Brake Safety Week (SeptemBer 6 – 12) iS an annual outreach and enforcement campaign deSigned to improve commercial vehicle Brake Safety throughout north america.

WWelcome to the August 2015 edition of Road Today and thanks for your continued interest in the award-winning magazine for Canada’s multicultural trucking industry. Inside you will find the latest updates related to the trucking industry plus all regular features like Trucking Quotient Quiz, Road Safety Tips, Entertainment, Health Column, Kids Corner, and much more.

Congratulations to CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) for launching its Heads up! campaign with the help of the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario Provincial Police, York Regional Police and the Toronto Police Service. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness and educate drivers about the new laws and regulations following the passing of the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act. Effective September 1st, the new rules will include higher fines and demerit points for distracted drivers, changes to the Slow Down, Move Over law to include tow trucks and requirements for drivers to keep a distance of one-metre when passing cyclists, where practicable.

During the week of September 6-12, 2015, law enforcement agencies across North America will conduct brake system inspections on large trucks and buses to identify out-of-adjustment brakes and brake-system violations as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Brake Safety Week. Properly functioning brake systems are crucial to safe commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operation. CMV brakes are designed to hold up under tough conditions, but they must be routinely inspected and maintained carefully and consistently so they operate and perform properly throughout the vehicle’s life. Brake Safety Week is an annual outreach and enforcement campaign designed to improve commercial vehicle brake safety throughout North America.

The Fleet Safety Council’s 24th Annual Educational Conference will be held at the Centre for Health and Safety Innovation in Mississauga on October 2, 2015. This event brings together fleet safety professionals from the truck, bus, and courier industries as well as insurance and many other related businesses to discuss the latest in driver training, staff development, and risk management techniques. Road Today is pleased to be a media sponsor of this conference and we encourage you to register for a great learning and networking experience.

Team Canada won a record 217 medals at the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games to finish in the top two at the largest international multi-sport event the country has ever hosted. We congratulate all athletes and their coaches for a wonderful performance. Kudos to all stakeholders who contributed in making the Pan Am games a tremendous success especially in providing a satisfying transportation experience. Lot of efforts and planning went underway and we appreciate the patience of general public and businesses that did their part in the smooth conduct of games.

We always welcome your feedback and input. Feel free to connect through our social media platforms on Twitter and Facebook.

See you next month, Manan Gupta

Caa sCo launChes headS up! campaign

new road rules are coming to the province of Ontario this fall. That’s the main reason for CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) to launch its Heads up! campaign

with the help of the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario Provincial Police, York Regional Police and the Toronto Police Service.

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness and educate drivers about the new laws and regulations following the passing of the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act.

Effective September 1st, the new rules will include higher fines and demerit points for distracted drivers, changes to the Slow Down, Move Over law to include tow trucks and requirements for drivers to keep a distance of one-metre when passing cyclists, where practicable.

“As a tireless advocate for road users, CAA is pleased to see significant changes to address distracted driving, improve cycling in our province and provide enhanced safety measures for tow truck operators servicing motorists on Ontario’s roads. The Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act benefits all road users by increasing safety measures regardless of your mode of transportation,” said Teresa Di Felice, Director of Government and Community Relations and

Driver Training, CAA SCO.“Ontario is a world leader in road safety and

the new measures targeting distracted driving, cyclists and tow truck operator safety will help keep everyone on the road safe. Public education is key to tackling persistent, unsafe driver behaviour and I look forward to continuing to raise awareness with the CAA, police and our other valuable road safety partners,” said Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation.

durham Truck & Equipment based in Ajax has opened up a new location in the Peterborough area on Monday, July 20th in order to serve

their customers better. Located at 2504 Base Line Road in Otonabee, K9J6X9, the new 10,000 sq-ft location is a parts and service branch, with sales operation continue to be headquartered in Ajax.

The Peterborough location has about 6-8 staff, parts and service, to start, with a nightshift being added within the next 6 months as necessary. The facility includes a customer waiting area with coffee bar and brand new restroom facilities.

“We already service the area from our Ajax location, so we have an existing footprint in the area. Being local will allow us to better serve our existing customer base and provide opportunities for growth and expansion of our business and that of the manufacturers we represent. From a service perspective we were not providing our customers with easy access to routine service procedures and repairs. With 6 bays available in Peterborough, the growing need for a more accessible repair facility will be satisfied,” said Emily Paterson, Vice-President of Operations at Durham Truck & Equipment.

