It is said that success has many parents. Chief among them

for the New York-based Innovative Products of America (IPA) is experi-ence. Company president Peter Vinci brought to the establishing of his busi-ness 41 years industry experience – twenty as technician and 20 years in

designing and manufactur-ing tools and equipment. That track record accounts for IPA®’s rapid growth. Established in 1996, it has become a major supplier of tools and equipment to distributors with sterling reputations worldwide. “We have been success-ful in earning the trust of our suppliers by our commitment to quality, ingenuity, and customer satisfaction. The last thing we want is an unhappy customer,” says company representative, Ian Vinci, who has helped transform IPA into an international symbol for quality tools and equipment. The com-pany invests extensively in research and develop-ment. Several full time technicians help design, manufacture, and test products, the results of which have contributed to IPA®’ reputation.

That distinction, already secured in the industry, is becoming more firm-

ly entrenched with the introduction of two new products that promise to increase efficiency and save on man hours and money. The Super Mobile Universal Trailer Tester, affectionately known as the SUPER MUTT, is IPA’s solution to time consum-ing and often inaccurate testing of trailer circuits and braking systems. The SUPER MUTT is an ad-vanced diagnostic tool which has already gained the support of major American fleets. Equipped with one Group 31 battery, and a remote control, it quickly tests and identifies all trailer lighting func-tions. Cross circuits, short circuits, and open circuits are the most common problems of trailer wiring systems that the Super MUTT identifies, and does so in a fraction of the time it would take for less ad-vanced technologies.

Innovative Products of America subscribes to the principal that ‘“the work starts when the guesswork s t o p s . ’ ” T h a t guiding axiom lies a t the crux of I P A ® ’ s p o p u -l a r i t y with fleet o w n e r s who have e m b r a c e d t h e S u p e r MUTT as a cost savings tool. “Fleets which have tested this have found that it saves a minimum of 20 to 25 m i n u t e s p e r healthy trailer inspection and countless hours on problem trailers,” says Ian Vinci.

The Super MUTT is ad-mired for many reasons, the main one being its compact size which ren-ders it easily transportable to off-road sites and equal-ly manoeuvrable around

docking yards. Its robust design encased with laser-cut metal is equipped with rubber tires, remote con-trol air brakes, full time emergency air supply, and advanced diagnostics that enable it to test all circuits simultaneously.

Standing alongside this suite of benefits is price. “The Super MUTT retails for about $2,000 U.S., about half the cost of our competitors’” versions,” Ian notes.

High-volume production gives IPA the advantage of purchasing the best qual-ity materials at the best price, savings which are passed onto distributors and end users. The Super MUTT’s capacity to iden-tify electrical and brake-system malfunctions in seconds, coupled with competitive pricing that far exceeds the competi-tion, has positioned this fast-growing enterprise for entry into the Canadian market. In January 2010, Super MUTT, having met

Canadian regulatory standards, will be

available from distributors in

Canada, an ad-vantage few in the service industry can afford to over-look in light of the rapid re-turn on invest-ment.

“Shop man-agers will not o n l y g a i n from the ef-

f iciencies of the Super

M U T T ; they will benef i t from an

average re-t u r n on investment in 26 days. In the first year the product will pay for itself 12 times over. That’s why many national fleets are already using this product,” Ian explains.

Joining the Super MUTT in IPA’s family of recent additions to the heavy-duty transportation in-

dustry is the Mobile Fuel Transfer System. In re-sponse to a request from a national fleet, IPA drew on its tradition of invention to design and manufacture a product capable of trans-ferring fuel rapidly. The result is the Mobile Fuel Transfer Unit. Welded on a steel frame and powered by two Group 31 batteries, the mobile unit can trans-fer fuel up to nine hours and pump fuel from tanks, drums, or storage contain-ers at a rate of 20 gallons per minute. Like the Super MUTT, the Mobile Fuel Transfer is noted for its mobility. Ideally suited for roadside accidents, it can be brought to a scene and wheeled to a tank to begin fuel extraction. Equipped with two six-foot hoses (extension hoses option-al), and a fuel dispensing nozzle, the Mobile Fuel Transfer System also has a resettable flow meter with a lifetime tally. An in-line filter and water separator eliminate condensation problems.

Ian Vinci credits the transfer system unit for its multiple uses. “The Mobile Fuel Transfer is not only used for emptying tanks at roadside accidents. It can easily and quickly empty tanks that need repair, can transfer fuel from one container to another, or benefit scrap yard dealers who remove fuel from tanks before the disposing of vehicles.”

Securing fuel, storing fuel, or removing fuel, the Mobile Transfer Unit has earned the appreciation of fleet owners and other service providers involved with the transfer of fuel quantities.

IPA®’s family of products includes trailer remedies, grease joint rejuvenators, hand tools, diagnostic tools such as the Super MUTT and Mobile Fuel Transfer, as well as spe-cialty tools. Common among this diversity is the commitment to qual-ity. IPA products are avail-able through a network of

international distributors equally insistent on prod-uct quality.

“Our products have to meet rigorous quality as-sessment procedures,” says Ian Vinci. “We sell worldwide to professional tool distributors who insist on quality standards that are second to none.”

Solid warranties, qual-

ity products, competitive prices, and originally-de-signed tools together form a set of business principles that will continue to earn the company the admira-tion of distributors and consumers around the world.

Kemptville Truck Centre Limited is a full service Inter-

national Canada Dealer with six locations across Eastern Ontario to serve all of the trucking industry. We are the largest Inter-national dealer in Canada and our customers range from the owner operator with one truck to some of the largest fleets in the country. We believe we in conjunction with Inter-national have the best solution to meet the 2010 Emission requirements – the Maxxforce engine. No matter what your require-ment we have the engine to suit you, from the 7-litre engine to the Big Bore 11 and 13 litre engines. (We also have planned to have a 15 litre engine available in 2010. With the addi-tion of the MaxxForce 15, the Navistar heavy-duty engine family will range from 11 to 15 liters with power ratings from 300

to 550 hp.)To help our customers

understand what is hap-pening in 2010 the Kempt-ville group has held num-erous seminars in the last year to various groups and associations and we plan on continuing this in 2010. Along with International we have also sponsored several webinars on the subject – many of which discuss not only our solu-tion but also that of our competitors – We want you to make a decision based on all the facts. Our sales and support staff have received extensive training in the changes so that they may answer any of your questions. Don’t hesitate to ask them about any questions or concerns you may have concerning 2010.

Another source of infor-mation concerning 2010 Emissions is our web site, www.ktctruck.ca. Here you will find links to num-

erous sites to help you understand all the facts including first hand testi-monials from customers why MaxxForce engines were the right choice for their fleets.

At the Kemptville group we understand that you have a big decision to make in 2010 and beyond. There’s no question that the 2010 emissions stan-dards will be beneficial for the world. When you know the facts about the best way to achieve com-pliance there’s simply no debate. Whether you focus on lower operating costs, less hassle for you or your employees or impact on vehicle resale, the answer is clearly Maxxforce Ad-vanced EGR.

