Message from the BCTA President and CEO

he British Columbia Trucking Association (BCTA) is honoured to present TRUXPO 2014, western Canada’s largest trucking and logistics exhibition. TRUXPO is always a worthwhile and fun event for members of the road transportation industry and the public, but this year show organizer Master Promotions has introduced some “firsts” that I’m excited to see and experience. First, I’m pleased to welcome the Alberta Motor Transport Association, the Saskatchewan and Manitoba Trucking Associations and the Northern BC Truckers Association as new sponsors of the show. Endorsement by BCTA’s fellow industry associations means you can be sure that top manufacturers and suppliers are here to showcase and demonstrate a complete range of equipment and services for companies serving the four western provinces, all under the Tradex roof in Abbotsford. And this year, one roof isn’t enough! In another first, we’re hosting TRUXPO side by side with the Pacific Heavy Equipment Show, which features vehicles, equipment, parts and services for general construction, public works, utilities, aggregate production, and road building and maintenance service providers. Coordinating the dates for these shows makes good sense for many industry owners and operators, making it easy to view and purchase a variety of equipment at one convenient location. Just as TRUXPO continues to support the practical day-to-day needs of motor carriers, BCTA

looks after a wide range of industry issues as an advocate with all levels of government on behalf of our members. We take on challenges to do with infrastructure, taxation, safety and environmental issues; attraction, recruitment and retention of skilled workers; and cross-border requirements, so trucking and motor coach fleets can concentrate on what they do best – moving goods and passengers all over BC and beyond. I invite you to drop by BCTA’s booth (#444) during the show. We look forward to seeing you, whether you’re a member or just want to learn more about our work and the programs and services we offer. In closing, I’d like to commend Master Promotions for their hard work on TRUXPO 2014. From the new Show & Shine sponsored by Pro-Trucker Magazine to Driver Appreciation Day and a lively entertainment program, there’s something here for everyone. Enjoy your visit! Best regards, Louise Yako President & CEO

safety seal of approval What the Trucking Safety Council of B.C.’s Certificate of Recognition can mean for your fleet

afety driven. It’s not only a philosophy and a commitment, it’s a website and it’s the public face of the Trucking Safety Council of B.C., which delivers free, confidential advice and training for the trucking, transportation, warehousing, shipping and logistics sectors. But it’s the organization’s COR certification that seems to grab trucking companies the most. COR, or “Certificate of Recognition,” is kind of a “Good Housekeeping seal of approval,” proclaiming that your company has done its due diligence when it comes to running a safe ship, been awarded the certification, and can therefore display it proudly. It’s more than that, though. According to John McMahon, executive director of the Trucking Safety Council of B.C., the COR program is also about communicating to others that you run a safe operation, because it enables companies to “clearly state to their competitors and potential employees that they care about workplace safety and they’re less likely to let you down.” Getting certified basically requires that you develop and implement Occupational Health and Safety and injury-management programs. The COR is valid for three years from the date of certification, provided the company performs internal maintenance audits in the years between. An external audit is required for re-certification. One of the companies that has qualified for the Council’s COR is Mission’s T-Lane Transportation & Logistics, which has a fleet of about 65 trucks, according to operations manager Jeff White. “We haul everything from soup to nuts,” he said. “The bigger and wider and uglier it is, the more we like doing it. Most of T-Lane’s drivers are owner/ operators, backed by a support staff of 40 or so. Besides Mission, T-Lane has a presence in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montréal and New Brunswick. White said T-Lane came to the Trucking Safety Council because “at the end of the day, safety is a core component of how we conduct our business. We’ve always wanted to make sure that T-Lane is regarded as being a premier carrier, and in order to do that you have a strong safety record. COR certification helps promote the fact that we take safety seriously.” And while the company includes its COR certification proudly on all their e-mail signatures,

White said “it’s not like I go up and down the street waving a flag, but when we’re doing RFPs and RFQs for large potential customers or jobs, it’s one of the main things we put out there to help promote our dedication towards safety.” He noted the company recently went through a major RFP where “having the COR certification pretty much answered 95% of the safety-related questions they had for us. So it’s certainly simplified the whole application process in that regard.”

