for a specific driver and truck and notices that no defects are ever detected, this would appear to be somewhat suspicious. Al-though it may be some-what inconvenient to note every minor defect, it is important to do so. If an inspection report indicates no defects on a given day and the operator produces

a work order showing that there were repairs performed on the vehicle that day, that should have shown up on the inspec-tion report, the driver and or operator is liable to be charged.

It’s easy to think that a minor paperwork issue can be ignored but if the operator is audited there

is a very good chance that your paperwork issue may result in charges.

Facility Audits

By ROBERt D. sChEPER

A low cost producer is not interested in hiring the most

professional of drivers. They hunt for low cost bodies that simultaneously fog a mirror and not at-tract higher insurance pre-miums.

Using this business model the company has to con-sider their equipment and fuel costs, so they voluntar-ily speed limit their trucks. They have chosen to be a low cost producer, more interested in increasing volume and cutting costs than in servicing qual-ity customers with good paying freight. Their busi-ness model primarily at-tracts customers by cutting freight rates.

A service oriented produ-cer is not focused so much on cost but on value. They charge a premium rate for their premium service and hire quality drivers who operate equipment professionally and deliver exceptional service. In this model, value is brought to the customer by quality carriers who meet or ex-ceed service expectations and the customer pays accordingly.

Now let’s say a low cost producer wanted to bid on a time sensitive higher ser-vice oriented contract (an example of this would be Purolator). It would mean higher margins for the company because they’re quoting on high service rates while positioning themselves as a low cost provider, a bold short sight-ed (but not uncommon) business move. They try to cheat their business model. This strategy is attempted as often as possible but it is rarely sustainable.

Now let’s say two com-

panies pick up their trailers from the same time sensi-tive shipper in Toronto on their way to Vancouver. One is the low cost com-pany (voluntarily speed limiting their trucks) and the other a quality truck-ing company (focused on servicing the time sensi-tive customer and not governing their drivers). The low cost producer will periodically be at a disadvantage all along the trip because their restricted speed ranges anywhere from 0-15 km/h below posted limits. Therefore, it becomes mathemat-ically improbable for this low cost producer to meet

customer expectations consistently on this time sensitive higher margin freight.

Unless, what if that low cost producer refuses to ac-knowledge their business model limitations? What if they have OTA connec-tions to legislate quality service providers DOWN to low cost service standards (through universal speed limiters)? They can “level the playing field” by remov-ing the quality from the free market system.

So who suffers? Every-one! After the service expectations have been reduced to a “level play-ing field”, time sensitive

freight becomes little more than cost conscious freight. Thanks to the Ontario Trucking Association, uni-versal speed limiters mean a continuation of universal price gouging across Can-ada. There is less service for the customer, less margins for trucking companies and less ability to provide bonuses to employees and shareholders.

This mentality is greedy, short sighted and origin-ates from people who don’t understand or don’t want to understand their in-dustry. Who cares how many years they’ve been in the industry; age does not guarantee wisdom and

understanding! The solution is simple;

get special interest groups such as the OTA out of the supply and demand system. Stop legislating a quality profit oriented industry into a mediocre regulatory abyss.

Brenntag is the world’s largest dis-tributor of Diesel

Exhaust Fluid. Brenntag’s experience with Diesel Ex-haust Fluid begins in Eur-ope where we currently supply DEF (or in Europe referred to as Adblue®), to truck stops, fleets, and fuel/oil distributors. Brenntag established our leadership position by leveraging our existing structure of facili-ties and equipment which is compatible with Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Brenntag continues to provide Eur-ope with quality Adblue® delivered when and where you need it.

In North America Brenn-tag has a similar infra-structure to Europe that is comprised of over 100 ter-minals in most major cities that can bring in bulk urea and supply customers from coast to coast. Brenntag also maintains the high-

est quality standards in handling and transporting DEF. Quality is a key dif-ferentiator for Brenntag; we promote TerraCair® Ultrapure Diesel Exhaust Fluid. TerraCair® is sourced from one Company, CF Industries who recently acquired Terra Industries. TerraCair® maintains sup-ply chain integrity from start to finish. So when you use TerraCair® you receive a Certificate of Analysis which traces the product from Brenntag back to the production facility. In each step of the supply chain Brenntag tests and retests to ensure the product is on spec when you receive it. This supply chain integrity is why most truck manufac-turers choose TerraCair® for their factory fill and dealer aftermarket.

Brenntag supplies DEF in 2.5 US gallon (9.46 L) bottles, 55 US gallon (208

L) drums, 330 US gallon (1,249 L) totes and in bulk and can provide dispens-ing equipment as well. Equipment options range to include electric tote pumps, up to 1,000 and 2,000 US gallon or greater,

mini-bulk above ground storage tanks. Because DEF is a chemical, special equipment is required for dispensing. Brenntag en-gineering evaluates equip-ment solutions to ensure performance and compat-

ibility.Brenntag prides itself on

With consumers across Ontario continuing to

pay the price for the on-going problem of vehicle theft, Boomerang Track-ing, Canada’s leader in stolen vehicle recovery, launched the third annual Vehicle Theft Awareness Month in July to provide valuable theft protection information to vehicle owners.tODAy’s PROFEssIONAl

thIEVEs

Recent figures released by Stat is t ics Canada showed that 125,000 vehicles disappeared in Canada in 2008 – one every four minutes - con-firming that vehicle theft remains an expensive crime for every driver on the road.

Even more alarming, the Insurance Bureau of Canada reported that 67% of vehicles stolen in the Toronto area are not recovered. This is due in large part to the fact that the majority of vehicle theft is the work of profes-sional thieves.

In the trucking industry, thieves were in the past only interested in the cargo itself but one of the latest trends that Boom-erang is seeing is the seizure of the transport equipment along with the load it is carrying.

REAlIty OF thEFt

Mireille Alvo recently had her brand new Toyota

Matrix stolen only three months after purchasing it. After parking in her workplace lot as usual, she returned to find her parking space empty and her car nowhere to be found. “It was horrible. You feel violated. It is just a car, and that’s the real-ity, but it’s not just losing the car, it’s losing a sense of trust. I have to continue parking in that lot every day so I had to regain trust in the environment.” she commented.