Established in 1996, Durham Truck & Equipment has become a premier new Mack, Volvo, Isuzu and used truck dealer. Serving the Eastern GTA, Durham Region and Peterborough area, the knowledgeable and enthusiastic team is always ready to provide a “Best in Class” experience.

western Star Truck Sales has partnered

with PALFINGER to develop a new

self-loader log truck that is among the

most productive and efficient in the

North American market.

The PALFINGER-built EPSILON A-Line M13A80

loader is mounted at the rear of a Western Star 4900SF.

A claw at the end of a boom picks up 16-foot logs and

deposits them in the bed of the truck. The combined

unit can be controlled by a single operator and used in

spaces too tight for a separate loader.

The crane is lighter and stronger than previous

models, which allows the truck to carry more logs,

achieve better mileage and comply with road weight

restrictions, said Tom Zwickle, national sales manager

at PALFINGER, the global leading manufacturer for

hydraulic lifting, loading and handling solutions.

The 4900SF is equipped with a 600-hp Detroit

DD16 engine and 18-speed manual transmission. The

combination gives the truck the power and handling

to negotiate logging roads while hauling a full load.

Features such as galvannealed steel cabs for strength

and safety, high ground clearance to handle ruts and

roomy interiors to keep operators comfortable even

during the longest days. The Western Star 4900 is one of the most powerful

and versatile trucks on the market. Multiple options

make it easy to spec the truck for a variety of uses,

from construction to towing to mining to logging.

navistar has announced that it will be first-to-market with the Eaton Procision line of

dual-clutch transmissions for its International DuraStar medium-duty trucks and IC Bus CE series school buses, available in late 2015. Based on Eaton’s testing, the new 7-speed transmissions deliver a significant fuel economy advantage compared to a similarly equipped vehicle with a torque converter automatic transmission. The Eaton Procision transmission features a dual-clutch design and electronic shifting that uses grade, vehicle weight and throttle input to provide optimal fuel efficiency and smooth, continuous delivery of torque.

The Eaton Procision dual-clutch technology allows for more efficient acceleration from a stopped position and optimizes shift points that will efficiently get to the highest gear. Gear changes are made by swapping the engine torque between clutches with the next gear preselected. The dual-clutch module is fully contained within the transmission,

hydraulically controlled and oil cooled for extended life.

The Eaton Procision includes features such as Eaton Dynamic Shifting, which allows the transmission to automatically switch between economy and performance shift schedules based on mass, grade and driver demand. Available torque, engine acceleration and grade drive dynamically modified base shift results. Economy and performance shift tables can be adjusted to tune an overall calibration to meet any customer’s specific needs.

Eaton Procision transmissions utilize a new synthetic transmission fluid that provides component protection while reducing maintenance costs, as part of 150,000 mile or 4-year lube and filter change intervals. The internal sump filter and electrical system do not require maintenance.

Procision gives drivers more control in all situations and best-in-class low speed maneuverability thanks to features such as Hill Helper, Creep Mode and Tap Down Shifting.

peterbiLt’s sMArtLinQ in production: greAter custoMer uptiMe, sAtisfAction And A new conVenient MobiLe App

peterbilt’s innovative SmartLINQ technology – a factory-installed, fully integrated remote diagnostics system standard on all trucks equipped with a PACCAR MX-13 engine – is now

in production and providing customers with even greater uptime and fleet management convenience.

Introduced in March, the SmartLINQ remote diagnostics system provides customers with real-time, at-a-glance fleet health to maximize uptime, keep deliveries on schedule and manage service events.

“SmartLINQ gives customers the tools they need for greater profitability, efficiency and productivity,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Assistant General Manager of Sales and Marketing. The SmartLINQ app is a free download through the Apple iTunes store and the

Android storefront. It is available now for Apple mobile devices and later this month for Android devices.

Woodall added that trucks equipped with SmartLINQ, which includes a complimentary two-year subscription to the service, are fully supported by Peterbilt dealers. The new, exclusive Peterbilt mobile app gives fleet managers and truck owners full access to the SmartLINQ portal, providing one-touch access to fleet health and the tools to schedule maintenance throughout Peterbilt’s North American dealer network.