BFI Canada, a Progressive Waste Solutions Company, had a similar experience. The company has 12 locations in B.C., employing about 300 people and running some 200 trucks. “We do everything from commercial to residential,” said district health and safety manager Nick Zivkovic. “We’re a full-service provider.” Zivkovic is based out of the company’s Coquitlam office, but he was well-versed in COR. “When I found that there was a COR program for transportation in B.C, I volunteered to take the lead and got in touch with (the Council) and started the whole process,” he said. Certification started with some schooling, after which Zivkovic took the internal auditor course. “From that point on it was a matter of making sure that the entire province was relatively working under the same flag as well as we could,” he said, noting that different branches had different ways of doing things but that “the COR brings a certain consistency across the operation.”

And where a single audit or analysis may miss something, the COR process is designed not to. “Every time you think you’ve got everything covered, something else comes along and you need to tweak that, too,” Zivkovic said, “so it was a good exercise for us. You’re always going to find areas of improvement; there’s always going to be better ways to do (something). Your company and your program become stronger because of it.” Zivkovic said the company had done a gap analysis the year before pursuing its COR, noting that “we’re also part of a program with WorkSafe called ‘Focus on Safety’, so we’re always trying to find the gaps and improve on them. And the COR helped that.” Other benefits of having your COR include a WCB rebate. “We qualified for a 10% rebate, so that was substantial when you spread it across the entire province,” Zivkovic said. He also visits the Council’s website regularly to check out new content his company can use to spice up their own material. “Sometimes the stuff we put out here gets a little stale for our employees,” he said, “so we try to change it up and their website is a resource for us. Most of it’s on video, so I will utilize that.” Like T-Lane, BFI appreciates the bragging rights, though they don’t brag much. “We’re not screaming it in the streets,” Zivkovic said. “The only place we actually use that right now is when we’re going for RFPs. We have a health and safety package we submit, and in that package is an explanation of what our program is and who is part of (it).” The package also contains bios and explains their training materials.

Rick Viventi, the Kamloops-based director of safety for the family-owned Arrow Transportation, has been involved with the Council since before there was such a thing. “We were…in the first Partners in Compliance program in Alberta,” he said, “and because of that we became involved in the Partners in Injury Reduction, the very first occupational health and safety-related program to measure company safety performance.” When discussions to come up with similar programs began in B.C., he got right on board. “Because of the experience our company had

in Alberta,” he said, “we were asked to be part of the development process, and from that spawned the Trucking Safety Council of B.C.”. Arrow used the Council to obtain its COR certification because it fit in with its corporate philosophy. “We believe that COR certification really allows companies to measure themselves against a standard and provides avenues for improvement,” Viventi said, “and in the end, that’s what we really want to do, make sure our people are safe and that we have safe trucking operations that the public can feel comfortable with when they’re going around your trucks and other trucks in the industry.” Viventi said Arrow doesn’t use all the Council’s services, but not because there’s nothing they can use. “They have a lot of good programs,” he said, noting that “we haven’t used the mentorship program but we do use tools like the gap analysis and safety helpline, and I think there’s value in them because not every employer has a safety department. They’re a really good resource to access.” Benefits to Arrow of having its COR include a better bankbook. “When a company manages occupational health and safety and over the road safety, there’s always going to be financial benefits,” Viventi said, “and if we reduce injuries we’re definitely going to have a saving on the bottom line.” He said the tools provided by the Trucking Safety Council are great and if companies would put them to use they’d see financial benefits over time for “a well-run, safe company.” As it turns out, a well-run, safe company may not even have an onerous ordeal getting COR certification, just a reimaging of existing procedures to match COR standards. “It didn’t require a lot of changes,” T-Lane’s Jeff White said of his company’s qualification process, “but it required some fine tuning. When the initial audit was done, there were a few refinements of different things we had to do and a couple of different processes we had to add, but it didn’t require wholesale change in the way we conduct ourselves.” BFI Canada’s Nick Zivkovic said the benefits of the COR program, and with partnering with the Council for its mentoring program, are huge. “There’s so much value that if something was to happen, you have a very good understanding of either why it happened, or you might be able to avoid it (in the first place) because your eyes were opened by dealing with the TSCBC.” Perhaps White summed up the issue best. “As professional trucking companies, we owe it to the public to make sure that safety is first and foremost in all of our minds,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s important to make sure that everybody is putting forth the right message in regards to safety. “ For more information about the Trucking Safety Council of B.C. check out their website at ss http://www.safetydriven.ca/.