CONsEquENCEs OF

thEFt

While it is true that most insurance policies will cover a vehicle loss, drivers could expect to pay at least $2,500 in out of pocket expens-es from a theft in lost vehicle contents, loss of use of vehicle, loss of down payment, potential rental car costs and in-creases in insurance pre-miums on a replacement vehicle. The prevalence of vehicle theft and its consequences are real for every driver. “While many drivers might feel like vehicle theft is a problem that will never happen to them, that is unfortu-nately not always the case,” commented Scott Nilson, General Manager of Boomerang Tracking. “Every driver has a part to play in stopping vehicle theft: it is essential that consumers take a pro-

active role in protecting themselves. We believe that the more layers of protection a driver uses, the safer their vehicle will be.”

To educate consum-ers about vehicle theft,

Boomerang Tracking has published the Keeping Track booklet, a guide to protect vehicles from theft. It includes a review of vehicle theft in Canada and the four methods of protection against theft. A free electronic ver-sion is available at www.

Doctor P re load bearing adjust-ment tool, manu-

factured by Temper Axle Products Corporation, is a breakthrough in wheel end bearing adjustment. Designed to adjust tapered roller bearings to light pre-load position with a high degree of accuracy, the tool enables technicians to complete the bearing

adjustment process in less than one minute.

A single nut Temper-Loc nut rounds out the bearing adjustment system and the procedure is straight-forward. The wheel-end is assembled in place on the spindle. The technician ensures that the assembly is up in the proper position on the spindle, and not sag-ging out of position. Next,

the Temper-Loc Nut is hand tightened against the outer bearing. Doctor Preload is applied to the spindle end, adjusted to the Roll-In Zone and the wheel is turned three revolutions. Then, the tool is adjusted to the Set point for the axle (Drive/Trailer or Front), and the nut is again hand tight-ened to secure the preload. The tool is removed, and

the single-nut Temper-Loc is locked in place with a fingertip controlled retain-ing key.

The Truck and Bus Wheel Subcommittee of the So-ciety of Automotive En-gineers (SAE), established target preload settings. Entitled “Setting Preload in Heavy Duty Wheel Bear-ings”, SAE J2535 is the basis for the final setting

preloads established using Doctor Preload. SAE pub-lished a paper presented by the company at the 2009 Commercial Vehicle Conference in Chicago: “Technology Breakthrough Achieves Objectives for SAE Preload Targets in Heavy Duty Wheel Ends”, paper number 2009-01-2887.

Doctor Preload and Tem-per-Loc Nuts are receiv-ing a warm reception in the US trucking industry. Fleet owners appreciate the operating benefits of optimally adjusted wheel ends, and fleets are adopt-ing the products as their standard. A major food products importer is work-

ing to specify the Doctor Preload technology on their new equipment purchases. Heavy-duty truck and trail-er service organizations like the time savings they get, and the ability to de-liver a consistently higher quality service to their fleet customers.

Temper Technology Prod-ucts Corporation, located in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Southern Ontario, is Tem-per’s Canadian distribution company.

Doctor Preload and Tem-per are registered trade-marks of Temper Corpora-tion. For more information call 518.853.3467 or visit our website at www.best-wheellife.com.V

Fort Mill, South Caro-lina (July 20th, 2010) The entire regional

steer tire family of prod-ucts from Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (“Continental”) has now been added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SmartWay® Transport Partnership’s list of verified fuel savings technologies.

Continental’s HSR2® (Heavy Steer Regional), HSR1 and HSR truck tires were recently veri-fied by SmartWay as low rolling resist-ance truck tires. The HSR2 is the latest genera-tion of regional steer and all-position truck tires, featuring a 23/32” deep improved cut and chip resist-ant tread com-pound for opti-mal perform-ance; patented groove geometry for better resist-ance to cracking and tearing; a protective curb rib for high scrub applications; and the VAI® + system of visual align-ment and tread depth indicators. HSR1, also in the regional tire family, features reduced noise and excellent wet trac-tion through an optimized tread pattern. The HSR is a previous generation tire which is still in use by

many regional fleets today, and its tough casing lasts multiple lifetimes as a re-treaded tire across North America.

Continental offers a wide selection of truck tires that have been verified by the EPA for low rolling resist-ance when used for Class 8, line haul trucks. The complete list of Smart-Way verified tire products which

are cur- rently available from Continental includes the following. Steer consists of HSL2, HSL2 Eco Plus, HSR2, HSR2 Eco Plus, HSR1, HSR, Drive has HDL Eco Plus, HDL2 Eco Plus, HDL2 DL Eco Plus and Trailer has HTL Eco Plus and

HTL1.Tires verified by the EPA

for lower rolling resistance can provide a reduction in NOx emissions and an estimated fuel savings of 3% or greater, rela-tive to the “best selling” new tires for line haul trucks, when used on all five axles on long haul class 8 trucks. Accord-ing to the EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership Web site, its projected sav-

ings of between 3.3 and 6.6 billion gallons of

diesel fuel per year represents a sav-ings of as much as 150 million barrels of oil per year. This is the equivalent of taking 12 mil-lion cars off the road, lead-ing SmartWay p a r t n e r s t o save nearly $10 billion in oper-ating costs.Continental also

participates in the SmartWay Trans-

port Partnership as a shipper partner,

committing to reduce its environmental impacts from ground freight trans-portation. The majority of Continental tire products are shipped within Smart-Way’s environmentally sensitive guidelines.

Nothing is more important than maintaining prop-

er tire inflation if you want your tires to last longer and be trouble free.

Why aren’t more truck tires maintained with the proper amount of air for

the load being carried?Part of the answer is

that it isn’t easy to check 18 tires with a calibrated tire gauge at least once weekly.

It’s easy to tell you how important it is to check your tires with a gauge in-stead of by thumping. But

it’s a lot less trouble than to be down with a dam-aged tire –caused because of under inflation, or over inflation – in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night on some dark, scary two lane road.

The Tire Retread & Re-pair Information Bureau

has a wealth of import-ant information about how to properly maintain your tires, with a special emphasis on proper tire inflation.

Let us send you a FREE package of useful informa-tion. You’ll have enough good material to keep you

reading for a week, and the best part is you’ll learn more about how to prop-erly maintain your tires, which in the long run will keep more of your money in your pocket, where it belongs.

Mettre le moteur au ralenti ne sert à rien, mais

les conducteurs de poids lourds diesel ont jusqu’ici uti l isé cette méthode pour garder au chaud le moteur et le carburant, pour masquer les bruits et les odeurs, pour assurer la sécurité et pour garder la température de la cabine soit chaude ou froide pen-dant les périodes de repos. Les conséquences de cette pratique sont accompa-gnées de chiffres ahuris-sants qui nous donnent une image très inquiétante de la perte de l’énergie, du gaspillage de coûts finan-ciers et des dommages infligés à l’environnement. Il existe des études qui in-diquent que l’industrie de transport consomme plus d’un milliard de gallons de carburant diesel par an quand les moteurs sont au ralenti. Si cette pratique est éliminée, il sera pos-sible d’économiser plus de 2,000 $ par camion par année.