Why did International choose Advanced EGR?

We created a solution based on the belief that

compliance should com-pletely be the OEM’s re-sponsibility and not the customer’s.

EGR Technology reduces operational expenses and provides a no hassles with added equipment and urea. You can ex-pect long-Term viability. Our European counter-parts are turning to EGR after years of experience with SCR, citing simplicity for its customers. SCR’s added equipment raises questions about the re-sale value with evidence that Advanced EGR could become the solution of choice in the future.

THE GrEEn FaCTOr

Both Advanced EGR and SCR comply with emis-sions standards, but the carbon footprint should be considered as well. Consider the energy re-quired for the production, distribution, infrastructure and manufacturing for a solution that requires an

additional fluid (urea). We’ve been rewarded by the EPA for achieving lower emissions before they were required, which resulted in credits to apply toward developing a 2010-compliant, superior technology for reducing emissions. So not only have we had lower emis-sions for years, but we’ve also been able to use them for your advantage.

EGR is compliant from the moment you turn the key. Compare this to SCR, where there are gaps in NOX control: when the urea tank is frozen, empty, filled with the wrong fluid or tampered with.

HOW aDVanCED EGr

WOrKS

MaxxForce Advanced EGR exclusively delivers by handling it all inside the engine. The same technology is used indus-try-wide today to reduce emissions, and we’ve pro-duced over 200,000 EGR

engines that have been proven over 9 million miles. It works by re-circulating cooled diesel exhaust back into the en-gine, reducing emissions before they come back out. This is made possible through our exclusive technology of Advanced Fuel Injection Technology to break

fuel into a finer mist that burns more completely. The Proprietary Combus-tion Bowl Design leads to more complete combus-tion. The Advanced Air Management featuring dual turbochargers and an increased EGR rate reduces Nox generation through slower, cooler combustion.

Once again we know it seems like there are a lot of changes coming in 2010. That’s why we at International and the Kemptville Group will be with you every step of the way.V

KTC Ltd & the 2010 Emissions Solution

Our State Of The art Facilty In Kingston Opened It’s Doors In September, 2005

January 2010 7

By MarEK KraSuSKI

First there were ex-haust gas recircula-tion reductions in

2002. Then there were limits on diesel particulate emissions in 2007, and now in 2010, the truck-ing industry has survived the most influential factor affecting the commercial vehicle market by meet-ing dramatic reductions of nitrous oxides (NOx) set by the Environmental Protec-tion Agency (EPA). Most manufacturers have risen to the monumental chal-lenge of compliance, the standards of which called for a 99 per cent decrease

in the generation both of soot – diesel particulate – and NOx.

In a proclamation of cor-porate confidence, Volvo claims that “in 2007 we cleaned the air .... in 2010 we’re going to polish it.” That statement is sup-ported by a reputation as the first truck manufactur-er to have its heavy-duty diesel engines certified for 2010 by the Environ-mental Protection Agency and the California Air Re-sources Board, the state environmental protection agency with a reputation for strong regulatory poli-cies.

Volvo, like most of its competitors, adopted the Selective Catalytic Re-duction (SCR) method in response to the 2010 regulations. The 2010 EPA standards require a reduction of nitrous ox-ides from 1.5 grams per

brake horse power to 0.2 grams per brake horse power, while maintaining a particulate output of 0.1 grams per brake horse power. SCR has already been a proven technology in Europe which accounts for its popularity in North America. The SCR process makes the engine perform at optimal temperature and provides better power, fuel efficiency and lower particulate matter (PM) generation, which accord-ing to Volvo is the pre-ferred choice for meeting emission reductions.

“Volvo Truck’s emissions technology for EPA2010 does more than cut emis-sions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate mat-ter to near-zero levels. Using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce NOx, Volvo improved fuel economy and reduced emissions of the green-

house gas C02,” says Media Relations Manager, Jim McNamara, adding that the adoption of this technology helps elimin-ate global warming and reduces dependence on imported petroleum.

PACCAR, which sells Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF, has joined the ma-jority in favour of the SCR technology and has been acknowledged for superior aerodynamic product de-signs. Confidence in tech-nology choice stems from previous experience. Over 100,000 PACCAR engines equipped with SCR have already been in service worldwide. Cummins, sim-ilarly, has seen fit to adopt the Selective Catalytic Re-duction chamber, claiming a five percent savings on fuel consumption over its 2007 products.

Bucking the trend to adopt SCR is the lone dis-senter, Navistar, which has chosen to embrace the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology in order to comply with the new emissions standards. The company claims that the EGR solution is free from add-on after treatment equipment, higher operat-ing costs and new main-tenance and servicing re-quirements for technicians associated with the SCR technology. The advanced combustion methods, such as low temperature com-bustion, are believed to result in less fuel efficiency compared to the com-peting SCR engines. But according to the Navistar website, “EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is an emissions reduction tech-nique used in most gaso-line and diesel engines. EGR works by re-circu-lating a portion of an en-gine’s exhaust back to the engine cylinders and burn-ing off excess pollutants.” The result is a slower and cooler combustion process which reduces rates of NOx generation. Navistar,

moreover, sees the SCR solution as a temporary approach that places the burden of emissions com-pliance on the customer and not the manufacturer. Drivers must ensure that vehicles always main-tain an adequate level of urea in order to keep engines running without interruptions. According to the company, leading manufacturers in Europe that have incorporated SCR solutions are pre-dicting that advanced EGR will provide the emissions solutions for the future. There are also fears that the cost of SCR-urea will outpace the price of diesel once demand for the fuel spikes.

Despite the inconven-ience, customer cost, and operational complexity, which the EGR camp says are associated with SCR, Navistar’s competitors are opting for the SCR solution. The service and mainten-ance of SCR-equipped trucks calls for diesel ex-haust fluid (DEF) to be injected into the exhaust stream where it reacts with NOx to produce nitrogen gas and water vapour, both of which are harm-lessly released into the atmosphere. Moreover, SCR trucks need frequent cleaning of diesel particu-late filters and will feature turbochargers, catalysts, storage and dispensing systems, all of which re-quire additional service and maintenance.

The after-treatment infrastructure needed to service SCR technology opens up lucrative oppor-tunities. A comprehensive urea infrastructure will provide revenue streams for suppliers, distributors and retailers of diesel ex-haust fluid, according to a study by research analyst, David Zhao of Frost & Sul-livan Automotive Practice. The study goes on to say that trucks will require frequent cleaning of the

diesel particulate filters as well as the servicing and maintenance of many other filters and sensors. Most of these new devices will not span the lifetime of the tucks which means after-market opportunities will grow for manufactur-ers and suppliers of these essential add-ons.

According to Mr. Zhao, there is a lot of money to be made, at least in the first few years before the aftermarket indus-try matures. “Commer-cial vehicle aftermarket revenues, resulting from various aspects of servi-cing and maintaining EPA 2010 compliant trucks, will be approximately $1,252 million in 2015, from USD 2.64 million in late 2009.”