Why lighting systems fail And what you can do to prevent it BY JAMES MENZIES

scalpel in the hands of a surgeon can be a vital tool, yet the same device can be used by a madman to inflict harm on others. The same can be said of test probes, when used to troubleshoot lighting systems. “A test probe is a murder weapon (for lighting systems),” Bill Sumner, Canadian OEM manager for Grote said during a seminar at last year’s Transportation Maintenance and Technology Conference. “It’s the worst tool ever invented. If used properly, it’s a good tool to have in your toolbox, but when you start poking through wire to see if there’s power there, you’re asking for all sorts of trouble.” The seemingly harmless tiny holes left by a test probe are enough to allow corrosion to set in, agreed Errico Paolucci, Ontario regional manager with Truck-Lite. “A mechanic should never use test probes to puncture insulation while troubleshooting lighting complaints,” he said. “Salt molecules will penetrate the smallest hole and start causing corrosion.” If that advice comes too late, existing holes should be immediately sealed using heat shrink tubing, Paolucci added. “If not, wicking action can cause moisture to travel considerable distances inside the wire, resulting in corrosion at critical locations, destroying the circuit,” he said. Corrosion is one of the most common causes of lighting system failure. Water, dirt, salt and other contaminants can penetrate the tiniest holes and wreak havoc on a lighting system. Lighting experts suggest using a non-conductive grease to encapsulate connectors and keep corrosion at bay. Another cause of light failure is the constant shock and vibration of travelling over the road. There are lights on the market that have been designed with shock-mounted mechanisms, which cradle the bulb and absorb the effects of road inputs. LEDs are less susceptible to harm from vibration, according to Paolucci. Another issue that crops up is improper voltage. Paolucci estimates as much as 60% of bulb failures are

not as they first appear. Often, they result from voltage spikes as a result of things like starting the engine with the lights turned on. Paolucci suggested avoiding starting the vehicle while the lights or other heavy draw accessories are turned on. He also suggested regularly checking the voltage, noting that just one volt beyond the designed voltage will reduce the life expectancy of a bulb by more than 50%. Incorrect voltage should be investigated, not ignored. “To correct voltage problems, discover the real cause,” Paolucci said. “Undervoltage is often caused by poor electrical connections.” Don’t just ramp up the voltage to compensate for the problem, he added, noting: “Overvoltage is a killer of lamps and batteries.” Each failed lamp has a story to tell, and Paolucci advised against throwing bulbs away without first investigating the cause of the failure. A bulb with stretched or broken filaments most likely failed due to vibration. A yellowish, whitish or bluish glaze on the bulb indicates a rupture in the bulb’s glass envelope. A dark, metallic finish indicates old age. And a black, sooty bulb indicates a poor seal in the bulb, Paolucci explained. Truck-Lite has found that 20% of the lamps that are discarded are still in working condition. The lamps should be removed and bench tested to see if they can be resurrected. Another common cause of lighting system failures is a poor ground connection, especially when the trailer is used for a ground. When lamps are grounded through the lamp housing, Paolucci said to ensure there’s a clean metal-to-metal connection. A fifth wheel ground strap can be used for added protection on the chassis ground sys-

tem.Incandescent bulbs can have their lives cut short by excessive heat. This is less of a concern with LEDs, which draw less power. Dirt on the lens of an incandescent bulb can cause heat to build up, eventually leading to failure, Paolucci said. “All lamps will live longer if they run cool and can dissipate heat,” he said. When cleaning lights, be sure to use a compatible cleaning product, Paolucci suggested. Many commonly used cleaning chemicals can penetrate the plastic and cause cracking.

Troubleshooting lighting failures One way to prevent lighting issues is to incorporate a complete inspection of the wiring harness into your preventive maintenance program, Grote’s Sumner suggested. “Harness systems are installed on a piece of equipment and then forgotten about until there’s a problem, and by that time it’s too late,” he said. “If adding the complete harness system to your PM schedule is not practical, then consider, at least, instructing technicians to inspect the harness system on a regular basis as much as possible.” While a preventive maintenance program can reduce the likelihood of problems, any shop will encounter some lighting-related issues over time. The first step in troubleshooting a problem, according to Paolucci, is to use a multi-meter tool to measure the voltage at the J560 connector, which is the entry point for the system’s power. If appropriate power is reaching the lamp, the next step is to check the lamp itself for failure. The lamp should be removed from its mounting and unplugged from the harness, Paolucci explained. Also check the lamp’s plug connection. If the lamp itself appears to be okay, inspect the harness pigtail to ensure it’s working. Look for evidence of corrosion and clean all contacts. Check to ensure the lamp is properly grounded and test the exposed terminals on the harness pigtail using a multi-meter, Paolucci continued. If the lamp and pigtail are not to blame, move to the nearest wire con2014 TRUXPO SHOW GUIDE 17 ss

