Ontario announces measures to improve rest areas and road safety

he recent announcement by the provincial government to build four new rest areas and repairing or expanding 10 existing facilities along provincial highways in Northern Ontario has been welcomed by the trucking industry. Research confirms that driver fatigue contributes to a significant number of truck collisions. Providing more opportunities for trucks and other vehicles to stop and safely park so that drivers can rest will make travelling safer and more comfortable, especially for those who need to drive long distances. A new report from the Traffic Industry Research Foundation (TIRF) is calling for employers to act on distracted driving, at a time when motor vehicle collisions remain a leading cause of traumatic workplace incidents. Distracted driving has been identified as a factor in one in four fatal crashes, while a related analysis found that distracted drivers are more likely to kill other road users than themselves. New technologies and telematics are tools that could help fleets better identify distracted driving incidents and near misses. We encourage trucking fleets to take needful steps and address the issue. Winter road conditions have arrived, and drivers need to seasonally adjust their driving habits to make it to and from their destination safely with the onset of snow and icy conditions. These winter conditions require drivers to allow more time for their vehicle to stop and to start from a stopped position. The government is making investments to provide drivers and the trucking industry with additional information to support safer route planning when travelling on provincial highways. In this regard, features on the Ontario 511 app have been expanded to improve winter maintenance this year. This includes additional 24 Road Weather Information Stations that provide forecasts to help winter maintenance crews prepare for a storm. The year 2020 has been like no other and all of us are looking ahead to 2021 with a ray of optimism and hope. We extend holiday greetings to all readers, patrons, and industry colleagues. Stay safe, healthy, and please mark the festive season by following all public health measures put in place.

he federal government is warning carriers that any abuse of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) will result in serious penalties including hefty fines and permanent bans. The warning was issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) amid allegations that some fleets are cashing in on the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process, which allows companies to hire people under the TFWP. Before any foreigner can be hired for a particular job, employers have to prove that no Canadian is available to fill the position, and that is done through the LMIA process, supervised by ESDC. A positive LMIA is issued by ESDC through Service Canada under TFWP, which was launched many years ago to ease shortages of skilled workers in various sectors of the economy. In a statement emailed to Road Today, an ESDC spokeswoman said the department will not tolerate any abuse of the program. “Employment and Social Development Canada takes the

Student’s plight When the Quebec government abruptly decided to throw out some 18,000 immigration applications early last year, international students were among the most affected. Their immigration hopes were dashed overnight after years of waiting. “KN”, an electronics engineering student from an Asian country who submitted his application four years prior, was rattled by the surprise move. But he was still in a better position than most – he had a three-year open work permit and a truck driver’s licence.

based in the Peel Region, started demanding money for processing his documents, once his permit expires at the end of the year. In tapes recorded by KN and made available to Road Today, a company executive is heard bargaining the amount of money it needs to secure a positive LMIA. The conversation comes to an end when KN rejects the final “discounted” figure of $15,000, calling it “unfair”. He subsequently leaves the job. “I am not alone. This is happening every single day, and there are so many victims,” KN said of the LMIA abuse. His plight just illustrates what international students and other temporary workers are going through in their pursuit of the Canadian dream.

We believe that electrification is the way of the future as we work together across multiple industries to reduce our carbon footprint,” said Sam Johal, Pride Group Enterprises CEO. “As well, we have the option to increase our order as we gauge customer acceptance of this new technology.” Pride says its initial order will secure initial build slots. It will deploy those trucks into the markets that are most suitable for electric trucks, such as California. “Pride Group Enterprises’ vision is to invest in facilities that will support charging, full-service maintenance, and a consistent supply of electric trucks on North American highways,” added Johal. “We have first-hand knowledge of the transportation industry across multiple verticals and we strongly believe that electric truck technology will overcome many challenges facing traditional diesel technology such as the related maintenance and associated downtime.” Pride Group says it investing in charging infrastructure to provide full-service maintenance at all its locations. “With the addition of electric trucks to our portfolio of products, our service offering to our customers continues to evolve,” said Aman Johal, vice-president of operations. “Our reservation with Tesla is the first of many and we continue to work with all OEM partners and have more exciting projects in the works. We have put a lot of focus on growing from an equipment supplier to a complete onestop-shop for the transportation industry. Some of the other offerings we’ve added include short-term rentals, full-service maintenance, in-house OEM warranty work and 3PL solution to name a few.”