Rising above the row over competing technolo-gies and market opportun-ities are the benefits we are told will result from the wholesale reduction of diesel particulates and ni-trous oxides. These meas-ures will reduce particulate matter – soot – by 110,000 tons per year, along with the reduction of 2.6 mil-lion tons of smog-causing nitrogen oxide emissions from the atmosphere. Over 20,000 children will be saved from the onset of acute bronchitis each year, and an estimated 8,300 premature deaths will be prevented. Projections also reveal a precipitous reduction in asthma and respiratory problems as well as lost work days and fewer hospital visits owing to these anti-pollution measures.

Great strides in freeing the planet from toxins that threaten our very survival have to be made in or-der to limit global warm-ing. Emissions controls adopted for the trucking industry may seem minis-cule in comparison to the breadth of the problem, but as with everything, progress begins with the first step.V

Trucking Industry Drives Into New Eraof Emissions Controls

The following infor-mation was sup-plied by Freight-

liner, Belleville as a means to educate the industry on SCR Technology vs. EGR Technology.

Selective Catalytic Re-duction (SCR) is a simple, cost-effective NOx reduc-tion technology that deliv-ers reduced maintenance, increased fuel economy and requires fewer re-generations. The SCR pro-cess represents proven, road-tested technology with significant advan-tages for the environment and your business.

MEETInG THE

CHaLLEnGE OF EPa 2010

EPA 2010 is the deadline for the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to assure that medium-duty and heavy-duty

trucks run clean by the year 2010. In fact EPA 2010 standards require that NOx levels from new trucks be reduced to al-most zero.

Faced with strict and well-defined engine regu-lations, most of the truck-ing industry has worked hard to meet these im-portant environmental mandates, while main-taining maximum fuel efficiency and engine per-formance.

Today there are two technologies the trucking industry is considering to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards. In-Cylinder Exhaust Gas Recircula-tion (EGR) AND SCR. But which is the best technol-ogy for the environment and your business? Let’s explore the pros and cons

of both processes.First of all, what is NOx?

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) is an exhaust element that contributes to acid rain, smog and green-house gas levels. This environmental pollutant is a by-product of the high-temperature diesel combustion process. The hotter the combustion temperature, the more NOx is created.

The SCR process uses a catalytic reaction to convert diesel NOx emis-sions into benign nitro-gen gas and water which are present in the air we breathe. In-Cylinder EGR lowers N0x production by recycling higher levels of exhaust back through the engine to reduce the com-bustion temperature.HOW DOES SCr WOrK?

SCR is an exhaust after treatment that controls emissions downstream from the engine. SCR takes place after the combustion process, and utilizes diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx levels.

With SCR, DEF is in-jected into the exhaust stream which reacts with the NOx in the SCR cata-lyst, forming harmless nitrogen and water.

SCR allows the engine to function at higher and more optional combus-tion temperatures, pro-viding increased fuel ef-ficiency and power.

To achieve the extreme-ly low NOx levels required by EPA 2010, most major engine manufacturers use an SCR process that also employs minimized EGR.

This proven method of combining EGR and SCR technologies applies the best of both technolo-gies to efficiently reduce harmful emissions and provide better engine per-formance.HOW DOES In-CyLInDEr

EGr WOrK?

With In-Cylinder EGR, exhaust gas is cooled and recycled back through the engine. This reduces the amount of oxygen available for combustion, which in turn reduces the combustion temperature in the cylinder. A cooler combustion lowers NOx production. However, the lower temperature diesel combustion is less ef-ficient, so it creates more particulate matter and burns more fuel.PrOS & COnS OF EaCH

TECHnOLOGy

The advantages of SCR technology are that it offers more optimized combustion with mini-mized EGR, better fuel efficiency, less wear on the engine, reduced main-tenance requiring fewer regenerations, and it is highly reliable. The down side of this technology is that it adds weight, DEF is an additional cost and minor changes in chassis packaging are required.

The advantages of In-Cylinder EGR Technology are that it does not re-quire DEF or other addi-tional fluids, there is no additional driver action required. The negative side of this technology is that it adds weight, it has cooler and therefore less optimized combustion, requires greater cooling capacity, it has decreased fuel efficiency, engine power and engine life. Also the lower combus-tion efficiency creates more particulate matter.

It is important to under-stand both technologies before making a decision on which is the best for your fleet. The staff at Freightliner, Belleville invite you to contact them at (866) 717-0677 or send them an email at info@jaintc.ca.V

Montréal, QC, De-cember 8, 2009 – C o c a - C o l a

Bottling Company is ex-panding its fleet of hybrid-electric delivery trucks across Canada as part of its ongoing commitment to Corporate Responsibil-ity & Sustainability (CRS). The company is adding 15 hybrid single-axle tractors to its existing hybrid fleet of 20 side-bay trucks and 2 straight trucks in Canada. Of these 15, five have been deployed in Montreal.

The l a rges t hybr id

vehicles in North Amer-ica, these trucks use about 30 percent less fuel and produce about 30 per-cent fewer emissions than standard tractors. These first-of-their-kind vehicles are servicing markets in Vancouver, London, To-ronto, Ottawa and Mont-real.

Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) has deployed a total of 327 hybrid deliv-ery vehicles across North America. These vehicles were manufactured in Sainte-Therese, QC. The

investment in hybrid tech-nology is a critical com-ponent of CCE’s commit-ment to reduce its overall carbon footprint by 15 percent by the year 2020.

“We are proud to expand Canada’s largest fleet of heavy-duty hybrid diesel-electric delivery vehicles,” said Alain Robichaud, Vice President, Supply Chain Customer Service. “This is one of several ways we are investing to reduce energy consumption across our business.”

The technology in these

hybrid vehicles will also support Coca-Cola’s sus-tainability efforts around the Olympic Torch Relay.

Coca-Co la Bot t l ing Company is a wholly-owned operating division of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., operates in all 10 provinces and employs 5,500 people across Can-ada and 900 in Quebec. The company produces, sells and/or distributes a full range of sparkling and still beverages, includ-ing, Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, diet Coke, caffeine

free diet Coca-Cola, Sprite, diet Sprite Zero, Five Alive, Fruitopia, Fresca, Barq’s root beer, Cplus beverages, Fanta, Nestea ice teas, Ari-Zona iced teas, Orangina, Powerade sports drinks,

Commitment to Environment with Hybrid- Electric Fleet

By LIna DEMEDEIrOS

In 2009 we took some aggressive steps with pol i t ic ians, safety

groups, insurance com-panies and associations to provide you with tools to help increase your profitability and under-stand the value of your insurance contracts.

My goal to is to help companies understand the importance of as-sisting each and every O w n e r O p e r a t o r t o understand his poten-tial financial losses in the event of an acci-dent, sickness, death or critical illness related expenses. Our goal is to ensure that you as an independent Owner Operator maintain your freedom of choice. You can choose the level of coverage you need as well as understand what is available to you in the marketplace under one roof.

The larger the carrier, the more resistant they are to helping you make choices that serve your needs. This is a passive aggressive management style or if you will a dic-tatorship. The mandate is clear. They want WSIB Clearance certificates with the option of group insurance or association plans which is contrary to your actual require-ments as “small busi-ness owners”.

