Espar Heating Sys-tems is a subsidiary of the Eberspaecher
group of companies which dates back to the late 1880s. While its reputation for close attention to detail and technical creativity has sustained the company, Espar owes its surge in sales to innovation, both in product design and policy direction that has enabled the company to respond to larger community needs. It stands at the forefront of environmental change. Espar heating systems, for example, use just one gallon of fuel for every 24 hours of operation, con-suming just a fraction of the fuel volume of an idling engine. The company’s Green initiatives are re-sponsible for the reduc-tion of 44,000 pounds of greenhouse gases per truck each year.
In 1973, Espar Heating Systems was established in North America solely to service the heating needs of the popular Volkswagen (VW) Bug. Since then, the company has grown from a sole service provider into the supplier of the most comprehensive range of independent and com-pact fuel operated air and coolant heater products available in today’s market-place. So it is with this de-monstrative track record of success that the company rightfully lays claim to its “Espar” corporate acronym, representing Excellence in Supporting Product Appli-cations and Reliability. Es-par supplies gas and diesel – fired heaters to the truck, bus, marine, off-highway and military markets.
The success of the com-pany rests partly on the expertise it has developed in the service delivery of di-verse applications to these markets. Equally vital to the company’s growth across North America is its cap-acity to embrace and incor-porate customer feedback into product design and application. Indeed, innov-ation is encouraged and
supported by public par-ticipation in the develop-ment of product excellence. “Our customers come to us with suggestions to modify products for maximum benefit. What we do is incorporate ideas brought to us by our stakeholders and develop more refined heating systems,” explains John Dennehy, Espar’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications.
Chief among examples of Espar’s skill in refining existing technology to meet rising customer demand is the recent introduction of the HYbernator, a com-pact Hydronic 5 complete heating system into the marketplace. Unique to dir-ect fuel operating systems, the HYbernator meets three crucial concerns: it preheats the engine, pre-heats the cab and bunk, and notably preheats the fuel. This latest innovation grew from the company’s objective to address a long-standing problem in the commercial transportation industry.
Engines in Northern cli-mates are beset by fuel gelling problems. When temperatures drop to sub-zero levels, fuel gets cold, thickens, and makes start-ing difficult. Over time, further engine damage re-sults, particularly to piston rings and rockers. More frequent oil changes are also necessary when exposure to cold temper-
ature start-ups continue. Espar rose to the challenge of fuel gelling by modify-ing the Hydronic 5 coolant engine pre-heater, one of several Hydronic models that pre-heats the pas-senger compartment and engine. “What we did,” John explains, “is inte-grate the Hydronic 5 into a wonderful, self-contained, and easy-to-install system
which, in addition to heat-ing the engine and cab, now pre-heats the fuel so that the engine is ready for combustion. The fuel is warm, the gelling is elimin-ated, and the problems typ-ically associated with cold starts are eliminated.”
The results of this year-long research and development in-vestment led to the manufacture of the HYbernator, a prod-uct which, even with
additional compon-ents, minimizes
amperage out-put and cost
increas-
es, while presenting a var-iety of configurations that meet individual demands. The only company capable of providing this technology today, Espar is attracting the attention of major industry participants. “We are con-verting entire fleets which recognize the operational and cost benefits that rise from implementing the HYbernator system,” says
John Dennehy.Standing alongside in-
novations for commer-cial Class 8 trucks is Espar’s commitment to improving heat-ing technologies in all sectors of transpor-tation. The Hydronic series of heaters have BTU capacities which range from 17,500 to 120,000 – suf-ficient strength to pre-heat en-gines for every-
thing from
quarry dump trucks to fel-ler bunchers stationed in isolated and frigid north-ern climates. Conveniently equipped with timers, these pre-heaters can be activat-ed from many kilometres away in time for engines to be heated before starting or pre-set like an alarm clock to come on at a designated time.
This pro-active response to environmental challen-ges supported by innova-tive Green technologies has gained the attention and interest of environ-mental regulatory bodies on both sides of the Canada U.S. border. Espar was the first to have its heating systems approved by the California Air Resource Board (CARB), a leader in environmental policy de-velopment. Thanks to sus-tained research and prod-uct development, Espar demonstrated that emis-sions of carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and nitrous
oxide fell way below CARB standards. “It was a long and ardu-ous task” says John Dennehy of the rigid
standards of acceptance imposed by CARB, “but we knew it had to be done and we knew that we could confidently meet the im-posed specifications.”
These demonstra-tive results have also been lauded by additional environmental leaders advo-
cating for
cleaner and more fuel ef-ficient transportation fuel options. Espar products have become verified tech-nologies for both the Amer-ican-based EPA SmartWay Program and Canada’s FleetSmart Program. In addition, a large network of suppliers feature their heating systems. Premier distributors, Thermo King and Cummins, are just two of the 450 dealers across North America which proudly promote their products, as well as nearly all OEM truck dealers and independents continent wide. As John Dennehy confirms, “even in down markets, many suppliers recognize opportunities with our products.”
The centrepiece of Espar’s resourceful talent pool and vast distribution network is at its 100,000 square- foot facility in Mississauga, On-tario. Here, production spe-cialists assemble compon-ents while designers and engineers adapt German-manufactured parts to the North American market. Technical experts are on hand to answer questions and address concerns.
A tireless leader in the manufacture of efficient heating systems that re-duce costs and emissions, John Dennehy envisions refined Espar technologies responding to rising de-mand both in the trucking industry and in all trans-portation sectors. “We are looking at advancing our relationships with repre-sentatives in all special-ized transportation areas,” he says. State-of-the-art heating systems, like the HYbernator... compact, stand to be modified and integrated into vehicles in municipalities, in the construction, marine, and military sectors, and wher-ever the need for efficient, cost-effective fuel operated air and coolant heaters rises.

Class 8 trucks are one of the main-stays of the North
American economy, and as a significant economic player it has been the tar-get of sweeping changes. Perhaps for good rea-son! Only 11 percent of energy in each litre of fuel goes directly into mov-ing a truck; the rest is consigned to waste in the thermodynamic effects in the engine, idling, trans-mission drag and other causes. Regulatory bodies continue to earmark the trucking industry both as an example and agent for change through legislation that reduces the industry’s carbon footprint. It used to be that operators would run vehicle engines over-night to generate enough heat for a good night’s sleep. In doing so, the engines would typically consume one gallon of diesel fuel per hour, cost-ing about $40 in fuel, as well as significantly im-pacting the quality of air through excessive carbon emissions. That has large-ly changed, and today anti-idling or low idling legislation has become the norm, spearheaded by regulatory enforcers like the California Air Resour-ces Board (CARB). Drastic reductions in toxic emis-sions affect all manner of truck operations, includ-ing heating systems.
Various heating systems, both fuel operated air and coolant heaters as well as auxiliary power units (APUs), are available, many promising no-idling functions which conform to standards imposed by CARB and the EPA Smart-Way Program and Can-ada’s Natural Resource Fleet Smart Program, or-
ganizations that promote energy efficient practices which reduce fuel con-sumption and emissions.
The truck heating and cooling solutions sup-plier, Webasto, has re-ceived high marks in the industry for its range of heaters. In 2008 it was awarded the Frost & Sul-livan Anti-Idling Systems Technology Innovation Leadership of the Year Award which highlights excellence in emission reducing technologies. For five years the company has consistently been voted as the best brand of air conditioning and heating systems for commercial vehicles by several Ger-man magazines. Webasto offers several air and cool-ant heaters for truck fleets and owner operators. Fea-tured among its air heat-ers are the Tandem 717, the Air Top 3500 and the Air Top ST. The Air Top models provide from 10 to 20 hours of direct heat on a single gallon of diesel fuel, have low amperage draw, operate quietly for minimal disturbance, and are easily installed thanks to their compact size. All three models promise suf-ficient “engine off” heat with the Tandem 717 pro-viding engine pre-heat.
Webasto’s coolant heat-ers heat the coolant in the engine, eliminating cold starts, reducing wear and tear, and maintaining the engine’s temperature dur-ing use. The TSL 17 model preheats engines in Class 3 to 8 vehicles and safely preheats the engine within two hours. Designed for Class 7 and 8 trucks, the Thermo 90 S provides fast engine preheat as well as sleeper heat and reportedly uses less fuel than its competitors. The DBW 2010 Coolant Heater, known as the powerhouse, preheats large truck en-gines quicker than other auxiliary heaters. Webasto heaters are eligible for Canada’s FleetSmart Re-bate Program and US-EPA/SmartWay funding
opportunities.Both air and coolant
heating systems are a wel-come alternative to former expensive and polluting practices of idling trucks all night to keep driver and engine warm. Cool-ant and air heaters serve different functions. Air heaters usually installed under the bunk draw fuel from the diesel tank. This burns in a heat exchanger which then cir-culates air in the com-partment unt i l i t r e a c h -e s t h e d e s i g -n a t e d temper-a t u r e . H e a t l e v e l s are then regulated by a thermostat. Today’s heat-ers are silent and relatively inexpensive. Suppliers say a return on invest-ment can be secured in three to nine months and can last several years de-pending on application. Off road vehicles subject to harsh environments, for example, typically last two to five years; heaters in well maintained on road trucks last longer.
Conversely, coolant heat-ers preheat engines and keep them warm in frigid temperatures. Experts cau-tion that trucks running in cold climates without the benefit of coolant heaters will see an escalated de-terioration of the vehicle. In the absence of engine heaters, more power is drawn from batteries and the continuous friction of starting vehicles in cold weather accelerates wear and tear. Coolant heaters, considered more elaborate and therefore more expen-sive, can also heat cabs as long as temperatures are not too severe. Heating manufacturers also sug-gest minimal maintenance procedures during the off-season months. Rec-ommendations include undoing glow pins and cleaning filters.
I n a w o r l d of fierce competi-
tion, it may be surprising
to hear that two heating sys-
tems manufacturers dom-inate the lion’s share of the market, both domestic-ally and internationally. The aforementioned We-basto is the first; in close second is Espar Heating Systems, a subsidiary of the Eberspaecher group of companies. Both firms are based in Germany and have been operating over 100 years. Though there is competition from Canadian, East European, and Asian producers, the German companies’ repu-tation for quality, service, and fair pricing outpaces the others.
Taking cues for prod-uct development from its customers, Espar also enjoys a reputation for innovation. Among its Hydronic series of heat-ers with a wide range of BTU capacity, is its re-cent introduction into the marketplace of the Hyber-nator.compact Hydronic 5. The Hybernator, the com-pany says, is a solution to fuel jellying problems for vehicles operating in cold conditions. Espar’s VP of Marketing and Communi-cations, John Dennehy, sums up the product’s multiple benefits: “This easy-to-install unit heats the engine, heats the cab,
and now pre-heats the fuel so that the engine is ready for combustion. The fuel is warm, the jellying is elim-inated, and the problems typically associated with cold starts are solved.” The Hybernator is one of several products in the in-dustry that addresses fuel jellying problems. Espar also lays claim to its status as the first to have its heat-ing systems approved by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) by demon-strating that emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and formaldehyde fall far below CARB stan-dards.
Indeed, the efforts of companies to produce car-bon free products are laud-able, but may fall short of significantly impacting the environment in light of a potpourri of legislation that fails to consistently tackle greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
Gary Wilson is president of Wilson Instruments. The Campbellford-based company is a supplier and service representative for Webasto, Espar and the popular Sleeping Well Air Conditioners. His view of environmental initiatives is dimmed by what he says are obvious short-comings. “There are no broad-based federal, prov-incial, or state laws that are consistently enforced across North America,” he says. “It’s wonderful to talk about going green,” he continues, “but laws
need to be the same in all jurisdictions and wide-ly enforced.” Instead, a patchwork of anti-idling rules is crafted, not by provinces or national gov-ernments, but by munici-palities. Each may or may not have anti-idling rules, and each may or may not enforce those policies. Drivers can still run en-gines all night in regions with weak enforcement practices. Wilson suggests that North America set its sights on Europe as an example of leadership in the widespread develop-ment and application of anti-idling legislation.
A final word about APUs: Fuel operated heating sys-tems have had competi-tion from the auxiliary power unit (APU) market for years. These units have traditionally been popular for their ability to generate heat and air conditioning. But experts predict a lim-ited lifespan. “We believe APUs are antiquated and will go away within the next few years because they are still running on small engines which leave a carbon footprint,” muses Espar’s John Dennehy. Others agree. “There is definitely as downturn in the APU market,” says Gary Wilson, of Wilson Instruments, noting sev-eral disadvantages. “Their biggest drawbacks are weight and maintenance. They are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain.”V