They will include more bathrooms, improved lighting and increased parking. “In these extraordinary times, we recognize that there is a significant need for better facilities at rest areas in Northern Ontario for our province’s travelers and truck drivers,” Mulroney said. “Building more rest areas with better facilities will make traveling safer and more comfortable, especially for those who need to drive long distances. Through these improvements we are also taking steps to raise awareness of human trafficking to help put an end to this serious problem.” Eight of the projects, most of them along Hwy. 17, are slated for completion next year.

FPInnovations will be the first body to certify Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) as Canada prepares to mandate the technology. Federally regulated carriers will need to equip trucks with certified ELDs beginning June 12, 2021. While U.S. regulators allow suppliers to self-certify that equipment meets underlying technical standards, Transport Canada requires third-party certification to help ensure the devices are not prone to tampering. Glen Legere, FPInnovations senior director – Fibre Supply Innovation Centre of Excellence, referred to the accreditation process as “rigorous”. FPInnovations’ transportation research group had already established an optional service that can be used to ensure that devices meet U.S. technical standards. “I look forward to seeing even more companies accredited in the near future,” said Transport Minister Marc Garneau. “The start of Electronic Logging Device certification is a major milestone on our path towards improving road safety in Canada by having these devices installed in commercial vehicles.”

ELD benefits Transport Canada has calculated that mandatory ELDs will reduce the risk of fatigue-related collisions by about 10%, while also reducing administrative burdens such as the need for paper daily logs and the time enforcement officers need to verify compliance.

20 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2020

ROADTODAY.COM

The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) and Teamsters Canada quickly emerged with statements applauding the move. “The process for ELD validation is expected to take three to four weeks with the certifying body being able to handle multiple ELD vendors at the same time,” said CTA president Stephen Laskowski. “All systems are a go for a new era of hours of service compliance beginning in June 2021, which covers the Canadian trucking industry engaged in inter-provincial and international trade.” Provinces and territories will still determine whether ELDs are required for trucks that remain within their borders. Teamsters Canada, meanwhile, sees the approaching mandate as benefitting safety. “We are now one step closer to a future where all trucking companies have to play by the same set of rules and put safety first. Third party certified ELDs will help enforce hours of service rules designed to reduce driver fatigue, prevent accidents and ultimately save lives,” said Teamsters Canada president François Laporte. But Mike Millian, president of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, continues to raise concerns about the related timelines. “We’re glad to hear that we’ve reached this stage in the regulation finally, and it’s a positive that we now finally do have an approved third-party certification body,” Millian said. “But it does not change our opinion we are still going to run into issues with the timelines, with there only being 7-1/2 months left until the June 12 deadline.” With the certification process expected to take four to six weeks, that leaves fleets less than six months to work with a list of certified devices, he said. “It doesn’t change our opinion that we are still going to look at some form of enforcement delay.” Regulators have repeatedly said that there are no plans to delay enforcement beyond June 12, 2021. Transport Canada adds that the ELD mandate also addresses a recommendation following the Saskatchewan Coroners Service recommendation, following a multi-fatality collision involving a bus carrying members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team. Chantal Guay, CEO of the Standards Council of Canada, referred to it as a “critical step” for improving safety, and cited collaboration with the council, Transport Canada, and industry alike. “This important milestone is an example of the positive impact of Canada’s standardization system on the overall health and safety of Canadians,” Guay said.

Jack Lochand’s journey: From sailor to driving instructor By Abdul Latheef SCARBOROUGH, Ontario Jagdesh (Jack) Lochand believes traveling is the best experience one can ever have. He should know. Lochand, 62, has been traveling since he was 17, when he joined the Nordic merchant navy as a sailor on a chemical carrier. “I saw almost half of the world – the whole of the Caribbean, the whole of South America and the whole of Europe. I had also been to parts of Africa, and of course, all countries in North America.” Lochand was born in the South American country of Guyana in a family of immigrants from India. He grew up in a farm, where he had “plenty of opportunities” to operate agricultural equipment at an early age. But it was the 11-year career at sea that changed his view of the world, and life itself. For the same reason, he considers himself as a graduate of the school of hard knocks.