With SmartLINQ, customers can choose to have the system communicate with Peterbilt dealerships should a vehicle need quick attention. The dealership can be notified of the vehicle’s arrival, and have a service bay, technician and parts at the ready.

last month we discussed potential hazards when making right turns in a large commercial vehicle, so this month we’ll review techniques for left turns.

There are several different ways to make a turn in a large vehicle and the method you use will depend

on factors such as:• The traffic• Whether you are driving a straight truck or

tractor-trailer• The size of the streets• Any obstacles nearby such as hydro poles, signs, light

standards• A few examples of the different methods of turning use

space in different parts of the road, including:• The intersection• The street that you are turning into• The street that you are turning fromAs you approach the intersection to make a turn, make

sure that you assess the situation and determine which of these paths you need to take to make the turn safely.

Just as with right turns, you must make sure you turn wide enough to keep your vehicle from cutting the corner. If you turn too soon, the left side of your vehicle may hit another vehicle in the intersection or run over a median because of off-tracking. Here are some other things to watch for when turning left:• Turn only when there is enough time for the rear of

the vehicle to clear the intersection without forcing opposing drivers to slow down or swerve.

• Assume that drivers coming from the other direction won’t see you. They may be not be paying full attention.

• If there are two turning lanes, turn from the right-hand turn lane to allow for your vehicle’s off-tracking.

• Remember - don’t expect other drivers to make room for you - always choose a lane that is safe and available to you!

a personal credit score is a performancenumber of how you pay your credit cards, phone, internet and loans, the higher the score the better your

creditworthiness. While 57% of consumers have an excellent credit score of 760+, 4% of consumershave the poorestcredit score of 300-559 .Canada has three credit reporting agencies, TransUnion Canadais a consumer only credit agency, Equifax Canada is a consumer and corporate credit agency andDun & Bradstreet Canada is a corporate only credit agency. The Beacon score is the consumer credit score at Equifax and FICO is consumercredit score at Transunion. Credit card companies, banks, finance companies and credit unions pay Equifax and Transunionto access your consumer credit report and score.

1.Don’t Pay your Bills on time. • Payment history is one of the most

important measures of a credit score. Paying one day late, hurts your credit

six wAys to destroy your

score. The Equifax credit report includes Beacon and Bankruptcy Navigator Index 2.0 (BNI) scores. The three most important things in the Beacon scoring formula are; payment history, available credit and length of credit history. The BNI is a stress test on available credit, it shows the likelihood of becoming bankrupt over a 2 year period. A low BNI score means you are close to your available limits.

• Credit agencies may provide a credit rating from 1-9for various credit, R = revolving credit used with credit cards, I = loans with installment payments, M= Mortage and O= Operating for phone/internet bills. R1means you pay your bills within 30 days of the due date, R2 means that payment is made within 60 days and R9 means you don’t pay your bills.

2. shoP arounD for CreDit• It seems natural to shop around

for the best deal - a word of caution,shopping aroundmay decrease your score. The credit industry views“credit seekers” negatively. Inquiries on your credit count towards your credit score and remain on your Equifax report for 3 years and on your Transunionreport for 6 years. Understand that lenders can see other lenders that looked at your account, and this may reduce your bargaining power.Ask the lender to hold off assessing your credit until you gather more information about their rates and payment structures.

• Personal credit score information cannot be accessed without your consent.

• According to Equifax, their scoring formula will not penalize you for shopping for mortgage rates or car loans as long as it is done within a two-week period.

3. Paying minimum BalanCes• Making minimum payments on your

credit card may not help your score. Credit cards charge high interest rates and are an expensive way to carry debt. To a creditor, the use of

credit cards as a line of credit or loan signals a potential issue. According to the Office of Consumer Affairs, even consumersthat use credit cards to their limit and paythem off are seen as higher risk.

• Equifax reports that 50% of consumer bankruptcies arise from consumers without prior bankruptcy offenses. The BNI 2.0 predicts potential for bankruptcy for individuals that may not have prior delinquent debt. When you pay off loans and credit cards the BNI is updated right away and will increase.

4. avoiD a CreDit history• You may have a low score for two

reasons, if you lack a record showing owing money and paying it back or if your credit is new.

5. Destroy your CreDit life line• When you run up your total credit

limit, you are seen by creditors as a higher risk. A lender does not want to extend credit to someone highly leveraged or if they do, they will charge high rates. Low BNI scores indicate that you have a limited life line.

• Equifax suggests that you use less than 35% of your available credit

• Request a credit limit increase to get closer to 35% of your available credit.

