BCT Inc., a PCA transportation Company

Months of preparation have led to a smooth start! Final touch

-ups to the plant are being made and product is beginning to ship

from PCA’s new facility in Rich-land, WA.

Over the past few weeks we’ve filled the roll stock ware-house to capacity and on No-vember 25 we hauled the first dry van load to a customer in Pasco.

Outbound flatbed move-ments began on 12/2 with the first load going to Chelan Falls, WA. Multiple shipments of vari-ous types of products including ink, sheets, safety equipment are arriving daily.

Construction contractors con-tinue to occupy a number of are-as around the plant, including the drop trailer lot, so much of the equipment is still at BCT’s yard in Wallula. We anticipate that will clear up by the end of the year and drivers will be reporting for work at the new site.

As the first quarter of 2020 begins we are anticipating 5-10 outbound loads per day, but as the year progresses we expect that volume to double. We’ve hired Matt Blatman as the load planner for the Richland facility but have yet to determine if he’ll be working out of the shipping office in Richland or the dispatch office in Wallula.

Either way were prepared to provide outstanding service to this internal customer and look forward to being a part of the PCA Richland team.

** The number of preventable wrecks per million miles of travel.

Despite difficult weather dur-ing parts of the month in several parts of the country, BCT/PCA drivers turned in one of the best safety performances of the year.

That’s the word from Randy Bailey, Manager of Driver Ser-vices and Safety in his monthly Accident Frequency Report (AFR).

All categories of drivers logged 1.3 million miles with only one preventable accident.

During the month, Owners travelled 755,366 miles while Company drivers logged 572,183.

November was the third month of the year with only one preventable accident.

In 11 months, drivers have had 33 prevent-ables while driving al-most 15 million miles.

Twenty-one of the accidents have been credited to company trucks with 13 to Owner Opera-tors.

The combined AFR for 11 months of 2019 is 2.30.

“It was a good month,” Bailey said. “We’re hoping drivers main-tain focus and continue that trend as the year comes to a close and

Chris Bennett’s approach to safe driving hasn’t changed in the eight years since he was honored for driving one million miles with-out a preventable accident.

“It’s really no secret,” he said in 2011, “we all know how to do it. We just have to follow through with it.”

That basic approach has worked and, eight years later, he has added another million miles of driving safely. In doing so, he becomes one of the vey elite among the many members of the BCT Million Mile Club.

There will be another plaque on the Wallula Terminal wall hon-oring Bennett’s newest achieve-ment. In addition, he receives a watch and a sizeable cash award.

“Chris is extremely reliable and experienced,” said Wallula Terminal Manager Andy Sar-razin. “ He takes a lot of pride in his occupation and isn’t bashful about speaking his mind when he sees something that needs im-provement.”

Bennett was 17 when he “pestered” his way into that first

“man job” with the firm that did construction work among other types of work with trucks. He showed up with a lunch box dressed for work and hung out with employees as they prepared for the work day. After a few days, the owners decided to “send him out with the dirt crew” and give him a shot.

That tenacious approach to getting a job led to a chance driv-ing trucks around the job sites and eventually help getting his CDL when he was just 18. He

Growth of trucking out of Wal-lula, specifically the new Richland plant, has resulting in the hiring of a new load planner...Matt Blat-man.

Originally from nearby Kennewick, Blatman had moved to Seattle as he advanced with a large wholesale firm. Working up from a warehouseman, Blatman served in customer service and branch management positions. But he chose to return to his hometown because his Dad was dealing with a difficult cancer di-agnosis.

When he saw the PCA ad for the position, he thought it would be a good fit. “I’m really excited,

honestly,” he said of the role he will be playing with the new PCA plant.

As a 2008 graduate of South-ridge High School, Blatman took his baseball skills to the Universi-ty of Oregon. But that career was cut short by injury. He is now en-gaged and found out recently he will be adding ’father’to his list of accomplishments.

Away from work, Blattman and his fiancée, Brie, enjoy the outdoors and spend time camp-ing and hiking among other activi-ties. He also plays softball and enjoys time playing keyboard.

Blatman is currently training in dispatch with veterans Robb Stevenson and Paul Fischer.

started hauling agricultural prod-ucts in state and gained experi-ence pulling flatbeds and belt trailers.

He hooked up driving a truck for an Owner-Operator and then driving a Boise company truck in 1998. As the number of company trucks was being reduced at Wal-lula, Bennett was among several who purchased trucks and be-came Owner-Operators. He built a small fleet of three trucks but, by 2005 the high costs of fuel and the economy forced him to get out of the business. He signed on as a company driver and has been here since.