Heating Systems: Reliable, Cost Effective & Green
As a leader on the world’s markets, Webasto develops
and produces two kinds of parking heaters. They are air and water based systems which are used for a wide range of func-tionalities and heating capacities.
Webasto Air Top Air Heaters are simple and compact and designed for the fast and economical heating of driver’s cabs and interiors as well as for the regulation of temper-atures in cargo holds.
Air Top 2000 ST is a sim-ple and affordable solu-tion. The air heater can be applied for various areas of operation. Its compact design makes installation in the cabin interior or the outside of the vehicle simple and quick.
The heater operates si-lently and quickly warms the air inside the vehicle as well as the cargo area
and constantly maintains the individually desired temperature. Depending on need of use, the heater can be switched from recirculating the air from the inside of the vehicle, or draw in fresh air. It is low-maintenance and service-friendly as well a s l o w in cost, there-f o r e c r e -a t i n g a solid argument for the professional user.
Thermo Water Heaters are twice as economical. The engine and interior of a parked vehicle are pre-heated with its own heat exchanger and fan, for lower fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions. These models are also designed to heat service water and the cargo as well as occupied areas of
large utility vehicles.The Thermo 90 ST saves
fuel while sparing the engine. The versatile and high-performance water heater warms driver and sleep cabins to the perfect temperatures and pre-heats mid to large-sized engines. Coldstarts are
thereby prevented and in-crease t h e oper-ation-
al l i fe e x p e c t -
ancy of the engine. The water heaters pro-
vide comfortable warmth during the prescribed rest-ing periods. This allows for maximum relaxation and recuperation of the driver, clearly increased the safety of the driver and the cargo.
Idling is eliminated, which reduces costs, CO2 emissions, and the con-
sumption of fuel. Through this the environment is spared.
Product benefits include pre-heating the engine and cabin interior, de-velopment with consider-ation to the most current OEM requirements and automotive standards, qual i ty guarantee by TS16949, original equip-ment or aftermarket in-stallation possible, terms of delivery individual-ly customized for each vehicle, high operational readiness of the vehicles even at low temperatures, reduced fuel consumption by avoiding idling, being able to diagnose which part of the unit is in need of service or maintenance which includes a world-wide service network.
The DBW 2010 / 2016 of-fers engine protection, its environmentally friendly as well as cost efficient. Through its modern tech-
nology and robust design, the DBW 2010 / 2016 offers optimal conditions for heating mid-sized to large-sized engines. It operates on a high per-formance level, yielding up to 16 kW.
Webasto provides indi-vidual solutions for pre-heating large engines as well as for w a r m i n g up oper-a t o r s ´ c a b i n s a n d c a r g o areas in v a r i o u s vehicles.
C o l d -starts are p r e v e n t e d , since the water heaters simultaneously warm up the cabin and the engine. The decrease in costs by reduced fuel consump-tion and the prevention of idling increase the
economical use of the vehicle. As a result, the environment is spared through the reduction of harmful gases into the atmosphere.

Winter heating season is right a r o u n d t h e
corner and over the next few weeks, most of us will begin turning on our heating systems to break the morning chill within our homes and vehicles. This article is designed to help you do a quick and easy safety inspection of your home to prepare for starting the gas fur-nace or heating system for first time of the season. Although most of these safety tips apply to our homes, some of the tips can apply to our vehicles as well.
HeATING SySTem
SAFeTy PreCAUTIoNS
One of the first things you must check each time you prepare your heat-ing season for the winter ahead, are your homes safety systems! This in-cludes testing the power supply in your Carbon Monoxide Detector, test-ing your Smoke and Fire Detectors, checking the condition and charge of all Fire Extinguishers, clear-ing all combustible ma-terials away from furnaces and heating systems
and having your annual family meeting to discuss your Fire Drill Plans.
These five simple steps will make sure your home and family is prepared in case of a heating system issue or fire emergency.
Basic Furnace Heating System Inspection
After you’re sure your home is prepared for any safety hazards that may arise, perform a quick
walk-around inspection of your home heating sys-tem. As you look at the unit, you are simply trying to discover obvious issues that should be addressed before the initial start-up.
Make sure a one metre area around the furnace is clear of all clutter and combustibles. Look for loose side panels or cracks in the metal. Check to see if there any water or rust streaks on the top or sides. Gently grab the flue and ducting to see if it is loose or broken. Look for loose or frayed wires that may be visible. Finally, if the furnace filter has not been replaced in the last 15 days, remove and replace the filter after you write the date onto the edge.
STArT THe GAS
FUrNACe HeATING
SySTem
Initial start-up is best done on a day when you don’t actually need the heat. This will give you
lots of time to repair or correct anything that may be needed. First of all turn your thermostat to the Heat position. Then set the temperature to a setting that is higher than the current temperature in the home. Next listen for the furnace to start up within 30-seconds to 3 minutes.
Be aware that when the heating system starts for the first time of the sea-son, you are likely going to hear small crackling sounds from the system and duct expanding and contracting, and may also smell a foul odor for the first few hours. This is generally soot, dust or cobwebs that need be cleaned off from the long summer period when the heating system was not being used.
WHAT IF THe FUrNACe
WoN’T STArT?
If your heating system doesn’t start within a few
moments, you may need to call your local HVAC company to service the equipment or get your furnace manual and at-tempt some of the simple troubleshooting steps they may suggest for your specific model.
As always, if you ever smell natural gas, open the windows and leave the home immediately. Never turn on or off any electrical items, and call 911 and your local utility company to check the home immediately!
Drive safe, think positive and be prosperous.