A la suite de l’introduction de loi contre le ralenti du moteur, initiés comme toujours en Californie, les systèmes de chauffage et de refroidissement sont en train de subir des change-ments considérables. Des technologies nouvelles permettent aux conduc-teurs de fermer le moteur principal pendant un arrêt, pour se fier à une batterie à bord ou à une unité de puissance auxiliaire (AUP, auxiliary power unit) qui, dans certains cas, utilise une source alimentaire externe. La série Sleep-ing Well est une marque de conditionnement de

l’air connu comme très éfficace avec un systéme climatisant sans ralenti à 12 volts qui ne consomme aucun carburant, ne dé-charge aucune émission, marche sans bruit, n’a besoin que de très peu d’entretien et offre un re-tour d’investissement très rapide. La compagnie Wil-son Instruments de Camp-bellford, Ontario, Canada, est un des distributeurs de Sleeping Well. C’est cette compagnie qui a établi un réseau de distribution pour ce produit d’origine italienne qui a gagné le marché européen et plus tard a été modifié pour se faire accepter par le mar-ché nord-américain.

« On avait besoin d’un produit plutôt orienté vers un système de composants qu’on pouvait installer et retirer facilement » nous a expliqué Gary Wilson, président de la compagnie. Les systèmes Sleeping Well utilisent des APU alimentés de batteries qui sont capables de fournir dix heures de puissance avant d’être rechargées. C’est un système à trois composants, un évapora-teur monté en haut dans la cabine oû se trouve la plus grande concentration de chaleur, un compres-seur placé dans la boite de rangement sous le lit et un condensateur monté à l’extérieur de la cabine. Les deux unités, la plus petite et la plus grande, ont 3200 et 6000 BTU, comparés à des unités de climatisation plus grandes qui utilisent jusqu’à 10,000 BTU. Les unités Sleeping Well sont relativement petites mais Wilson nous met en garde contre l’idée que ce qui est plus grand est meilleur.

Ces unités sont placées stratégiquement afin de maximiser la conversion d’air chaud et d’humidité en air froid.

« Nous avons la pos-sibilité d’utiliser un BTU de puissance plus petite parce que notre évapora-teur est monté plus haut à l’intérieur du véhicule, ce qui lui permet de marcher avec une éfficacité accrue. Nos systémes marchent dans la chaleur oû ils ré-ussissent le mieux, » Wil-son nous a expliqué que souvent les unités de ses concurrents sont mon-tées au fond de la cabine et poussent l’air froid de dessous. Sleeping Well, au contraire, extrait la chaleur et l’humidité de la partie supérieure de l’unité, ne laissant effectivement que l’air plus froid.

L’éfficacité du systéme de climatisation est donc basée sur la source de puissance. « Tout dépend des batteries » a continué Wilson, » Du moment oû on améliore la puissance des batteries, elles durent plus longtemps, » Wilson Instruments choisit celles-ci selon la demande indivi-duelle du conducteur. Les camionneurs qui voyagent plus fréquemment aux ré-gions chaudes et humides, comme le Texas et le Nou-veau Méxique, ont besoin des plus grandes unités et des batteries plus puis-santes, capables de faire marcher le climatiseur plus longtemps pour contrebal-ancer des conditions cli-matiques plus extrèmes.

Innovative Transporta-tion Solutions (ITS) Distrib-uting, un autre fournisseur de la série Sleeping Well, a récemment annoncé qu’il va equiper ses unités avec des Battery Isolaters 48530 qui promettent une solution plus flexible que les isolateurs traditionnels. La batterie est plus petite et plus légère et engendre moins de chaleur que ses concurrents. Elle épargne le système de chargement, en évitant la connexion avec la batterie auxiliaire.

La batterie principale est chargée jusqu’à 13.2V, ce qui utilise une moindre force sur les composants couteux du système de chargement et ainsi pro-longe la vie du produit, selon les informations sur le site web ITS.

Les unités de puissance auxiliaires qui approvi-sionnent les climatiseurs, les chauffeurs et d’autres apparei ls prolongent aussi la vie du moteur, économisent le carburant, réduisent la pollution de l’air et du bruit et évitent le danger de contravenir aux règlements toujours plus punitifs sur la marche au ralenti.

Il faut ajouter, pourtant, que tout le monde n’est pas d’accord sur les APU. Certains intéressés trou-vent que le système d’APU (auxiliary power units) manque d’efficacité en général. « Il n’existe pas une seule APU qui n’est pas problématique, » nous a dit un certain repré-sentant. Les unités APU coûtent jusqu’à 12,000 $ et ont besoin d’un entre-tien supplémentaire, ce qui entraine des dépenses supplémentaires pour des vidanges plus fréquentes et un temps mort plus long pour le véhicule.

Parmi les prétentions qui garantissent les unités de haute efficacité se trouve le système Bergstrom NITE fourni par Espar Heat-ing Systems. La dernière version du No-Idle Ther-mal Environment, connu sous le nom de NITE Plus, présente une capacité de refroidissement engendrée avec moins de puissance de batterie qui promet un cycle plus long et une am-biance plus froide. Il pré-sente aussi de nouveaux échangeurs de chaleur et un écoulement d’air de conception nouvelle qui assurent un refroid-issement efficace d’une capacité de 4,680 BTU à l’heure.

Une autre marque d’AC qui ne se fie pas aux unités de puissance auxiliaire

(APU) est le Arctic Breeze Truck AC par Hammond Air Conditioning. Ce sys-tème de climatisation à 12V/DC ne fait pas de bruit ni de vibration et utilise des ressources d’énergie renouvelables. Avec un retour potentiel de seule-ment 12 mois, le Arctic Breeze n’utilise que 45 ampères et fournit 8000 BTU de refroidissement. « Basé sur un cycle de 50 à 60%, le système ne con-somme que un moyen de 650 watts à l’ heure » ainsi dit le site web de la com-pagnie. Le Arctic Breeze prend sa puissance de 6 batteries de camion qui maintiennent un niveau de confort optimale de 12 à 16 heures, dépendant de l’heure du jour, de la couleur du camion et du nombre d’accessoires.