Lochand worked his way up from a messboy to a mechanic, and finally to the most satisfying job he ever had – chef. “It was a pleasure to cook for many different nationalities.” So, when he arrived in Canada in 1989, he knew where exactly he wanted to work. After stints at several restaurants, Lochand decided it was time to open his own eatery. In 1997, Lochand and his wife Shaira opened Jack and Ann’s Family Restaurant Cafe in Scarborough, Ont., which specialized in Caribbean food. “This restaurant lasted eight months only because there was a recession, and I lost all my savings,” Lochand said, referring to the ripple effects of the Asian financial crisis of 1997. It was difficult to get back to the industry. Three more years passed before Lochand decided to turn to trucking as he already had some experience driving heavy vehicles in Guyana. He enrolled at Adanac Truck Training as a student in 1999. The school was run by Wayne Campbell, the former president of the Truck Training Schools of Ontario (TTSAO), with whom he built up a good relationship. Lochand graduated in early 2000. “The very next day, I went to the United States, hauling steel on a flatbed. Later I become an owner-operator.” Lochand drove trucks for 10 years before acquiring Adanac on Campbell’s death. He renamed the school Alpine Truck Driving. “The school was named after the alpine trees I saw on my travels to Europe,” he said. Alpine also owns a small fleet, but Lochand is now focused on driver training. “I am not just teaching them how to drive trucks, I am giving them a new life,” he said. “I don’t care how long it takes for me to train them. The program is eight weeks, but some people need more time. There are slow learners and fast learners. Everybody learns differently.” Lochand said working as a driving instructor is no different from working as a sailor. What matters most is the attitude, he said. “Whatever you do, you have to have a good positive attitude to be successful.” Since Alpine was launched 10 years ago, Lochand has trained some 1,000 people. “One of the students was a medical doctor, who couldn’t find a job in his filed. So, he came here to learn and become a truck driver.” Lochand and his wife have two daughters, Shellisa and Angelina, and a son, Aaron. They live in Markham, Ont. Lochand spends his free time watching or playing cricket. “And you know what, cricket is what motivated me to teach driving,” he said. “It is just like a game we are playing. If we want to win this game, we have to be a team player.”.

A $3-million donation from a trucking industry pioneer will help to develop Canada’s first clinical genome center for the treatment of cancer and other genetic diseases. Archie Verspeeten, who founded Verspeeten Cartage in 1953 with an $800 loan, made the donation to create the Archie and Irene Verspeeten Clinical Genome Centre at London Health Sciences Centre. His late wife Irene died of cancer, as did their son Alan. “This means more to my family than words can convey,” said son Ron Verspeeten, speaking on behalf of the family at a virtual event Oct .14. “My family has been greatly impacted by cancer over the years, so we understand the pain that goes along with this diagnosis.” “The creation of the Verspeeten Clinical Genome Centre will have a profound effect in the lives of patients with complex diseases not only in our community, but also in communities around the world,” said John MacFarlane, president and CEO at the London Health Sciences Foundation. “It is because of Archie and Irene’s vision and deep-rooted passion to find a cure to end cancer that this Centre is possible.” Genomic profiling allows doctors to create personalized treatment options based on a patient’s DNA. Cancer, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders and developmental disabilities are some of the illnesses that can be treated this way. “This is the first facility of its kind in Canada. It integrates the advanced translational research capabilities of a genome centre within the highly standardized and regulated clinical diagnostic laboratory environment,” said Dr. Bekim Sadikovic, scientific and clinical director of the Verspeeten Clinical Genome Centre. “I am so humbled that we are able to support launching the first Clinical Genome Centre in Canada,” said Archie Verspeeten. The lead gift of $3 million sets the groundwork for the Centre, but the total cost will be about $10 million. Further fundraising is underway.

Western Star takes wraps off all-new 49X vocational truck

A new Western Star, six years in the making, is joining the family, and the OEM boasts the truck is the organization’s most comprehensively tested vehicle ever. The new Western Star 49X is lighter-weight, more durable, and safer than the popular 4900, which will continue to be offered alongside the 49X. The new truck debuts a vocational version of the DT12 automated manual transmission, and is the first Western Star to offer the Detroit Assurance 5.0 suite of active safety systems. Tracy Mack-Askew, general manager, heavy-duty vocational platform, said the new offering meets the high standards of Western Star customers and dealers, and then some, coming in a lighter-weight package without sacrificing durability and also bringing the newest safety technologies to the vocational segment. “We have spent years perfecting this truck and ensuring it’s the best vocational truck,” Mack-Askew said of the 49X. “It has really earned its place to be called a Western Star. We listened to our clients in Canada and the U.S. and developed some of the harshest tracks and harshest roads to prove the durability of the new 49X.” It comes in 350 lbs lighter than the 4900, thanks in part to a