THe SAFeTy TIP ADvISer
Is Your Heating System Ready for the Winter?
by roberT D. SCHePer
I always thought De-troit’s answer to the environmentalists in
the 1970’s was, to say the least, bold. Basically, pump air into the exhaust system so the parts per million would register low enough to qualify as “environmentally clean”. It was a huge farce! It was the equivalent to flipping legislators the bird. Ever since then good mechan-ics ripped the garbage out so owners could enjoy better fuel economy and (ironically) cleaner air. Unfortunately for oper-ators today, things aren’t as simple. Global warming legislation is firing a much more diabolical arsenal than a removable pump
and hose.Al Gore’s hockey stick
graph screams a global crisis that places you, the operator, directly in the crosshairs. Because of “GHG”, not only have you had to endure lower fuel economy but also higher maintenance issues as well, but this is only the “start” of your projected woes.
Last month’s article ex-plored the proposed car-bon credit system.
“If the world collect-ively signs on to this sys-tem it creates a house of global power not seen since the Roman Em-pire. Each country must voluntarily relinquish its economic sovereignty to a bureaucratic “behind the scenes” interpretation of value (carbon debit/cred-its). It would be a non-democratically elected body with near absolute economic power and no public accountability.”
The real question is: should we trust Mr. Gore
and the EPA? Trust must be earned by the demon-stration of strong integrity. Do they truly have the global climate’s best inter-est at heart? Are they self sacrificing with no hidden conflict of interest? Oops! I guess Mr. Gore’s tie to the Climate Exchange kind of exposes a multi-billion dollar conflict of interest.
But how can that be? Al Gore wouldn’t throw him-self behind something like fraud to gain power, would he? Of course not! He’s a politician! We all know politicians don’t deceive! Besides, after he lost the election for President he clearly stated he had no intentions of re-entering politics and proved it by growing a beard. There are obviously no more aspirations of power or influence! Money doesn’t motivate him, owning those private jets are a necessity!
Canadians still remem-ber the sponsorsh ip
scandal where a political party basically doled out millions directly to party supporters. It’s what hap-pens when legislators are arrogant, lazy and are not held accountable for their actions. It rightfully sparked outrage in the moral minds of citizens because it was public money… ours! Let’s re-member (at least for now) our economy is still OURS! Will we stand by and let our politicians just give it away? I sure hope not!
The trucking industry will be one of the first financial casualties and operators are on the front
lines in the trucking indus-try. If you are an operator and are wondering what to do, I’m left with really only two suggestions.
Prepare for the worst and fight for the best. Reduce your exposure to financial risk by reducing your ex-posure to environmental maintenance and artificial fuel economies (pollution control devices). Tell the trucking company you are working for that you will not play the environ-mental game, upgrading is just too risky! Make the tough business decisions that benefit your financial security and your bottom
line… period!Nobody knows the fu-
ture, but if we all stand for the truth, at least we will have our honor.

Tired of having drugs not covered by a health care plan
and increasing your tax-able income? The solution is a Personal Health Service Plan for individuals or sole proprietors or a Health & Welfare Trust for incorpor-ated companies. It’s simple, easy and costs you nothing to set up.
Health Care Spending accounts have been avail-able for many years. Within larger companies, these were known as flexible benefits, a combination of both insurance and a sav-ings component that would allow the employee to use the funds in the account to meet other expenses not covered by the plan such as prescription glasses or contact lenses, specialists’ payments that exceeded the $500 limit in the con-tract such as chiropractor, physiotherapist, counsel-ing, etc.
They have gained popu-larity as a result of a wider range of available health-care services. The plans were developed to meet the needs of group mem-bers, small business owners and incorporated compan-ies. The Personal Services Health Plan was developed for sole proprietors and the Health and Welfare Trust for incorporated companies.
These plans allow busi-ness owners to deduct these expenses at 100% plus the nominal adminis-trative expense associated to process your claim. The plans are approved by Can-ada Revenue Agency; offer you the ability to write off prescription drugs, dental, cosmetic dental, specialist services, home care and much more. The minimum
monthly contribution is only $50.00; the annual deposit $600.00. The account helps you save on average of 9.1% of income tax based on $32,000 of net taxable. The higher your taxable income the more savings you are realizing on your taxes.
Without a health care spending account, incurring a $2,000 expense not cov-ered by an insurance plan would increase your tax payable for 2010 by $401.00. (Taxation on $32,000 = $4, 406 and taxation on $34,000 = $4,807). In the absence of it, you would actually pay 8-24% interest by financing the expense on a credit card or credit line in hopes of paying it one day.
“At this time, over 60,000
individuals utilize this form of benefit style tradition-ally available only to very large groups,” says Don Hopkins of Benecaid. Many employers and individuals are concerned with the increased cost of insurance year after year and are look-ing for solutions to save premium dollars to apply to other critical components of health care to the average Canadian associated with rising health care costs. Implementation of our program merely provides both the employee and the employer the flexibility of choosing their priorities instead of exhausting a plan and constantly battling the advisor on increased costs of insurance.

The calendar reads “September” and I still had not used
my water skis! Hard to believe, but summer is over and with the new fall season comes optimism for the cost of fuel or so it seems.
According to Fuel Ad-visor Bob Van der Valk it looks like we are in for a period of lower fuel costs. Bob has been in the fuel business for decades and over the years we have come to rely on his insight. He writes, “It stands to reason that with demand for fuel down worldwide and refineries switching to the winter-grade blends of gasoline, prices will be going down once again this winter. Prices will be heading down right after Labour Day towards the $2 per gallon mark in the U.S. and $.85 per litre in Canada by Thanksgiv-ing. ”We have heard this stuff before and have been left paying more to fill up, so we challenged the gas guy on his prediction and he is holding his ground.
He replied by saying, “I am staying with my pre-diction both for fuel prices in the U.S. and Canada, with the price of crude oil leading the downward trend by the end of this year. I used M.J. Ervin’s fuel pricing statistics to make my “call” on the average prices for Can-ada. They definitely reflect seasonality in the price of gasoline and diesel.”
He goes on to write, “Crude oil prices could flatten further over the next few months, a pro-cess which has already started, with more down-ward pressure anticipated. Prices will remain driven by crude oil with weak
demand for diesel fuel and inventories high as it has been in the first half of this year. More refin-ing capacity is coming on line with cargoes of gaso-line and diesel fuel im-ported from the Alliance refinery complex in India hitting the West Coast this month.” If you want to reach Bob he is only a click away at: [email protected].
We hope Low Price Pre-dictions are correct, but you can GUARANTEE your fuel costs will drop using 4Refuel’s FMO.
Even if the predictions are incorrect and for some reason, like a natural dis-aster or a refinery debacle in your region, fuel prices explode, you can protect yourself with 4Refuels, Fuel Management Online. In a nutshell you get a soft-ware suite that shows you exactly where each drop of fuel is going so you can measure and manage your fuel investment better.
FMO is the only system that lets you access all your fuel records in one place and in one format. In addition Fuel Management Online can also help you track the fuel economy of all your equipment - right down to each unit. For the first time fuel managers have an easy desk-top tool that makes it easy to track fuel costs, measure equip-ment performance and manage your operations at peak efficiency.
FMO is a time saving tool as well and after all time is money. If you are still stuck in your office reconciling fuel bills, you are wasting a lot of time that could be spent do-ing other, higher lever-aged activities, like project management. FMO has released a new Approval Tool this summer that makes processing invoi-ces faster and easier by eliminating the time you waste on document sort-ing, printing, scanning, faxing and filing. The FMO Approval Tool allows you to do all that online. Now you can review, query,
approve and process in-voices all within FMO. It is also exportable and allows a number of users. This means if you are managing a number of projects or regions and re-quire input from others in your management team, you can have them on the FMO system too.
NO charge for additional FMO users. No cost for additional training. No cost for additional sup-port!
The FMO Approva l Tool supports multiple approval levels you can sign up as many users as you need to manage your fleet, projects and regional equipment usage. You won’t be surprised by extra costs to access the software, or for training or for support by 4Refuel’s technology team. When you sign up your company signs up and everyone has access!
Now if Van der Valk’s fuel predictions are true and the price you pay at the pump goes down this fall, great…AND if you are enjoying the benefits of using FMO you could expect a double bonus this fall. If prices move up, FMO protects you.
Either way you will enjoy lower fuel costs this fall, guaranteed!
Jack Lee is President/CEO of 4Refuel Inc., the largest
onsite fuel management company in Canada and a global leader in technol-ogy designed to help busi-nesses reduce their fuel
expenses. Got a question about fuel? Ask the fuel expert by emailing Jack at [email protected]

Willcox Station agents working at the Highway
90 checkpoint discovered the heroin Wednesday after a canine team alerted them to a vehicle being inspected. The occupants of the vehicle were ar-rested. Agents say the heroin has an estimated value of $10,000. In the second incident Wednes-day, agents assigned to the Nogales Station were patrolling east of Nogales when they spotted several people carrying bundles. Two people were appre-
hended and agents say the 11 seized bundles of mari-juana have an estimated value of $400,000.
CBP Officers and Border Patrol Agents at Browns-ville Port of Entry Seize $277,405 During Outbound Enforcement Operation
U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection officers conducting outbound en-forcement operations at Brownsville, Texas Port of Entry seized $277,405 in bulk U.S. currency. The driver, a 35-year-old Mex-ican citizen from Donna, Texas was referred for fur-ther inspection. A search of the Ford resulted in the discovery of 10 packages of bulk U.S. currency hidden within the vehicle.
CBP U.S. Border Patrol Discovers Smuggling Tun-nel
Border patrol agents lo-cated a tunnel just east of the Tucson, Arizona port of entry. After seizing 665 pounds of marijuana on Thursday, agents de-termined that the mari-juana had been smuggled through a tunnel. Agents entered an existing storm drain east of the port and discovered an illicit tunnel paralleling the drainage system.
CBSA Detector Dog Wins National Police Dog Trials
Holly, a four-year-old Labrador Retriever won first place in the detection competition and competed
against other teams from police agencies and cor-rectional services from across Canada. Holly was outstanding in her area of specialization: contraband detection. Holly was the lone CBSA competitor and this was her second year appearing at the CPCA Trials. There are 70 CBSA detector dog teams stra-tegically located across Canada, serving both travellers and commercial operations. Detector dog
Holly began her career in 2007 and is based in southern Saskatchewan. She has dozens of narcot-ics and firearm seizures to her credit. In fact, during her first week on the job, Holly was instrumental in detecting a handgun hidden in the console of a vehicle. The CBSA uses dogs like Holly to detect the presence of prohibited or regulated substances and to pinpoint their loca-tions. They help protect
Canada’s health and safety by detecting illegal narcot-ics, firearms and currency. They also help prevent the spread of harmful pests and diseases by detecting illegal plants, fruits, meat and animals.