Cool Moves, une com-pagnie basée à Concord, Ontario, offre une série de solutions de refroid-issement écologiques. Ses deux produits, By-cool et Minicool, sont des systèmes légers et de puissance basse qui se conforment à toutes les normes écologiques. Les modèles Mochila, Revolu-tion, Dynamic et Compact se montent facilement sur

le mur oû sur le toit de la cabine. Le système de refroidissement évapora-teur se composent de l’unité elle-même et d’un réservoir d’eau. Un tab-leau de bord permet au conducteur de modérer le débit de l’eau, la vitesse du ventilateur et les ar-rêts éventuels. La pompe montée sur le réservoir qui contrôle le débit de l’eau marche sans bruit et en accord avec le réglage prévu sur le tableau de bord. Ce processus élim-ine la chaleur et ne laisse qu’un air frais légèrement humidifié. Le réservoir n’a besoin que de l’eau du rob-inet chaque deux ou trois jours. Des démonstrations à des expositions commer-ciales ont confirmé que ces unités utilisent de l’énergie de façon efficace; chaque unité a marché pendant trois jours, à raison d’une batterie du groupe 31 chacune. Le Mochila et Revolution ont été vérifiés par Smartway.

Les systèmes de cli-matisation démontrent encore une fois la flexibi-lité de l’industrie de trans-port qui se montre à la hauteur d’accepter le défi des normes plus strictes écologiques.V

Les consommateurs à travers le Qué-bec con t inuen t

toujours de payer le prix pour le problème du vol de véhicules. Voilà pourquoi Repérage Boomerang, chef de file au Canada en repérage de véhicules volés, a lancé pour la troisième fois en juillet le mois de la sensibilisation au vol de véhicules afin de fournir aux conducteurs de précieux renseigne-ments sur comment bien se protéger.

NOuVEllEs méthODEs

De récentes statistiques publiées par Statistiques Canada démontrent que

125,000 véhicules ont dis-paru au Canada en 2008, un toutes les quatre min-utes, confirmant que le vol de véhicules demeure un crime coûteux pour chaque conducteur sur la route.

Le taux de vols de véhicules à Montréal est de 30% supérieur à la moy-enne canadienne et 50 véhicules par jour sont volés dans les rues de Montréal. Plus alarmant encore, le BAC rapporte que 2 sur 3 véhicules volés dans la région de Montréal ne sont pas récupérés. Cela est dû en grande partie au fait que la ma-jorité des vols de véhicules est l’œuvre de voleurs professionnels.

Peter Lambrinakos,

Commandant du SPVM (Service de police de la Ville de Montréal), note que les voleurs utilisent de nouveaux moyens pour voler des véhicules. «Cer-taines organisations re-tirent la serrure de la porte du véhicule, branchent un ordinateur au module de commande du moteur, extraient les informations du véhicule, remettent la serrure et sortent du véhicule. Avec cette in-formation en main, les vo-leurs peuvent facilement faire une copie de la clé et peuvent ainsi voler le véhicule lorsque bon leur semblera. D’autres voleurs partent à la recherche de voitures de luxe à travers les annonces classées sur Internet. Ils appellent

alors le propriétaire pour un rendez-vous, font un essaie routier avec la voi-ture et la vole, » conclut le Commandant Lambrina-kos.lEs CONséquENCEs Du

Bien qu’il est vrai que la plupart des polices d’assurance couvre la perte d’un véhicule, les conduc-teurs doivent s’attendre à payer au moins 2,500 $ de leur poche en dépenses reliées au vol tel que les items volatilisés dans le véhicule, la perte d’usage du véhicule, la perte de l’acompte initial, les éven-tuels frais de location de voiture et l’augmentation de la prime d’assurance sur un véhicule de rem-placement. « Chaque con-

ducteur a une part à jouer afin d’arrêter le vol de véhicules: il est essentiel que les consommateurs jouent un rôle proactif afin de se protéger eux-mêmes. Nous croyons que plus le conducteur utilise de couches de protection, plus son véhicule sera en sécurité, » affirme Scott Nilson, Directeur général de Repérage Boomerang.

Pour éduquer la popu-lation face au vol de véhicules, Repérage Boomerang a publié le guide de protection contre le vol de véhicules Sur les traces. On y retrouve un survol de l’état du vol de véhicules au Canada ainsi

que des quatre moyens de prévention contre le vol. Une version électronique est disponible sur le www.reperageboomerang.com/connaissance.

Repérage Boomerang à mis à jour sa chaîne sur YouTube avec le témoign-age en trois parties d’une résidente de Montréal qui a expérimenté le vol de son véhicule trois mois seulement après qu’elle l’ait acheté et peut être vi-sionné sur le http://www.youtube.com/boomer-angtracking.

Depuis sa création en 1995, Repérage Boomer-ang a repéré près de 7,000 véhicules représentant une valeur de plus de 350 millions $, incluant les repérages fortuits.V

Santa Fe Springs, CA (July 16, 2010) – MAXON Lift Corp.

is pleased to announce Arnold Kowal’s newly ap-pointed role as Product Manager. Arnold brings well over 25 years of in-dustry experience to this position. His knowledge of

the liftgate industry makes him the ideal candidate to fulfill this demanding role. As Product Manager, Ar-nold will manage, coordin-ate, and provide strategic planning of activities con-cerned with the research and development of new or improved concepts, ideas, basic product data and applications for all of Maxon’s products. “Arnold is a seasoned professional with extensive technical experience and liftgate product knowledge.

Maxon Lift Corp. was founded in 1957. That same year, owner Max Lugash invented the TUK-A-WAY® liftgate, which remains the largest selling style of liftgate in North America. For more than fifty years, Maxon Lift Corp. has initiated and de-veloped a variety of innov-ative products that have become truck equipment industry benchmarks.

More company informa-tion can be obtained from Maxon and local Maxon sales representatives at 1-800-227-4116 or www.maxonlift.com.V

Santa Fe Springs, California, July 2, 2010 – MAXON Lift

Corp. and Purkeys Fleet Electric have formalized their decade-long informal relationship with a stra-tegic partnership agree-ment. Both companies are the leaders in their respective areas: MAXON is the largest single brand manufacturer of lift gates in the world and Purkeys Fleet Electric is the indus-try expert when it comes to the electrical needs of national fleets. The ultim-ate goal of this partnership is to combine our industry experience resulting in the best product available to-day: the correct lift gate for our customer’s application AND the best electrical system to keep the lift gate (along with other truck/trailer attachments) run-ning and on the road.

