Economic #trucking trends: Class 8 orders doubled in September, as #fleets began lining up for 2025 build slots. However, demand remains at replacement levels in the face of a freight market that continues to be stagnant. The spot market revealed no surprises for the most recent week, with rates following seasonal trends. And a move to reduce internal trade barriers in Canada’s trucking industry, but is it enough? James Menzies has the details. #truck #transportation #truckingindustry https://lnkd.in/gu6Vg-v8

Enforcement officials placed 27% of inspected #trucks out of service during a recent #commercialvehicle enforcement blitz in the Halton Region situated in the Golden Horseshoe of Southern Ontario.

Ice is great in a cool drink, or for skating. It’s not so much fun when it bungs up your air lines and starves your #brakes of stopping power. When was the last time you drained your air tanks? Do you even know where the air tank drain valve is? Or more to the point, can you access it (them) with all the aero fairings on today’s #trucks, asks Jim Park. A heavy truck’s air compressor puts out four to six ounces of water during an average day’s operation. But get this: less than a teaspoon of water can freeze and disable some portion of an air brake system — disabling the truck at the same time. #trucking #maintenance https://lnkd.in/gB5Jf86c