Red Deer College and the Transpor-tation Training and
Development Association (TT&DA)are preparing a funding request for the offering of the Professional
Driver Certificate Program from Alberta Advanced Education and Technol-ogy, Alberta Transporta-tion, Alberta Employment and Immigration and from Alberta Aboriginal Af-fairs.
The funding request is similar to that which funds other post-secondary pro-grams such as appren-ticeships and existing certificate and diploma programs offered by col-leges in Alberta. The fund-ing request is based on the need to offer a driver training program of the highest standards at a cost to students equivalent to that of other college pro-grams. While administered by Red Deer College, the program will be offered by qualified Alberta driving schools. A “Professional Driver” endorsement to the Class One license will be available to successful students.
The program will have the same high standards established in the last pi-lot. The new program will be more like an “appren-ticeship” program. After completing the classroom and driver training to a Class One level, the stu-dents will be hired under a co-op program model. This model, used in many engineering programs, has the following features. Red
Deer College will assist stu-dents to find employment, the students will possess a Class One license and will be employees, the students will undergo the employer orientation as required by the employer, supervision will be more flexible and require less time with a coach-mentor in the cab, the student will do productive work and Red Deer College will ver-ify that the standards are met over a twelve week period. Upon completion of all requirements and recommendation by the employer, Red Deer Col-lege will provide a gradua-tion certificate which the student can then use to obtain the “Professional Driver” endorsement.
The province has re-quested that TT&DA show strong carrier support. TT&DA is therefore asking Alberta carriers to show support in the form of a letter or note indicating support of government funding of driver training and that you would hire the co-op students.
Send letters by e-mail to [email protected] or to TT&DA, Box 1810, Blackfalds, Alberta T0M 0J0

Sometimes we are given decisions in court that we don’t
agree with. These deci-sions can be appealed, but only for specific reasons or grounds. We cannot appeal a decision just be-cause we don’t like it. It is usually based upon some error in law by the Justice of the Peace. You may think that it would be a rare event for a Justice to have committed a legal
error, but the law is often complex and there are times when a decision should be appealed.
The number one reason that clients do not ap-peal wrongful decisions is costs. Appeals are some-what complex and labour intensive, thereby increas-ing the cost of having a representative appeal the decision. While the cost of your trial may have been as low as $250.00, the cost of an appeal may
rise from $600.00 to up-wards of $1000.00. This makes some clients decide to simply accept a bad decision, including the associated fines, demerit points, and CVOR points. On the other hand, the prosecution, whether it is the municipality, or the Ministry of Transportation, is not hindered by cost. If a decision goes against the prosecution, and the prosecution is confident that the Justice has com-
mitted an error in law, they can appeal that decision without concern about whether or not it is afford-able at the time. When the prosecution appeals a de-cision, the defendant is left in the position of having to decide whether or not to contest the appeal. If the defendant does not contest the appeal, it is very likely that the appeal will be suc-cessful and the dismissal of the defendant’s charge will be reversed, or perhaps be
sent back for a new trial. In that case, the defendant will need to contest the charge all over again and will be disadvantaged by a decision from a higher court that essentially sup-ports the prosecution’s arguments.
Although it may be costly to appeal a bad decision, or contest an appeal by the prosecution, not doing it could end up being even more costly.
In the end, seek legal ad-
vice and if you are advised to appeal or to contest the appeal of the prosecution, it is worth considering, even when faced with the additional costs associated with the appeal.

Ottawa, ON - Oct. 12, 2010 - The Canadian Truck-
ing Alliance (CTA) has joined the British Columbia Trucking Association’s (BCTA) campaign to iden-tify, catch and convict the persons who beat and left a veteran truck driver for
dead after he stopped to offer assistance to what he thought was a stranded motorist on the side of the Yellowhead Highway on Friday, September 24.
The truck driver, Alex Fraser, 67, from Vernon, BC, a veteran of 45 years in the business, required
major reconstructive sur-gery to repair his face and eye socket following the beating and has been so traumatized he has de-cided to leave the industry. A news story about this incident can be found by going to www.kamloop-snews.ca/20100928.
In response to this terrible incident BCTA president, Paul Landry, recently an-nounced that BCTA had posted a $10,000 reward to help bring the individuals who attacked Mr. Fraser to justice.
In addition, BCTA has es-tablished a special fund for
Mr. Fraser and his family as he recuperates from his ordeal which trucking companies and drivers can donate to.
The CTA board of direc-tors unanimously agreed to match BCTA’s contri-bution by contributing another $10,000 to the
reward for the arrest and conviction of the people involved.
The CTA board is also encouraging carr iers and drivers to consider a contribution to the BCTA fund set up for the Fraser family. No donation is too small.V

Constable Ken Wright from Peel Regional Police gave an awesome presen-tation on Accident Recon-struction. He explained that only accidents of $1,000 damage or more need to be reported and all identification should be supplied to/from each
driver including a drivers licence, vehicle ownership and insurance coverage. It was noted that most accidents are caused by driver error. Speed topped the list of causes, while inattentiveness came in at a close second followed by alcohol and surpris-ingly cell phone usage, however, this doesn’t mean that cell phones are okay to use while driving.
Ken further explained the different methods that are used to re-enact acci-dents to determine which vehicle was the cause of the accident and what charges will be laid. After he finished the crowd of over 100 kept him busy with many questions to answer.
The annual golf tourna-ment went well with 238 players having fun on the green with 236 of them

October 7 – David Clime, President of Ontario Truck
Centres, Greg Grabinsky, Vocational Sales Man-ager and Ghislain Poliseno from Paccar presented the new Peterbilt “Green” Hybrid Truck.
One of Peterbilt’s most popular models is the Model 386 Hybrid Elec-tric (HE) which combines aerodynamic styling and the versatility of a detach-able sleeper with fuel-effi-cient hybrid technology for on-highway and bottom line performance.
When the idle reduc-tion mode is active, en-gine operation is limited
to battery charging, an automatically control led process that takes ap-proximately five minutes per hour to fully charge the system. The Model 386 HE provides a technological edge to aerodynamic effi-ciency for enhanced driver productivity and owner profitability.
For more information about their hybrid tech-nology contact Ghislain Poliseno at 866.204.8570 or 514.260.4995, by email at [email protected] or visit www.nitesystem.com.
Next month nominations will be held for all Execu-tive Committee positions, so start thinking about
who would be a good candidate for one of these positions.
A different location has been suggested for future meetings of the Belleville Chapter. It was suggested that The Masonic Hall be used for the December meeting so everyone can see what the atmosphere is like as well as taste the food which will be catered by a local women’s group.
Being a member of the A.T.S.S.A. is a great way to learn more about the trucking industry. This very valuable organiza-tion is made up of diesel mechanics, fleet managers as well as members of
the manufacturing sector, repair shops and media. Members come together to enjoy dinner and dis-cuss common issues in the industry. I strongly urge everyone to become a member and attend as many meetings as pos-sible. The time you spend and the people you meet, is well worth becoming a member!
Each year the ATSSA looks to the trucking com-munity for sponsors for their monthly meetings. This is an excellent op-portunity to have a captive audience to demonstrate your products as well as make some great friends. Anyone wishing to be-
come a sponsor please contact Ray Wellman at [email protected].
The next meeting will be
on November 4th, so bring a friend or colleague to enjoy a tasty meal, good company and informative presentations.V

ELYRIA, Ohio – Oc-tober 1, 2010 – The next generation
collision-mitigation sys-tem launched last year by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC is now the most widely avail-able in the commercial vehicle industry. Peterbilt® Motors Company officially announced production availability of Bendix® Wingman® ACB – Active Cruise with Braking as an option for its heavy-duty truck models. Peterbilt is the latest OEM to make available the technol-ogy by Bendix, a leader in the development and manufacture of innovative active safety and braking system technologies for commercial vehicles.
Bendix Wingman ACB is designed to deliver driver-friendly, forward colli-sion warning and miti-gation using full vehicle and braking system inte-gration. The technology delivers warnings and proactive interventions to help drivers avoid colli-sions. Peterbilt announced its intent to offer Bendix
Wingman ACB this year at the 2010 Mid-America Trucking Show. In July, Bendix Wingman ACB became available for im-mediate order on a range of Peterbilt models, in-cluding the flagship Model 587, with delivery begin-ning in the fourth quarter of 2010.
“Peterbilt is committed to highway safety, and our choice of Bendix Wing-man ACB demonstrates that commitment,” said Landon Sproull, Peterbilt Chief Engineer. “Peterbilt customers expect the best in performance and qual-ity. We can trust Bendix to help us deliver it.”
Using a radar sensor mounted to the front of the vehicle, the system assists the driver to main-tain a set following dis-tance between the truck and the forward vehicle. With cruise control on and speed set, Wingman ACB will warn and provide active interventions – re-ducing throttle, engaging the engine retarder and, if necessary, automatically applying the foundation
brakes to help the driver maintain the intended following distance. When cruise control is not en-gaged, the driver still re-ceives the benefit of fol-lowing distance alerts to let him/her know if he/she is getting too close to the forward vehicle. This can be especially help-ful during those condi-tions when cruise control should not be used, such as inclement weather and heavy traffic.
“Bendix is thrilled to be partnering with Peterbilt to deliver this exciting safety technology to their customers,” said Fred An-dersky, Bendix Director of Marketing - Controls. “It’s another milestone for Bendix in helping to keep our roadways safer and fleet operating margins strong.”
Bendix® Wingman® ACB is built upon the Bendix® ESP® Electronic Stabil-ity Program, full-stability technology that helps driv-ers mitigate rollover and loss-of-control situations on dry, wet, and snow- and ice-covered roadways.
Citing data reporting over 11,000 rollovers and 4,000 jackknife crashes that oc-curred on our nation’s highways in 2008, Ander-sky noted there is more to a truck crash than just a collision. He added that, “Often, rollovers start with a loss of control – a situa-tion which Bendix ESP can help mitigate.”
Wingman ACB includes “always on” driver warn-ings and Stationary Ob-ject Alerts, and is also upgradable for future ad-vancements, such as auto-matic emergency braking interventions, which help drivers mitigate collisions when cruise control is not on and set. The Stationary Object Alert system pro-vides always-on audible and visual alerts to the driver when the vehicle is approaching a stationary metallic object, such as a car, steel drum, or other road obstruction block-ing the lane. The alert is given to the driver up to 3.0 seconds before a po-tential impact, enabling the driver to appropriately respond to the impending
threat. The warning, like all the alerts available with the system, is always on. In today’s commercial vehicle market, Wingman ACB is the only collision-mitigation system using brake interventions to offer stationary object alerts. The system is avail-able on highway vehicles from Peterbilt, Kenworth, International®, Mack and Volvo.
In addition to helping drivers in the field, Bendix Wingman ACB provides fleet with data, including following-distance meas-ures and stability interven-tions that fleets can use in their driver training efforts and fleet operations.
“Whether you’re a large fleet, a small fleet, or an owner/operator, safety contributes to the bot-tom line,” said Andersky. “There were 28,000 rear-end collisions in 2008 involving heavy trucks. Fleets often tell us that preventing one crash could justify the cost for outfitting fleets with the Bendix Wingman ACB technology.”