This disciplinary meas-ure is intended primar-ily to protect a partner-ship with The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and Canada Rev-enue Agency. We are pleased to say that this did not impact our cus-tomers in any way. The frustration of some cli-

ents quickly subsided as we educated these companies that they are unable to allow you to cancel a contract for in-surance whereby proper risk management has been exercised and a pre-existing condition existed. In the absence of an Owner Operator taking the time to assess what his or her needs are would be fine if their minimum contractual requirements would be satisfied. They would also have to consider the many years of investing in the insurance plan and compliance with WSIB, Revenue Can-ada and the Employ-ment Standards Act .

Asking you to cancel it would result in litigation against the transport company. In the event you became sick and had a claim you would not be covered.

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board is part of employment law. This applies to employ-ees of a company and not independent Owner Operators.

The value of a good safety and compliance manager or department is because of the time that is taken to ensure that you would protect your interests from ill-ness, critical illness and the expenses associat-ed with these illnesses.

Helping them conserve the value of a transport company is much of the time, unappreciated.

How’s business? Most of us have seen cut backs in

the last few months but today I have some good news for you. A fuel smart strategy will actually make you money. And it’s not hard to do. Extra cash is sitting right there on your company’s spreadsheet masquerading as an ex-pense or hidden inside other costs.

When fuel prices were high, everyone wanted to know how to cut them. Now while fuel prices are lower (a tempor-ary thing, I assure you), fuel is st i l l t h e h i g h e s t operating cost for businesses in construction, earth-moving, transport and logistics right after labour. Up to 20% of your fuel costs are buried in labour, administration and over-head. And there’s even more in waste, inefficiency, lost productivity and mis-appropriation. So, how do you reduce some of these hidden expenses?

Unlike other variable costs, your cost of re-fuelling is relatively easy to manage. There are a number of things you can do today which will elim-inate unnecessary waste, and tomorrow, when fuel prices start to creep up again, those savings will be even bigger.

You don’t have to be a mathematician to under-stand how this can put more operating cash into your company. By em-ploying even a couple of these strategies you can measurably – and permanently – reduce your refuelling expenses. It’s a

lot of money and when fuel prices go up, it’s even more.

To start make a reso-lution to be more “fuel responsible” in the New Year. You have heard this before: fuel is a non-re-newable resource, so plan to be more responsible. Make this a company-wide initiative. Decide who will become your company’s Fuel Manager then empower them to work with you to cut your fuel consumption. Here are a few tips.

How are you getting the fuel you need today? Does it make sense for you to send your fleet to card-locks and pay the over-time, maintenance and administration? Do site tanks make sense or are there hidden expenses in that fuel related to in-

surance, environ-

ment

or theft? H a v e y o u

looked into having fuel delivered directly to your vehicles? Onsite cuts the cost of labour, reduce environmental risk, elim-inates theft and converts time waiting to fuel into time getting more work done – roughly 20 minutes per vehicle per day.

This one strategy alone can save you thousands of dollars each year.

Check with an onsite delivery company and have a fuel needs analysis done and compare it with your current method of refuelling. For the best ef-ficiency, refuelling is done when your equipment is idle, so productivity is not interrupted. Another benefit of having your fuel delivered to each truck or piece of equipment is time saved. On average each refuelling you do can take at least 20 minutes. You’ll save the fuel used traveling to and from the card lock too. Add this all up and each month you can save a lot of fuel

and hundreds of hours in labour costs. This saved time is instantly converted to productivity, rather than refuelling.

Another fuel smart initia-tive is to plan to measure and manage your fuel. Technology exists that can help you and it is not expensive. Here’s what I mean. You can record every drop of fuel con-sumed by each piece of equipment and have that data delivered via email. Now you can check your fuel consumption and make qualified operat-ing decisions. With this information in hand you can talk to your operators and show them where fuel is being wasted and make suggestions on how to work smarter. Data is captured showing total operating time, time spent idling, engine revving, speeding etc. This allows you to train your oper-ators and monitor their

performance against realistic operat-

ing thresholds you set. When you have ac- curate informa-tion you become a better manager.

Your equipment will last longer too. When your operators are reminded regularly about your new fuel smart initiatives and adjust their habits less fuel will be consumed. With that, operating time is cut. The result is you will add months to the life of your equipment and cut maintenance costs along the way. And that delays making major capital ex-penses.

Now lets think about the environment. It is foolish to waste fuel because it is a non-renewable resource. Besides that the more fuel you use the more pollut-ants you spew into the environment. A new fuel strategy can easily save you 10% to 20% in fuel costs and a corresponding amount of toxic emissions will also be cut. With a new fuel management strategy you will become part of a worldwide move-

ment to help cut pollution. As the champion of good fuel management in your industry you can take on a leadership role. Tell your customers what you are doing. It will attract atten-tion and its good for busi-ness too.

This year has given us fuel pricing on a roller coaster. As much as we enjoy low prices now, we

also know that they will go up. No one can pre-dict if they will reach the extremes we saw a few months ago, but you can save cash with a better fuel smart strategy. Look at it another way. With a slower economy you are not as busy. Why not invest this time and make some fuel smart changes that can pay you divi-

dends for years to come? It makes sense.

Get Fuel-Smart Now, Even While Prices are Low!

In today’s economy if a Canadian got it, a truck likely brought it,

but what we don’t realize are the costs associated with bringing us those much needed goods. What we need to have though are common goals that make it more affordable to continue to meet the higher demands of today.

Sometimes spend-ing now can have serious saving con-sequences down the road quite similar to sav-ing for your retirement as y o u w o u l d an RRSP. Why not invest in an anti-idling device for your truck in a similar investment plan? No more need-less idling and wasting pre-cious fuel means

more money in your pock-et as well as keeping up with the latest environ-mental regulations.

Federal and provincial regulations are sweeping North America. Diesel fuel prices continue to increase, therefore the need to reduce idling is more important than ever. Maintenance costs keep

increasing.

Driving a truck isn’t just a lifestyle, it’s a rolling business. Whether you have one truck or a large fleet, the most important components to keeping your business healthy are minimizing fuel costs, maintenance costs, and avoiding fines.

Webasto and Indel B, both provide the per-fect solution in helping

to achieve your

truck’s fuel sav-ings goal in that they will both save

you the much needed money you need in today’s harsh economy.

D i d y o u k n o w t h e average re-turn on your i n v e s t m e n t for a Webasto

bunk heater is less than three

months?Our most popular

TSL17 uses as little as one gallon of fuel in a 20 hour period and provides im-

mediate heat making cold nights more comfortable for drivers while saving

fuel from engine-off operations.

Indel-B, Sleep-ing Well - is

the f i rs t true aux-iliary 12v air condi-tioning no-idle system that exchanges the hottest air in the upper sleeper to cold air, effect-ively cooling the sleeper. Advances in compact/light weight 12Vdc air conditioning systems like Indel B has made battery powered solutions a very cost effective and efficient

alternative to APU’s.When you combine an

Indel B with a Webasto bunk heater you’d have a year round anti-idling cost effect- ive program

w i t h the saving

going directly into your pocket.