6. not taking Charge of your CreDit sCore• Obtain a free credit report when you

complete and mail an online form with Equifax or Transunion- fees may apply to obtain your credit score.

• Credit agencies keep information on your credit report for at least 6 years. Over time with good financial habits, you can improve your credit score.

• Errors and fraud may exist with your credit score. It is your right to dispute errors on your report. To address errors contact the lender, Equifax andTransunion and get the error fixed.

The Region of Peel will open the new Emil Kolb Parkway (Regional Road 150) to traffic onAugust 10. The 4.2 km road connects Hwy 50 north of Bolton to Coleraine Drive, to

complete the bypass around the Bolton core, eliminating the need for through traffic to use Queen Street (Regional Road 50) while relieving traffic volumes through the downtown. Two new two-lane roundabouts at both ends of the Emil Kolb Parkway will also be open and functional.

“The Emil Kolb Parkway is over 20 years in the making and extremely important to the residents and businesses in Bolton,” said Frank Dale, Peel Regional Chair. “The parkway will help address the future needs of the growing community, and will be a benefit to drivers and to those who choose to walk and cycle in this scenic landscape by using the new multi-use trail.”

The two new roundabouts are the first two-lane roundabouts in Peel. They are located at the new King Street West alignment where Duffy’s Lane formerly intersected, and where the parkway connects at Highway 50 north of the Bolton core. People can visitpeelregion.ca/roundabouts to learn how to drive through the roundabouts.

A new multi-use trail offers multi-modal options to the community. The trail starts at King Street West/Coleraine Drive and leads to the old Humber River bridge converted exclusively for cycling and pedestrian use, and connects to the existing Humber Valley Heritage Trail. This trail provides safe travel, separated from traffic, and encourages positive lifestyle choices.

other features inCluDe:• Two new bridges that span the existing

Humber River and tributary to the Humber River.

• Landscaping includes planting 2,150 trees and 3,400 shrubs and perennials of various species.

stone chips and glass repair are part of life as a vehicle owner. Windshields get chipped and cracked all the time. While stone chips are

often inopportune, they cannot be neglected and should be attended to in short order.

Even though they may seem minor, small stone chips can quickly develop into a costly repair job. Chips grow when pressure is placed on your windshield. Pressure can come from a variety of sources, even something as minor as taking your car though the car wash or when changes in temperature occur. And, once they grow into a crack, they can no longer be fixed and your windshield will need to be replaced.

“Most insurance policies will cover the cost of stone chip repairs without impact to your policy rate,” says Wayne Ross, an insurance expert at Aviva Canada. “So people don’t need to be afraid to contact their insurance company about it.”

Being proactive and repairing a chip in your windshield can save drivers a significant amount of money. A windshield replacement can cost anywhere from a couple hundred dollars, to $1,500 and therefore, fast action is crucial.

A cracked windshield is also a

safety hazard. If the glass is cracked it could break and impact your ability to drive safely. What most people don’t realize is that the windshield is part of the structural framework of the vehicle. A cracked windshield has a greater chance of shattering or causing an accident.

goossens suggests taking the following steps if you notice a stone chip in your windshield:• Contact a reputable and

licensed supplier for glass repair. Many have mobile services and they will come to you.

• Talk to your insurance company and find out if the repair is covered.

• Be aware of insurance fraud scams. Never give your insurance information to anything less than a reputable repair shop with a long standing presence. Temporary repair stations should be avoided.

By being proactive you’ll save money, keep the inconvenience to a minimum and stay safe.

More information is available from an insurance broker or online at AvivaCanada.com.

AnnuAL brAke sAfety week issepteMber 6-12

during the week of Sept. 6-12, 2015, law enforcement agencies across North America will conduct brake system inspections on large trucks and buses to identify out-of-adjustment brakes and brake-system violations as part of the

Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Brake Safety Week.Outreach and educational efforts by commercial motor

vehicle (CMV) inspectors, participating motor carriers and others in the industry also take place during Brake Safety Week and are integral to the success of the campaign.

Properly functioning brake systems are crucial to safe CMV operation. CMV brakes are designed to hold up under tough conditions, but they must be routinely inspected and maintained carefully and consistently so they operate and perform properly throughout the vehicle’s life. Brake Safety Week is an annual outreach and enforcement campaign designed to improve commercial vehicle brake safety throughout North America.