Owner operators and fleet man-agers know that
the ECM is the brain of the engine. The ECM controls all of the functions of the engine including the amount of fuel, timing, injection pulse width and many other parameters. The ECM processes all of this in real time by reading values from per-formance maps and by using input values calcu-lated from signals com-ing from sensor devices that are monitoring the engine. Before the advent of ECUs these parameters were directly controlled by mechanical sensors and actuators and truckers had much more control on modifying the settings of their engine.
As the ECM took over the control of the engine, the ability to improve the performance of the engine was also taken away. Technologies were developed that allowed a plug-in box to be placed in the middle of the com-munication channels from the ECM to the engine that allow the ECM to be fooled by providing it dif-ferent information than what was actually taking place in and around the engine. This technology worked pretty well for increasing the raw horse-power of an engine, but it often required neglecting safety parameters that are designed to protect the engine.
ECM Tuners go a step beyond the plug-in box
by allowing the ECM pro-gram itself to be upgraded. With an ECM tuner, the in-formation relayed back to the ECM is 100% accurate from each of the sensors, but the ECM response to that information has now been modi-fied to achieve the desired results safely.
At this time only one company has de-
veloped an ECM tuner for the big rig market; Bully Dog Technologies. Their ECM tuner is called the Power Pup downloader. To modify the parameters in the ECM, the Power Pup is connected to either the 6
or 9 pin diagnostic data port inside the cab. A copy of the stock tune
is saved and then a new software
tune is uploaded into the ECM.
Once it is complete the ECM Tuner is disconnect-ed and stored away. On the ECM Tuner there are two settings above stock that are available for the trucker to pick from:
Setting 1: Economy - This tune is designed ex-clusively for adding more fuel economy out of the engine without adding any noticeable hp or torque gains. Bully Dog’s custom-ers are seeing an increase in fuel economy anywhere from 6 to 12% over stock with the economy tune installed.
Setting 2: Economy with Power – This tune is designed for adding more fuel economy while at the same time
adding additional hp and torque over stock. Again
Bully Dog’s customers are seeing an increase in fuel economy anywhere from 6 to 12% over stock, plus seeing 15% more hp and torque over their stock rating.
Bully Dog has been sell-ing the Power Pup down-loader to owner operators and fleets with Cat, Cum-mins and Detroit engines for the past 2 years. They entered the big rig mar-ket from the light duty market, where they are a market leader and have been adding performance and economy using simi-lar practices on gas and diesel pickups for over 10 years.

Hydrogen Generat-ing Control Sys-tem Wins Univer-
sity Of Victoria Awards For Increasing Fuel Efficiency And Emission Control On Combustion Engines
In 2007 Mar and Dan Dinsmore suffered from Carbon Monoxide poison-ing while crewing aboard an 85 foot yacht. After this near-death experi-ence they returned home to Victoria, BC. Dan and Marlene have always been interested in hydrogen energy and this experi-ence moved them to begin research in earnest for a product that could gener-ate hydrogen, reducing or eliminating the amount of emissions combustion engines produce.
After three years of re-search and testing systems already on the market, they still found nothing strong enough for marine vessels or heavy construc-tion application. So, find-ing nothing suitable on the market, they were deter-mined to design their own solution, being a rugged water resistant hydrogen generator with a pulse width modulator control system which they named “The Hydra Cat Perform-ance System.”
How does this benefit the Trucking Industry?
The Hydra Cat Perform-ance System is an afford-able solution for emission control and reduces fuel costs and no modification to the engine takes place.
The generator separates water with a mixture of an electrolyte into an ionised gas, where it is fed into the air intake of the manifold. Once the gas enters the engine and mixes with the diesel or gas, it al-lows the fuel to burn at a lower t e m -perature and cre-a t e s a c o m p l e t e burn. After that more torque and horse-power is created increas-ing fuel efficiency which reduces your fuel bills by up to 30%. Emissions are also reduced up to 70%,
all of this with just the use of water.
The Hydra Cat Perform-ance System is designed to handle combustion engines up to a 14 litre
engine displace-ment.
The control s y s t e m
was the difficult part of the de-
sign. Dan, a Mar ine
E l e c t r i c a l Engineer by trade,
developed a constant current pulse width modu-lator that was water resist-ant and shockproof which is able to withstand the rigors of open sea or com-mercial vehicle use but it
needed to be developed into a computerized sys-tem.
The team of UVic gradu-ating mechanical engin-eering students, Chris Chow, Brent Reynolds and Lee Adams at the Uni-versity of Victoria took the project on, along with Dan and the team’s hard work paid off. The new variable control system was a suc-cess and the Hydra Cat Performance System won the IDC Award for Innova-tion and Commercializa-tion Potential as well as the UVic Mechatronic Sys-tem Design award.
By installing their Hydra Cat Performance System, a transport fleet could save thousands of dollars in fuel, while enjoying
an affordable way to be green.
How does this work with the new trucks and with the emission control systems now in place?
The hydrogen generator is creating a cleaner burn, so there is less HC, NOX and CO being produced. The bottom line is that less fuel is used which will not harm the existing emis-sion control systems.

Greenville, SC - Wi t h a g r o w -ing number of
customers reaping the MICHELIN X One® tire’s fuel- and weight-savings benefits, Michelin is cele-brating the significant milestone of selling one million X One wide single tires. Michelin first intro-duced its next-generation wide-based single tire with the MICHELIN X One XDA® and X One XTA® tires in 2000 at the Great American Trucking Show, and has since added a wide variety of X One tires for different applications and vehicle types.
“This significant mile-stone – along with the breadth of wide single products we offer – proves that the X One tire is now a mainstream solution for fleet customers,” said François Corbin, Chief Operating Officer, Michel-in Americas Truck Tires. “Our goal all along has been to provide products that bring value to truck-ing fleets and owner-oper-ators. The X One tire has delivered that value and will continue to deliver on that promise.”
Trucking fleets from large to small are realiz-ing the benefits of X One tires, with the larger fleet customers saving millions of dollars a year on fuel costs.
“Even in 2000, Michelin engineers could see that
the future of the trucking industry would be a more responsible use of natural resources,” said Corbin. “We are now seeing those ideas become reality, and we stand ready with an industry-changing product that can address those needs.”
Since 2000, with X One tires, fleets have gained up to 10 percent in fuel ef-ficiency, resulting in more than 63 million gallons of fuel saved. This translates into 639,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions that did not enter the atmosphere. For a trucking fleet with 1,000 trucks, fitting X One tires can lead to a potential sav-ings of 17,000 metric tons of CO2 of emissions per year, or the equivalent of removing 3,400 cars from the road.
In addition to the fuel savings, truck fleets are realizing the weight sav-ings benefit of X One tires. Because of the reduced weight, trucks with X One tires can save more than 700 pounds per truck, which leads to fewer trucks on the road for the same amount of load, re-sulting in increased freight efficiency and additional emission savings. The MICHELIN wide single tire is made possible by Infini-Coil™ Technology – more than a quarter-of-a-mile of steel cord wrapped circumferentially around the crown of every X One
tire. Infini-Coil Technology reduces casing growth and stabilizes the contact patch, reducing irregular wear.
Michelin’s current X One tire line-up includes:
· MICHELIN X One XDA® Energy Tire – the most fuel-efficient drive tire in North America, introduced in March 2010
· X One XDN®2 Tire – a winning combination of fuel and traction benefits for on-highway use in rain and snow
· X One XTA Tire – the
fuel-efficient trailer tire complement to the X One XDA Energy tire
· X One XTE® Tire – trail-er tire designed specifically for regional settings
· X One XZY®3 Tire – the wide single tire for the on-/off-road market
· X One XZU® S Tire – specifically engineered for urban, high-scrub ap-plications
· X One XRV® Tire – re-places dual tires in the recreational vehicle (RV) application
Michelin X One tires
are also fully retreadable, and Michelin offers a var-iety of retread options for wide single tires through Michelin Retread Tech-nologies (MRT). MRT sup-plies the following X One retreads:
MICHELIN X One XDA retread, X One XDA-HT™ retread, X One XTA re-tread, X One XTE retread and · X One XZU S re-tread.
D e d i c a t e d t o t h e improvement of sustain-able mobility, Michelin designs, manufactures
and sells tires for every type of vehicle, including airplanes, automobiles, bi-cycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles and the space shuttle. The com-pany also publishes travel guides, hotel and restau-rant guides, maps and road atlases. Headquar-tered in Greenville, S.C., Michelin North America (www.michelintruck.com) employs more than 20,900 and operates 18 major manufacturing plants in 16 locations.V