All Webasto and Indel B products qualify for the Ontario rebate program! For more information call Gary at (705) 653-2403 or visit his website at www.wilsoninstrumentsltd.com.

Meeting the challenges of large capacity and car-carrier trucks, Continental Tire North America, Inc. (“Continental”) today an-nounces the addition of new drive and steer tires in ultra low profile sizes to its line-up.

Continental will begin sales of its new HSL2® Eco Plus (Heavy Steer Long-Haul) and HDL2® Eco Plus (Heavy Drive Long-Haul) truck tire siz-es in the 295/60R22.5 size this month. These truck tires are a full three inches shorter than the 275/80R22.5 sizes, but each has 1,215 more lbs. of additional carrying cap-acity in a single fitment for load range G.

The versatile HSL2® Eco Plus and HDL2® Eco Plus truck tires allow drivers

of large capacity and car carrier trucks to handle highway travel safely, while reducing their over-all operating costs. The HDL2® Eco Plus features a tread des ign wi th a n a r r o w -shaped dir-e c t i o n a l p a t t e r n , w h i c h minimiz-es typical drive tire wear ef-f e c t s seen in this ap-p l i c a -tion and r e s u l t s in long-e r wear . Numerous tread blocks with several gripping edges provide excellent

traction and durability throughout the entire tread life.

The HSL2® Eco Plus tire features a specialized

t read d e -

sign with wide shoulder ribs and narrow tread grooves, engineered for low noise and optimal weight distribution across the tire’s foot-

print. Both the HSL2® Eco Plus and HDL2® Eco Plus use tread compounds optimized for low rolling resistance, which pro-

vides fuel sav-ings. Yet both

tires provide long origin-al mileage and excel-lent wear c h a r a c -teristics.

“ C o n -tinental is meet-i n g t h e i n -creased demand for truck tires that can han-dle higher load cap-

a c i t i e s , whi le a lso

s a t i s f y i n g drivers’ needs

for both long mileage and fuel savings. The HSL2® Eco Plus and HDL2® Eco Plus tires of-fer large capacity and car-carrier trucks the abil-ity to carry more weight without sacrificing the vehicle’s height,” said Cliff Armstrong, Continental’s director of marketing for commercial vehicle tires in The Americas.

“The HSL2® Eco Plus and HDL2® Eco Plus will also reduce the costs to operate these types of vehicles, with lowered rolling resistance and long tire life. Add it all together, and these tires are the solution that meets all of the needs of this specialized segment,” Armstrong said.

Il est possible qu’il y ait des différences entre les coûts estimés des

vols de cargaison mais même les évaluations les plus conservatrices sont troublantes. Selon beaucoup de sources dans l’industrie de transport, le vol de cargaison coûte $10 milliards aux États Unis par an. Les chiffres mondiaux sont estimés entre $15 et $30 milliard. Même ces chiffres- là sont considerés modestes chez certaines personnes. Il est possible que le vrai chiffre soit beaucoup plus élevé puisque les com-pagnies sont dissuadées de présenter ou de publier leurs pertes pour peur de nuire à leur propre réputation et de crainte de faire remonter leurs primes d’assurance. Le vol de cargaison au Canada s’élèvent à $1 milliard par an et on estime que pour chaque incidence rappor-tée, il y en a quatre autres qu’on ne signale jamais ni à la police ni aux com-pagnies d’assurance. Mais la vraie explicaton de cette situation est beaucoup plus sérieuse et beaucoup plus nuisible à la réputa-tion d’une flotte. Autant que 80% du vol de cargai-son est probablement le résultat d’un coup monté de l’intérieur.

Les courtiers et les transporteurs doivent vérifier l’historique des conducteurs parce qu’il y a souvent un élément d’information d’intérieur qui joue un rôle dans le vol de cargaison » a déclaré

Constable Steve Arney, Chef d’Investigation du vol de cargaison chez la police régionale de Peel. Des conseillers de l’industrie encouragent les propriétaires de flotte et les opérateurs à prendre des précautions dans la vérification de l’historique des conducteurs. Chaque compagnie devrait avoir une politique qui exige la vérification de l’historique non seulement des con-ducteurs mais de tous les employés. On devrait imposer des directives à tous les employés en leur défendant de discuter la destination et la nature des cargaisons avec qui que ce soit. En même temps, ils devraient éviter d’accepter des documents délicats concernant des informations pertinentes sur les cargaisons poten-tiellement accessibles à une tierce personne. On encourage les compagnies de tenir leurs employés résponsables pour le con-trôle de documents per-tinents.

Le vol de cargaison qui monte à $1 milliard au Canada rend notre pays un terrain fertile pour les voleurs. Mississauga est classé actuellement une des trois premières régions pour le vol de cargaison en Amérique du Nord, à coté du Texas et de la Floride. Une partie de la faute, dis-ent les critiques, reste avec l’industrie de transport elle-même parce que ses mesures de sécurité ne sont pas à la hauteur du niveau de la menace.

L’ A s s o c i a t i o n d e Camionnage de l’Ontario

et d’autres compagnies aussi offrent des conseils de prévention. Les com-pagnies, disent-ils, devrai-ent établir une politique qui restreint l’accès des inconnus aux terminaux et aux chantiers. On dev-rait également autoriser les employés à interroger tous les inconnus qui se trouvent sur la propriété, et on devrait mettre en place des procédures qui permettraient l’inspection automatique des véhicules qui n’appartiennt pas à la compagnie, tels les véhicules de location ou de liaison. Constable Ar-ney suggère que la plu-part des chantiers dans la région de Brampton ont une sécurité insuffisante, ce qui donne l’opportunité aux voleurs de se servir librement. Puisque la plu-part des vols de cargaison ont lieu sur la propriété elle-même, des perimètres bien sécurises munis de systêmes de surveillance efficaces ont un effet dis-suasif. Un bon systême d’illumination qui ne laisse pas de place aux ombres et le garage des remorques à coté des baies de charge-ment ou dos-à-dos aident à minimiser les risques.

D’autres conditions de haut risque sont liées aux activités de charge et de décharge, selon le Austral-ian Institute of Criminol-ogy. On peut facilement distraire l’attention du conducteur pendant que les voleurs cachent les denrées pour les récupérer plus tard.

Ce n’est pas seulement dans le chantier pourtant qu’il existe des risques au cargaison et à la sécurité du conducteur.

Il y a quelques années, Donny Woods, en route à Toronto avec un cargaison de poulets, s’est arreté à une épicerie à Brockville pour un rendez-vous avec sa femme. Après le rendez-vous, il est remonté dans son véhicule et a continué son voyage. Sa femme ne l’a jamais vu depuis.

Quelques jours plus tard son corps gisait dans la cabine de son camion à Pickering. Selon la police, il avait été victime d’un dé-tournement et tué pour les denrées qu’il transportait. La valeur? Quarante mille dollars en poulets.