Brake inspections conducted during Brake Safety Week include inspection of brake-system components to identify loose or missing parts, air or hydraulic fluid leaks, worn linings, pads, drums or rotors, and other faulty brake-system components. Antilock braking system (ABS) malfunction indicator lamps also are checked. Inspectors will inspect brake components and measure pushrod stroke where applicable. Defective or out-of-adjustment brakes will result in the vehicle being placed out of service

Additional inspections may include some Level I Inspections and, in the 10 jurisdictions currently using performance-based brake testing (PBBT) equipment, overall vehicle braking efficiency will be measured. These systems include a slow speed roller dynamometer that measures total vehicle weight and total brake force from which braking efficiency is determined. The minimum braking efficiency for trucks is 43.5 percent, required by U.S. federal regulation and the CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria.

what are you doing to keep yourself educated? When I ask many people that question the answer is usually whenever the carrier decides to teach us a course or

hold a safety meeting. For most carriers that probably means that you aren’t learning anything more than once per year. Many carriers find it hard to bring their employees in more than once a year for a safety meeting due to issues of customer deliveries and the challenges of running a trucking company. Many have gone to video training or some other form of self-directed training, but how much of that truly gets completed? Often the meeting is just reviewing items such as log books and defensive driving which is important, but not really teaching you anything new. The real trick to keeping yourself educated is to learn about you and adapt those skills to your career. If you only try to improve yourself through the company training program you will only learn so much. Now I am not knocking the company training but you will only learn the “how” of a topic and not necessarily the “why” of a topic. Oh sure they will tell you how important it is to drive defensively but that doesn’t mean you will. You may learn to fill out your log book properly but that won’t help you become more efficient.

The reason for this is that the “why” comes from within us and that is usually not taught in the company training program. When you work on yourself then you will become a person who can now take the techniques taught on “how” to do something and apply them with your knowledge of why you should do something. Let’s take defensive driving. No matter how many times I tell you to drive safely if you don’t believe in driving safely you won’t. If I show you

why you should drive safely because you could hurt others, hurt yourself, get sued, end your career, may never get home to your family, then you have a reason to drive safely if those things are important to you.

If you listen to many seminars the way I have you will start to see a common theme in keeping yourself educated. Many are talking about keeping up with industry news which I agree with as well, but should you stop there. The true answer is no and the reason for that is that our industry doesn’t stop there. There are so many elements to our industry that your education has to come from places both inside and outside of this industry. So where do you start?

First start with you! Improve yourself all the time and strive to be that professional driver that you are or should be. Listen to tapes, videos, take classes and improve yourself so that you can improve your career through knowledge. Learn skills like good trip planning, organization, time management that will help increase your efficiency therefore making you more money throughout your career. Learn how to deal with people so that you can improve your customer service skills and how you deal with people. This will help you with your people skills and those skills will never go to waste. Languages are another area of improvement which can really pay off. If your English is not very strong work on improving in that area and you will find opportunities open up for you. If you already speak English well, then learning another language such as French or Spanish will also open many doors for you that will improve your career and life over time. If you are looking at places to learn those skills then books, tapes, videos, and podcasts are great places to start. A great podcast that can help in many of those areas and improve your career is The Lead Pedal Podcast.

BRuCe outRIdge is a transportation consultant and author of the books Driven to Drive and Running By The Mile. He is also the host and creator of The Lead Pedal Podcast offering career and business information for new and existing truck drivers.

HELP SAVE LIVES. MOVE OVER.

Police, fire and ambulance personnel are often required to do their work on the shoulders of busy highways. For safety reasons, the law requires all drivers to slow down and proceed with caution when passing an emergency vehicle parked on the side of the highway with its lights activated.

If the highway has more than one lane, the law also requires all drivers to move over leaving at least one lane between their vehicle and the parked emergency vehicle,if it can be done safely.

Obeying this law will save lives! Violating it can result in a $2,000 fine and three demerit points.

Les policiers, les pompiers et les ambulanciers doivent souvent faire leur travail sur les accotements d’autoroutes achalandées. Pour des raisons de sécurité, la loi exige que tous les conducteurs ralentissent et fassent preuve de prudence lorsqu’ils dépassent un véhicule d’urgence stationné sur le côté de la route avec ses gyrophares activés.

Sur une route à plusieurs voies, la loi exige aussi que tous les conducteurs se déplacent de façon à libérer au moins une voie entre leur véhicule et le véhicule d’urgence stationné, pourvu que cela puisse se faire en toute sécurité.

