Page 4 ~ SEPTEMBER 2017 TRUCKING NEWS Myron Rau President PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE [email protected] The SDTA Annual Convention was a success again this year which was emphasized by the size of the crowd. We had great seminars coupled with some much needed relaxation from our daily routines. There were invaluable conversations regarding catching up on personal lives of our peers along with talking about the challenges of the industry. It seemed that the totality of my time was spent visiting with members regarding regulations that guide and challenge our work each and every day. In this edition of the Trucking News, you will find details regarding the awards that were presented during the convention. I specifically want to congratulate the Driver of the Year, the Chairman’s Award recipient, the Safety Manager of the Year, the Pride of the Show company, the Partner in Safety Award winner and the Fleet Safety Award winners. It is also very special to present the service awards that recognize milestones of service to this industry. All of these award winners stand as examples of how and why this industry continues to survive and thrive. Again, CONGRATULATIONS to all! As I grow older, I recognize how life can change in a moment. Last week, SD Senator Brock Greenfield went to the hospital for some tests and found blockages around his heart that led to multiple bypass surgery (boy, that sounds familiar). He came through the surgery just fine and is now convalescing in Clark. Also last week, Shawn Lyons who is the Executive Director for the South Dakota Retailers Asso- ciation, suffered two strokes while he was attending a conference of his peers in Portland, OR. Shawn is still not out of the woods but is improving at the time of this writing. Both of these gentlemen are much younger than I am. These examples, as so many others, remind me just how life can change in a moment. It also reminds me that we are not in charge of our destiny. I recommend we all live our lives each day as it may be our last. Live, love and laugh! Many of you have had conversations with my wife, Anita, or myself regarding our changes to our liv- ing quarters. For those who have not, here goes. In July of 2015, we bought a piece of a warehouse (built in 1909) in downtown Sioux Falls. Another structure was added to this warehouse with the whole development to be subdivided into individual lofts. For those of you that have done something similar, this is a life altering experience in that you need to downsize - there goes my lawn mower and tools that I have accumulated over the years. We sold our home in southern Sioux Falls in the spring of 2016 and moved to a rental loft on north Phillips Avenue and not so patiently waited and watched the warehouse remodel. Well, it has been a long wait but we finally moved into our new loft at 421 North Phillips Avenue on September 15th. We are now downtown residents! Stay safe! Until next month...

  • HOW to FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This Document Contains the File Names Followed by Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Name Fo
    HOW TO FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This document contains the file names followed by motor vehicle manufacturer’s name for a great many of the VIN decoders received by NHTSA since the VIN regulations went into effect on October, 1980. It is not intended for amateur use, and as such is not equipped with the graphical user interfaces that main stream “www” consumer Internet sites are designed with. To use it, using your computer keyboard, hold “CONTROL” and tap “F” This action will bring up a query field. Only use one or two words of a manufacturer’s name when performing this search. It is best to use the second name of Chinese manufacturers as their first name may be a Province. Using the “find next” key stroke, go all the way through the document until you find (and record) every file name associated with your manufacturer. Manually type ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail or just click on this hyperlink. Hold “control” and tap “F” to display the search screen again allowing you to enter the previously discovered “file names.” Double clicking these file names brings up images of the manufacturer’s VIN decoders. NHTSA intends to revise these sites on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month: (1) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail (2) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/manufacture (3) www.nhtsa.dot.gov.cars.rules.manufacture Page : 1 Monday May 22, 2006 Docket: 01-022N11-B Comment Date Date of Number Received Submitter/Firm/Subject Pages Document ======= ======= ================= ===== ======== 00001 04/17/1980 KEITH L.

  • 2012 Vehicle Recalls by Manufacturer
    2012 Vehicle Recalls by Manufacturer This analysis should not be interpreted as an indication of what NHTSA thinks of any particular manufacturer or its products. Since these summary numbers do not factor in or weight averages based on production, the largest OEMs tend to top the list each year. These tallies are not used to evaluate manufacturers or to evaluate which recalls the agency may need to investigate or monitor. There are a host of reasons why a manufacturer could have more or fewer recalls in a given year or over time – including, but not limited to, the introduction of new technology, its barometer for measuring risk, which could be more conservative or liberal as contrasted to other manufacturers or the industry as a whole, or other variables.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Iowa’s workforce training programs have evolved from a business expansion incentive tool into a comprehensive, targeted human resource tool available to all Iowa businesses. The mission of IDED’s Workforce Development initiative is: to work in partnership with public/private service providers and other state agencies to actively promote Iowa’s preeminence in new employee training, incumbent worker preparation, lifelong learning, and development and expansion of the state’s labor pool to enhance the state’s businesses’ competitiveness, thus keeping companies located in Iowa and raising the wages of Iowa workers. Iowa’s industry-driven workforce development programs and services enhance Iowa’s economic well being by increasing the skills of an already productive Iowa workforce. Iowans, with their unmatched work ethic, are acquiring skills that will increase their earning and improve the competitiveness of Iowa businesses. By leveraging training resources, filling funding gaps in human resource development initiatives, and sponsoring business consortia that address common employment training needs, the skills of Iowa’s workers are enhanced, allowing its industries to grow. Iowa training dollars can be used to provide the following services: - Basic Adult Education - Skill Assessment - Job related counseling - Training services of a community college or another educational institution - Training related materials, equipment, software and supplies - Testing and evaluation of employees - Cost of training services for company, college or contracted trainer - Reimbursement of training travel costs for employees - Contracted or professional services Eligible applicants include Iowa businesses engaged in manufacturing, processing, assembling products, warehousing, wholesaling, or conducting research and development.
