General Terms Definitions Bill of Lading A paper document between a shipper and a carrier acknowledging (BOL, BL, B/L): the receipt of goods for transport. Usually describes the nature of the cargo; hazardous materials classification (if any); amount of cargo by weight, size, and/or number of pallets, boxes, barrels, etc; and the origin and destination of the cargo. Bobtailing: Operating a tractor unit with no trailer attached. (See Deadheading). Broker: A person or company that arranges for the truck transportation of cargo belonging to others, using for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation. Bulk Cargo or Large quantities of undivided or unpackaged cargo, such as a tank Bulk Freight: trailer filled with gasoline. Cabotage: The rights of a country to control the movement of vessels and vehicles transporting goods or passengers within its borders. May refer to the transportation of cargo between two points within a country by a vehicle registered in another country. Cargo: See Freight/Commodity. Consignee: The person or entity transferring legal responsibility or ownership of the cargo (or consignment) from the carrier. (Receiver). Consignment: An agreement between a consignee and a consignor in which the goods are taken responsibility for and transported by a third party, the carrier. May also simply refer to the consigned goods (i.e., the cargo). (Shipper). Consignor: The person or entity transferring legal responsibility or ownership of the cargo (or consignment) to the carrier. Deadheading: Operating a truck with an empty trailer.

  • Chassis Layout of an Autonomous Truck a Transportation Concept for the Mining Industry
    Chassis Layout of an Autonomous Truck A Transportation Concept for the Mining Industry Johannes Dahl Gabriél-André Grönvik Mechanical Engineering, masters level 2016 Luleå University of Technology Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics Preface This thesis was performed by Johannes Dahl and Gabriél-André Grönvik at Scania. Johannes was studying Mechanical Engineering at Luleå University of Technology and has experience in product development and great knowledge in machine design and components. Gabriél was studying Vehicle Engineering at KTH and has competence in vehicle concepts, components and dynamics. The authors want to thank the supervisors Jenny Jerrelind at KTH, Torbjörn Lindbäck at LTU and Måns Lundberg at Scania for their support and advices. We also want to thank other personnel at Scania; our boss Christian Lauffs, Eric Falkgrim and Jan Dellrud for running this project, Mikael Wågberg and Daniel Bergqvist for sharing their expertise about the mining industry and everyone that we have been in contact with at Scania for exchanging many great ideas. Finally, we want to thank all staff at RTMX for great support, good advice and involvement. I II Abstract Autonomous driving might increase safety and profitability of trucks in many applications. The mining industry, with its enclosed and controlled areas, is ideal for early implementation of autonomous solutions. The possibility of increased productivity, profitability and safety for the mining industry and the mining area as a ground for development could, through collaboration, result in many benefits for both mining companies and truck manufactures. Scania must investigate how these autonomous vehicles should be constructed. The project goal is thereby to develop a chassis layout concept for an autonomous truck.

  • Ford Trucks Tractor Series
    Ford Trucks Tractor Series TRUCKS Sharing the load It’s the way of the world... Wherever we travel, we long for those we leave behind. A burden shared is a burden halved. And that’s why we’re here: to share the load. To love takes strength. But it takes greater strength to leave the ones you love behind. The long journey may be fuelled with diesel, but it’s the little photo on the dashboard and our cherished memories that keep us going. We know how long the road can seem... How quickly seasons change and how children grow taller with every passing day. We transport tons of grain for the sake of a simple loaf shared among friends and loved ones. They say in business, “Your word is your bond”. When measured on a scale, what has greater weight than a promise? And when people have put their faith in you, who do you turn to? We will get there whichever way the road turns. We may carry a load, but we deliver a promise. Perhaps one day machines will carry our burdens as well as our load. But until then, we’re the ones on this road. Join us. We’re moving forward... They say “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together...” Sharing the load... 2 3 Ford Trucks Tractor Series: Moving forward with every new feature It’s no easy feat to carry the load across long distances on international and intercity roads. It’s hard to beat the fierce competition and even harder to find a powerful companion that will share your load… Ford Trucks Tractor Series offers high performance with low fuel consumption, thanks to the powerful Ecotorq engine.

  • Kiribati Ports Authority
    KIRIBATI PORTS AUTHORITY Dues, Fees & Tariff Betio & Kiritimati Ports November, 2018 PREAMBLE This tariff is designed to provide complete details on dues, fees and rates that KPA applies in accordance to Sections under Part V of the KPA Act 1999. This tariff is the outcome of a thorough review by Management and Board of Directors. The new changes to certain rates particularly to charges to ship-owners are introduced to focus mainly on simplifying charges to ship- owners. In other words, KPA invoice to ship-owners would reflect charges mainly on fixed cost and exclude variable costs such as overtime, overseas bonuses and food rations. Such variable costs would no longer be charged to ship-owners but are to be controlled by KPA from the 25% increase over the stevedoring rates and other certain rates. Security and environmental fees are no longer to be charged separately on the invoice as they are also incorporated in the said 25% increase. The new tariff, on the other hand, is envisaged to assist ship-owners very much in planning ahead their cost in visiting KPA as they would no longer be charged of the variable costs. This new tariff is designed to be effective in November 2018 until it is reviewed again when the need arise. KPA remains to have the authority to review the tariff at any time in association with the approval of the Hon. Minister of Ministry of Information, Communications, Transport and Tourism Development.
