  • Think Like Your Customer
    2010 YEAR IN REVIEW THINK LIKE YOUR CUSTOMER Put on a hard hat. Walk the job site. Check the engine readings. Examine the project schedule. Evaluate the bottom line. These are just a few of the tasks that thousands of Caterpillar customers around the world perform every day. The more closely we can see the job from our customers’ point of view, the more likely we are to meet their needs. And when that happens, we all win. 1 2010 YEAR IN REVIEW CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE THINK LIKE AN OWNER Throughout my career, whenever I’ve taken on a new job, I’ve really had to learn as I go. Most people probably have that same experience because there usually isn’t Doug Oberhelman time for a lengthy transition – your boss shows you Chairman and CEO to your new desk and away you go. But this year, as I started my new job – my dream job – as Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar, I did have the benefit of a smooth and carefully planned transition. Jim Owens designed a plan that allowed me to focus on creating our new strategy while he kept the day-to-day operations under control. For six months, I led a diverse group of Caterpillar leaders as we took a critical, in-depth look at our business and laid out our new Enterprise Strategy to guide Caterpillar from 2010 to 2015. Jim kept the team focused on finishing strong on our 2010 goals, while I worked with our leaders to create and teach our new strategy to employees, dealers and suppliers.

  • DISPATCH June 2014
    DISPATCH June 2014 Hours of Service Restart Ruling On June 5, 2014, American Trucking Associations leaders applauded the Senate Appropriations Committee for adopting a common sense solution proposed by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to address the unjustified changes to the restart provisions of the hours-of- Inside service restart rules. Truck Driving “Since these rules were proposed in 2010, ATA has maintained they were unsupported by Championships Results science. Since they were implemented in 2013, the industry and economy have experienced substantial negative effects as a result,” said Bill Graves, ATA President and CEO. “Thanks to Senator Collins’ leadership, we are a step closer to reversing these damaging, unjustified WHG PRO Truck Golf regulations.” Classic Results The Collins Amendment would suspend, for a year, the new restart rules that push more trucks onto the road during daytime hours, a consequence the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Highlights from ATA Administration failed to fully analyze from a safety standpoint. Leadership Conference “America expects its freight to be moved, and these new rules prevent some drivers from taking a restart over the weekend,” said Phil Byrd, ATA Chairman and president of Bulldog Hiway Express, Charleston, S.C. “As a result, they need to take their restart midweek leading to shipping delays and costs. If you’re fortunate enough to be able to take your restart over a weekend, it exacerbates congestion because this regulation dumps concentrated amounts of trucks on the highway system at 5:01 a.m. Monday morning when America is heading off to work and school,” Byrd said. “This is not the end of this debate,” said Dave Osiecki, ATA executive vice president and head of national advocacy, “Thanks to the hard work of ATA’s members, the professional staff, ATA’s federation partners and the courage and leadership of Sen.

Civil No. ________________ FEDEX GROUND PACKAGE SYSTEM, INC., a foreign company, Defendant. CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT AND JURY DEMAND COMES NOW Plaintiff Jaime Loree Armijo, on her own behalf and on behalf of all others similarly situated, by and through undersigned counsel, and asserts to the best of her knowledge, information and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, the following: INTRODUCTION 1. FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (hereafter, “FedEx Ground”) has fought – and largely lost – a 15-year-plus battle with its drivers over their correct classification as employees or independent contractors. For reasons mostly relating to securing business advantages over competitors, FedEx classified its drivers as independent contractors, which in turn forced the drivers to carry most of the expenses relating to courier overhead. Over the last five years, this classification status has been consistently rejected by various courts. See, e.g., Slayman v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., 765 F.3d 1033 (9th Cir. 2014); Craig v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., 335 P.3d 66 (Kan. 2014) (per curiam); Alexander v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., 765 F.3d 981 (9th Cir. 2014). The quantity of litigation arising from FedEx Ground’s Case 1:17-cv-00440 Document 1 Filed 04/11/17 Page 2 of 20 claimed status of its drivers is the byproduct of the operating agreements it entered into with its drivers.

This includes transport of certain supplies and equipment, as well as please call 7-.... or visit personnel. Drivers are still required to have at least 10 consecutive hours off duty (eight hours if www.crs.gov. transporting passengers) before returning to duty. It has been estimated that up to 20% of bus and large truck crashes in the United States involve fatigued drivers. In order to promote safety by reducing the incidence of fatigue among commercial drivers, federal law limits the number of hours a driver can drive through the HOS rule. Currently the HOS rule allows truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, during which time they can drive up to 11 hours, followed by at least 10 hours off duty before coming on duty again; also, within the first 8 hours on duty drivers must take a 30-minute break in order to continue driving beyond 8 hours.

  • Understanding the FMCSA's Final Rule on Elds
    Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs An Overview of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) and Compliance for Fleets Vik Sridhar, Solutions Engineer, HOS Expert February 2016 Introduction In December 2015, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released the fnal ruling requiring the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) for the commercial truck and bus industries. The fnal rule was implemented to improve road safety, strengthen compliance, and protect commercial drivers. To assist feets in complying with the new regulations, Geotab has prepared this overview of the changes in the new regulations, including an electronic logging history and a comparison of the changes in the different rulings. This paper addresses these important questions: • What is an ELD? • Who does the new ELD rule impact? • What is the timeframe for compliance? • What should motor carriers do to comply? • What are the benefts of ELDs? • How can Geotab help with HOS/DVIR compliance? Understanding the FMCSA’s Final Rule on ELDs | 2 What is an ELD? ELD = Electronic Logging Device An electronic logging device (ELD) is a device that attaches to a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) to synchronize with the engine and record Hours of Service (HOS).1 As defned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is a self- propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway for interstate commerce, transporting passengers or property, and meeting certain criteria for weight and design or use.2 The ELD facilitates considerably more accurate recording of all driver activity by providing “snapshots” of the vehicle’s location throughout the driver’s day.1 ELDs automatically record driving time and monitor information such as location, engine hours, vehicle movement, and miles driven.