In the years since earning the first safe driving honor, Bennett has felt the regulatory changes that have “tightened trucking” but sees it generally as a good thing.

“And the equipment is always improving.,” he said noting that

he is driving a new truck with an automatic transmission.

One of the new features on his chip trailer is the automatic tarping system. “You just jump out and push a button,” he said. The tarp rolls out over the load and then securely tighten themselves. When it’s time to dump the load, another button causes the tarp to retract.

As the terminal retrofits trail-ers, the difficult task of rolling tarps out with a long pole at-tached to a crank handle will be eliminated.

“It should eliminate shoulder injuries ,” said Bennett of the safety benefits of the automatic tarping.

Chris and his wife Cheryl have now been married 29 years and have three grown children.

Sarrazin sees no reason that Bennett’s approach to safe driv-ing won’t continue. “ I have little doubt that in another 7-8 years we’ll be honoring him with 3 mil-lion safe miles,” he said.

“Our drivers have tradition-ally performed well in the ad-verse conditions of winter,” said Randy Bailey, BCT Man-ager of Driver Services and-Safety.

“The weather, combined with the holidays and crowded highways creates accident possibilities unlike those we see at other times of the year,” he added.

So, here are some remind-ers just to keep our drivers prepared for the season:

Be prepared for every

situation It’s important to check that

you have the right equipment before you start your journey, especially during the harsh winter months. Make sure you are ready for every possible situation and be sure to check that you have the following items to hand:

De-icer and ice scraper – front and rear windscreens must be clear of snow and ice before you set off

A shovel and a bag of sand or salt – minor roads don’t tend to be gritted and it’s quite easy to get stuck

Jump cables -just in case your truck (or someone else’s) won’t start

A flashlight

A high-visibility jacket

A warm blanket, and extra warm clothes – it’s always worth carrying extra clothes in case you get stranded

Food and water – just in case you get stuck and are awaiting recovery or held up

in heavy traffic

At least half a tank of gas always – journeys make take longer than planned or you may need to find alterna-tive routes

Inspect your truck When it comes to vehicle in-

spections, you may need to slightly alter your regular checks during winter months. Importantly, you should check your:

Tires – wear, pressure and balance

Battery – power and charg-ing system

Wiper blades – working and free from snow and ice

Fluid levels – topped up

Lights – fully functional

Defrosters – ensure they are functional

Check the conditions Keep up-to-date with weather

information before you set off and remain aware of changing conditions and closed routes via

GPS systems, radio or be regu-larly calling into base.

Drive carefully Sudden, sharp movements

can cause you to lose control – hard acceleration and braking decreases traction. Keep to a steady, consistent speed and go easy on the brakes. Hold the dis-tance between you and the vehi-cle in front to retain a comfortable braking distance in icy condi-tions. With over 17% of all vehi-cle crashes occuring during the winter months, drivers should:

Slow down

Most accidents occur because drivers are travelling too fast. This is especially dangerous for truck drivers as it takes much longer to bring the vehicle to a halt if there is an obstruction or incident in the road ahead.

When getting behind the wheel of an unfamiliar vehicle, take the time to become accus-tomed to how the vehicle handles and be award that it’s much hard-

(Continued on page 9)

Be ready, not surprised by winter

Page 9 Trucking

er to control or stop on a road that is covered in snow!

Remember that the speed signs are intended for dry roads and good weather conditions!

Allow extra space

Increase your following dis-

tance to allow time to react to the vehicles in front of you in bad weather or poor road condi-tions. In such conditions allow ten times the normal stopping dis-tance. Remember, trucks need more time to stop than cars do.

While there’s often a ten-dency to associate hazardous weather mainly with snow and ice, fog, rain and sun dazzle can all have a huge impact on

driver safety too.

Drive smoothly

Sudden, sharp movements can cause you to lose control and similarly, hard acceleration and braking also decrease traction. Hold a consistent, steady speed and be easy on the brakes – keeping a good distance between you and the car in front, you will always have a comfortable brak-ing distance in icy conditions.

Use your turn signals

Trucker’s have a rule of

thumb when changing lane; for every road condition.

For winter trucking, use four or five blinks and then move over slowly into the next lane. Don’t feel the need to match the speed of the drivers around you. If you’re cautious of your truck on the winter roads, hold your speed and use your hazard lights – this tells other road users that you are going slower than they are.