De tels incidents sont toujours assez rares au Canada, mais le vol de cargaison devient de plus en plus violent avec la hausse en activités. Un as-sortiment divers de gangs ethniques en est la cause, qui donne preuve d’un désir insatiable de voler n’importe quoi. Autrefois les objets visés étaient l’alcool, les cigarettes et les électroniques. Ce n’est plus le cas aujourd’hui. Les couches de bébé, les étagères en acier, les meubles et méme les articles d’alimentation sont volés et vendus aux marchés aux puces et les soi-disants « marchés gris » ou les gens prefèrent trouver une aubaine au lieu de s’intérroger sur la légitimité de la proven-ance d’un produit. Même les objets les moins chers peuvent entrainer un ren-dement lourd. Dans un exemple, le vol d’un re-morque de gomme volé à l’est de Toronto a valu plusieurs cents mille dol-lars.

L’ o b s t i n a t i o n d a n s l’activité criminelle en ce qui concerne le cargaison est due aussi aux peines re lat ivement légères même quand les contrev-enants son pris. Selon les rapports, le délit moyen dans le vol de cargaison

aux États Unis n’est que rarement puni. Le coup-able est rarement pris ni même identifié, n’est pas toujours poursuivi, et les peines sont souvent con-ditionnelles.

En même temps, les com-pagnies sont réticentes de conduire leurs propres enquêtes sur les activités illégales de leurs employés à cause des coûts très élevés du lancement d’une enquète. Ce coût peut facilement dépasser la valeur de la marchandise volée.

Étant donné que les res-sources de la police sont actuellement utilisées au maximum, les agences chargées de faire respect-er la loi commencent à chercher un sens de re-sponsabilité plus évolué chez les compagnies. « C’est à l’industrie de transport de faire preuve d’initiative pour résoudre ces problèmes et d’être proactif en ce qui con-cerne leur sécurité.

Certaines organisa-tions ont déjà pris ces initiatives. Dans l’Ontario, l’Association de Camion-nage de l’Ontario a fait équipe avec plusieurs compagnies de transport, des expéditeurs, des com-pagnies d’assurance et des courtiers et avec la police pour établir une force unie. Cette collaboration permet aux compagnies d’accéder à des informations sur les vols en-ligne ou elles sont capables de surveil-ler le type de cargaison, la position géographique et la valeur estimée des mar-chandises volées. Cette

coopération a déjà joué un rôle dans la récupéra-tion de marchandises de plusieurs vols.

Plus loin l’International Organization for Stan-dardization (ISO) et le National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), basé aux États Unis,sont en train de créer un système de coopération pour com-battre le crime de vol de cargaison. Ce nouveau base de données, appelé CargoNetTM va inclure la « formation et le soutien pour le respect de la loi, aussi bien que les servi-ces et analyses pour la prevention du vol ». Selon le website de la com-pagnie, Vincent Cialdella, vice-président de ISO, déclare, « L’historique de ISO dans la construction et la gestion de systèmes sophistiqués et sécures pour partager les don-nées délicates de perte et de vol convient parfaite-ment au développement de CargoNetTM. » Le base de données sera lancé au début de 2010.

Il est fort possible qu’il n’y ait aucune mesure aussi efficace pour élim-iner entièrement le vol de cargaison. La cupidité est une force motivante pour les criminels de rester au courant des avances dans la réduction du crime. Mais une combinaison de tactiques, d’équipement de surveillance, de la con-science des faits et de la coopération avec les autres peut réduire consi-dérablement, sinon élim-iner, l’incidence du vol de cargaison.V

Toronto, Decem-ber 15 , 2009 – The event held

on December 12th at Avaal’s facility in Bramp-ton was at tended by over 700 customers and well wishers through-out the day. Minister of Government Servi-ces, Harinder Takhar, as well as Member of Par-liament for Brampton

Springdale Ruby Dhalla separate ly presented Avaal’s CEO Dara Nagra with a commendation for his contribution to the community. Other prominent luminaries such as Brampton Coun-cillor Mr. Vicky Dhillon and Conservative Party nominated candidate for Bramalea-Gore-Mal-ton, Mr. Parvinder Singh

also addressed the audi-ence and acknowledged the significant impact made by Avaal Tech-nology.

Registered since Janu-ary 2006 as a private ca-reer college by the On-tario Ministry of Train-ing, Colleges & Univer-sities; Avaal Technology, based in Brampton, ON has achieved several

important markers in its short history. The com-pany created a Dispatch Specialist course based on the Loadlink freight matching technology platform operated by TransCore Link Logis-t ics . Th is success fu l collaboration between Avaal and TransCore has enabled 500 stu-dents to achieve the ac-

creditation in the short span of four years. Avaal presented a commem-orative plaque to Tran-sCore’s Claudia Milice-vic in appreciation of this relationship.

Avaal announced that they have recently set up a Department of Trans-portation compliant 24 hour Drug Testing Cen-tre fitted with the latest

technology. This lab will enable Canadian trans-portation companies to send their employees to get pre-employment, accident and random drug and alcohol test-ing at any time of the day or night, throughout the year.

London, ON Decem-ber 2009) -- Rod Stiller, President

of National Truck League announces the reposition of the National Truck League brand. “National Truck League is known across Canada, as a lead-ing trucking industry in-

surance specialist. We want our brand synonym-ous with our reputation and will now be known as National Truck League In-surance Solutions”, says Stiller.

The new brand will re-inforce the Company’s focus on providing carri-

ers and Owner/Operators with personal protection, group benefits and truck insurance for individuals and fleets.

Stiller comments, “We find there are some in the trucking industry who are not aware of the range of risk management solu-

tions we provide with our insurance products and services. In response to this we are repositioning our sales team efforts, marketing, and customer service to ensure our clients receive the full benefit of our expertise and access to some of

the best products in the industry to keep their businesses stable and competitive”.

More changes are in the works for 2010 with additional products and services to assist carriers and Owner/Operators in increasing their business

operating efficiencies and to cost effectively manage insurance needs.

For more in fo rma-tion please call National Truck League’s Head Of-fice at 519.434.4944 or 1.800.265.6509 www.nat ional t ruck league.com.V

The December 10th meeting was all about giving. Peel

Regional Police and the local Fire Department were on hand to collect the food and toys that our generous members brought to the meeting. There were approximate-ly 306 toys donated to help unfortunate chil-dren in the area to have a nice Christmas. A total of $1,495 was raised by the A.T.S.S.A. and given to the Salvation Army in addition to the food donations. Thanks to everyone involved who gave their time, support and donations for this annual charity drive.

After dinner, the crowd

enjoyed the comedy rou-tine of Donnie Coy. The 50/50 draw tickers were sold out and each half was in excess of $400. Since there wasn’t a table from a question and answer period to choose the charity, the A.T.S.S.A. Executive de-cided to make a decision on who the recipient will be at their next Executive meeting.

Tickets for the Ladies Night Dance to be held on February 27th, 2010 will be on sale during the 2nd week of Janu-ary. The cost remains at $130 per couple and the rooms at the Mariott will be around if not the same rate as last year of $99.00 per room.