Michelin Celebrates One Million X One Truck Tires
TIreS & WHeelS
Windsor, ON - When it comes to being pro-
gressive, Wolverine Freight System, based in Windsor, Ontario, likes to consider itself on the leading edge. They are one of the first CSA-approved carriers in Canada and have regis-tered as an ISO-9001:2000 company. Wolver ine Freight System is also Q1-approved by Ford -- a program which requires a supplier’s facility achieves excellence in four critical areas: capable systems, continuous improvement, ongoing performance, and satisfied customers.
With a documented 99 percent on-time delivery rate, Wolverine’s key to success is keeping its auto-motive customers and its plant running efficiently with Just-In-Time (JIT) de-liveries.
“About 85 percent of our business is delivering to automotive customers, who all rely on shipments
coming in on a JIT basis to keep production moving like clockwork,” said Mike Sills, Wolverine’s Fleet Maintenance Supervisor. “If we’re late, and it causes a shutdown, we could face stiff penalties.”
With a fleet of 125 com-pany tractors and aboutt 85 owner/operators, the company covers most of Ontario and the Midwest U.S. “Our company trucks are late-model Volvos. In addition, we have an excellent maintenance program in place, which helps ensure a reliable fleet,” Sills said. “But the wildcard and this is for any trucking company, is unforeseen problems and costs on the road.”
A c c o r d i n g t o B o b Smallhorn, Maintenance Manager for Wolverine Freight System, Goodyear has been a real asset by streamlining and control-ling our over-the-road tire costs. “We travel primarily on Hwy 401 in Ontario, and
then run all the way down to Texas,” he said. “We’re using the fleetHQ program now for tire issues on the road, especially in the states. For our milk runs in Canada, we know where our service locations are and rely primarily on Ben-son Tire, our Goodyear dealer, to help us out with any flats or issues on the road.”
Prior to enrolling in the fleetHQ program, Small-horn said drivers used to call him to report a tire problem. He, in turn, would flip through his self-made service directory if the incident were in Canada to get the service call going. “If the problem was in the U.S. I would call a service group we were using who would charge a fee every time we used that service which made costs ad up. Part of the prob-lem was their on the road service person. On some occasions, the company who answered the call
was a small operation and had retreaded tires which wasn’t the best solution for our operation.”
Today, a call to fleetHQ is not only free; it gets the service call in motion fast. According to Smallhorn, the program knows exactly what Wolverine needs in replacement tires. “We run Goodyear G662s on the steers, G182s on the drives and G316s on our trailers, so if there is a problem with one of those tires, we have them replaced with a like tire,” he said. “fleet-HQ has all our particulars loaded into their computer,
so they know us and our requirements at the time of the call. That keeps our tire program uniform and cost-effective.”
Being cost-effective is critical to Smallhorn. “Be-fore fleetHQ, we paid var-ied rates depending upon who handled our service call and tire replacement. With the fleetHQ program, we pay the same for a replacement tire on the road as we pay at home. On average, we’re back on the road within two hours. “What’s more, since we’re a national account, all billing for fleetHQ services
comes directly from Good-year Canada. This ensures our tire and service pricing is consistent, regardless of where the service is rendered and it makes ac-counting very easy.”
Since the beginning of the year, fleetHQ has assisted many compan-ies return to the road in an average of two hours and 17 minutes from the time the call center takes their calll. Results may vary, based on reasons for downtime, travel condi-tions, and nearest location of a participating service facility.V

Olive oil comes from olives, pea-nut oil from pea-
nuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers, but where
does canola oil come from?
Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, it was de-rived from “Canadian oil, low acid” in 1978. Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Can-ada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants. According to AgriAlterna-tives, The Online Innov-ation, and Technology
Magazine for Farmers, “By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are toxic to humans and other animals”.
Rapeseed oil is poison-ous to living things and is an excellent insect repel-lent. I have been using it (in very diluted form, as per instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last two years. It
works very well; it suf-focates them. Ask for it at your nursery. Rapeseed is oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as an illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is industrial oil. It is not a food.
Rapeseed oil is strongly related to symptoms of emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, consti-pation, irritability, and
blindness in animals and humans. Rapeseed oil was widely used in ani-mal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was discon-tinued.
Here are the facts.It is genetically engin-
eered rapeseed. Canada paid the FDA the sum of $50 million to have rape-seed registered and recog-nized as “safe”. (Source: Young Again and others).
Rapeseed is lubricating oil used by small industry. It has never been meant for human consumption. It is derived from the mustard family and is considered a toxic and poisonous weed, which when pro-cessed, becomes rancid very quickly.
If you would like to know more about this oil, please email me and I will send it to you. [email protected]

Kansas City, MO – Arrow Truck Sales has announced
the launch of Arrow’s Back On The Road™ 2011 campaign, presented by Volvo Trucks North Amer-ica. Now in its fourth year, Back On The Road™ is an initiative designed to benefit a deserving trucker in need of a truck and a job. Country music singer Aaron Tippin is once again lending his support to the program, and will serve an active role throughout the search, including helping select the winner.
“Truckers are the back-
bone of our nation’s econ-omy,” said Steve Clough, president of Arrow Truck Sales. “We’re proud to help a deserving driver climb back in the cab and start hauling again.”
Beginning immediately, Arrow will solicit stories from truckers across the nation who may have lost their truck, and their livelihood, through un-fortunate circumstances beyond their control. The 2011 campaign will also consider nominations for truckers who have, self-lessly, served as cham-pions for the profession
and the trucking industry in general. The trucker whose story is selected will receive a one-year lease on a Volvo VNL tractor, courtesy of Volvo Trucks North America, a one-year work agreement with Heartland Express, and other great products and services.
“Winning Back On The Road was the best thing that could have happened to me and my family,” said Robert Snyder, Arrow’s 2010 Back On The Road winner. “I now have a steady income, a great truck, and I get to see
more of my family. I en-courage anyone with a worthy story to apply.”
In addition to the truck and work agreement, the winner of Back On The RoadTM will receive:
X One® XDA Energy tires from Michelin, a TriPac auxiliary power unit from Thermo King, a monthly $500 fuel cards from Pilot Flying J, busi-ness consulting tools from ATBS, insurance from Owner-Operator In-dependent Drivers Asso-ciation (OOIDA), a 3-year / 300K-mile warranty from National Truck Pro-
tection, Inc., one year’s worth of filter products from Genuine Volvo Parts, a custom truck paint job from Dickinson Fleet Ser-vices, Truck accessories and fenders from Mini-mizer Products, a memory foam mattress from Sleep-Dog Mattress, paint from Sherwin-Williams and health assessment and check-ups from Roadside Medical Clinic & Lab.
Arrow invites people from across the country to nominate friends, family members, associates, even themselves for this opportunity. Applications
include a compelling 250-word story explaining why the nominee deserves to win. Stories about family loss, loss from natural disaster or a recent re-turn from military service could all be considered valid story submissions.
Arrow will accept nom-inations between October 4th, 2010 and December 5th, 2010 at www.back-ontheroad2011.com. The winner will be announced at the Mid-America Truck-ing Show (MATS) in Louis-ville, Kentucky, where he or she will receive a truck and prizes.V