Battery charging issues have always been a hot topic for fleets. Lately, these issues have escal-ated due to new idling laws that put additional constraints on recharging times for batteries. Addi-

tionally, more and more attachments and tools on trucks and trailers are in need of electric power. This partnership will aid in resolving the issues arising at the point of sales regarding what is needed in terms of the lift gate and total battery charging capacity. This cooperation will result in a greater body of knowledge that will get incorporated into MAXON’s future lift gate designs.

Purkeys Fleet Electric owner, Bruce Purkey, is a well known expert in the transport industry. With well over 32 years of combined experience, Bruce is known as TMC’s “Doctor Electricity” and a Silver Spark Plug recipient. Bruce’s other achieve-ments include: developing and running the electrical skills station for TMC’s Super Tech competition since it started back in 2005; he’s served as a member on the board of ASE for mechanic certifi-cation; he’s assisted with writing electrical test ma-terial for ASE; he’s worked

with fleets on electrical issues and has been de-veloping solutions for the past 3 decades; with the aid of his team, Bruce has conducted electrical training for both large and small fleets and he’s developed testing tools, procedures and products to make working on elec-trical systems an easier and more exact science for fleets, tractors and trailers.

Purkeys Fleet Electric has been serving heavy-duty fleets’ electrical needs for over twenty years. Based in Northwest Arkansas, Purkeys Fleet Electric serves many regional and national fleets across North America. They pride themselves on providing the highest level of elec-trical expertise to every customer.

Purkeys Fleet Electric’s goal is to help their cus-tomers reduce their elec-trical maintenance costs and equipment usage so they get the most out of their electrical equipment. Their approach is to look at the electrical system as

a whole, not just the com-ponent parts. They work hard so that their cus-tomers get the maximum return on investment with their electrical systems.

Purkeys Fleet Electric’s

customers range from small operations to the largest trucking compan-ies in the nation. They provide the highest level of service to all customers regardless of how many

trucks in their fleet. They work with heavy-duty vehicles of all types.

More company infor-mation can be obtained at 800.219.1269 or www.purkeys.net.V

By BRENDA RICKER

In the last few months we have talked a lot about “emptying your

bucket”, cleansing the body, nutrients the body needs to be heal thy, good digestion, water and many other topics. Chemicals and toxins are factors we must get rid of out of our bodies to experience optimal health. People are be-coming aware that being tired, lacking energy and

vitality is not the way to live.

As you know chemicals and toxins are all around us and are creating many diseases and the body is losing its ability to deal with them and we are feeling the effects.

We know that chem-icals and toxins are the primary cause of illness,

d isease and obesi ty! They accumulate over time and cause the liver and kidneys to become overworked and weak and they accumulate in fat tissue. The more chemicals and toxins, the more fat the body manufactures. Weight loss diets or cleansers containing Ma Hung,

ephedra and caffeine is primarily water and lean muscle loss. Minimal fat is lost because cleansing of body systems is not addressed. Chemicals and toxins are bound within fat t issue and need specific nutrients to release them safely and effectively.

Have you wanted to

take charge o f your health and feel the posi-tive effects? If so, I have written articles I would like to send you to help you regain your health.

Email me at health_you_deserve@yahoo .ca and I will send this information to you. I wish everyone GREAT HEALTH!V

Renton, WA (July 9th, 2010) - TRP(TM) Aftermarket Parts

recently introduced pre-mium high-density foam and innerspring mattress-es for sleeper bunks in a variety of sizes.

TRP innerspring mat-tresses feature a high thread count and a three-layer quilted design that resists tearing according to tests conducted under rigorous Cornell Industry test standards for dur-ability.

The innerspring mat-tress is 7-inches thick and features a design that limits horizontal motion which minimizes friction in the springs and reduces motion and noise, and is

ideal for team drivers. The quality of the innerspring construction means long-er wear and a straight cut foam topper over the top and bottom of the mat-tress provides an added layer of comfort.

The 5-inch thick foam mattress features pre-mium high-density foam that of-fers full body support. “By adding either a q u a l i t y innerspring or foam mattress to their trucks, owner/oper-ators and fleets can make their work environments more comfortable and productive,” said Everett Seymoure, Global Man-

ager for TRP.“TRP mattresses are

compet i t ive ly -pr iced aftermarket products that meet or exceed ori-ginal equipment specifica-

t ions,” Sey-moure said. Manufac-tured in North America, TRP mattresses also meet or exceed U.S. Depart-

ment of Transportation regulations for flammabil-

ity resist-

ance.TRP’s

p r e - mium inner-spring mattresses are available in 25-inch by

79-inch or 31-inch by 79-inch sizes. For larger re-quirements the mattress

is available in 26-inch by 80-inch, 31-

inch by 80-inch, 38-inch

by 80-inch, 39-inch by 80-inch or

42-inch by 80-inch sizes.TRP’s comfortable

5-inch thick foam mat-tress is available in a 31-inch by 79-inch or 35-inch by 79-inch size and also 36-inch by 80-inch, 38-inch by 80-inch, 39-inch by 80-inch or 42-inch by 80-inch.

Both the foam and inner-spring mattresses come delivered in “tight roll”

packages, which enable them to be easily trans-ported and installed.

TRP Aftermarket Parts for commercial vehicles are available through a network of authorized retailers that include Ken-worth, Peterbilt, and DAF dealerships around the world. From dump trucks to cement mixers, deliv-ery vans to tractor trailers, school buses to transit buses, TRP offers reliable aftermarket products that are designed and tested to exceed customers’ ex-pectations regardless of the vehicle make, model or age.

TRP Launches Premium Mattress Line

By BRENDAN FINNERty

In today’s fast paced world of technology, thieves are becom-

ing smarter and faster so systems are changed to adapt. With large in-vestments in equipment for transport companies and other sectors that have commercial vehicles this is becoming a major problem. Because of this, insurance costs go up, new equipment must be obtained and loss of time and money are felt.

The theft problem the trucking industry faces is significant. Canadian companies shipping goods

lose up to 8.5 billion dol-lars per year to cargo theft. Fortunately prevention technology is keeping up.

Big things do come in small packages, the Smart Antenna is easy to install and hard to defeat, it is an industrial strength solu-tion for GPS fleet track-ing. The engine’s 160dBm acquisition sensitivity

enables acquisition and tracking performance in the harshest signal en-vironment, including but not limited to weak sig-nal environment such as urban canyons and/or remote locations.

If you are looking for se-curity for your loads, this system can do that and more. It can locate your vehicles 24/7, 365 days a year in real time. Better dispatch and supervision allowing more service calls to be completed and it also verifies employee activity and reduces over-time.