new aluminum X-Series cab with steel reinforcements where needed to maintain durability. Safety is also enhanced through improved visibility over the hood, enabled by splayed frame rails, and through the windshield, now 28% larger than found in the 4900. An optional threepiece rear window that’s 77% larger also enhances visibility. The door opens a full 70 degrees to make getting in and out of the cab easier, which Samantha Parlier, DTNA’s vice-president of vocational market segment development, said should help reduce slips and falls – the second leading cause of worksite injuries. A trenched roof design allows room for air horns, roof-mounted lights or other equipment, while maintaining a more body builder-friendly roof height, half an inch lower in the center than that of the 4900. Parlier said Daimler invested more than US$100 million globally to adapt its popular DT12 automated manual transmission to the vocational segment. That meant adding features such as: side PTO capabilities; a rock-free mode to escape from wheel-stuck situations; an off-road mode for smoother driving on rough terrain such as logging roads; power launch for more powerful takeoffs; and a paver mode that can shift from Neutral to Drive without pushing the brake pedal in slow-moving paving operations. Two models are available, the DT12-V and DT12-VX, with GCWRs of up to 330,000 lbs. It has undergone more than 35 million miles of testing, DTNA claims. Engine options include the Detroit DD15 and DD16, as well as the Cummins X15 and X12. The truck’s available as a day cab or with 36-, 48-, 60-, or 72-inch sleepers in set-forward or setback axle configurations. The Western Star 49X will be available to order this winter, with deliveries beginning in early 2021.

Daimler’s autonomous journey The OEM has been showcasing the potential of automated commercial vehicles since 2014, when it demonstrated the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck, and the following year when it brought the Freightliner Inspiration Truck to Nevada. Many of those underlying technologies emerged in the Level 2 capabilities of Detroit Assurance 5.0, such as the lane-keeping assistance available on today’s Freightliner Cascadias. Meanwhile, the recently formed Daimler Trucks Autonomous Technology Group is setting up a new test center in Albuquerque, NM, in the southwestern region of the U.S. that has become a hotbed of such experiments. Waymo experience with trucks Waymo itself has been developing autonomous vehicle technology for 11 years, and is now deploying the Waymo Driver for tests in Phoenix, Ariz. It began working with commercial trucks in March 2017. A pilot project in 2018 saw hundreds of runs completed to and from Google’s data centers in Atlanta, Ga. The company has also announced that it’s working with Fiat Chrysler to develop Class 1-3 autonomous commercial vehicles, initially integrating the software into the Ram ProMaster van.

Republic Services has taken delivery of its first Mack LR Electric waste collection truck. The keys were handed over during a virtual ceremony and press conference Oct. 6 at Mack Trucks headquarters in Greensboro, N.C. The truck will be put into service on a residential route in Hickory, N.C., while Mack evaluates its performance before a commercial rollout in 2021. The truck comes with two electric motors producing 536 peak hp and 4,051 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s powered byy four lithium-ion batteries, which ut 90 can be charged in about minutes. The body, a Heil atCommand ST automaten ed side loader has been optimized for electricc trucks, Mack revealed. It’s a lightweight body that maximizes hauling capacity and only draws power when needed, helping to extend battery life. Thee ASL arm is body-mounted to free up frame rail space for batteries and other auxiliary components. The waste segment represents about 7,000 trucks a year, with 55% being cabovers like the LR. Randall noted Mack is the only OEM to offer two cabover platforms – the LR and TerraPro – in addition to the Granite for rolloff and some other collection applications. The Mack LR Electric will produce zero tailpipe emissions, and will reduce noise. Those who wait till they hear the garbage truck approaching before rushing their trash out to the curb may have to begin planning ahead, Randall joked. A modular power box sits where the diesel engine would normally be. It also houses the central charging unit, the electronic control units, fuse panels, thermal management system and junction box. The entire vehicle outweighs a diesel-powered Mack LR, but the company didn’t disclose by how much. Fans and other auxiliary equipment are electrified and an e-PTO is mounted on the chassis to drive the hydraulics. The truck can produce up to 536 peak hp or 448 continuous hp. The LR Electric is monitored by Mack’s GuardDog Connect telematics and remote diagnostics platform. Mack’s first LR Electric was deployed earlier this year into the New York City Department of Sanitation fleet.

Denso’s J180 mount alternator has been added to the company’s lineup of 12-volt, 170-amp 24PE alternators. A square wire copper stator, known as the segment conductor, helps the PowerEdge component deliver higher amps at idle and cruising speeds. And a remote sense function is also standard, allowing batteries to recharge faster after start-up and extending battery life, the company says. The PowerEdge brand now includes 18 part numbers of replacement starters and alternators, with electrical parts covering Class 8 nameplates including Freightliner, Hino, International, Kenworth, Mack, Peterbilt, Sterling, Volvo and Western Star. The PowerEdge products are backed by a oneyear/unlimited mileage warranty.