Truxpo Show Guide 2014.indd 17

14-08-12 9:42 AM

nection and inspect for problems. “Follow the wiring harness to the next plugged connection or junction box,” Paolucci explained. “Begin by unplugging the harness, and test for proper voltage on exposed terminals.” If the problem is still elusive, he said to inspect the J-box, but avoid using test probe wires. If everything inspected so far has checked out, move on to the J-560 nose box connection and examine the main cable. “The best way to identify the problem within the harness system is to evaluate the system’s continuity and resistance,” Paolucci said. “To do so, a break in the system must be found, by looking for highs and lows in the system. Highs and lows in the current could be caused by inconsistencies in wire, and can be found in broken wires and even instances of cross-talk within the wire.” He suggested using a multi-meter to conduct these tests - but only when the system is powered off. The test lead should be connected to either end of the wire and then attached to a multi-meter. A beep should indicate there is no continuity problem. If the harness is found to be the source of the problem, it’s then time to track down where in the harness the wire is broken. Paolucci suggested starting at the connector, looking for abnormal signs that could indi-

cate a failure, such as water wicking – the travel of water along the inside of a wire. Water wicking is bad news. The water can travel alongside the copper wire, eventually causing corrosion within an entire wiring harness. If the failure is caused by a damaged connector, Paolucci said to replace the connector, after checking it with a continuity meter to ensure that all wires are making contact with their connector pins. When cutting off the connector, be sure to leave enough wire for working on both sides of the cut, he added. Harness damage can often be traced back to the inappropriate use of a piercing probe, which leaves a hole that can then be penetrated by water. But road debris can also provide contaminants with a convenient entranceway. Paolucci said to look for swelling in the wire, which could indicate the presence of corrosion. Occasionally, wires inside the liner can be damaged or broken without any damage appearing on the insulator that contains the damaged wire. This too, can be bad news, as it’s difficult to locate the failure and in some instances, the entire length of wire must be replaced. Wires that are connected too tightly could experience problems when temperature fluctuations cause them to expand and contract. “Repeated flexing will stress the wire and can sometimes cause it to break,” Paolucci said. “To avoid this, connectors and splices should be restrained to prevent damage from excessive motion during vehicle movement… Look for sharp bends in the wires of the appearance of a wire kink. Look for these at the secured ends of a tight wire or at the secured ends of an excessively loose wire, that can move a lot during vehicle motion.”

When a damaged section of wire is located and removed, check it for signs of corrosion, Paolucci advised. Any corroded sections of wire should be removed. Dull or dirty wires can be cleaned using steel wool or fine sandpaper, he added. For best results, solder the wires together and use heat shrink tubing to seal the connection. Crimp the connection to ensure it stays intact. Lighting system problems can be among the most challenging to diagnose and repair, but avoiding the use of test probes and monitoring the condition of the wiring harness on a regular basis can go a long way towards eliminating these types of problems in the first place, Paolucci reiterated. ss

Creating the

ultimate in-cab kitchen Eating healthy on the road is possible, with some careful planning BY SONIA STRAFACE

n oversized greasy cheeseburger, crispy French fries and an ice-cold soda – this is the typical meal a truck driver will find along the stretch of any highway. While pulling up to a fast food joint to order a meal may seem like the quickest (and cheapest) way to cure the hunger pangs that come with a lengthy drive, an unbalanced diet has affected truck drivers as a whole and the statistics are hard to ignore. A study published earlier this year from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that nearly three-quarters of truck drivers sampled in America were obese – making obesity twice as prevalent in the trucking industry as in the US working adult population. Research shows those who are obese are at a higher risk for serious health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Obesity has also been linked to increasing the chances of developing cancer and the likeliness of having a stroke. In an effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle, drivers are finding it useful to skip the fast food joints altogether, and revamp their cab into a kitchen where the taste of home can travel with them. Appliances that can be hooked up simply to a cigarette lighter or through an inverter can help ensure meals are balanced and nutritious, and many truckers are taking note of this. Alfy R.E. Meyer, a truck driver for Erb Group of Companies for nearly 12 years says his in-cab appliances have helped him eat better throughout the years. “I have the luxury of being an owner/operator,” said