Save on fuel costs by

eliminating personal usage of company vehicles and reducing excessive idling. Generate comprehensive reports detailing start/stop activity, route replay, beginning and end of day, trips to saved locations and mileage totals, etc. It can even send directions to your drivers if they are lost.

Verify employee, on the job site data or arrival time for improved customer service and billing. Track maintenance service points and receive alerts for vehicles that are due for service/inspection, resulting in less wear and

tear which extends vehicle life. Receive e-mail alerts for speeding and off hours or weekend use resulting in decreased insurance and liability costs.

We also offer the abil-ity to track trailers at specific intervals at any time. Updates are typically provided 1 - 2 times per day. See trailers on the Teluware console along with other vehicles in the account using different Teluware applications. Alerts may be triggered for un-authorized movement or door open events.

Refrigerated temper-ature monitoring inside

both trailers and dedi-cated refrigerated com-partments for the purpose of reducing loss of perish-ables due to non-working refrigeration units. Set temperatures at 2 minute update readings; set alerts for temperature readings that go above or below user settings.

With so many more ser-vices we have to offer, I am sure we are able to meet your needs and get you going. For more infor-mation, call 514-601-2650 or send an email to bren-nalex@hotmail.com or visit our website at www.reltima.com.V

Bergstrom Inc. is the leading designer and manufacturer

of cab climate systems for heavy duty commer-cial trucks, off-highway machines and specialty vehicles. By combining progressive engineering talent, lean manufactur-ing principals and a global footprint, Bergstrom offers a unique blend of commer-cial vehicle marketplace focus and customer value. With facilities in four con-tinents, they are poised to service any market including but not limited to truck, bus, m i l -i tary, c o n -struc-t i o n , a g r i -c u l -t u r e , a n d other u n -c o n -v e n -tional c o m -m e r -c i a l vehicles.

In addi-

tion to cab climate systems Bergstrom provides after-market air conditioning systems and parts as well as heating replacement parts for heavy-duty cli-mate systems.

Bergstrom’s NITE (No-Idle Thermal Environment) products are designed to keep drivers comfortable in any condition.

NITE Plus is an energy ef-ficient and environmental-ly-friendly no-idling sleep-er solution that complies with all idle restriction

laws. Running 8-10 hours on 4 AGM deep cycle batteries, it fea-

tures 4,600 BTU/h cool-ing capacity.

NITE Phoe-n i x u s e s

comparable levels of battery

power as other no-idle solutions, but as a result of its larger compressor it keeps drivers cooler. The system has the highest and longest cooling capacity of any battery-powered, no-idle solution on the market. Featuring 7,500 BTU/h cooling capacity, the NITE Phoenix delivers the powerful system that drivers need to stay cool and comfortable in areas of the country that are extremely hot.

In addition to enhance-ments made to the electric-al system, the NITE Phoe-nix also includes a new LCD digital user interface and battery monitoring system that make it easier for drivers to control the unit. Features include on-board service diagnostics,

automatic tem-p e r -a t u r e c o n -t r o l and a check f i l t e r func-tion.N I T E

Day Cab was developed in response to a growing demand for solu-

t i o n s to re-d u c e idling in the day cab industry. The sys-tem uses the same technology as Berg-s t r o m ’ s p o p u l a r NITE Plus unit, but i s i n -s t a l l e d as a split system. T h e c o m -pressor and evapor-ator are installed between the truck’s seats, and the condenser is mounted re-motely to the exterior of the cab and features a 7,200 BTU/h cooling cap-acity.

“The goal in developing our line of battery-powered NITE systems is to provide drivers with an effective solution to maintaining comfort while adhering to no-idling restrictions,” said Bill Gordon, National Dir-ector of Aftermarket and

Director of Global Marketing for Bergstrom. As battery-powered, no-idling systems, the CARB-approved NITE systems are able to generate a high BTU cooling capacity without sending damag-ing emissions into the environment. This helps drivers reduce emissions and comply with increas-ingly stringent anti-idling laws. It also helps save money, reducing the aver-age truck’s fuel usage,

some by 3,790 gallons a year, and saving the owner more than $12,000 a year in reduced fuel costs and maintenance, based on the national average of idling 8 hours a day, 300 days a year and current fuel prices.

“Battery-powered auxiliary units

s u c h a s ours are a v e r y effective way for trucking f l e e t s to save money

o n f u e l

during t h e s e

challenging times. We are very pleased to provide trucking fleets with this more efficient system, ” said Bill Gordon. Berg-strom’s NITE Plus system is currently available as factory installed options on Freightliner Cascadia trucks and International® ProStar® and LoneStar® trucks.

Psa lm 119:5 “Oh that my ways were steadfast in obeying

your decrees (statutes).”Christians are people

w h o a c k n o w -ledge and live by the Word of God (Bible) . The Chr is-tians’ eyes are on the G o d o f

the Bible, as their Father and Christ as their Sav-iour. Their consciences are captive to the Word of God, and they aspire, like the psalmist, to have their whole lives brought into line with it.

A Christian that lives by the precepts of Scrip-ture enjoys the peace of Christ and totally trusts God for the future. The promises of Scripture are before

them as they pray, and the precepts are before them as they go about their daily tasks. Chris-tians know that the Bible has gone forth to create and control and order things around them, and this thought brings them only joy. Christians are independent folks for they use the Word of God (Bible) as a touchstone by which to test the various views that are put to them, and they will

not touch any-thing they are not sure that S c r i p t u r e sanctions.

We fur -ther find recorded in I Peter

2:9 (NIV), “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” Please note, God chose

us. We did not wake up one morning and decide to go find God, no God chose us. He also made us part of royal priesthood, a special people, and His very special people. Why? Because, He loved us and Jesus Christ gave Himself

for us so we could be pre-sented blameless, perfect, and sinless before our Heavenly Father. We may hear words something like this, “Father, (Dad), my death on the cross paid for his/her sins in full.” Praise God.V

tRANsPORt FOR ChRIst

What is a Christian?

By lINA DEmEDEIROs

In November, 2009 an amendment to Bill 119 mandating WSIB

coverage for independent contractors and/or sole proprietors came into ef-fect. The objective of Bill 119 is taking all reason-able steps to minimize the company’s risk exposures to its drivers and owner/operators in the event of an injury.

The fleet owner must take all reasonable steps to minimize the company’s risk exposure relative to its owner/operators, contract drivers and employees. In the absence of this, most

commercial insurance policies may not recognize a claim against it.