La m o d e d a n s l ’ i ndus t r i e des pièces détachées
automotives a tendance à suivre l’industrie auto-motive en général. C’est pourquoi au moment des changements majeurs dans l’offre et la demande de véhicules, on n’est pas surpris de trouver un écho dans le secteur des pièces détachées. Autrefois, le North American Original Equipement Manufactur-ers (OEMS) s’est toujours taillé la part du lion de l’industrie des pièces déta-chées. Suivant l’obsession des consommateurs pour les prix bas, pour ne pas mentionner la concur-rence des fournisseurs étrangers, la part du mar-ché pour ces géants autre-fois incontestés continue à diminuer.
E n 2 0 0 8 , l a d e -mande pour des pièces d’Équipement Original a baissé de 20% dans un seul an. Ceci a précédé une nouvelle baisse escarpée en 2009 de 34.3%. En effet, lorsqu’on compte l’effet de l’inflation, la demande pour les pièces OE en 2009 est descendu à des niveaux qu’on n’a pas vus depuis les années 1950.
Si vous parlez à n’importe quel fournisseur de pièces, vous entendrez les mêmes réponses pour rationaliser le changement. « Il y a beaucoup de manufactur-iers de pièces qui entrent dans le marché actuelle-ment » explique Wes Govi-er, un acheteur vétéran de pièces pour camions pour sa compagnie, Regional Springs, basée à Sudbury. Govier a servi l’industrie de transport depuis trente et un ans comme spé-cialiste en réparations de freins, en embrayages, en ressort de transmissions et en systèmes de suspen-sion. Lui, il reste fidèle à ses manufacturiers nord-américains. « Nous faisons affaire strictement avec les manufacturiers nord-
américains » affirme-t-il en ajoutant que les pièces qui viennent d’ailleurs « ne sont pas égales à celles faites par les manufactur-iers nord-américains ». Pour lui, sa voie de ravi-taillement circule avec très peu d’interruptions, grâce à un réseau de rapports qu’il a développés avec certains manufacturiers nord-américains, mais il dit que mêmes les fournis-seurs traditionnels ne sont plus ce qu’ils étaient.
Il est vrai que beaucoup de OEMs fournissent des pièces faites aux endroits aux États Unis et au Can-ada, mais les composants – les billes ou les joints – par exemple, proviennent de sources offshore et on fait l’assemblage ici. Les OEMs continuent à bénéfi-cier de leur réputation de bonne qualité chez des acheteurs fidèles. Comme montrent les statistiques, des forces du marché sont en jeu et une économie faible favorise l’après-marché. De la même façon que les consommateurs privés, les compagnies de transport préfèrent investir dans le service et la réparation des camions pour éviter ou, au moins, différer des achats ma-jeurs. L’après-marché, si bien nommé, a bénéficié de la chute financière, des calculs récents le placent à presque $200 milliards par an. Ceux qui en tirent le plus grand avantage se trouvent dans des pays étrangers. Le Original Equipement Suppliers Association (OESA) cal-cule qu’en 1990, il y avait 30,000 compagnies dans la voie de ravitaillement nord-américaine, c’est-à-dire au moment où les fournisseurs étrangers ont commencé à s’insérer dans le marché nord-américain. Aujourd’hui ils n’en restent qu’à peu près 5,000, selon un rap-port compréhensif publié par le US Departement of Commerce International
Trade Administration. Bien que les survivants aient bénéficié d’une con-currence moindre grâce à une volume de ventes plus élevée, on prévoit des baisses qui résulteront des effets d’une écon-omie globale qui continue d’être faible. En plus, une tendance vers la consoli-dation va probablement produire d’autres change-ments dans le secteur de pièces détachées. Au fur et à mesure que les plus grands Original Equi-pement Manufacturers avalent leurs concurrents, les experts craignent que la monopolisation du mar-ché ne cause un rehausse-ment des prix.
Les OEs font face à des défis importants, selon des analyses de Claude Drouin, expert-conseil d’entretien de la flotte chez CFTS Group et ob-servateur depuis long-temps des changements dans l’industrie des pièces détachées pour camions. « Il est vrai que les OEs sont obligés de maintenir un certain niveau de qua-lité et que les fournisseurs d’après-marché n’ont pas cette obligation » dit-il. « Quand on installe un composant OE sur un véhicule, la compagnie le garantit ». En plus, des coûts associés avec la nécessité d’adhérer aux normes de l’industrie, imposée par des corps régulatoirs, les OEs sont ceux qui investissent leurs ressources financières en recherches et développe-ment. En revanche, les producteurs d’après-mar-ché arrivent à réduire leur coûts en copiant des in-novations développées par des autres. Les projec-tions les plus pessimistes avertissent que des pièces fausses sont fabriquées et sont insérées clandestine-ment dans la voie de ravi-taillement globale. Le US Federal Trade Commission estime que la contrefaçon coûte l’industrie de pièces
automotives $12 milliard par an, partout dans le monde. Les coupables principaux selon le Motor and Equipement Manu-facturers Association (MEMA) et l’Organization for Economic Cooper-ation and Development (OECD), sont la Chine, le Taiwan, Hong Kong, la Russie, l’Inde, le Pakistan et l’Uruguay.
La question primordiale reste: Est-ce que ce déluge de pièces étrangères a compromis la qualité? La réponse reste dans le vieux dicton « C’est le prix qui gouverne la qualité ». « Quand vous cherchez des remplacements après-marché, c’est la mêlée générale » dit Claude Drouin. « Cette industrie est motivée par le prix, c’est pourquoi vous pou-vez toujours trouver des prix de plus en plus bas. Mais comment est-ce que les fournisseurs y arrivent quand le coût de la pro-duction s’élève partout? » demande-t-il en faisant référence au coût, toujours en croissance, des matéri-aux. Des exemples inclu-ent les résines en plastique qui ont augmenté de 45 pourcent en deux ans, le caoutchouc augmenté de 20 pourcent en un an et l’acier pour la carros-serie, les châssis et les pare-chocs presque 100
pourcent depuis 2007. Ces hausses sont motivées par la demande dans le monde en voie de développe-ment pour des matériaux premiers nécessaires pour la production des pièces détachées.
La réponse de Drouin, au sujet de l’escalade des coûts de production est prévisible. « Les manu-facturiers vont toujours essayer de rivaliser sur le prix et négligeront la qualité ». En revanche, il met en garde contre la généralisation, en notant que certains produits après-marché sont de meilleure qualité que les produits OE, mais sont plus coûteux.
Dans la course de rester compétitifs, certains OE sont descendus dans l’arène des pièces moins chères et ont établi des installations outre-mer afin de profiter des salaires bas pour produire des pièces de deuxième qua-lité, mais ils n’ont eu qu’un succès limité. L’expert en pièces automotive, Claude Drouin dit que certains OE ont trouvé que cette option coûte trop cher et ont préféré la laisser aux autres.
Dans une industrie dont la survie dépend de couper les coûts à toute occasion, la demande pour les pièces étrangères est compréhen-
sible – mais il y a des risques. Écoutez Claude Drouin. « Mon conseil, à ce qui veut m’écouter, est que la meilleure fa-çon de réduire le coût de l’entretien est d’en eviter le besoin. Si vous êtes ob-ligé de répéter les répara-tions à plusieurs reprises, vous perdez de l’argent. S’il est nécessaire de payer deux fois le prix pour une pièce de bonne qualité, au moins vous économisez le coût du travail, parce que vous évitez les réparations supplémentaires ».
L’indice le plus fiable de la profitabilité en ma-tière de transport est le coût par mille/kilomètre, lequel peut augmenter de façon dramatique du mo-ment où vous êtes obligé de faire des réparations fréquentes, à cause des pièces de deuxième qua-lité. Alors, faites atten-tion, disent les experts, et ne succombez pas à la tentation d’acheter moins cher maintenant pour payer plus cher plus tard. Sans doute cette tentation deviendra plus intense quand les pièces auto-motives de deuxième qua-lité inonderont le marché nord-américain, spéciale-ment de pays moins chers comme la Chine, qui déjà profite de la croissance explosive dans l’industrie automotive.V

November 2010 33
Mississauga, ON – Making a bold move, Lions Gate
Trailer Rentals (LGTR) and Provincial Trailer Rentals (PTR) announced today the launch of a new name and branding for the combined entities, Trailer Wizards.
Both LGTR and PTR were regional leaders in semi-trailer lease, rental, storage and maintenance. With the strategic purchase of cer-tain assets of the Canadian branches of GE Canada Vehicle & Equipment Ser-vices (doing business as
GE Trailer Fleet Services, and formerly known as TIP) it gave them additional equipment, staff and facili-ties in Manitoba and New Brunswick.
Now the largest semi-trailer rental provider in Canada, the new company
is the result of the purchase of Ontario’s Provincial Trail-er Rentals (PTR) by Brit-ish Columbia’s Lions Gate Trailer Rentals (LGTR) in 2006 and PTR’s subsequent strategic asset purchase of GE Trailer Fleet Services (formerly known as TIP)
in 2010.To avoid confusion and
move PTR and LGTR be-yond their regional status to a national, full service trailer provider, it was rec-ognized that the new com-pany needed to integrate its operations into a unifying
brand. To learn more about Trailer Wizards including; trailer types, availability and maintenance programs, you can visit their new web-site at www.trailerwizards.com for further details and complete contact informa-tion nationwide.V

Montreal, QC - October 6, 2010 – Boomerang
Tracking Inc., Canada’s leader in stolen vehicle recovery, is proud to an-nounce the recovery of its 7,000th stolen vehicle equipped with a Boomer-ang recovery device. This milestone recovery brings the total value of assets recovered by Boomerang to approximately $350 mil-lion, highlighting the com-pany’s impact on helping to reduce the serious issue of vehicle theft in Canada by aiding law enforcement to recover stolen vehicles and get dangerous criminals off the streets.
The recovery of the 7,000th vehicle, a 1998 Acura Integra, demon-strates that the most popu-lar theft targets are com-monly used vehicles.
Peter Lambrinakos, Commander of the Service de police de la Ville de Montreal, notes that he observed, particularly over the past two years, that thieves are targeting older vehicles. “Some thefts are committed by joyriders, who are not really special-ized in vehicle theft, are looking for a car that is easy to steal and can be used to commit other crimes. Other, more professional thieves are working for organized auto theft rings who are targeting these type of vehicles to sell for parts on the black market,” concluded Commander Lambrinakos.
DETailS oF THE 7,000TH
rEcovEry
As the owner of the 1998 Acura Integra, Mr. Carlos Esposito, was sleeping in his tent while camping in Ontario, Boomerang Secur-ity Central awoke him at 5:30 a.m. because they had received an alarm from the automatic theft notification of Mr. Espisito’s Boomer-ang device. He confirmed that the vehicle should be in front of his residence and if it was moving to track it immediately. In less than one hour, the Boomerang tracking team had recovered the vehicle,
without any damage and advised local law enforce-ment who proceeded with the arrest of four thieves at the scene.
This was Mr. Esposito’s first vehicle theft experi-ence. He has been a Boom-erang client for the past eight years and chose to protect his Integra with a Boomerang device for the peace of mind it provided. “I was half asleep (when I received the theft notifica-tion call) and it was like a dream, but I felt safe. I had confidence in Boomerang and I knew that their re-covery team would take care of it in no time. I had nothing to worry about,” commented Mr. Esposito. “The Acura was my first car and is like my baby. I would always watch over it. Since I installed the Boomerang device on it, it just makes me sleep better at night, I feel comfortable and have no worries,” concluded Mr. Esposito.
NEED For ProTEcTioN
Mr. Esposito’s neigh-bor had his car stolen 3 times and it was never recovered in any of those cases. “While it is true that most insurance policies will cover a vehicle loss, drivers could expect to pay at least $2,500 in out of pocket expenses from a theft in lost vehicle con-tents, loss of use of vehicle, loss of a down payment, potential rental car costs and increases in insurance premiums on a replace-ment vehicle”, commented Michael Lendick, Director of Boomerang Tracking Security Central. “Every driver has a part to play in stopping vehicle theft; it is essential that consumers take a proactive role in protecting themselves. We believe that the more lay-ers of protection a driver uses, the safer their vehicle will be.”