Meyer, who has been driving trucks professionally for almost four decades. “My truck has a small fridge and mini-freezer, which means I get to do a lot of my meal prep at home before I leave.” Even though on his days off Meyer says he enjoys swimming, he makes the effort to eat healthy on the job because his working conditions are so sedentary. “I have a blender in my truck,” said Meyer. “I have a microwave. I have a coffee maker. I have a toaster oven. And I have a Max Burton stove.” Meyer says he uses his microwave the most during his long treks to nuke home-cooked meals like rotisserie chicken and vegetables that he pre-portions before his shifts. He also likes to bring fresh fruits on the road (ones that can cross the border since most of his driving requires him to go stateside) that he stores in his fridge. “I can never imagine myself going on the road without a microwave,” said Meyer. “My appliances have definitely helped me maintain my healthy lifestyle.” If you drive a day cab like Jason Jannetta, a driver for The Beer Store who works mostly night shifts, having a microwave or slow cooker isn’t possible without an inverter, making healthy eating more difficult. Jannetta, known on Twitter as #FitTrucker (his handle

is @UrbanHauler), instead uses a hand-mixer that plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet to blend up protein shakes throughout his shifts. In addition, Jannetta prepares meals at home and stores them in his 6 Pack Bag, a cooler he swears by (no power required) so he can properly portion his food. He even makes time to work out seven days a week. “I really want to change the image of the big fat trucker,” said Jannetta, who tweets encouraging advice and photos of clean meal ideas to his 1,000 followers multiple times a day. “People need to know it’s easy to obtain this lifestyle,” added Jannetta. “I’m not only trying to reach out to other truckers on Twitter. I want to reach out to the executive of the trucking companies. They all need to get on the bandwagon to help get their drivers healthy.” One such company that is already on the bandwagon to ensuring its employees are healthy is Erb Group. Erb claims most of its long-haul trucks have inverters to provide power to appliances that can be used to heat up or cook prepared meals. Erb Transport was also the winner of the second Truckload Carriers Association’s (TCA) Trucking’s Weight Loss Showdown in 2012. Erb’s 12-person team lost a grand total of 315 pounds, a 12% drop of their combined weight, over the 10-week challenge. In addition, Erb Group is planning to circulate cookbooks to its drivers filled with healthy meal options on the road. Submitted by its employees, the recipes were further analyzed by a group of Masters of Applied Nutrition students at the University of Guelph to gather the nutritional value (fat, fibre, protein content) of the meals. Carolyn Vokes Reibeling the co-ordinator for the corporate health and wellness program at Erb Group says there is a specific section dedicated to meals-on-the-go for drivers using simple appliances they already have in

“ Go get a case of water. Go get grapes. Before you leave, have your food with you.” Mark Perkin their trucks such as slow cookers and microwaves. “We truly do care about our employees,” said David Dietrich, vice-president of human resources at Erb Group. “We want to be able to help our drivers make healthier choices.” The cookbook is currently being designed and Erb Group hopes that it will be ready for distribution this fall. If your truck doesn’t have the equipment necessary to power cooking appliances, and protein shakes aren’t for you, Mark Perkin, a special products mover for Total Transportation Solutions, says he prefers to eat healthy while on the road – no appliances necessary. “I go to Costco before I leave,” says Perkin. “I stack up on grapes, cherry tomatoes, and carrot sticks.” A non-smoker who enjoys snacking, Perkin is fortunate enough that his company pays for his meals while on the road. So while he doesn’t cook much of his own food in-cab, he opts for healthier choices on a menu when he eats out. “I try to stay away from red meat,” notes Perkin. “I eat a lot of grilled chicken and I almost completely cut out gluten and bread (from my diet) altogether.” Whether you use in-cab appliances or not, Perkin says preparation is key in order to become a healthy driver “Go get a case of water. Go get grapes. Before you leave, have your food with you.” ss