When a company uses contractor workers such as owner/operators and contract drivers they should establish a basic program to help the busi-ness minimize the liability issues arising from worker injuries. These programs fall under two categories; Supplemental Plans for individuals who must have WSIB by law, and Alterna-tive Plans for individuals who are NOT required by law to be covered by WSIB.

Supplemental plans cov-er situations where WSIB does not pay a benefit; alternative offers 24 Hour coverage and covers both occupational and non-occupational injuries. The company responsibility is to implement, enroll and collect premiums.

The Plan design con-siderations for trucking

have been in place for years. The following are some guidelines for “Prop-er” alternatives to WSIB; 24 Hour Loss of Income to age 65 or 70, illness income benefits from 30th day of illness maximum of 5 years not necessarily as high as income benefits, and $300,000 of accidental and dismemberment or co-ordination of benefits. Also, Out of Country of up to 30 days, catered to the individual owner/oper-ator’s needs, Overhead Expense Reimbursement for owner/operators in-cluding illness coverage.

Health, Drugs and Dental Benefits

Bill 119 does not sug-gest that a fleet owner or owner/operator become an insurance expert since a financial advisor fulfills this role. The key is to limit overall potential liability back to the company and its respective contractors or employees.

Many businesses are unaware that they may be exposing themselves to a significant financial liabil-ity that may arise if they do not take reasonable steps to ensure there is adequate protection.

Some key concerns amongst fleet owners are; the possibility of a suit for negligence and contest-able rehabilitation and re-training allowances. The company may be held liable for the differences amounting to thousands of dollars for a long term permanent disability.

Allow the independent to make independent de-cisions and to find their own coverage. This could leave the company open to costly litigation and compensation if there is a workplace injury.

These key concerns have been addressed by many fleet owners to their dis-advantage by focusing on costing. Some solutions

such as tradition group in-surance may impact their status with Canada Rev-enue Agency as well as the nature of the relationship employer or employee relationship.

The best solution is to create standardized man-datory programs for all owner/operators, tailor plans to meet their specific

needs and ensure that you have taken reasonable steps to reduce your com-pany’s risk exposure.

The Impact of Bill 119 on Trucking?

By KElly lIEsE POtVIN

First it started with the phone cal ls coming in on June

10th. Clients had received the NEW HST rebate cheques and wanted to

know what they were. Did they have to pay it back? Will it affect their taxes at the end of the year? Some clients called to complain they had not received a cheque. Their friend/family even spouse had received one and they were still waiting. Did I apply for it when I had prepared their 2009 Taxes? Finally, why did some taxpayers receive $100.00 while others re-ceived $330.00?

I had to explain the same answers over and over

to many clients. For all the propaganda the gov-ernment had put out re-garding the HST, many people still did not have a clue what to expect when they received their cheques. Some wondered HOW it affected them per-sonally and which spouse received it, or why there was a monetary difference in the cheques.

The HST cheque that has arrived is one of three non-taxable cheques expected for taxpayers who are 18 and over and who filed or

will file a 2009 tax return. Cheques were disbursed June 10th to the taxpay-ers that were eligible [less than $160,000 family in-come or $80,000 single] and had their taxes AS-SESSED by May 10th. For taxes assessed after May 10th, cheques or deposits were issued 4-8 weeks later. If the taxpayers were married or living together, then the cheques were issued to the first one who filed. If a taxpayer turns 18 prior to December 1st, 2010 they may be eligible

to the December 2010 and June 2011 cheques.

The following 2nd and 3rd cheque is expected to be released in December 2010 and June 2011.

You must f i le your taxes to receive the HST cheque.

Well, there is another look into the HST from the taxpayer rebate side of it. If you have any further questions or want to learn more, you can access the HST link from my website at www.itsallaboutnum-bers.com. Kelly Potvin is

an accredited Bookkeep-er/Tax Preparer who has been in the accounting business for 20 years.

As a side note, I will be visiting Halifax the first two weeks of August and available to meet with any Owner/Operators to discuss what services, It’s All About Numbers has to offer. Please feel free to call or text me on my cell at 613-340-8409 if you have any questions or would like to make ar-rangements to meet with me.V

As much as we all know that it is a pain every

time we want to cross the borders in and out of Canada/U.S.A., we have good reasons for height-ened security initiatives. The following are some recent border incidents.

July 2nd, 300 pounds of high-grade marijuana were seized at the Cas-cade, BC & Laurier, WA border; it was concealed within a commercial load of woodchips destined for the Avista Utilities gen-erating station in Kettle Falls, WA. Matthew Tutt, 31 of North Vancouver,

B.C. a commercial truck driver, was arrested.

The tractor-trailer com-bination was escorted to the utilities station and its cargo offloaded under CBP supervision when wooden crates were ob-served sliding out of the rear of the trailer into the station’s hopper. Five crates were retrieved and a CBP narcotic detector dog named Diesel gave a positive alert to the pres-ence of a narcotic odour. The crates contained 255 plastic bags, 300 pounds of marijuana suspected to be “BC Bud,” a highly potent form of marijuana cultivated in British Col-umbia, Canada, and can sell for $3,500 to $6,000 a pound. Tutt was taken into custody on site by CBP officers and turned over to agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations

for his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Spokane, WA.

July 10th, 5 PM, CBP offi-cers were screening trav-elers when they became suspicious of a man and the documents he was presenting in order to gain entry into the U.S. CBP officers examined the documents closer and found that the Visa was a counterfeit document. The man was a repeat offender and was pro-cessed for removal from the U.S.

July 13th, Canada’s Pub-lic Safety Minister, Vic Toews and U.S. Depart-ment of Homeland Se-curity Secretary, Janet Napolitano, met to ad-vance a strategic dia-logue on developing a shared vision for border security for Canada and the United States. “Our mutual security extends beyond our borders and we must work together to mitigate threats before they reach either Canada or the U.S. while facilitat-ing the legitimate mobil-ity of people and goods between us” said Minis-ter Toews. Joint Border Threat and Risk Assess-ment, releasing later this summer, outlines areas of concern along U.S./Can-ada borders where there is the potential of terror-

ism and transnational organized crime. Issues addressed are; drug traf-ficking, illegal immigra-tion, illicit movement of prohibited or controlled

goods, agricultural haz-ards, and the spread of infectious disease.

Many articles have been wri t ten about the forth-

coming changes to the accident benefits coverage which will be implemented September 1st, 2010. For most reading these docu-ments it is far more com-plex than reading a War and Peace novel. For many they will be looking for reduction in premiums to coincide with the reduction

of benefits – well it just isn’t going to happen.