To help people learn about protecting their vehicles from theft, Boomerang Tracking has published a booklet for consumers entitled “Keeping Track.”
The booklet is a guide that reviews the issue of vehicle theft in Canada and de-scribes four steps con-sumers can take to protect their vehicles against theft. A free electronic version is available on Boomer-ang Knowledge’s Center at www.BoomerangTracking.com/knowledge.

Toronto, ON - Octo-ber 7, 2010 (CNW) - Senior represent-
atives of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) will be meeting today with the President of the Work-place Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) on their re-cent decision to increase employer premiums for 2011 and 2012.
“We have one message for the WSIB - stop this irresponsible tax grab,” said CFIB President Cath-erine Swift. “The average “two per cent” increase doesn’t tell the whole story, in fact, many small businesses will be forced to pay much, much more at a time when they can least afford it”.
Employers who can ex-pect significant increas-
es in their premiums in 2011, with no guarantee they won’t see similar increases the following year, include:
Smal l , independent pharmacies - 11.5% in-crease
Small, independent re-tailers (clothing): 15.9% increase
Smal l , independent poultry farms: 19.5% in-crease
Smal l , independent school bus companies: 7.4%
Smal l , independent t ruck ing companies : 11.1% increase
Small, independent gro-cery and convenience stores: 16.6% increase
“Small businesses should not be forced to pay for the WSIB’s mismanagement of the system,” added CFIB’s
Ontario Vice President Satinder Chera. “With an unfunded liability in ex-cess of $12 billion and counting, it’s time some-one stepped in and put an end to this fiscal quagmire, before the WSIB is al-lowed to stick it to small businesses again”.

As Canada’s largest as-sociation of small- and medium-sized businesses, CFIB is Powered by Entre-preneursTM. Established in 1971, CFIB takes dir-ection from more than 107,000 members in every sector nationwide, giv-ing independent business a strong and influential voice at all levels of gov-ernment and helping to grow the economy.V

CFIB Meets with WSIB to Stop “Payroll Tax” Hike

I would first l ike to apologize to Mr. In-gratta for misspelling
his name in our October article.
Further to the article regarding Mr. Ingratta’s successful challenge of a fine for refusing to comply
when the Ontario Min-istry of Transport (MTO) refused to sign an access form before performing a speed limiter inspec-tion, truckers are experien-cing additional problems which have recently come to light. For example, MTO could find no evidence
of a speed limiter on a truck they examined and consequently issued a tick-et. The trucker then went to the dealer who con-firmed its existence and gave him documentation to that affect. When the trucker returned to the MTO agent to show proof
of the speed limiter, the MTO agent politely said “this is for the courts to decide”. Not only did he lose that day of work but he must now take time off to attend court in order to prove his innocence. Even though chances are the Crown will drop the char-
ges the trucker has wasted his time and lost wages.
It is time for government and their agents to be held responsible for wasting court time and truckers’ income. We are gathering information and data that we can use to support our fight with government to have this law abolished. If you have any informa-tion or a story to tell that might assist us we want to hear from you. There are rumblings that other prov-inces are watching us to see how well speed limit-ers work so it is important
to bring all the problems and defects forward before they decide to implement this law. If you reside out-side Ontario, contact your provincial government to enquire where they stand on this issue. If they are in support of implementing speed limiters, draw their attention to the problems we are encountering in Ontario.
We need your help be-cause we can’t fight this without you. Call Peter Turner at 1-613.831.1332 or visit www.thetruck-ersvoice.ca.V

Should Speed Limiters Be Abolished?

For my wife Sue and me, October 5, 2010 had been as usual,
not much different from many. We retired for the night and were sound asleep when at 1:15 a.m. our phone rang. When I answered, I heard the voice of our daughter-in-law, between sobs she proceeded to tell me that something had happened to our son Terry and that he had been found dead in his truck. Needless to say we quickly rushed over to her home, where we were met by two of the most gentle and kind police of-
ficers. They explained to us what had happened. While Terry was waiting at the company fuel pump, they found him fallen over and lifeless.
Later tests revealed, he died of an extremely large heart. This condition does not show during a physical medical checkup. Friends, I choose to relay this, to address a very important issue in life, and some-thing very few people deal with.
We find recorded in the bible,”It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement,” (Heb-rews 9:27). According to scripture then it is not over when our heart stops beating, we then experi-ence judgement. One of the questions we need to address is “what have you done with Jesus?” This is one of the absolute most important questions on this side of eternity.
Why? Very simple, we
find in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eter-nal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” In the gospel of John 14:6, we find the very words of Jesus say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father (heaven) except through Me (Jesus).” Acts 4:12 goes on to say, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
When planning for a spe-cial event, we insure that everything is in order; we get ready for the occasion. In the same way, we must be ready for our appoint-ment with God the Father. You see friends, our soul lives on forever. We decide here, where we want to spend eternity, heaven or hell. The Bible tells us that if we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. For
by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Eternal life (life after our body dies) cannot be earned, by good works, or by being good. It is simply a free gift of God,
that’s why Jesus, God’s Son went to the cross, and from there He prayed, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do”.
In closing, I want to leave you with a note from our son’s journal, “and now more than ever, I want to go Home, because I have
a home in glory land.” Friends, please make your reservation in heaven through Jesus Christ soon or now; because none of us knows when God’s call for us may come. He comes like a thief in the night, suddenly and without an appointment. It is import-ant and urgent.V

The Uncertainty of Tomorrow

Toronto, ON – The driving experience along Highway 401
improves significantly to-day with the opening of seven service centres built and managed by Host Kilmer Service Centres (HKSC). These new ON-route Centres are part of the Province of Ontario’s redevelopment program of 23 service centres along Highways 401 and 400.
“Redeveloping our high-way service centres is part of the McGuinty govern-ment’s Open Ontario plan to invest in our infrastruc-ture and create opportun-ities for Ontario families. These state-of-the art service centres will serve motorists better and help showcase our province in a positive way,” said Kathleen Wynne, Ontario Minister of Transporta-tion.
The new dining se-lections, ranging from Tim Hortons, A&W and Coldstone Creamery, to KFC, BURGER KING® and Taco Bell are featured throughout the network of new centres. These quick service restaurants supplement the Can-adian Tire gas stations / convenience stores and washroom facilities that opened earlier this sum-mer east of the GTA on Highway 401 at Bainsville, Morrisburg, and Trenton North, and west of the GTA on Highway 401 at Tilbury North and Tilbury South, Dutton and West Lorne.
“We are proud to open these centres on time and with full services as promised,” said Host-Kilmer representatives Ken Tanenbaum, EVP, Kilmer Group, and HMS-Host Vice President, Mi-chael Jones.
“We appreciate the pa-tience of Ontario travel-lers during the construc-tion period, and we’re confident they will agree that these clean, comfort-able and state-of-the-art travel centres are places worth celebrating.”
Motorists will also find The Market, a custom travel retail store that features an outstanding selection of fresh gourmet “foods to go” as well as newspapers, maps and magazines. Convenience and travel items, includ-ing everyday essentials, add to the many offerings and amenities travellers will now find along the highway.
“The partnership be-tween Canadian Tire’s gas bars and convenience stores and Host Kilmer’s ONroute Centres deliv-ers outstanding value, services and experiences to travellers,” said Bruce Allen, President of Can-adian Tire Petroleum. “Our sites will offer top-quality gas, great ser-vice and an opportunity to earn Canadian Tire ‘Money’®.”
“These service centres reflect the Ontario brand creatively, are designed to accommodate current
green technology, and are adaptable to the needs of travellers in the future,” said Les Klein, Principal of Quadrangle Architects. “It is important that we offer travellers a consistent, excellent experience and a design that reflects the nearby communities.”
Staffed tourist informa-tion centres are located at the Tilbury South and Bainsville ONroute cen-tres. These Highway 401 centre locations are the gateways to the province from the east and west.
Larry Daer, EllisDon’s Executive in Charge of Construction said, “We are pleased to achieve this important milestone with HostKilmer on the Prov-ince service centre pro-ject. This redevelopment process encompasses a complete design-build of these centres, including having them built to tar-get LEED® Silver certifica-tion. This will significantly improve travellers’ ex-perience across Ontario’s busiest highway.”
The roster of dining, convenience and service offerings now available includes:
Tilbury North - Highway 401 W - Tim Hortons, BURGER KING® and The Market
Tilbury South - Highway 401 W - Tim Hortons, BURGER KING® and The Market
Morrisburg - Highway 401 E - Tim Hortons, BURGER KING® and The Market
Trenton North - High-way 401 E - Tim Hortons, A&W, Cold Stone Cream-ery, Pizza Pizza and The Market
Dutton - Highway 401 W - Tim Hortons, A&W, Cold Stone Creamery, Taco Bell, KFC and The Market
West Lorne - Highway
401 W - Tim Hortons, A&W, Taco Bell, KFC and The Market

Construction on the three subsequent phases will continue through to 2012, and openings for these phases will follow
in 2011 through 2013. For construction updates and more information about the phased construction schedule, please visit: www.mto.gov.on.ca. For updates specific to the centres, the customer experience or to apply for a job, please visit www.onroute.ca.V