The Execut ive was sworn in wi th Steve P l a s k o s a s t h e n e w P r e s i d e n t w h o t o o k over from Ed Roeder. Dawn Violo, President of Emergency Road Ser-vices was sworn in as Publicity Chairman and will also assist Peter De-venish with the Tale Lite, A.T.S.S.A. ‘s monthly Newsletter. Dawn is the first woman to be sworn in as an A.T.S.S.A. execu-tive committee member.

To become an ATS member, contact Guido Groppini, Membership Chairman at 905-564-5404.

Sponsors for monthly meet ings are a lways welcome. This is your company’s opportunity

for a captive audience to present your prod-ucts! If you would like

to sponsor a meeting or if you have any sug-gestions for the Enter-

tainment Committee, contact Brian Sibbald at 905-564-7278.V

Through out 2009, O n t a r i o Tr u c k Training Academy

continued to attract new talent to the trucking in-dustry. Interestingly, we saw a fair representation of all age groups and not focused strictly on the older male driver.

For the first time MTCU, (Ministry of Training Col-leges and Universities), took a look at tractor trail-er truck driving course

standards. Those stan-dards mimic established industry standards, high-lighting a minimum of 50 hours behind the wheel, 40 hours in yard training, 62 hours instructor led classroom and 48 hours other training. Ontario Truck Training Academy adopted these standards in 2006 and have been monitoring the success of our students over the last 3 years.

We have been long standing members of TTSAO (Truck Training Schools Association of Ontario) and in 2009, we successful obtained PTDI (Professional Truck Driver Institute-USA). Both these accreditations are recog-nized by Markel Insurance Company of Canada for a two-three year insur-ance credit thus making graduates premiere hir-ing candidates. This year

we took the time to hone our pre-screening skills. Ontario Truck Training Academy established our own standards for student acceptance, based on the Markel Insurance (Driver Eligibility Guidelines). We review a candidates driving record, criminal record, medical, lifestyle and previous related job qualities. FAST informa-tion and applications are available at the school so

the process is started as soon as possible. To say the least, we have learnt a lot about FAST through the application process.

Training and funding simultaneously came to a crushing halt in August in part due to the Drive Test Strike and also due to the MTCU restructure of fund-ing. The new funding for-mula pays for about one third of the course. Candi-dates unemployed for over

one year are preferred. This is crushing for those that are unemployed over a year, particularly those waiting from August.

In 2010, faced with perhaps some new chal-lenges, Ontario Truck Training Academy will continue to pre-screen, encourage suitable can-didates to enter the truck-ing industry and work even closer with trucking companies.V

Inevitably a carrier can be guaranteed one thing – freight hauled

will not window the exact same freight from year to year. Other issues may remain a constant but the freight fluctuates with the times – whether imposed by competition through rates, increased manu-facturing, and success in securing a “contract” or yes, even through traged-ies i.e. shipment of special-ized equipment, water, emergency supplies.

With these changes it poses a question – how many times will a carrier review their cargo expos-ures and limits compared to the scope of coverage offered by their policy? The answer should be regu-larly, however in many circumstances this is not the case.

Some carriers will pur-chase exaggerated limits for the comfort of elim-inating all possibilities of breaching their policy lim-its. A premium is charged for this luxury and is thus not an option for many. Some may purchase higher limits for a specific load in which case the premium charged is not as signifi-cant, but still provides the security that the limits are sufficient for a potential exposure.

But a carrier’s focus should not be isolated to the policy limits. Dispatch and management should

expand their awareness of the cargo coverage ranging from the policy limits, to warranties of the policy i.e. restrictions imposed by application of specific endorsements i.e. reefer breakdown, tarpau-lin warranty, unattended vehicle, theft endorse-ments, and last but not least the scope of policy coverage i.e. Is loading and unloading covered, employee dishonesty, etc.? I have seen wording from non traditional Insurers that exclude theft after a specific time, wordings that exclude coverage for freight at the terminals or while loaded on trailers located at the terminal. In the cases I have been introduced to, these In-sured’s were not informed by their Broker of wordings and the perils they were assuming. Review exclu-sions of the policy and the details of how the policy will respond.

Another pitfall can be a change in the commodities being hauled. Perhaps the policy doesn’t respond properly.i.e. heated or re-frigerated freight, elec-tronics, pharmaceuticals, and copper. Also, material changes in the risk may also be excluded from the realm of policy con-sideration for example, hazardous freight. If not included, these changes should be discussed with your Broker and coverage be extended to accommo-

date coverage. Of course, depending on the amend-ments, premium charges could apply.

One may think that en-tering into a freight con-tract with a shipper brings jubilation to the income of the carrier. However, entering into a contract be-tween a carrier and a ship-per does not instantan-eously extend to the con-sideration of your Insurer. Contractual obligations could extend your por-tion of self insuring a risk beyond your self insured deductible. Some contracts stipulate that the carrier will accept responsibility

for loss of use – which a cargo policy will not cover. It is highly recommended that you have legal counsel review any and all con-tracts and secure written acceptance of your Insurer

before entering into a con-tractual obligation– unless of course you are confident of solely accepting respon-sibility for the conditions agreed to in the contract.

In summary, review

policy conditions, endorse-ments, exclusions and review your limits regu-larly. Ask questions and more importantly keep your Broker aware of ne-cessary changes.V

There are few things more nerve-wrack-ing for a driver than

to get stuck in snow or ice. The feeling can be even more helpless if you are stuck at night and the road you are on isn’t a well-traveled one. However, if you stay calm and don’t give in to the fear and frus-

tration, many times you can work yourself free.

Let’s start with some-thing you shouldn’t do. Applying too much power to the drive wheels can cause the wheels to do nothing but spin, which can make matters worse. Instead, apply steady light power.

If you are at a complete stop, having your front wheels turned isn’t a good idea, even for a front wheel drive. This increases the amount of power needed to get going again, since the vehicle is forced to move at an angle. Once the vehicle starts moving,

gently turning the wheel can get you going the way you want to go with a lot less effort and sliding.

Rocking the vehicle back and forth, forward and reverse, can help if the reason for being stuck is piled snow or ice is in front of and behind the tires. Patience is the key here. It can take quite a bit of rocking before the vehicle is free.

Letting a little air out of the tires can also greatly increase your traction and get you out of a stuck situation. Do keep in mind however that under inflat-ed tires cause the vehicle

to burn more gas. They also wear out faster, so you will want to air them back up when you are able to.

If you have someone with you and the vehicle is sliding, try having him or her put weight over the drive wheels. This increases traction and can get you out of a frustrating predicament.

Carry some form of snow shovel when traveling in snow and ice. A col-lapsible shovel takes up little space and doesn’t weigh much, but it can be a blessing if you find yourself stuck in a snow-

storm.Having material you can

put under the tires to in-crease traction can also be very helpful. Many people carry sand, which also helps by increasing the weight in the vehicle. Clay style dry cat litter is even better. A few handfuls in front of and behind all four tires can often get you right out of being stuck.