A couple changes have been implemented already. For example a capped limit now applies to minor injur-ies and the extraction of entitlement to attendant care benefits for injuries qualifying within the minor injury category.

Within the Province of Ontario, the accident benefits coverage has been abused and statistically

is ranked highest across Canada for loss payments. Modifications have taken place through the years however with the new reform coverage will be re-stricted. Some benefit pay-ments will now fall within the limits provided for the injuries, income replace-ment will be based on a reduced percentage and as noted above, some cover-age removed altogether. All insurers will provide

options in most categor-ies to “buy back” coverage if possible within each category.

When thinking of the current system versus the new regime, the thought process is much different on a personal basis than it is on a transportation or business level. For those working within the insur-ance industry we are spear-heading how to incorporate the forthcoming changes

into the renewal process and providing as much documentation as possible to our clients regarding the changes September 1st, 2010. As mandated, all Insurers have sent out notices of the impending changes of the Insurance Act to each one of their policyholders. Between this correspondence and the material sent from your Broker, we encourage you to contact your Insurance

Broker along with your Broker providing benefits and discuss. Going forward your Broker will (or should) ensure that the auto re-newal discussions will in-volve dialogue of the new changes to the insurance act and how it impacts your business.

Yanke Group of Companies has al-ways fully valued

and promoted safety, both in the workplace, and on our nation’s highways. More recently Yanke took this focus to a new level through a newly created safety incentive program called “Be the One”. The goal of this initiative was to increase everyone’s awareness with respect to safety, and make safety a personal mission state-ment, challenging each staff member to “Be the One”.

This was accomplished through safety breakfasts, seminars, and on line video presentations to EVERY staff member at the Yanke Group of Compan-ies. Our staff and Profes-sional Transport Oper-ators worked together to bring safety to a personal level, resulting not only in a very positive change to

corporate safety culture, but ultimately a signifi-cant overall savings in the physical, emotional and financial impact accidents have on the organization and the public at large.

Since incorporating the program in 2009, Yanke had an impressive 48.50% reduction in accident costs compared to the previous fiscal year. The majority of incidents occur in 7 different categories, and Yanke realized significant reductions in 6 of these categories, including an astounding 94.32% reduc-tion in “leaving road way” accidents alone.

The “Be The One” safety program began with gen-eral awareness sessions across Canada, and it in-cluded a “Be the One” re-minder decal affixed prom-inently on each power unit and featured incentive draws for all operators that met the qualifying

criteria between Nov-ember 1st, 2009 through to April 30th, 2010. The draws included 6 monthly home furnishing packages worth $5,000 each, and a Grand Prize draw for a NEW 2010 pickup truck of their choosing worth up to $50,000. To be included in the draws, certain qualify-ing conditions had to be met including attendance at an awareness session, achieving a minimum amount of miles driven and remaining accident/incident free.

Yanke is proud and pleased with the over-whelming commitment to “Be the One”, which resulted in a total of 468 drivers entered into the draws!! Yanke is also pleased to announce that one of its long serving Professional Operators, Brian “Huggy” Halabura, was drawn from all the entries and became the

winner of a brand new FORD F-150 pickup this past week. Yanke wishes to congratulate all of its Operators and staff for their commitment to “Be the One”, and helping to make the roads a safer place for us all.

Yanke Group of Compan-ies provides transportation solutions in partnership

with its customers across North America and around the globe. Yanke operates 5 different business units that provide a “one stop” source of transportation services, they include: Yanke Specialized Road Services, Yanke Multi-modal Services, Yanke Supply Chain Services, Yanke Global Logistics

Services, and Aero De-livery.

Yanke offers a wide range of service options includ-ing freight forwarding, air cargo, international steam-ship line containers, inland rail, domestic double stack rail, full truckload dry van services, temperature con-trolled services, and local warehousing.V

“Be the One” Safety Incentive – Wins A Truck!

Th e W H I T I N G ® Group of Canada recently introduced

an automatic, remote con-trolled; roll-up door open-er called CommandLIFT™. The revolutionary Com-mandLIFT™ door opener is designed to be used with the extensive line of

quality r o l l - u p doors that are manufac-tured in Can-ada by WHITING® Door in Burlington, Ontario.

After conducting ex-tensive surveys of fleet owners and operators of

local delivery vehicles and long-haul trucks and trail-ers, WHITING® was able to identify five major industry concerns.

Safety of the Drivers: The truck driving population is aging, and after a long day on the road, many drivers find it difficult to climb up to the door sill to open and close the roll-up door of their trailer. With the push of a button on the vehicle’s key fob, the driver or warehouse person can open and close the roll-up door without even touch-ing it. The Command-LIFT™ door opener works 24-hours a day and never takes a holiday. Claims for worker’s compensation due to shoulder, back and knee injuries are always

a major concern. Using the CommandLIFT™ door opener to open and close roll-up doors will help keep drivers on the job and not at home recover-ing from injury.

Security of Cargo: The CommandLIFT™ door opener ensures that the roll-up doors are closed securely and will stay closed even if the driver

forgets to engage the latch on the door.

Fleet owners can feel more comfortable

that their cargo is secure while

on route to its destina-

tion.R e -duced

Door Maintenance: The CommandLIFT™ door opener opens and closes the roll-up door with a smooth controlled motion that will help reduce door maintenance, downtime and help increase the expected service life of the door components. The CommandLIFT™ door opener can be used on all WHITING®, double-torsion, spring balancer equipped roll-up doors.

Driver Retention: Having a perk like the Command-LIFT™ door opener will help fleets retain the best drivers available. Why would drivers look for em-ployment with companies where they will have to manually open and close roll-up doors all day?

Anything new, must be easy to Install and Maintain: Depending on the complexity of the vehicle’s wiring require-ments, The Command-LIFT™ door opener can usually be installed in a couple of hours. The unit

is installed on the existing roof bows and connects to the vehicle’s 12 or 24 volt battery.

The CommandLIFT™ door opener is a European designed product that is now being built in CAN-ADA by WHITING® Door.

Driver retention, secure cargo, reduced worker’s compensation claims, re-duced door maintenance and European technology all enhance the efficiency or your fleet.

Contact WHITING® Door at 877.845.3816 for more

information on how the CommandLIFT™ door opener can increase your fleet’s efficiency or go to www.commandlift.ca to see the features video of the revolutionary, new CommandLIFT™ door opener.V