Be mindful of hazards Trucking in winter can be

seen as a hazard in itself, but there are two particular haz-ards you should watch out for:

Black ice

In close to freezing tempera-tures, look out for clues that black ice may be on the roads. Black ice is a dangerous road condition, and presents itself as a thin layer of transparent ice that often makes the road look slightly wet. Signs that you’re at risk from black ice include:

A build-up of ice on your trucks mirror arms, antennae or the top corners of the wind-shield

(Continued from page 8)

Winter

Page 10 Trucking

There’s more darkness this time of the year so be sure you’re seen anytime you’re out of the truck...checking equip-ment, delivering a load, installing tire chains, whatever...don’t be the guy oth-ers can’t see.

Spray from tires on the vehi-cles in front of you – if this spray stops, be aware of the possibility of black ice

Fog

In heavy, thick fog that limits visibility, use your lights and slow down. Even if vehicles are travelling faster that you are comfortable with. Use your wipers and demisters to keep windscreens as clear as possi-ble.

Heavy rain If you’re struggling to see the road ahead due to heavy rain, then it’s advisable to slow down. Keep a good distance between you and the vehicles in front and beware of hydro-planing when tires lose trac-tion due to water on the road. If your vehicle does start aqua-planing, hold the steering wheel straight, gently ease off

the gas and avoid hitting the brakes until you regain control.

Bridges Elevated structures, such as bridges, usually freeze first and are not always treated with salt/sand to melt the snow or ice. During the winter months, be sure to approach these areas carefully, to avoid spinning out or losing contro

l.

Be careful when enter-

ing and leaving your

truck This may seem like an obvi-

ous point, but it’s common for truck drivers to fall and injure themselves by underestimat-ing just how slippery their vehi-cle’s steps are. Take your time and wear boots with a good grip to reduce your chance of slipping and injury. Also, when visibility is low, always remem-ber your high-visibility vest!

Know when to stop There’s a good time and a

bad time to stop driving. When winter conditions become so treacherous that driving no

longer becomes possible, find a place to stop. wherever pos-sible, do not stop on the shoul-der as this will dramatically in-crease your chances of being hit. Instead, drive carefully to a gas station or any 24-hour es-tablishment and wait until visi-bility increases.

BCT is handing out $800 to the eight Owner-Operators who received clean inspections during the most recent reporting period.

Several years ago, when new federal rules were implemented, a premium was placed on clean inspections. It was the feeling of FMCSA that inspections revealed issues that directly affected the safety of a truck on the highway.

“Not only did we agree,” said Randy Bailey, Manager of Driver Services and Safety, “but we put up the money to demonstrate our commitment .”

Bailey said clean inspections usually follow quality pre– and post-trip inspection that give driv-ers a chance to discover and re-pair safety issues.

Wallula crew helps

Vancouver Owner

From Rebecca Moore Vancouver Terminal Mgr.

Thanks to Andy Sarrazin and

his folks for stepping up and as-sisting an Owner Operator during a very unfortunate situation that involved a roll over on Highway 12 at Gate 3 in Wallula.

Andy and his crew went to the scene and called all the ap-propriate folks to get the truck and trailer upright and loaded our scrap onto Flatbeds.

Thank you again Andy to you and your crew.

Praise for those who

helped survive failure

of Omnitracs system

From Dan Bernert BCT General Mgr.

Hats off to our drivers, own-ers, planners and dispatchers who persevered the Omnitracs outage of November 2.

We lost hours of service and GPS tracking capabilities for most of our MCP units for a good three days.

The situation could have been a real nightmare but Mike Hayes, Randy Bailey, Pat Rob-inson and Cassie Wood all stepped up and walked the driv-ers and owners through the tran-sition to paper logs and commu-nicated updates as they became available.

It took 30 days and 21 up-dates from CEO Ray Greer at Omnitracs before long term firm-ware solution was implemented and beta tested. We count on our ELD provider for accuracy, relia-bility and integrity and quite frank-ly, they let us down.We have be-gun our search for another pro-vider. Like Mike always tells me, “ what doesn’t kill you, does make you stronger”.

Drivers step up for

customers on holidays From Rob Roop Columbus Terminal Mgr.

Big thanks to Joe Troidl for

coming in on Sunday, Nov.24, to

deliver boxes to Cliff Bar as they called in an emergency load that morning. This is the service we provided to our customers and appreciate our drivers for their commitment.

On a scheduled Holiday,

Nov.29, Mike Hill volunteered to come in and take a load of boxes to PC Packaging/Rose Acres as they were in need for the weekend.

Thanks Mike, we appreciate your commitment to our custom-ers!

When help is needed,

Hage helps out From Amy Barron Jackson Terminal Mgr.

I would like to say THANKS

to Mike Hage for always being willing to help me out. Not only filling in for me when I take a day off, but if I need help catching up on things, or accepting loads in EDI after I have left for the day. Hage is always helpful.

He also lets me pick on him

and makes me laugh.
