From Driver’s Choice MagazineWelcome to our May/June issue of Driver’s Choice. This has been a strange year for weather. This week at the end of April the weather finally went up to 20 degrees but they are forecasting 5 or 6 for the last weekend and possibly snow. We have had enough of this.

Our 2011 edition of Trucker’s Pages is now in distribution and we have been busy distributing it for the last couple of weeks. If you have not received yours, or would like help finding one, please contact our head office and we will help you out.

APNA Truck Show is fast approaching at the Tradex centre in Abbotsford, BC, on June 11th and 12th. Come and see us at the Show. You can register online for the show through their website www.apnatruckshow.com and beat the lines. Please see pages 14, 24, 25, 34 for more information.

Also our 3rd Annual Saskatoon Truck Show and Shine is now looking for sponsors and assistance as required. It will be held at the Husky Truck Stop once again. We are planning to have a truck and trailer rollover recovery demonstration put on by Brad’s Towing as part of the entertainment.

Knightarcher Insurance from Regina has been putting some helpful information in the last issue and also is planning to write two more articles after this. Please be sure to read these and let us or them know what you think.

Well, that is about it for now. Keep the shiny side up.

Until next time!

Federal and Provincial Acts require truckers to maintain minimum cargo insurance limits according to the GVW of the vehicle.

What many truckers do not realize, is that a cargo policy is a “legal liability” policy. The trucker is a “bailee” who is paid a fee for transporting goods of others, and accordingly the law requires protection for safe delivery of the shipper’s goods.

It is essential that truckers use a “Bill of Lading”, which is a contract in which the trucker agrees to transport the shipper’s goods to a destination. The bill of lading should declare a value of the goods shipped. If a value is not declared, the Federal Motor Carrier Act limits the trucker’s liability to a maximum for $2.00 per pound of freight (regardless of its actual cash value). If the goods are shipped with an “undeclared value”, then the maximum payment the cargo policy will make is $2.00 per pound.

Make sure that you and your drivers are familiar with ”declared value” vs. “unde-clared value” and that you carry adequate limits of cargo insurance to cover the value of the goods you transport. Remember to include an allowance for “debris re-moval” to cover clean up costs, should you be unlucky enough to experience a loss.

A “Freight Charges” endorsement is also available and would reimburse the trucker for costs incurred in getting the load from the point of origin to the location of a loss.

Industry Updates

I was talking to a driver in my office about a pickup he made that went terribly wrong. The more I talked to him the more I realised that he had simply become complacent about a critical aspect of his job. Drivers, especially owner operators’ work long hours with few breaks and lots of pressure. Burnout is common and one of the reasons drivers quit a job and even the industry. Like a marriage that has gone stale the magic had gone out of his relationship with his job. I’m not sure if he needed more reality or more fantasy to rekindle the romance so for all you really experienced guys in the same situation I will try a little of both.

First the reality; This driver went to a customer`s yard and picked up a loaded trailer. When he went to seal the load the trailer door were unlatched. He missed the fact that the trailer has been smashed into the bollard pushing the trailer kick plate up so far the eyes for the door hooks were too high to accept the hooks. When he tried to close the trailer doors they would not close. Two other drivers tried to help him close the trailer and they could not. They did not recognise the amount of damage because he had already moved the trailer. He decided to wrap wire around the doors to keep them closed and drive across town to the carrier’s yard and get a little help from the mechanic to bend the door into place. At no time did he call dispatch or talk to the company whose yard he was in.

By not speaking to anyone and moving the trailer away from the scene of the accident he cost the company over 8000 dollars. He cost himself $2500 and a wasted day.

Now the fantasy; let’s say he was in a bar called “Happy hour” looking to pick up a girl instead of a trailer yard picking up a trailer. First he would scope out the scene. He would get the lay of the land -so to speak -and note the hot chicks, who was with whom, where the dance floor is and where the shortest line-ups for drinks is. He would do all this before even approaching a girl. If our driver had done that instead of just grabbing the “girl” he would have noticed the yellow bol-lards lining the back of the row of parked trailers. He would have noticed that the shunt truck in the yard had a hydraulic fifth wheel. He would have noticed every other trailer in the row had closed back doors except for his. But truckers are eager, victims of their biological needs to hook up and hit the road.

Now would be the time to actually “check out the chicks”. Depending on his taste (and how late it is on Saturday night) he will focus on the special attributes that he can see and find someone that looks good at a distance. When someone looks interesting from a distance he will cross over and strike up a little conversation or perhaps ask her to dance. This provides an opportunity to check out the lady in more detail and see what might be an issue in a longer term relationship. I know drivers get lonely. There is no need to reject a lady for having a clearance light out or needing a little adjustment. However since you are going to down the road with her, you need a bit of a critical eye.

The danger is that you will be seduced by the lure of miles. I need miles. More miles. I only get paid for miles. I gotta grab her and go. Unfortunately, the best time to discover a problem with the relationship is right at the beginning, at the pickup when you are most filled with lust.

It’s time to start thinking with the ‘safety gear between your ears’ and apply the mental brakes. Before you seal the deal and move the trailer, work with what you know. I might be a bit of a prude but not being able to close the door is a show stopper. You can’t start a trip with that kind of problem in the relationship.Think about it. Why do I have the only trailer with the doors popped open? Why can’t I close them? If the door is straight what else is bent? The trailer floor?

How come this bollard is in the way? Why is the bollard so close to the damage? Why is it lower than the damage? Bingo, mental flash bulb. Perhaps the yard jockey with the hydraulic fifth wheel backed the trailer into the bollard while the fifth wheel was raised. It’s time to call your wingman. Get dispatch involved. Get the yard supervisor involved. Look for the yellow paint before the trailer is moved. Fantasy or reality, use whatever works for you to rekindle the romance with your job. Usually fantasy is cheaper. …………………………………………Ken DaveyDirector of Loss Prevention & IT Services|P:604.575.5578 F:604.575.7523