Respecter cette loi aidera à sauver des vies!L’enfreindre peut entraîner une amende de 2 000 $ et trois points d’inaptitude.

T he rash associated with poison ivy is due to an individual’s sensitivity to an oily resin called urushiol which is found on the leaves, roots and stems

of the poison ivy plant. Not everyone who comes in contact with

the plant will develop a rash. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 50 percent of people will experience a skin reaction to poison ivy. In most cases, the rash will develop between 12 to 48 hours after exposure to the plant and typically lasts a few weeks. The symptoms of the rash usually include redness, itching, swelling and eventually blisters on the skin. The severity of the rash depends on how much urushiol gets transferred to the skin.

Urushiol is a very sticky substance which easily attaches itself to skin, clothing, tools or pets. Thus you can also come in contact with urushiol by touching a contaminated object. Garden tools and shoes are two very common things that transfer urushiol to human skin. It is also possible to irritate your respiratory system by inhaling the smoke from burning poison ivy plants.

The good news is that a poison ivy rash is not contagious. It is a common misconception that the fluid in the blisters contains urushiol and therefore can spread the rash to other individuals. The reality is that you can not contact a poison ivy rash from another person unless you come in contact with the urushiol that is still on that person.

Obviously, individuals with outdoor occupations such as farmers, landscapers,

coLuMnhealth

foresters and construction workers are at higher risk for exposure to poison ivy.

In most case, medical treatment is not necessary for a poison ivy rash. However, it is important to seek medical attention if the rash persists more than three weeks or you suspect that the skin has become infected.

In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids to help with the skin inflammation.

In general, the most annoying symptom associated with poison ivy rash is the severe itching. Over the counter corticosteroid creams and calamine lotion may help to

relieve this. Oral antihistamines such as Benadryl may also relieve some of the symptoms of a poison ivy rash. Some people find that soaking in a cool bath containing oatmeal-based products helps to ease the skin irritation.

Although it is impossible to completely prevent contact with poison ivy, there are few prevention measures to keep in mind. Firstly, research and learn how to identify poison ivy plants. Also, when hiking or camping, try to stay on marked or clear paths. Try to prevent pets from running though wooded areas as they can very easily be contaminated themselves and in turn spread the urushiol to others. If you suspect that you have come in contact with poison ivy, gently wash your skin with soap within ten minutes of exposure. Oftentimes, this will significantly reduce the severity of the rash. However, after an hour or so, the urushiol will have penetrated the skin.

In addition, protecting your skin by wearing long pants and shoes will significantly reduce your risk. Be sure to thoroughly wash your clothing in a washing machine using detergent if you think you may have come in contact with poison ivy. It is important to note that urushiol can remain potent for a few years. Thus, it can still cause a skin reaction years after the initial contamination if not removed at that time.

As you can see, a poison ivy rash is not a serious medical condition. However, it can cause very uncomfortable symptoms. Keep in mind these simple tips and you will be well on you way to enjoying an itch-free summer.

Until next month, drive safely! rT

now Standard for freightliner 108Sd and 114Sd truck models

Freightliner Trucks has announced that the Allison 3000 Rugged Duty Series (RDS) automatic transmission is now standard on all Freightliner 108SD and 114SD truck models.

Allison transmissions feature a patented torque converter which efficiently multiplies engine torque and smoothly transfers it to the gearbox in a manner that virtually eliminates driveline shock. This results in better startability, faster acceleration, and better traction and wheel control.

“The Allison 3000 RDS is a smart solution that gives our severe duty trucks increased efficiency and improved productivity for their tough jobs,” said Mary Aufdemberg, director of product marketing for Freightliner Trucks. “Our partnership with Allison Transmission underscores our commitment to provide our customers the right

products and components to help lower the Real Cost of Ownership.”Added Lou Gilbert, director of North American marketing and global

brand development for Allison Transmission: “Freightliner and Allison have a long history of providing high-quality products that meet the needs of our shared customers. We are pleased Freightliner has chosen to feature Allison Automatics as standard equipment for the 108SD and 114SD.”

The 108SD and 114SD are part of Freightliner’s line of severe duty vehicles, which are designed for optimal performance and ease of upfit. The versatile trucks’ weight-optimized design and durable components make them ideal for demanding applications.” rT