Not giving in to fear when you get stuck in the snow and ice is also a huge help as is having some notion of how to get unstuck. Some prepara-tion is helpful as well. If you follow the above tips,

you need never wonder what to do when you get stuck. You will be well on your way to getting free.

Drive safe, think positive and be prosperous.

Too many people in the industry think that opposition to

speed limiters is only about speed! That those opposed to limiters are reckless speed mongers. Appar-ently 80% of operators are against speed limiters yet very few would remotely be classified as speeders. Those who have survived the recession so far have done so because they conserved fuel through personal speed manage-ment. They slowed down because it’s financial sui-cide not to. Speed limiters have nothing to do with safety or GHG, they are a means of controlling the human resource pool. You, as a driver or operator, now do not have the op-tion to drive for a company that doesn’t electronically restrict trucks. The OTA members wanted access to the professional drivers who have chosen not to work for them. This is what is referred to as “leveling

the playing field”.Now, think about the

affect EOBR’s (Electronic On Board Recorders) will have on your future finan-cial and career options. Let’s conservatively say 25-50% of all loads are “freeboard”, defined as dispatching a load without having a trailer waiting at the other end. Now consider all the various potential delay/waiting issues (shipper/receiver/dispatcher/customs). Who will absorb the cost? You will! EOBR’s will record hourly behavior not ne-cessarily productivity (a huge difference in mean-ing). Drivers who are on a scheduled run, going “pin to pin”, will not notice any considerable change in their performance rated pay. However, the rest will have to financially absorb the industries cus-tomer, customs and/or dispatch inefficiencies. EOBR’s protect companies from operational industry risks by transferring them to drivers. The benefits of EOBR’s are almost ex-clusively retained by the companies.

My second book is com-ing out in spring 2011 (Making Your Miles Count: Choosing a trucking com-pany). One of the major

points in choosing a com-pany is “trust”. It really doesn’t matter what is written in the contract you signed, trusting the com-pany you drive for is the most critical of all factors. The real question is: do you trust the shareholders and management of the company you driver for? Are they honorable, or are they more focused on the company’s financial assets than intangible assets (customer service record, employee moral, loyalty, fairness, longevity)?

Pushing for EOBR’s, ex-poses a particular mind-set in company owners. It expresses a desire for control or manipulation over a perceived disloyal or uncooperative group. You cannot foster growth, synergy and maturity in an atmosphere of distrust and exploitation. Legislat-ing EOBR’s without con-sideration of the indus-tries human resources is short sighted, arrogant and greedy. It will further drive a wedge between drivers and the trucking company they work for. If the company you work for is an OTA member supporting speed limiters or pushing for EOBR’s consider your future!

Traffic ticket agen-cies are in the busi-ness of making a

profit the same as any other business. The dif-ference however is that in this business, the person selling the service is not in a position to make un-realistic promises. I often have potential clients ask-ing me to tell them exactly how their matter will turn out or to give a guarantee regarding the outcome of their case. I don’t give guarantees when it comes to the result of a matter before the court. I usu-ally have a pretty good idea how a matter will turn out, and most of the time I’m right. That being said, I have been in this business long enough to know that prosecutors are all different, with different approaches to different matters, and just because I can get a certain resolu-tion in one court is no

guarantee that I will get the same resolution in another. When it comes to matters proceeding to trial, one Justice of the Peace, or Judge, may rule in one way, and one in an-other. Although I usually have a good idea what the chances of success are at trial, I have lost trials that I should have won, and won trials that I should have lost. The thing to remem-ber is that we are dealing with human beings and each one thinks differently and takes a unique ap-proach to each case.

The problem here is that in an effort to be com-petitive, and make the “sale”, some traffic ticket agencies will make predic-tions and give guarantees. There was once a very well known traffic ticket agency that used to advertise “We Win or It’s Free”. This was of course a marketing ploy, and the “free” part of this guarantee was of course

subject to a number of conditions, and seldom did anyone have their matter represented for no cost.

When you have been charged with an offence, especially in the case of a truck driver who may have their livelihood on the line, it’s easy for a paralegal to paint a rosy picture of the outcome in order to make the sale.

Beware of unrealistic predictions when retain-ing a paralegal or lawyer to represent you in court. If you have doubts about the guarantee or prediction being offered by someone that you are considering hiring to represent you, get a second opinion. The person you hire should be able to describe the ap-proach they will be taking to address your matter, and may offer some de-gree of the prospects of success, without guaran-teeing the outcome.

I guess the thing to re-member is the old saying “if it sounds too good to be true it likely is”.

As mentioned last month there are lots of foods full of

enzymes to help support your digestive system, but there are also lots of Nat-ural Remedies as well.

Enzymes all foods must be digested by enzymes, therefore supplementation is sometimes necessary. A multi enzyme supplement is a good choice. Choose one, which contains pan-creatic enzymes, Betaine hydrochloride or glutamic acid and bile. Take en-zymes during the meal or after. The following help support the digestive system.

Aloe Vera helps as an

anti-inflammatory, which help ulcers, and reduces bleeding.

Apple Cider Vinegar in the digestive tract, acid discourages the growth of bacteria.

Betaine HCL people who are deficient in stomach acid often complain they feel bloated in the stom-ach or the food feels like a rock and is not being digested. Sometimes there is burping or hiccups.

Chlorophyll called “the blood of plants”. Chloro-phyll helps the body to ob-tain more oxygen and acts as a “magnet” in drawing out toxins from the body.

Fiber has been called “the essential non-di-

gestible”. Fiber exercises the colon by stimulating muscular contractions of the intestine. Fiber works like a broom for the in-testine sweeping it clean. The best sources of fiber include fruit, vegetables, beans and whole grain.

Ginger is of great benefit to the stomach and intes-tines and can be taken for indigestion, nausea and cramps.

These are just a few of the natural remedied that maintain a healthy digest-ive system and a healthy YOU.

line and the assessment stands as corrected.

Owe money? If you are unable to pay the full amount owing to CRA, it is possible to negotiate a reasonable payment ar-rangements based on your financial status. Ignoring letters and calls from CRA will only get your assets seized. Talk to them. They can help given the right attitude.

If you are unable to pay [not unwilling] you can submit a formal proposal under the Bankruptcy Act without going bankrupt. The only other option may be to go bankrupt. Talk to a Bankruptcy firm for information. There

is usually no fee for the initial consultation. An-other choice may be to speak with a Lawyer who specializes in the Income Tax Act.

Taxpayer Relief provi-sions [formerly known as ‘Fairness’] provide the following relief when war-ranted by the taxpayer’s circumstances:

Cancel/waive penalties and interest

Accept late-filed, amend-ed or revoked income tax elections

Issue income tax refunds beyond the normal 3 year period

Voluntary Disclosure allows a taxpayer to file past due returns and/or

correct false information filed on a return[s] without the fear of penalties or prosecution - IF you have not received a request from CRA for past due returns. ALWAYS apply for

Voluntary Disclosure prior to filing any outstanding returns.

CRA is legally entitled to request {demand} records and information from you. Not only will you be denied

any deductions/expenses you have claimed, you can be prosecuted by law.
