An interesting read from Canadian Underwriter on how #insurancebrokers manage #trucking companies that misrepresent fleet size. Brokers are the front-line defenders for insurers covering commercial trucking. Especially since some fleet owners may attempt to insure only the trucks in use, while not reporting those sitting on lots and not being driven, writes Alyssa Di Sabatino. #truckingindustry #transportation #insurance https://lnkd.in/gv7UTtDf

There’s no mystery or magic to successful #tire management. It’s just a process, with steps to follow and results to verify. Haphazard approaches won’t yield consistent results, but attention to detail can take your tire program to the next level. That attention to detail takes many forms, from spec’ing the correct tire for the wheel position and the application, to doing regular yard surveys to check the condition of the tires. Jim Park takes an in-depth look into tire management. #truck #trucking #truckdriver #transportation https://lnkd.in/gM_FXSm2

It’s becoming increasingly likely that the internal combustion engine (ICE), which has served the #transport industry so well for 100-plus years, will continue to be a key enabler in the industry’s pursuit of #decarbonization. However, the fuels burned within an ICE engine will need to become fossil-free, and #hydrogen is a leading candidate to meet this requirement. Hydrogen is often associated with fuel cells, but hydrogen ICE (H2-ICE), brings some inherent advantages over the complexity of fuel cells.

The Port Transportation Association held a second rally on July 21, to protest the new #container #trucking service requirements in the Lower Mainland of B.C. The association believes the new rules will harm smaller and medium #drayage companies operating in the area since it would prohibit many operators from “doing business with themselves” as the new requirements prevent licensed #trucking companies from using their subsidiary or associated non-licensed companies to perform off-dock work. #intermodal https://lnkd.in/gig_kZTq
